Summary
Yakitate means "fresh baked", but the word "Japan" is actually a pun - pan means bread in Japanese, so Kazuma is out to make Japan, a unique Japanese bread to compete with the best bread from around the world!

Azuma became obsessed with bread when he was six years old. His sister yelled that their family should start having bread for breakfast sometimes, but their grandfather refused to even consider it, as he would only eat natto, miso soup, and rice for breakfast. Kazuma agreed, saying he didn`t like bread, but his sister kidnaps him and takes him to a bread store to show him the wonders of fresh-baked bread. Not only is Kazuma converted, but the owner discovers that Kazuma has the magical "Hands of the Sun" whose warmth makes them particularly suited to making bread. The owner packs up shop and goes to Tokyo to fulfill his dream of making Japan, but Kazuma continues his bread-baking dream as well, and ends up going to Tokyo himself when he`s sixteen, to compete for a spot at the foremost bread store in Japan - Pantasia!

I've recently watched a couple of episodes of this anime, at first I thought it was some boring anime about bakery, which is gonna suck the life outta me, and waste my time in a bad way, until I watched one episode of it.

My view changed after watching the first episode, I laughed my ass off, and I really enjoyed it, sure the concept of the anime is somewhat weird, but the jokes are quite funny, I've only started watching it but I'm moving with it quite fast, and it's really hard for me to do that with an anime and actually go for a completion, I really recommend you people watching it, it's 69 episodes btw.

Anyone else watch/watched it?
 
I read the manga, and have one volume left to read. It's quite funny, and very interesting in the information about bread making and different types of bread. It probably should have finished sooner (the manga is 26 volumes) but it's still entertaining for the most part considering it's mainly one bread contest after another.
