BL Anime: Antique Bakery (Fujiwara Keiji, Miki Shinichiro, Miyano Mamoru)

Antique BakeryAs we say goodbye to the first season of Junjou Romantica, here comes a new BL anime that you shouldn’t miss :) Antique Bakery アンティーク~西洋骨董洋菓子店~!

This series, depicting the lives of four men who work in a small bakery, is based on manga by Yoshinaga Fumi よしながふみ, the mangaka who gave us memorable and touching BL stories such as Gerard & Jacques ジェラールとジャック that has engaging plot and well-fleshed out characters. It won the 2002 Kodansha Manga Award for the shojo manga category. Slated for 12 episodes and featuring some of my favourite seiyuus, such as Miki Shinichirou and Miyano Mamoru as the leads… I’m a happy girl ^^

Title: 第26話「深紅の魂、生ける志士どもを走らす」

The original run was 25 episodes… gaaah… what a way to entice buyers/collectors… the producers pulled the same stunt for Darker than Black too (-_- ||) sheesh~ Since I’m already broke from collecting DtB, etc… and I doubt Koutetsu Sangokushi will be licensed anytime soon… Hopefully the subs surface real quickly!

Sweet Scent of BL (BLの香り)
In case you’re not familiar with this series, Koutetsu Sangokushi was aired in 2007 and is very loosely based on the hugely popular and well-loved Chinese historical novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms (三國演義) but given a very, VERY slashy treatment. Well, it can’t be helped, no? The warring period was filled with warriors and hot men :D LOL~ Oh~ the potential! Even Koyasu Takehito who voiced one of the leads, Shoukatsuryou Koumei (諸葛亮孔明) commented on his blog about the “Scent of BL (BLの香り)” within the series. *snickers* :3
