In Volume 3 of the award-winning manga, Ono's mentor Jan, an ingenious French patisier, enters the story. Two women reporters - a.k.a. "busty female announcer unit Haruka & Tammy" - also enter the scene, and while manager Tachibana is interested in them, they're only interested in Ono's cakes. Continuing what makes Antique Bakery great, each new character has his own lumbering way of searching for happiness, and we dig deeper into the closets of the series' most popular characters.
