Yakuzen Kusuri (薬 (やく) 膳 (ぜん) 楠 (くす) 莉 (り) , Yakuzen Kusuri^?) is a third year student at Ohananomitsu High School in Class 3-3, the President of the Chemistry Club, and Aijou Rentarou's fifth girlfriend. She loves to make drugs, always making them or using them in almost any situation; however, she tends not to realize the possible danger or consequences that these can have.

Appearance.

Kusuri Full Appearance

In her normal teenage form, Kusuri has turquoise eyes and long, wavy red hair she keeps in a ponytail. She wears glasses, has a slender build, a large bust, and a beauty mark on the left side of her bust.

However, due to a having consumed a drug that was supposed to make her immortal, she spends much of her time in an eight-year-old body. In this form, her body is smaller, her hair is shorter, and she does not need her glasses.

Personality

Kusuri is energetic and ingenuitive. She is capable of creating a drug for almost anything. She doesn't tend to be concerned about the dangers of the drugs she makes and will often happily force them upon others as guinea pig or take them herself without hesitation. Most of the time she ends her sentences with "-nanoda" ("yep, yep" in the official translation and dub), just like her family does although they do it with other words.

Abilities

Chemistry

She is highly proficient in chemistry, able to make drugs with various effects. Kusuri's drugs are even considered at the same level as Doraemon's. In Hahari's arc, Kusuri's drugs contribute a lot to the successfulness of the mission. However, sometimes her drugs bring a big trouble to Rentarou's family.

History

Yakuzen Kusuri is Aijou Rentarou's 5th girlfriend.

Rentarou first saw her in her teenage form but was unable to stop and meet her despite feeling the soulmate shock. They met properly when he later came to the classroom in search for her, but instead found her in her child form.

Kusuri attempted to make Rentarou drink a love drug, as she'd fallen in love with him at first sight but didn't believe he'd feel the same way. However, Rentarou forced himself to vomit up the concoction and confess his love without the influence of any drugs.

Etymology

• Kusuri (楠莉) is a homophone of the Japanese word for medicine or drug, kusuri (薬).
• Yakuzen (薬膳) literally translates to "medicinal cooking."

Trivia

• Kusuri has kissed and been kissed by Rentarou at least 11 times as of Chapter 107
  • In chapter 56, Rentarou, in a dream, kisses Kusuri for all of eternity.
• Kusuri talks in the third-person pronouns when addressing herself; instead, she used her name (only in certain context).
• Kusuri's birthday is on April 18th. This was declared Invention Day in Japan in 1954 to commemorate the first substantial patent law established in 1885.
