The characters are great.
wow!
japan#51 is he delicious bread i ever taste....
I don't know how I got into watching 69 episodes and reading 21 manga about people making bread but somehow I did and it was fantastic! It made me appreciate bread more as well as other culinary things too. It was because of Yakitate Japan that I started to like eating freshly baked bread as weird as it sounds, it tastes so good! I never found out if there are such places like Pantasia in Japan but the Iron Chef is pretty close to it ;) Anywhoo, if you're interested on learning Japanese with me, PM me at Jappleng (Ethernal Stal). Ja na!
