As anyone who knows Digital Manga Publishing knows, this title is NOT yaoi. If it was, June - the yaoi branch of DMP - would have put it out so, any tags that say "yaoi" are wrong. It's shonen-ai at best.
That warning out of the way, it is a good read. Even gay guys like it & normally they hate yaoi/shonen-ai. It's a in-depth story of 4 men, their lives & the people who influence them & who they influence.
If you're a "foodie", you will love this series!

Well, first off, to the purists - this is shōnen-ai, not yaoi. (Though even THAT description is pushing it.) There is NO romance between the characters, and NOTHING remotely explicit. The chef just happens to be gay, and got rejected by the bakery owner in high school. (The reason the chef can't keep a job, despite being excellent in the kitchen, is because he is [supposedly] irresistible to both gay and straight men alike, and keeps causing fights - though we NEVER get to see them.)
Frankly, I was bored with all the in-depth description of deserts - I am not a foodie. (If you are, you'll be in heaven.)
The whole book was rather erratic, and kinda doesn't make sense until you read the next volume - when you learn more character background and a (rather mild) seduction starts with a peripheral character.
I really don't see why this series won any awards. But that's my opinion, so whatever.
