Anime Niche Masterposts - Baking & Sweets Edition
I’ve decided to create masterposts for anime not based on genres but on specific, niche subgenres. First we have anime and manga that are heavily focused on baked goods and the creation of baked goods!
-Yumeiro Patissiere*(Shoujo, 63 episodes)
-Komomo Confiserie (Shoujo, 5 volumes so far)
-Kitchen Princess (Shoujo, 10 volumes)
-Bonjour Aiaji Patisserie (Otome, 24 episodes)
-Antique Bakery*(Josei/Shonen-ai, 12 episodes)
-My Love Story!*(RomCom, 24 episodes)
While more focused on the romance of the two leads (and the comedy that comes along with it) My Love Story! would definitely be a hit with fans of “Sweets” anime. Yamato is constantly churning out little cakes and cookies for her boyfriend and even works at a cake store toward the end. There’s even a random baking competition arc with a side character that reminded me of Yumeiro Patissiere a lot.
-Gochuumon wa Usagi desu ka?*(Slice-of-Life, 24 episodes)
While more fluffy and focus-lacking than traditional baking shows, Gochuumon gives a lot of focus to the drinks and sweets the girls eat/sell. This painfully cute anime has plenty of baked goods porn to go around :)
