Yakitate!! Japan (焼きたて!! ジャぱん, meaning “Freshly Baked!! Ja-pan”) is a manga serialised in Shogakukan’s Shonen Sunday, by Takashi Hashiguchi (橋口たかし, Takashi Hashiguchi). 21 graphic novels have been released as of January 2006. For the anime 69 episodes were produced by Sunrise, and was broadcast on TV Tokyo and other local stations from October 2004 to March 2006. The manga series has been licensed by VIZ Media. The series won the 2004 Shogakukan Manga Prize (小学館漫画賞, Shogakukan Manga Prize)) for best Shonen Manga.
The story focuses on Kazuma Azuma, a boy on his quest to create Ja-pan, a national bread for Japan itself. He initially heads to Tokyo to expand his bread-making horizons at the bread-making chain Pantasia; the story continues with Azuma’s exploits with his other coworkers.

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!
Yakitate!! Japan is a very interesting anime.. I got hooked with this anime… :)
