Reception

[edit]

Critical reception

[edit]

Antique Bakeryis noted as Yoshinaga's first major commercial success as a manga artist, following a career in which she was best known as an author ofboys' love(BL) anddōjinshi.[8]InManga: The Complete Guide,writerJason Thompsongave the manga series four out of five stars, writing that it avoids "cliched sitcom plot while managing to be both character-driven and totally hilarious," and praised its pacing, artwork, and dialogue.[1]Reviewing the series forThe Comics Journal,Noah Berlatsky wrote that its "popFreudianismis depressingly ill-advised "in regards to the tragic backstories of the primary characters, while he praised the series' art and character designs.[35]In his review forAnime News Network,Jason Thompson commended the series' simple art, and praised it as "one of the fewbishonenmanga which depicts gay characters and prejudice in even a remotely realistic way. "[9]

Reviewing the anime adaptation forAnime News Network,Carl Kimlinger praised the series' animation and characters but criticized its romance and kidnapping subplots, writing thatAntique Bakery"top-loads its plot with preposterous romantic entanglements and forces unnecessary structure onto it with Tachibana's kidnapping."[36]Cathy Yan lauded the series' voice acting in her review forManga Bookshelf,but criticized its animation as overly reliant onCGIelements.[37]

Awards

[edit]

TheAntique Bakerymanga series won theKodansha Manga Awardin theshōjocategory in 2002,[38]and the English-language translation was nominated for anEisner Awardfor "Best U.S. Edition of International Material – Japan"in 2007.[39]At the 31stTelevision Drama Academy Awards[ja]in 2001, the Japanese television drama adaptation won awards in the Best Series, Supporting Actor (forKippei Shiina), Theme Song, Music, Casting, and Title Sequence categories; a special award was also given toTsuji Confectionery College[ja]for the design of the pastries and baked goods used in the series.[40]In 2002, the Japanese television drama adaptation won theNikkan Sports Drama Grand Prixfor Best Drama and Best Actor (forHideaki Takizawa).[41]

Analysis

[edit]

Portrayal of cooking and gender

[edit]

Tomoko Aoyama has considered the depiction of cooking inAntique Bakeryin relation to the Japanese concepts ofhare(Tình れ,used to describe things that are special and exotic)andke(,used to describe things that are mundane and trivial).While the elaborate cakes and pastries ofAntique Bakeryare self-evidentlyhare,she notes howAntique Bakerycomplicates thehare-kedichotomy through its presentation of gender.[42]While male professional cooking andconnoisseurshipare generally regarded ashareand female cooking is seen aske,the main characters ofAntique Bakerysubvert "assumptions based on age, gender, sexuality, appearance, occupation, education, class, [and] status."[42]For example, Ono is a skilled chef but is coded as female as a result of his homosexuality, while Kanda is regarded by others as cute (a feminine trait) but vulgar (a masculine trait).[43]Desserts in general are seeminglykefor being delicate and "unmanly", but their exoticism as French pastries for a Japanese clientele, as well as the level of skill and craftsmanship required to create them, renders them ashare.[43]

Portrayal of homosexuality

[edit]

Yoshinaga has describedAntique Bakeryas not a work ofBL,but as ashōjomanga with gay characters, stating that "being regarded as BL may limit the range of the audience, but there’s nothing I can do about it, and more importantly, I want my readers to read as they like. Surely we should be allowed to read manga with whatever dogma and prejudice we like."[44]Critics and readers have often considered the series as a work of BL,[21]with Xuan Bach Tran describingAntique Bakeryas "not a BL manga, but ashōjowork with a lot of BL flavour. "[45]Tomoko Aoyama states that while BL elements are "clearly present" inAntique Bakery,in contrast to typical BL works the series does not depict sex or sexuality graphically, and instead "encourages readers to use their imagination" in regards to the nature of the relationships between the characters.[21]She praises the series' effective "use and parody [of] BL conventions,"[46]particularlyAntique Afterwards,which she commends as "by no means simple, formulaic pornography" but instead a series that subverts expectations of BL narratives through their use of comedy and irony.[21]

Akiko Mizoguchi discussesAntique Afterwardsin her research ofyaoidōjinshi,noting that while mostdōjinshiarederivative workscreated byfan artists,Antique Afterwardsis notable as afan workcreated by the artist themselves.[20]Mizoguchi considers the series a form ofunderground comicsdespite being created by Yoshinaga, noting that the series contains material that would be regarded as too explicit byshōjoeditorial standards, and thatAntique Bakerypublisher Shinshokan has not acknowledged the existence ofAntique Afterwardsin eitherWingsor in the series'tankōboneditions.[20]
