The Anime series?

I was hoping to find more information on the Anime series here or on IMDb, but unfortunately both sources seem to have very little useful information. I've seen several episodes of the series (which I believe has twelve 23-minute episodes total). I suspect these closely follow the storyline, style, and characters of the manga, but I don't know for certain. 24.57.205.218 (talk) 23:16, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

The Japanese drama series

I'm confused about the actors for the Japanese drama series. This page conflicts with IMDb, listing a different set of actors for the main roles.

Keisuke Tachibana - Kippei Shiina OR Koichi Yamadera

Yusuke Ono - Naohito Fujiki OR Hozumi Goda

Eiji Kanda - Hideaki Takizawa OR Tomokazu Seki

Chikage Kobayakawa - ??? OR Kazuhiko Inoue

Who is right? Were there two live-action series?

• Responding to old post, but just to clarify, the cast on the left is the Japanese drama series while the cast on the right is the drama CD. lullabying (talk) 01:41, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Conclusion

May we attend to questions raised above? --Whiteguru (talk) 03:57, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

@Whiteguru: I've removed the overlinking in the Audio drama section per your suggestion. Regarding your question about where Antique Bakery sits relative to other works depicting homosexuality, I've tried to clarify the "Portrayal of homosexuality" to explicate that the story does not feature sex (in contrast to BL, where sexual depictions are commonplace), and added additional prose from the Aoyama source to note that the series parodies and subverts expecations of BL narratives in this regard. Morgan695 (talk) 04:57, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

@Morgan695: I'm happy with that, and pleased that you picked up DVD, as well. I understand the functions of BL vis-a-vis anime and how Antique Bakery is presented. We'll take that as sorted. --Whiteguru (talk) 05:02, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
