It's an anime about a high school girl, known solely by her last name, Koizumi, who lives and breathes consuming endless amounts of ramen while infecting those around her with a light ramen fever as well.
The show advertises the vast variety and depth of ramen and works similar to mukbangs, stimulating the viewer's appetite and it works well as an accompaniment while eating by your lonesome.
The OST is catchy and the food is enticing, but the problem is Ozawa Yuu who's like a fly in that soup noodle dish.
Over time, the parasocial relationship Yuu has with Koizumi has reached a high that you can no longer ignore and feel concern over the ramen-loving girl's safety.
Despite Yuu saying in her mind that she adamantly wants to be Koizumi's friend, it often reaches perverse levels of wanting to see her skin and going as far as fantasizing about them both at a wedding venue. She seems dangerous enough to be a danger to her own family members and friends who have begun to take either an interest or gotten naturally close to her target. Often enough, you'd see her throwing dangerous stares at those who have gotten closer to her or may or may have not taken an interest in her as a person.
Not sure what the anime wanted to convey with this and if you'd count out the blue-haired psycho, it'd be an easygoing iyashi-kei foodie anime. Maybe there was a peak in parasocial behavior among teens?
Lol, IDK, it's weird and random to have Yuu go full cray cray like that.
In the beginning, you could maybe still laugh it off, but gradually, the editing wants you to take her craziness more seriously and the show ends with both doing their own thing, Koizumi being the ramen-loving blackhole and Yuu who's relentlessly and endlessly observing and harassing her and her friends expressing light concern over her obsession.
