Context:

Doodles are based on Chapter 17 where they go to that inn with the hot springs for the company trip. In my mind Risuko joins the cast officially a few days right before. But she gets to join them and its great for her because she gets to know everyone!

She talks to the girls and joins in on saying what kind of guy is her type. "Someone kind and genuine."

Also she plays a game of ping pong with Uramichi. Having never really played before, except in high school, she's pretty determined to keep up with Uramichi. Almost too determined. She gives her first shot too much strength and sends the ball straight to Uramichi's face.

Thanks to Usahara she's terrified and convinced he'll go Gorilla Mode (which Usahara had convinced her totally existed) and meant Uramichi would be scary and mean for her mistake! Of course no such thing happens and Uramichi is actually a pretty good sport about the whole thing and insists he's completely fine (he's not but he's not mad at her about it).

And so Risuko learns Uramichi is actually pretty easygoing (debatable) and Usahara is often wrong (true).

Risuko is a mostly optimistic 25 year old woman who works as the newly introduced squirrel mascot known as Risuo on the program Together with Maman. She's a former brand ambassador and face of popular (mostly with adults) roasted nuts snacks and packages from the brand Tasty Time Nuts. She landed the job as a young naive teenager thanks to her agent but failed to garner any other success or role outside of it. As such she was unable to pay back her agent the dues she owed him per her contract. As she continued to fail to land roles, interest accumulated. At 21 she contested her contract in court and had it terminated, under the terms she'd pay the contract termination fee and the remaining balance owed, interest free and in installments. All residuals from her face and likeness on the roasted nuts snacks continue to go to her former agent, to help pay off her debt.
