Yoshinaga feels that these stories are too explicit for the demographic, and Akiko Mizoguchi points out that they are in the genre and it would be 'unheard of' for these stories to be published by another publisher, despite their popularity in the dōjinshi world. The existence of these stories has never been announced in Wings or in the books collecting Antique Bakery. There were seven available as of August 2003, increasing to fourteen dōjinshi as of 2011.

There is the notable addition of Itsuki Momoko, a female sports journalist who appears in the first episode of the series.Differences between manga and TV series. The character of Momoko never appears as she does in the manga like she does in the series. Momoko, in effect, provides a sort of cushion for Ono's heterosexual development. Instead of being openly gay, Ono is a straight man who merely has trouble dealing with women because he was burned by a bad relationship in the past.

In the manga, Ono and Chikage developed a relationship (and, indeed, shared a near-kiss or two) that came close but was never consummated. In the series, the dynamic between Ono and Chikage is reduced to one scene where Ono gives Chikage a look of supposed seduction. During a particularly funny scene, Eiji tries to teach the Awkward Kid how to kiss by using Ono as the model of the 'girl'—the camera angle turns away to Tachibana's horrified expression as he walks in on the three of them, and the audience never really knows whether or not Eiji and Ono have kissed.Korean live-action movie.
