Antique Bakery manga follows Keiichiro Tachibana, who was kidnapped as a child. The only thing he remembers is that the kidnapper forced him to eat sweets and he somehow ends up opening a Bakery to deal with his past trauma.
Mangas like Hana Yori Dango and The Way of the Househusband have gained much popularity through their live-action series. It seems like Antique Bakery is also following the same footsteps.
Recently, Thai television production company GMMTV announced that the company is producing a live-action series based on the Antique Bakery manga titled Baker Boys. The series will premiere in 2021.
