Her debut in the serialized manga falls in 2020. VIZ’s December 13, 2020 chapter-4 announcement includes a panel showing Lu herself, supporting the year independently of the series launch. A bylined ciatr profile lists her as 18; her original youthful appearance is retained.
She is easygoing and cheerful, with meat-bun making as an everyday specialty. In danger she draws on tai chi. [Early-story spoilers] Her drunken-fist technique changes both her movement and mood; tears and laughter can interrupt the fight, giving her action scenes a comic rhythm.
[Early-story spoilers] A rival organization targets her family’s vault and kills her parents. Lu flees with its key, then meets Sakamoto and Shin during their shopping trip. Their help leads her to a job at Sakamoto Store and a new everyday life with the group.
She gets along with Hana but often bickers with her coworker Shin. Wutang, the Lu family’s adviser, is especially devoted to her, a relationship noted in the official character-poll entries. He is a separate character despite sharing her family name.
The selected anime look has red hair, a covered high bun with long braiding, plum eyes and a pink-and-white jacket over a gray hood and white geometric-print shirt. Keep it separate from her early manga outfit. The illustrations on this page are unofficial AI-generated fan art, not official artwork.
Netflix reported about 12 million platform-defined views for season 1 in the second half of 2025. That is series-level engagement, not Lu’s personal popularity rank. [Fan interpretation] Her cooking, squabbles and smiles can be read as small signs of the everyday life the store offers; this is not an author-confirmed theme.
