The heartwarming gourmet manga "Yakumo-san Wants to Feed You" is serialized in Young Gangan. It is about the beautiful, busty widowed Yakumo-san who enjoys the pleasure of making dinner for hungry high school baseball players and feeding them. There are many unique characters in the manga. This time, we will introduce not only the main characters, but also all the characters that have appeared in the first 7 volumes of the manga!
Yakumo Shuuko, a widow whose hobby is feeding people
The protagonist of this work. A 28-year-old widow whose hobby is cooking and feeding people. She calls herself a "foodie," but after her husband passed away, she lost interest in cooking, which she loves. That's when she meets Yamato Shohei, a hungry high school baseball player who moves into the apartment next door. Seeing his appetite, which is so great that he gobbles down the food she makes on a whim in just a few seconds, and his lifestyle of eating convenience store bento, she begins to treat him to dinner.
A busty beauty with plenty of sex appeal
She is a busty beauty who wears glasses, but as she is formerly married, she is careless about her own charm, and even the simple-minded Yamato looks away from her unconscious sexiness that she sometimes shows. She is kind and meticulous, and cannot ignore people who are hungry and in trouble. Before her marriage, her maiden name was Ayase, and her husband was a university professor.
The always hungry pro prospect "Yamato Shohei"
The other protagonist of this work. He is a high school baseball player who came to school from outside the prefecture, and since meeting Yakumo, it has become a daily routine to eat dinner with him. He is a simple-minded person who is careless about his surroundings. He is the type who doesn't say much and you can't tell what he's thinking, but he is a genius type who is absorbed in achieving his set goal without paying attention to anything else.
High school baseball player attracting the attention of professional baseball players
The original is probably Shohei Otani of the Angels. He is a genius batter who has enough baseball sense to become a regular player at a strong school despite being a first-year student, and works harder than anyone else. In return, he is being taught strict by the coach and seniors, but it seems that his talent is blossoming smoothly. Also, it seems that seniors who did not become regular players sometimes harass him out of jealousy.
Rui Nishihara, a runaway baseball-crazy high school girl who has a crush on Yamato
A childhood friend of Yamato who has a crush on him. She is a beautiful girl who is acknowledged by everyone, but she has confessed to Yamato many times and been rejected. The reason she was rejected was because she was "busy with baseball." Rui never learns her lesson, but when she hears a rumor that Yamato goes to the house of the girl next door every night, she rushes to Yakumo's room. Yakumo is sexy, has big breasts, is a good cook, and has everything that Rui lacks, which puts Rui in a difficult position...
Baseball Crazy Louis
He is a baseball fanatic who sees Yamato's athletic talent, gets him interested in baseball, and gets him into a strong school in Tokyo by prostrating himself, so passionate about baseball that he goes to school there himself. His name comes from the bases, the first and second bases. He became a baseball fanatic due to his father's influence, and not only does he talk passionately about high school baseball, he also loves professional baseball. His favorite team is the Tokyo Yakult Swallows.
Steady sister "Yamato Sakura"
Yamato Shohei's younger sister, a fourth grade elementary school student with eyes that are just like her brother's. Unlike her brother, who looks like her father and is hard to read, Yamato Sakura is a reliable person like her mother. Although she seems to be obsessed with adult women, she quickly becomes friends with the kind and mature Yakumo-san. She is an elementary school student who is also proactive, such as coming alone to visit her brother who she has not heard from in a while.
Yakumo's best friend, Yuri Inagawa, is bold and free-spirited.
Yakumo's friend from her school days, she is a free-spirited and rough-and-tumble free spirit. Although she acts without thinking of the consequences, she is a successful career woman who works as an editor for a popular manga. She was an all-around athlete who was active in the track and field club in her school days, but even though she panicked and borrowed Yakumo's notes before a test, she is a very clever person who gets higher scores than Yakumo. She also loves alcohol.
Ritsuko Nagai, the straight man of the out-of-control high school girl
A black-haired girl who became friends with Nishihara Rui because they sat close to each other. She's a straight man character who points out the wrong things to Rui, who tends to get out of control, and is a girl who is popular with boys, but she's steadily making progress with Yamato's teammates in the baseball club, making Rui despair. She's a girl who seems like she'll be a winner no matter what. Her underwear is black.
The beautiful older sister of a runaway high school girl, "Nishihara Ran"
Rui's older sister is just as beautiful as her younger sister. Her name comes from "ran," which means to run. Rui won first place in the beauty pageant at the school festival, but her older sister won three times in a row and was inducted into the hall of fame. She seems to be attending a beauty school, and when she met Yakumo and the others at the night pool, she was coordinating their outfits. A kind older sister who cares for her younger sister.
Yamato Kyoka, a career woman and mother who makes a lot of money
Yamato Shohei and Sakura's mother, she is a career woman who travels around the world. She is a high-paid mother, and she likes Yakumo-san at first sight, who cooks meals for her son who has a monster appetite, and gifts him expensive brand-name items. She is a good mother who always cares about her children, and often gifts Yakumo-san expensive ingredients.
Yamato's teammate No. 1 "Daigo Kawai"
A teammate in the same year as Yamato. A lucky boy who was allowed to join the team because he happened to do well in the entrance test, and is currently a player on the third string. Of the three who often hang out together, he has the most normal high school student-like personality, and is also quite interested in girls. He approached Rui, but he only gave him effective advice about baseball and was ignored, but it seems that he liked him more instead. It seems that he had a bitter experience when he was used as a pinch hitter.
Yamato's teammate No. 2 "Maeda Kota"
A teammate from the same year as Yamato. A small boy with a cheerful personality, he is currently a player on the third team. He and Rui's friend Ritsuko are childhood friends and even now they have a relationship like siblings. Although they are not aware of each other as the opposite sex, it feels like it's only a matter of time.
Professor Yakumo, Yakumo's former husband
A university professor who Yakumo met when she was a university student. He is now deceased and appears in Yakumo's recollections. They first met when Yakumo was worried that he always had Calorie Mate for lunch, so she "fed" him. Like Yamato, he was a big eater and like Yamato, he was a type who didn't talk much, but he was a kind and generous person.
Character introduction summary
I have summarized the characters that have appeared in the comics up to volume 7. There are many attractive characters not only in the main characters but also in the characters surrounding them. In any case, the characters in this work are incredibly charming, so I'm excited to see what new characters will be introduced!
