Ryou Machiko

Ryou Machiko is a girl living on her own, with her parents residing abroad and her grandmother having passed away. Despite her remarkable cooking talent, the experience of eating alone day after day left her feeling that food had lost its joy. Everything changed when her second cousin Kirin began spending weekends with her—sharing home-cooked meals together rekindled Ryou's appreciation for the warmth and happiness that food can bring. Kind-natured and gracious by character, she also dedicates herself to pursuing her dream of gaining admission to a prestigious art high school.
