WAH! "Antique Bakery" Doujinshi!
I guess you guys should know Antique Bakery.
It's a series that deals with a childhood trauma suffered by the protagonist, Tachibana, that decided to open a sweets-shop to find the guy who kidnapped him when he was a kid.
Together with Tachibana we met Ono, the gay patissier that confessed his feelings to Tachibana once in high-school and got horribly rejected, Chikage, Tachibana's attendant who looks like a mobster but he's actually a moron, and Kanda, a young ex-boxer who can't box anymore and decides to revive himself as a patissier under Ono's guidance.
The series is a kind of thriller with some dark moments and gives shonen-ai feelings, mostly because of Ono's presence, but it's prettily free from actual gayness (but for a bit when Ono, "The Devilish Gay", seduces clueless Chikage) so you can enjoy the nice plot and delicate depiction of the character's psychological troubles also if you despise the genre.
The series is 4 volumes long (licensed) and it's also available in anime autoconclusive format, 12 episodes long.
What I didn't know is that Yoshinaga Fumi, the original mangaka, in a typical Yaoi fangirl spree released a good amount of doujinshi, continuing the manga plotline by herself.
You can find the 10 doujinshi scanlated here (there's one missing), but the ones I really suggest you are the last ones (the others are fun too! They perform Ono's first time and various fantasies from Ono to a group of fangirls that attend the store) that perform an actual "sequel" to the original story:
Eien Wa Arimasu Ka (Is there something like For Ever?) : Ono slept with an asshole who actually bet him up because Ono dumped him.
To avoid troubles for Chikage, he ran to Tachibana for help.
Tachibana took care of his wounds and such, and his kindness together with Ono's rage, make him ending up molested by Ono!!
Then Ono realizes that he did so out of his frustrated feelings and Tachibana is pretty aware of it.
"Listen Ono, we'll never be lovers. This way, we'll never break up."
Akuma No Youna Otoko (The Man like the Devil) : Ono returns to his appartment together with Chikage (under Tachibana's request), to find that his lover didn't left the place.
Chikage gave him a few of his intimidating faces and the guy of course ran away, leaving pointless threats behind.
Here Chikage decides to give in to his feelings and "be nice" to Ono, also if he's aware that Ono's nature is not that of a faithful and dedicated man.
At the same instant, Ono realized just how selfish and egoist he is-- Being perfectly ok with it.
Aoi Tori (The Blue Bird) : Ono moves to a new apartment and the guys helped him.
Ono, Chikage and Tachibana had dinner together to celebrate the new house, and as Tachibana felt asleep 'cause he's drunk, Ono and Chikage tried to sort out their relationship.
At night Tachibana had one of his nightmares, and Ono is surprised to see Chikage rushing to take care of his troubled "Young Master"... Ono realized how bad of a person he is: he's not just happy to have Chikage to like him-- He wants to like him ONLY.
Tameiki wo Tsukinagara (He gently sighed) : Ono cheated on Chikage with a confused man he met in a gay bar, then caught a little fever from him.
Tachibana offered to take care of him, and Ono decided to confess his troubled situation to Tachibana: he really like someone, and he's jealous about him, but he's still the same perv and unfaithful bastard as ever.
Tachibana realizes that the guy is hopeless, but he still hopes that he can be happy with this new lover... And so hopes Ono.
Tanabata No Yoru (Tanabata Night) : It's Tanabata night and Tachibana brings yutaka to everyone to give a traditional flavour to the shop.
He helped everyone wearing their clothes and since he's there he told Ono that he realized that he's dating Chikage and profitted to scold him.
Fortunately he also gave them their blessing, so it's all ok.
But for Ono's real feelings.
I really enjoyed those; if you are a fan of the series or just happened to like it, really suggest you to giva them a peek :D
