"The world of Patissier-san to Ojousan is kind, with no serious negative scenes. It's a story about characters who look onwards" - Author's afterword in Volume 2 Patissier-san to Ojousan starts as a fun gag romance manga, with simple 4-page chapters that show a handsome patissier who has developed an intense crush on one of his store's frequent customers, and yet his own shyness constantly renders him unable to ask for her name. Just when you start to fear the gag can't be stretched for much longer and the story will become repetitive, the formula changes into a much more standard romance story, with ourtwo characters establishing conversation and growing closer by the visit. Let's be clear from the start: This is by no means a profound, passionate romance story with characters who grow and develop alongside each other; instead, it's a fluffy will-they-wont-they whose appeal lies entirely in the main characters and their interactions. The titular "Patissier-san" and his adored "Headband-chan", as they get nicknamed through the series, are nothing but tooth-achingly adorable, and there wasn't a single chapter that didn't have me giddily hiding my face in my pillows. The art is also very enjoyable. All the characters have simple designs, combining more classic manga body proportions with silly round faces (especially chibi-looking in the case of the FL) but making these elements harmonize with each other instead of clash. This sillier, standard 'manga' look for the characters contrasts with the realistic style in which the pastries are drawn, making them stand out and seem super appetizing! That being said, the main flaw is that aside from Ryou (the ML's older brother and owner of the shop he works at), nothing is really ever done with the side characters. I understand that it's a limitation of the shorter format but I'd rather have little to no additional characters than have a decent sized cast and do nothing with most characters. This issue is particularly prominent in the last couple of chapters, with the introduction of a certain character in an attempt to add a bit of a classic 'we're ending soon so we gotta raise the stakes!' type finale, only for it to feel jammed in and not really go anywhere. Still, I absolutely loved this manga and can't recommend it enough to anyone who's looking for a light, feel-good read!
Once a week, a young woman rewards herself by visiting her favorite pâtisserie after work. The shop is run by two handsome brothersâone of whom is always at the front of the shop when she arrives. While shyly ordering all the cakes that catch her eye, the young woman often wonders what the pâtissier thinks of her. Simultaneously, said pâtissier tries to work up the courage to ask for her name, failing to do so with each attempt. As the woman returns to the same shop time and time again, the pâtissier must find a way to approach her if he wants to ever learn her name. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
This is such a cute manga! If your looking for a short and feel good romance manga i would defiantly recommend. The arts very cute and I like how the colors change between chapters. The art is very pretty, to me at least, and fits the tone of the story perfectly. I absolutely love that no one tries to get the Female lead to lose weight. I also really like how in love with our Fl the male lead. I was a little worried I would get annoyed with the initial premise but its good at moving on when it needs to. Overall the storyis just so cute!!!
