Synopsis
Continues the story of Yume-iro Pâtissière
In Yume-iro Pâtissière, Ichigo Amano is a clumsy girl with an overwhelming passion for cakes. Her life changes when she meets Henri Lucas, a famous patissier who discovers her hidden but remarkable talent for tasting desserts. Recognizing her potential, Henri enrolls her at St. Marie Academy, an elite school specializing in pastry arts. Despite Ichigo's lack of experience and skill, she is placed in the top-tier class due to Henri's recommendation, joining the "Sweets Princes." These princes are renowned throughout the academy for their magical confections, and include Sennosuke Andou, skilled in traditional Japanese sweets; Satsuki Hanabusa, adept at candied flowers; and Makoto Kashino, a master chocolatier. As Ichigo navigates this competitive environment, she and the Sweets Princes, each guided by their own "Sweets Spirit" fairies, work toward their individual goals in the world of desserts.
In this installment
Upon returning from a two-year culinary program in Paris, Ichigo Amano discovers that Team Ichigo has disbanded, as the Sweets Princes have each gone their separate ways to pursue their own dreams. Now in her first year of high school, Ichigo is given a new project by Henri Lucas, who assembles a team consisting of herself, Makoto Kashino, and new members Lemon Yamagishi and Johnny McBeal, forming a fresh version of Team Ichigo. As they work together, Ichigo and Makoto grow closer, but Johnny’s romantic feelings for Ichigo and Miya Koshiro’s persistent attempts to win over Makoto create complications that make the path to romance less straightforward. Despite these challenges, Ichigo’s experiences at St. Marie Academy bring her closer to her dream of opening her own pâtisserie, though she realizes that achieving this goal will require more than just exceptional pastry-making skills.
