Genre Shift
 Antique Bakery (Manga) / int_177a6464
comment
Genre Shift: A very subtle one, but at the end of the series Antique Bakery gets some detective/thriller-ish overtones as the police begins to believe that the same man who kidnapped Tachibana when he was a kid has resurfaced and is now kidnapping and killing kids, while also buying cakes from Antique. Turns out it's another person entirely.

French Cuisine Is Haughty
 Antique Bakery (Manga) / int_35db4433
comment
French Cuisine Is Haughty: The titular cake shop has a menu entirely in French to evoke this idea, the head pâtissière learned his trade and title in France, and the apprentice goes to France for advanced cuisine instruction. The waitstaff, thankfully, don't manage the snooty part of the stereotype.

2D Visuals, 3D Effects: One of the more infamous qualities is the constant CG shots of Antique Bakery and other little details. There won't be an episode where there isn't a CG shot of something.

Punny Name: Chikage; "kage" meaning shadow, the joke being that he follows Tachibana everywhere. It's actually how he introduces himself to Ono and Eiji.

Stepford Smiler: Keiichiro was kidnapped when he was about nine and he barely remembers anything from his experience. However, it's clear that whatever happened has left him emotionally and mentally scarred. As a result, he plays off his behavior and hides his pain from everyone around him. Ono was rejected by Keiichiro, which hurt him deeply. In the first episode, he said that he even considered suicide because of Keiichiro's rejection. On top of that, the man he dated after that incident turned out to be an abusive and controlling man. Years later after being away from France, that same boyfriend tries to get Ono to work for him again. When Ono turned him down, the former was beaten up and almost had his fingers broken by him. The sad thing is, though, Ono tries to defend him.

Dark and Troubled Past: Keiichiro in spades. He was kidnapped at the age of nine by a man whose motives remain unknown and he was forced to eat sweets that he bought. At some point before he was rescued, Keiichiro stabbed him with a knife, possibly in a blind panic. Then when he's finally found, his kidnapper had slipped away before the police got to him. Throughout the series, it cuts back to nightmare sequences, slowly revealing what happened to him.
