Synopsis
One day, Keiichiro Tachibana opens a cake shop. Then a gifted pâissier (pastry chef) called Ono appears. Tachibana and Ono were classmates in high school, but Tachibana gave Ono (a man!) the cold shoulder back then. Luckily, Ono doesn’t remember Tachibana. Tachibana feels relieved and persuades Ono to work for him as a chef / pâissier. However, Ono is a gay of “Irresistible Charm” now and gives Tachibana nightmares by trying to seduce him.
At this cake shop called Antique, an incident from Tachibana’s childhood is revealed, and a variety of cakes is presented. This is a delightful comedy anime which centers around good-looking men, such as Tachibana (the owner), Ono (a gifted pâissier), Eiji (a former boxer) and Chikage (a waiter).
