Yakitate!! Japan, Volume 2

takashi hashiguchi

Budding bakers Kazuma and Kawachi prepare for their first assignment at Pantasia's South Tokyo branch, but their afro-sporting manager's initial challenge is anything but a piece of cake--they must create French bread that not only tastes good to humans, but to horses as well. Kazuma's used to baking unusual bread for tough customers, but how on earth is he going to come up with some equine edibles that transcend the boundaries of taste and species?!

About the author

takashi hashiguchi

Takashi Hashiguchi (橋口たかし) is a Japanese manga artist. He is best known for his manga series Yakitate!! Japan, for which he won the Shogakukan Manga Award for shōnen in 2004. Hashiguchi won a newcomer's award in 1987 (published in a magazine), and Combat Teacher debuted the following year in the same magazine.

A prevailing theme seen throughout his manga is the realization of childhood dreams, such as making bread in Yakitate!! Japan or becoming a yo-yo master in Super Yo-Yo (Chousoku Spinner). Hashiguchi mainly focuses on unusual occupations or sports.

He enjoys comedy as well, and took a brief interlude from drawing to try his luck as a comedian.
