Volume 13 of the manga Bloom, arriving at nobi nobi! on November 12, gets an elaborate 'gourmet edition' collector's box themed around the series' baking motifs: a strawberry-cake-shaped box with a reversible alternate cover, an adult-size apron, a necklace inspired by one from the story, two flower-shaped cookie cutters and a stamp, a 48-page recipe notebook, and a gilded secret bookplate sealed in an envelope to be opened only after reading. It sells for 35 euros in a limited print run. The series is set between two rival schools — Chidori, a public school for troublemaking boys, and the prestigious all-girls Kikyo academy.
