Ichigin-san

Ichigin-san serves as the official guide of Yōseisha's enigmatic automated factory, appearing in the unmistakable form of a whole loaf of toast. Self-proclaimed master of all bread-related knowledge, this peculiar host leads the protagonist through the factory's strange corridors with composed authority. Beneath the mechanical tour-guide exterior, however, lies a startling truth: Ichigin-san is actually a freshly baked 'carrot mixed-juice bread' endowed with full consciousness and the ability to hold conversation. This delightfully bizarre revelation encapsulates the series' signature blend of dark humor and surrealist storytelling.
