Freshly Baked!
“Yakitate!! Japan” is the title of Takashi Hashiguchi’s epic series which translates to “freshly baked Japan.” The short manga clip below is extracted from an episode and explores some British stereotypes. The lyrics to the clip have been sub-titled as:
♪We’re English, and we love tea.♪
♪Occasionally, we hang out at pubs, too.♪
♪You can’t buy our bread with Euros.♪
♪We add malt vinegar to everything.♪
♪Fish ‘n’ chips.♪
♪Fish ‘n’ chips.♪
The series consists of about 20 volumes covering the plight of the hero Kazuma Azuma’s quest to handcraft a specialty style of Japanese bread, Ja-pan. “Pan” in this context is a pun as it is the Japanese word for “bread”. Azuma posseses a superpower, Solar Hands, which really help out when he kneads dough (the bread rises faster because his hands are warmer).

Haha. I loved this too ^^. Featured it in my previous Fish and Chips post as an afterthought :p. It’s quite true though, in some respects!
I have to check out the Manga, but the lyrics of me is pretty spot on >_<
