About

In Japan, omurice is always used as an opportunity to write messages in cafés and even at home. Usually the message or pictures are drawn with ketchup, often in the shape of hearts. In the maid café setting, omurice offers an opportunity to perform a cute “spell” as a table performance for the customers to make the omurice more delicious. Tohru calls upon the Shadow King to perform dark arts on the omurice, making it cursed with purple ketchup instead of red.
