Yakitate!! Japan

Kazuma Azuma dreams of baking bread that embodies Japan and can rival rice as the nation's staple. With his legendary “Hands of the Sun” – unnaturally warm hands that accelerate dough fermentation – his loaves taste like slices of heaven. When the Pantasia Rookie Competition arrives, everyone will taste his skill. Alongside his friend Kawachi, who is in it purely for the dough, Kazuma faces koala karate masters, Harvard bread scientists, samurai wielding rolling‑pin swords, and more. Can he craft bread that is like naan other and achieve glory, or should he quit before he’s toast?
