Yakitate!! Japan, Vol. 3

By Takashi Hashiguchi

Book Overview

Are you ready for the Iron Chef of bread? Manga shall not live by bread alone.

England. France. Germany. What common thread binds these three nations together? Answer: each is famous for producing unique, distinctive, delicious bread. But what about Japan, home to rice and delicacies of the sea? Is there not a doughy, gastronomic delight they can claim as their own? The answer is no...until now Kazuma Azuma, a 16-year-old-boy blessed with otherworldly baking powers, has taken it upon himself to create Ja-pan, the national bread of the land of the rising sun

After a brief sojourn in Izu, Kazuma returns with the special ingredient he dreams will win him the Pantasia Rookie Tournament. The challenge this time is a dubious one indeed: to bake a loaf of bread that won't mold for three entire weeks. Meanwhile, Kazuma's brother-in- arms Kawachi has been undergoing intense training to up his baking acumen, but does he have what it takes to develop his own "Hands of the Sun"?
