"Yakumo-san Wants to Feed You" is a heartwarming gourmet manga about a big-breasted, bespectacled, widowed woman who feeds high school baseball players. In addition to the main characters Yakumo-san and Yamato, there are other unique characters. Among them, I would like to introduce Nishihara Rui, a beautiful girl with a particularly unique personality, who is in charge of Yakumo-san's comedy and reactions.
"Nishihara Rui" has always liked Yamato! But it's no good!
Yamato's childhood friend, blonde beauty Nishihara Rui, has had a crush on Yamato for a long time. However, she regularly confesses her feelings and gets rejected. The reason is that "I want to concentrate on baseball." Yamato, who is a simple-minded person with no interest in romance, has no interest in it at all. However, it is true that she is a beautiful girl, and she seems to be popular with everyone except Yamato.
Is she not interested in anything other than Yamato and baseball?
Such Rui also seems to have no interest in anything other than Yamato and baseball, and even when a senior confesses his love to her, she doesn't pay him any attention, and when Yamato's teammate approaches her, she is the first to ask about his batting average and gives him some effective advice. She seems to be just as uninspired as Yamato.
What made you fall in love with her?
Poor Rui has been in love with Yamato since she was a child, and even now she tries every approach to him without much effect, but the reason she fell in love with Yamato was because they played baseball together as children. When Rui lost a point due to an error and was in tears, he comforted her by saying, "I'll definitely score a point," and then easily got the point back. It seems like she's not going to give up no matter what happens.
I love baseball! "Nishihara Rui" is an avid baseball fan!
Due to his father's influence, he is an extremely enthusiastic baseball fan, and after seeing through Yamato's athletic talent, he led his interest towards baseball. He was originally planning to take the regular entrance exam for a local high school, but he got down on his knees and persuaded Yamato to go to a strong school in Tokyo, and he himself went to that high school. He is such a big baseball fan that he has incredible drive, but he also has a tendency to fantasize more than most people.
I love high school baseball
He has a great knowledge of high school baseball, and when he finds out information about the ace of the opposing team and passes it on to Yamato, and when he hears that Yakumo, his strongest enemy who threatens his position, has started to become interested in high school baseball, he speaks passionately about the greatness of high school baseball with sparkling eyes, making him a true baseball fanatic.
A passionate Swallows fan
His favorite team is the Tokyo Yakult Swallows, and he is such a fan that on his days off he goes to the Toda General Ground in Saitama to heckle the farm team's second-string players. When Yamada was hit by a pitch and had to miss a game, he lamented the Yakult hospital.
Horror! Yakult Hospital
The Tokyo Yakult Swallows are known as the "Ya-sen Hospital" because they have more injuries than other teams during the season. In one season, not only the first team but also the second team players suffered a series of injuries, and the opening of the second team's games was in jeopardy, and in some cases, it was even a reality. There are several reasons for this, but the main reason is said to be a "curse." When it is activated, the team's performance is terrible, but when it is not activated, it is a very strong team.
Yakumosan Hospital 2019
As of May 2019, the Tokyo Yakult Swallows had many players sent to the Yakult Hospital, with Sakaguchi, Ishiyama, Aoki, and Barre, as well as Yamada, being replaced midway through the game due to upper body injuries, and Suarez and Nishiura also being placed on the injured list. Although many players returned from the middle of the month, they were unable to escape the losing streak and were stuck in a quagmire. The Yakult Hospital and the eight-game losing streak against Yakult were not at all auspicious, and the team became a Twitter trend, and then lost 11 games in a row, and the record may continue to extend... This is a bad dream!
Nishihara Rui's position is threatened by the appearance of Yakumo-san
Self-proclaimed perfect beauty Rui never gives up even after being rejected by Yamato, but Yamato is not the type to be popular in the first place because of his personality, which makes it hard to understand what he is thinking. So Rui has no rivals. However, one day she hears a rumor that Yamato goes to the house of the girl next door every day.
Rui bursts in
Louis, who has an unnecessary drive, rushes into Yakumo's apartment to see if the rumor is true. At that time, Yakumo looks like a cleaning-loving older woman, so Louis feels relieved, but the situation changes when he finds out that she is actually a super beautiful woman, has a sexy body, and is a surprisingly good cook. Louis' position is immediately threatened.
This is a bad dream
Yakumo, who is supposed to be a perfect beautiful girl but has everything she lacks, becomes the biggest threat to Rui. And when she has a nightmare that is nothing but a bad dream for Rui, her sense of crisis is ignited and she struggles in a slightly wrong direction. However, it seems that the nightmare is about to become reality. Give up!
A beautiful girl going out of control! "Nishihara Rui" is in charge of reactions
Rui is not a self-proclaimed beauty pageant winner, but she is an ordinary beautiful girl, but her reactions are spectacular, and she is also the comedy character of this work. Her over-the-top, slightly out-of-control reactions invite laughter, and when it comes to baseball, she shows extreme initiative and knowledge, making her a comedic character.
He'll do some facial expressions too
Rui is prone to going off the rails and often makes gag-filled reactions, but he doesn't just do reaction acts, he also does facial expressions. When Rui finds out that his friend Nagai Ritsuko, who isn't very noticeable, is much more advanced than him, he makes a facial expression that makes it seem like the end of the world. It feels like his reaction skills are getting better with each episode.
Nishihara Rui Summary
Rui, the comedy-oriented Rui who loves Yamato and baseball so much that he goes off the rails and rushes ahead, is an important character in "Yakumo-san Wants to Feed You." Will the day come when Louis' hard work bears fruit? Or rather, will Louis be able to defeat Yakumo? The baseball-crazy setting is very appealing and he is a very dynamic character, so I hope he will continue to appear in the future! !
