I orginally started watching this 3 years ago or something, but stopped, for some reason I couldn't remember, so I picked it up again just out of interest.
Painstakingly slow, its a wonder they pushed 4 volumes into 12 eps. It would have been better as a 2 ep OVA.
But if you wanna watch it at 2x speed to actually get some grips as to the plot, go for it.
If you're in the mood for something slow, it's a nice meander of character development with slight hints of BL, but nothing concrete.
Not really worth the time, in all honesty.

The animation style is quite attractive and very well done in terms of the interaction between the characters and the background, but there were times for me when the background distracted from the foreground figures. The characters could have had more depth, they were a bit too sweet for me. I wish they had messed up the running of the patisserie sometimes, burnt the cakes, burnt the coffee, spilt something, it would have made it more real for me. Overall, good for one viewing, but I don't think I'll watch it again. (show less)
