revealed
that a television anime adaptation of
Natsumi Matsumoto
's
Yumeiro Patissiere
(
Dream-Colored Pastry Chef
)
sh?jo
baking manga has been green-lit for an October premiere. The story centers on a 14-year-old girl named Ichigo Amano who wants to be a
patissiere
(female pastry chef), but she is stymied by her own clumsiness. One day, she enrolls in St. Mary Academy, a culinary school for sweets, and meets a "spirit of sweets."

debuted
in
Shueisha
's
Ribon
magazine last September, and two compiled book volumes have been published.
Konami
has been
producing
collectible Sweets Deco Cards and My Sweets Cards for the story since last fall. Matsumoto previously created the
St. Dragon Girl
supernatural adventure manga, and
Viz Media
is
publishing
the third volume of
St. Dragon Girl
in North America this month.
