Description

Toshimitsu Yamamura owns a real estate company and loves baking delicious, healthy snacks in his spare time. When his coworker comes to him one day with the idea of advertising their real estate agency as LGBT-friendly, Toshi realizes this little change could really help people who often face discrimination in his industry. He's terrified, though, because he worries this move will out him as gay. Joined by his boyfriend Gonta who inspired him to bake in the first place, Toshi navigates a changing world that's slowly becoming more accepting, faces his fears and discomfort, and bakes some incredibly lovely treats along the way.

An okay dessert to Kinou Nani Tabeta

For context, just like Yoshinaga Fumi's What Did You Eat Yesterday, this is published in a Seinen magazine. In other words, this is actually a Seinen story.

Both the premise and the story structure of this series also mimics What Did You Eat Yesterday.

Most chapters start with a small tidbit of the MCs' lives, followed by tons of cooking (baking here), with a little bit of reflection and then some couple time to close off the chapters. The MCs have an Opposite Attracts dynamic, with the more cooking-centered half of the pair being a salaryman who's way more high-strung, health-conscious, and image-conscious compared to the relaxed half of the pair, who's working in the service industry.

Overall, while I do feel the story can try to be a bit more different, I do enjoy the formula so I don't mind much.

Where it differs is in the overall tone and its underlying politics. A lot of people in other places have THOUGHTS about them, and I sort of agree with them; the tone of this story is pretty conservative.

The characters hate prejudice, yet they also hate those who are being too open about their queerness. They hate society's lack of understanding but they themselves are pretty judgmental towards others who live different lifestyles than them. All they want is to maintain their own peace and nothing more. Even the later moments when they actually came out to people are mostly done bcs not coming out is directly affecting them or people around them.

And the tone is also more... vivid.

Yeah, vivid. At best.

More exaggerated faces and dramatic reactions. More arguments and whining. Sometimes they even cross the line to catty and bitchy.

The main characters complain about other people and each other, they hold biases and prejudice even about their supposed friends, they are very conscious about staying in the closet and gets suspicious and jealous and defensive very easily when someone else suspects they are gay.

It's a portrayal of gay community that dances between the line of 'unflinchingly real' and 'just call me a slur.' With all that in mind, I can completely understand the distaste some people feel here. I definitely like the whole cast much less than the cast of What Did You Eat Yesterday.

But.

But I personally find it all very compelling read.

As harsh as it is, as catty as it is, this is all a very real portrayal of a certain subsection of gay people, especially the ones living in a majority conservative culture. The ones who just want to live quietly in the shadows, for better or worse. The ones that mistake pride with bitchiness.

Still reading through it so I'm waiting to see if that worldview gets challenged, but overall the portrayal manages to portray the nuances of living as a (image-conscious) gay person that I suspect either the creator is themselves queer, or they personally know someone with this kind of mindset.

Overall I still recommend What Did You Eat Yesterday first, but this is easily a good counterpart/comparison.
