Antique Bakery 2

I don’t approve of the addition of sunglasses man. He doesn’t quite fit into the bakery, but I suppose they needed another person so that the main character could run out and do Christmas deliveries. That chapter about sampling the Christmas food was pretty funny. There were a bunch of good parts, like the chapter about Ono and sunglasses where the main character got a slap in over a slight to sunglasses, or where we learn young kid was some sort of punk manwhore when he was younger. They needed to balance the supergay chapter after it with a chapter that implied a lot of straight sex. In fact, so much straight sex that the young boy didn’t want any anymore.
My favorite chapter this time around though was probably the one where we learn so much about the main character’s past. He’s not just some scruffy old dude, he’s actually got a lot of family that care about him and a traumatic past that ties back to the bakery. At this point, I’m beginning to like the little time slips the series does occasionally, because they always seem to tie back.
Not that I even want an overarching plot, but maybe we’ll get one yet. We’ll see.
