Bloom is a comfortable, cozy slice of life that takes place mostly in a bakery. I really enjoyed the glimpses we got into the lives of these characters, and he conflict of Ari not disliking the baker life but also looking forward to something else. This lovely story is paired with beautiful art, and I adored the two-page spreads showing many things happening at once or mini baking montages.
