Kotori Iida

Kotori Iida is a high school classmate of Kouhei Inuzuka who often finds herself eating alone due to her mother's demanding schedule running their family eatery. Despite possessing an impressive passion for food and extensive culinary knowledge, a childhood accident left her with a deep-seated fear of knives, keeping her out of the kitchen. Everything changes when she crosses paths with Kouhei and his daughter — together, the trio begins gathering regularly at the family restaurant to cook and share meals, allowing Kotori to slowly overcome her inner struggles and forge a truly meaningful bond with them.
