"Yakumo-san Wants to Feed You." is a mega-meal terrorism manga currently being serialized in Young Gangan. Yakumo-san, who loves to cook for others, is the one who feeds Yamato, a high school baseball player with a stomach of steel who lives in the next room. I would like to introduce the main character, Yakumo Shuuko, who loves to "feed"!
Who is Yakumo-san? Profile of "Yakumo Shuuko"
A 28-year-old widow who is good at all kinds of housework, especially cooking. She lost her husband, a university professor, several years ago and now lives alone. She is a beautiful woman with long hair and glasses and quite large breasts. She was originally a member of the literature department and is not very good at sports. Her hobby is "feeding," which is serving food to someone and observing how they do it, and after a certain incident, she started eating dinner every night with Yamato Shohei, who lives in the room next door.
How did Yakumo and Yamato meet?
Yakumo and Yamato met when Yakumo made too much rice balls and decided to share them on a whim. He swallows the rice ball that Yakumo shared with him in just a few seconds, and seeing that he has no time to pay attention to his diet during his intense training and is making do with convenience store bento boxes, he decides to treat him to dinner.
Yakumo Feeding
From then on, Yamato started having dinner at Yakumo's house every day. However, Yamato, a growing high school baseball player, has an incredible appetite, and he easily finishes a mega-sized portion that would be difficult for an ordinary person to finish. Watching Yamato eat is Yakumo's "hobby," and feeding Yamato seems to be her purpose in life.
Yakumo is full of gaps! Yakumo is sexy
At first glance, Yakumo is plain, but she has big breasts that turn everyone's heads, and she has been exuding sex appeal since her school days. However, she is hardly aware of this, and Nishihara Rui, who broke into Yakumo's apartment, is extremely wary of her, seeing her as a threat to her position, due to her cooking skills. Cute.
Yakumo-san hates G
Yakumo-san's hobby is cooking, but she hates that thing that appears in the kitchen, moving and flying around. Once it appears, she hates it so much that she asks Yamato for help without caring about her own appearance. She hates it so much that she hates even having her name mentioned. After Yamato defeats the G and feels relieved, she finally realizes that she is dressed in an embarrassing way and starts to panic. Cute.
Unconscious older sister
Yakumo, who is oblivious to her own charms, is not very wary of such things, and her unconscious sexiness makes Yamato excited. Yamato himself is a simpleton who is not very interested in anything other than baseball, but he can't help but react to Yakumo's sexiness.
Food terrorism warning! Introducing Yakumo's dinner!
Extra large hamburger steak with 2 fried eggs
In the first episode, Yakumo treated Yamato to a mega-sized hamburger steak with a fried egg. This is a classic menu that everyone loves, and it's extra-large in volume. It also came with a vegetable soup, so it was a well-balanced menu, but Yamato's appetite was so great that there wasn't enough rice. This caused Yakumo to buy a new rice cooker.
Large serving of braised pork
Yakumo, who got a big piece of pork belly for cheap, makes a lot of braised pork. It's a dish that you can eat many times over rice, but when he serves it to Yamato, he doesn't eat it all and leaves it. I worry that something bad has happened, but he says that it's a time-consuming dish and that he wants to save it for tomorrow. Braised pork shrinks quite a bit.
Stew poured over rice
The menu for one day was cream stew. Yakumo poured the stew over rice like curry as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Yamato was a little skeptical, but it was still delicious, so he finished it all and even had a second helping, as he usually does. However, when Yamato said, "I've never eaten something like that before, like curry," Yamato realized that stew over rice is not popular nationwide. Stew over rice is out of the question. But I like doria. Doria is delicious.
Studious? Yakumo-san sees the world of high school baseball
Yakumo-san starts studying about high school baseball after she starts cooking dinner for Yamato. Before that, she didn't even seem to understand much about baseball, but after interacting with Rui, she started to frequently attend games to cheer him on.
Yakumo watches over Yamato's growth
On game days, while bringing treats to Yamato, she also gives bento lunches to her teammates, enjoying the feeling of feeding them, and then goes to see Yamato's games, watching over his growth. Yakumo's presence also seems to play a major role in maintaining Yamato's motivation.
Homely Yakumo
Yakumo is a very methodical person who writes down detailed meal menus in a notebook, and is a studious person who tries to learn new things. She is good at not only cleaning and cooking but also sewing, and has a very caring side, making her a very homely older sister. You'll fall in love with her.
Widowed Yakumo, what is her ex-husband like?
Yakumo-san's maiden name is Ayase. Her ex-husband seems to have died a few years ago, and she currently lives alone. Her ex-husband was a professor at the university Yakumo attended, and the two first met when Yakumo, worried that he was always eating Calorie Mate alone, decided to feed him.
Like Yamato? Ex-husband
From his flashbacks, he doesn't seem to care much about anything other than his own interests. Despite that, he also seems to be a husband who eats more than most people. He's somewhat similar to Yamato, and Yakumo herself sometimes seems to feel the same way.
Yakumo Shuuko Summary
Yakumo, the main character of the heartwarming food-teasing manga "Yakumo-san Wants to Feed You," in which a busty widowed older sister feeds high school baseball players, is a motherly and incredibly cute character, and if it were to be made into an anime, we might see Yakumo in action one day. There are no plans for an anime adaptation yet, but I'm really looking forward to it!
