Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san

On their way home from school one day, high school students Osawa Yu and Nakamura Misa happen to find a beautiful girl queuing in front of the popular ramen shop, Konjiki Hototogisu, in downtown Tokyo. She stands out at the end of an all-male queue. This girl is Koizumi-san, the much-talked about enigmatic student who recently transferred to their class. Koizumi-san does not speak to anyone even during break time and has a dreamy expression with her earplugs on. Misa, who is not good with her, ends up going home. But Osawa has a thing for beautiful girls and approaches Koizumi-san at the end of the queue. She starts a conversation with her. However, she only gets short answers in response. Despite being almost ignored by Koizumi-san, Osawa enters the shop together with her. She witnesses Koizumi-san’s complete change when the ramen is put in front of the two of them. The look of ecstasy that she shows after intently slurping the ramen, has Osawa completely enchanted. Koizumi-san actually loves ramen and is a ramen expert who will seek and try out delicious ramen with gusto every day.

A handsome ramen enthusiast appears as Koizumi-san’s rival, sparking an epic “ramen battle” to determine who possesses superior knowledge of delicious ramen. Koizumi-san, once a mysterious transfer student, has become renowned throughout the school for her unparalleled love of ramen. This draws the attention of a handsome classmate known as the “Ramen Prince” – Mitsukuni Naruto, who is equally passionate about ramen.

Their conflicting philosophies about ramen lead to heated arguments, ultimately culminating in a ramen battle to determine “whose ramen love runs deeper.” The story unfolds as this absurd yet intense ramen battle begins, with the ultimate question being: who will emerge victorious in this ridiculous but fierce competition to crown the supreme ramen enthusiast?

Misa’s ramen video has gone viral! Koizumi and the others soon get caught up in her rampage. And once again, a popular ramen shop appears! What does the ramen taste like from a long-established shop that has been loved by ramen fans for years? Koizumi finds a lesson in the taste.

The special will premiere on Fuji TV on April 5. As before, the special will highlight real ramen restaurants, such as Konjiki Hototogisu, Sumire, Chūka Soba Tomita Ramen, Nanden Kanden, Menya Musashi, Chūka Soba Aoba, and Tai-Sho Ken in East Ikebukuro.
