Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill is an isekai anime that doesn’t focus on epic wars or saving the world. Instead, it wins people over with food, comfort, and surprisingly strong character chemistry. The heart of the show lies in its small but memorable main cast, each bringing something unique to the journey.
Here’s a look at the main characters and why they work so well together.
Mukouda Tsuyoshi: The Reluctant Hero
Mukouda Tsuyoshi is the main character, but he’s very different from most isekai heroes. He isn’t brave, overpowered, or chasing glory. He’s just a normal adult who wants to survive peacefully.
His special ability, called Online Supermarket, lets him buy real-world food and supplies in a fantasy world. While this skill sounds harmless at first, it becomes the reason everything else in the story works.
Mukouda’s personality is calm, cautious, and kind. He avoids danger whenever possible and prefers cooking a good meal over fighting monsters. This grounded attitude helps keep the show relaxed and relatable. Mukouda acts as the emotional anchor of the story, making the world feel cozy instead of stressful.
Without Mukouda’s common sense and warmth, the show would lose its comfort-focused charm.
Fel: The Overpowered Food Lover
Fel is a legendary Fenrir, a monster so strong that entire kingdoms fear him. In most anime, a creature like this would be a final boss. Here, he becomes a traveling companion because he wants good food.
Fel’s personality is proud, blunt, and slightly selfish. He knows he’s powerful and doesn’t pretend otherwise. However, his love for Mukouda’s cooking softens him, turning him into a surprisingly funny character.
Fel brings action and danger into the story, but never in a way that breaks the relaxed tone. His overwhelming strength ensures Mukouda is safe, which allows the show to focus more on food and exploration rather than constant tension.
Fel adds humor, spectacle, and balance to the group.
Sui: The Heart of the Party
Sui is a slime and easily the most adorable character in the series. At first, Sui is small, curious, and innocent. Over time, Sui grows stronger while keeping a childlike personality.
Sui is cheerful, polite, and always eager to help. Whether it’s cleaning, fighting, or experimenting with potions, Sui approaches everything with excitement.
What makes Sui important is emotional balance. While Fel can be intimidating and Mukouda can be stressed, Sui brings warmth and positivity. Sui also surprises viewers by becoming extremely capable, which adds depth without losing charm.
Sui represents growth and innocence in a world filled with monsters.
Ninrir: The Goddess with a Sweet Tooth
Ninrir is a goddess who forms a contract with Mukouda after discovering his cooking. Despite her divine status, she behaves like someone obsessed with desserts.
Her personality is proud yet playful. She expects worship and offerings but is easily distracted by sweets and snacks. This contrast between her godly role and childish cravings creates a lot of comedy.
Ninrir’s role adds world-building and humor. She connects Mukouda to the divine side of the world while reinforcing the anime’s main idea: food brings everyone together, even gods.
Why the Cast Works So Well
The main cast of Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill succeeds because every character supports the show’s relaxed tone. There are no unnecessary rivals or dramatic power struggles. Each character has a clear role, strong personality, and reason to be there.
Together, they turn a simple concept—cooking meals—into a warm, entertaining journey that feels comforting from start to finish.
This is why the anime stands out as one of the most enjoyable comfort isekai series in recent years.
