Donburi Iinchou (Japanese Bowl Chairman / どんぶり委員長)

- Good. - Breakfast is ready, dear.

I'm coming, mother.

That was a delicious breakfast.

Have a great day.

I'm heading out.

I wake up at 6:30 a.m. and have breakfast at 7:00 a.m., and then I leave the house at 7:30 a.m..

I've never been late for school.

As the class president,

I have to set an example for everyone.

Filling up on soba while standing...

Isn't such a meal too

rushed and sad?

As the class president, I have to set an example for everyone,

even when it comes to food...

The scent of the broth is enough to make you drool... but I must not!

- Thanks for the meal. - Thank you for eating here.

- Yoshida-kun. - Oh, Class President.

- Eh? Yoshida-kun, did you just have breakfast here? - Oh, I did.

- A high schooler having breakfast at a noodle stand? - Class President, you want some, too?

- This place is delicious. - Huh? There's no way I would eat it, it's unsightly.

Unsightly?

That's right, standing in a cramped restaurant full of men,

slurping down soba for breakfast,

is nothing short of unsightly!

But, Class President... you look like you want to eat.

- Huh? Where did you get that idea? - Because, look.

- Eh? - You wiped off your drool, didn't you?

N...

NOooooooo!!!

EPISODE 1

A BOWL FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE!

INSTANT OYAKODON WITH AN EGG ON TOP

- Yes. Good morning. - Good morning.

It's about time for the school festival, but before that,

there's also the sports festival,

so each of you must decide your role and take an active part, okay?

Yes...

- May I? - G... Go ahead.

G... Go ahead...

As your class president, I'd like to say a few words.

This year, Batafu Gakuen will be celebrating its 70th anniversary.

This year's School Festival and Sports Festival will be

milestone events that will attract the attention of older graduates and our local community.

Class President is as perfect as ever.

That's a lot of work.

If you ever lose your way,

you can always come to me,

your class president.

I will be your guide, and lead you.

As class president,

I must set an example for everyone at all times.

Okay, well then, get ready for first period.

- Oh, Ota. Wake Yoshida up. - Yes.

There are classes that I'm not so good at.

P.E. and

Home Economics.

Sprinkle a little salt

and pepper on the skin side (fish).

A little...

3. Add oil...

Oil?

Teacher! I have a question.

- Teacher, she's out. - Eh?

I'm stumped...

What kind of oil do you use? And how much?

- A tablespoon? Or a teaspoon? - Just the right amount, no?

Right amount is a tad subjective, isn't it? Different amounts results in different outcomes.

Now, now, Class President. This is not like solving a mathematical equation.

Yeah, yeah. If it's delicious, then it's good.

And to make it taste good, the recipe has to be accurate!

- Scary... - It's not!

- EH! - Where did the Teacher go?

She went to look for Yoshida.

- Now that you mention it, I don't see him. - Yoshida-kun, cut class again, didn't he?

Cutting class... such a delinquent.

- Found you. - Jeez!

- Why are you here... - I spoke to Ota-kun.

- That guy... - Why did you skip cooking class?

Eh? No... I just thought I don't really need it.

You don't need it?

Because they don't have to teach me how to cook.

Don't reduce your options in life!

Huh?

If you stop learning when you don't need to, your life will be very limited.

Choose a life where you can make sautéed chicken and I promise

your future will be better for it.

- Here you go. - Eh?

Ingredients for the sautéed chicken that you didn't make in the cooking class

are in this cooler box that I borrowed from the baseball team, along with some ice packs.

So it's still fresh.

Bring it home and make it.

So annoying.

Eh? Eh? Wait a minute.

Hey... Hey! Wait a minute!

- The chicken meat. The chicken... - So stubborn!

Chicken! Chicken meat! Chicken!

Where did he go?

Happy

Happy

Welcome!

Ah.

No, I'm...

- I'm not a customer. - Ah, is that so?

Did a delinquent boy come in here?

- Delinquent? - Yes.

He skips class, buys and eats food, and ignores the orders of the class president.

He's a triple elite Yankee.

- Are you the delinquent? - Hey!

What the heck? You gotta hide me properly!

I never said anything about hiding you.

- That girl's been stalking me. - Stalking?

Outrageous!

I'm just here to give him the ingredients for the cooking class that Yoshida-kun skipped.

What, you skipped class?

- Give me a break, will you? Ouch! - Come on, this kid!

- Yoshida-kun's Mother! - Eh?

It's true that your son skipped class, and that's a bad thing,

but I think hitting him is a bad way to discipline him.

- She's not my mother. - Yes. - Eh?

This boy is not my son.

- So it doesn't matter how much I hit him, it's okay since it's not discipline. - Ouch! Ouch!

Young lady, you said something about ingredients earlier, didn't you?

Yes.

How many times have I told you to stop wasting food? Why do I have to keep telling you that?

I'm sorry.

Go on and take it.

- Chicken meat. - Just mind your own business...

- Mind your own business? - I'm gonna borrow the kitchen...

Okay.

Then I'll leave you to it.

Thank you.

You even carried that heavy cooler box for him.

No, as class president, it's only natural.

This sautéed chicken is not going to fill me up.

You see, his mother used to work here.

Yoshida-kun's mother?

But when he was still in elementary school,

she got sick and had to be hospitalized.

So, he would come here every day after school,

eat dinner, and go home.

So I guess you could say this is his dining table.

He's used to it.

You know, after his mother died...
