Megumi Iida (飯田 恵 Iida Megumi) is a supporting character in the Ammama to Inazuma manga, the ex-wife of Muneo Iida, and the mother of Kotori Iida. She is known as a famous celebrity chef, as well as the owner of the restaurant "Megumi."
Appearance[]
Megumi is a beautiful young woman with hip length, wavy dark brown hair and green eyes.
When heading off to work, she's typically seen wearing a business suit and pink lipstick. But when filming her cooking shows on live TV, she frequently sports different kinds of high school uniforms which embarrasses her daughter greatly.
When she was younger, it is worth noting that she had short hair.
Personality[]
Megumi has a cheerful and laid-back personality. However, she is also a hardworking woman with a tight and unpredictable schedule who often goes to work early in the morning and returns home late at night.
Despite her laid-back nature, Kotori has mentioned that her mother was strict when it came to eating food and is the main reason, she isn’t a picky eater. She is very good with children as shown with her interaction with Tsumugi.
History[]
She used to run the restaurant "Megumi" full-time but was offered a job as a chef on TV and now only opens the store on weekends. She was married to Muneo, but divorced him when Kotori was in elementary school.
She allows Mr. Inuzuka and Tsumugi to use the restaurant’s kitchen during the weekday as she is glad Kotori won’t have to eat alone.
Relationships[]
Kotori Iida[]
While she has a close relationship with her daughter, she often stands her up because of her busy schedule. Because of this, she is happy that Mr. Inuzuka and Tsumugi have started cooking at the restaurant as she feels it makes the atmosphere livelier and keeps Kotori from being too lonely.
Muneo Iida[]
Muneo is her ex-husband. They divorced when Kotori was very young. However, she kept her ex-husband’s surname after the divorce.
Yagi Yuusuke[]
During the okonomiyaki chapter, Yagi dresses smartly upon hearing that she will be joining them and wants to get her business card (probably due to the fact that she is a celebrity chef).
Trivia[]
- The name Megumi (恵) means "favor, benefit."
