Yu's worried about whether Ms. Koizumi might have a boyfriend . . . but as usual, the only thing Ms. Koizumi's worried about is missing all the tastes to try in ramen! How about butter ramen with a sweet pepper accent, from Japan's dairy region in Hokkaido? Chashumen-stewed and smoky pork belly ramen? Fukuoka's famous red spicy miso akamaru ramen? Do you have the special fork for eating ramen? Know the German style of slurping noodles? Better save room for more-because this is only a few pages in the delicious volume two!

Ms. Koizumi has taken planes and trains in search of noodles . . . but never before a mountain pilgrimage, as she ascends the granite slopes of Mt. Tsukuba in search of the ramen restaurant at the summit! And that's only her first culinary adventure in the tasty volume three, as she guards the secret of her beauty from the jealous Misa (could it be the backfat in her broth?), dodges pick-up artists in Osaka, and meets a mysterious older woman who reminds her strangely of a certain obsessive classmate . . . !
