Yakitate!! Japan, Vol. 24 by Takashi Hashiguchi

Are you ready for the Iron Chef of bread?! Manga shall not live by bread alone.

England. France. Germany. What common thread binds these three nations together? Answer: each is famous for producing unique, distinctive, delicious bread. But what about Japan, home to rice and delicacies of the sea? Is there not a doughy, gastronomic delight they can claim as their own? The answer is no...until now! Kazuma Azuma, a 16-year-old-boy blessed with otherworldly baking powers, has taken it upon himself to create Ja-pan, the national bread of the land of the rising sun!

As Azuma and Team Pantasia compete in the eleventh round of the "Yakitate!! 25" bread battle, they realize that a reaction to an eggy creation has transformed judge Kuro-yan into Pantasia's archenemy, Kirisaki! Azuma tries buttering him up to roll back the team's imminent defeat, but in the process a shocking truth about their shared history is revealed! A rare type of flour just may soothe the wounds of the past--but will going against the grain help Azuma and his team or just cause more bitter feelings?

Takashi Hashiguchi got the Young Magazine Gekkan Shinjinsho (Newcomer's Award) from Kodansha in 1987, as well as a Tetsuya Chiba Award honorable mention. With Combat Teacher, he made his debut in 1988. Hashiguchi claims that he tried his hand at comedy for a time, but that disagreements with his collaborator drove him to return to manga. Street Fighter II Bakusho Yon-koma Gaiden (Street Fighter II Hilarious 4-panel Gag Outside Tale), Chosoku Spinner (High Speed Spinner), Windmill, Scissors, and Yakitate!! are some of his most notable works. Saijo no Meii (The Absolute Great Doctor), his most recent series, is presently serialized in Weekly Shonen Sunday.
