Mayumi Kurase

Description \ Bio

Mayumi Kurase is Sōma Yukihira's close friend and one of his former classmates from kindergarten to middle school. Mayumi has short, brown-colored hair that has bangs curved inwards and covering part of her cheeks, her eyes are light brown in color, a small bust, and a slim body figure. She has been seen mostly in a sailor fuku; dark blue when first introduced and white during the Karaage Wars arc. Her casual wear mostly consists of simple blouses. Mayumi is a shy and meek girl who usually lacks the self-confidence to stand up for or believe in herself. She was very easily intimidated by Kinu Nakamozu and felt overwhelmed by Ikumi's physical beauty. During her elementary school years, Mayumi developed a crush on her fellow classmate, Sōma Yukihira, who she thought was cool. Mayumi generally wants to do whatever she can to assist Sōma whenever he is around, but needs a friendly push from her friend Aki Koganei in order to initiate. At the end of every duel between Sōma and his father, Mayumi always tried to cheer up Sōma whenever he lost, but unfortunately became a victim of a multitude of Sōma's failed dishes as a result. Sōma puts a lot of trust in Mayumi, noting that Mayumi likes to take care of the little things like watering the school's flowers, and tasks her with making the Sumire Karaage Roll in his absence.
