Plot Summary: A small town boy, Azuma Kazuma, goes to Tokyo to further develop his replacement for rice…his bread, Ja-pan. His dream is to make bread that will one day be unique to Japan, as French bread is unique to France. He has been inventing different kinds of bread since childhood, and finally goes to the big city to apply at the most prestigious bakery in all Japan, but all he really wants is a chance to show the country and the world that Japan can also have its own signature ... bread. Because of his talents he is thrown into the middle of a battle between the two top bakeries of Japan, but he still sees it as yet another opportunity to make more of his various Ja-pans.

Characters: The relationships of the family members were the most fascinating in the series. Aya and Aki had the typical brother/sister relationship of bickering and understanding, but after their 16th birthday it became more intense. Aki now desired the maiden inside of Aya. Aya also had a lot of growth, as she fought to control Ceres and save her brother from their power-hungry family. All of the characters have inner demons that they are constantly fighting in order to protect the ones they love.

Glimpse:
Storyline: I tried so hard to follow the story and where it was trying to take me. Maybe if I was familiar with the game, but I'm not and the same could be said for many of the viewers out there. The story was simple enough and quite beautifully laid out for about the first half of the series, then it took a spiraling nose-dive into complete confusion. There was a side story set in feudal times that seemed very interesting but didn't fully connect with main storyline, as did a ... few other side stories. This series was just way too short for what it was trying to accomplish.
