Antique bakery is a movie made after a succcesful manga and though it condensed quite a lot of plot it stays true to the original feeling and characters. It's not a romance, but there is a gay chef "of demonic charm" that is in love with the owner/manager and lots of pretty men that fall for him. There is love between the men as they grow to be close friends and rely on each other, but their relationship never progresses further (in this movie at least) The manga had some short "sequels" that are more explicit and explore the romance between them.
