葛饰应为生活在艺术几乎完全由男性主导的江户时代，尽管她是北斋之女，但仍作为屈指可数的女性画师活跃于画坛。她拥有连北斋都称赞“在美人画方面胜我一筹”的绘画天赋，同时性格火爆、刚强、烟不离手，是个豪爽洒脱的女性形象。                                                                      　　《喂，应为》的主人公阿荣是北斋的女儿、得力助手，展现了惊人的绘画天赋。她从父亲那里获得了“葛饰应为”这一画号，这个名字源于北斋常常喊她“喂，饭来！”“喂，笔来！”等日常呼唤，“应”代表回应，“为”则有作为、成就之意，是从师父传给弟子的名号，也是父亲传给女儿的象征。尽管她不会泡茶，也不擅长针线活，却以继承自父亲的绘画才华与胆识，在男性社会中闯出一条路。

　　The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to agree to this mad scheme, and refuses. Steinmetz then sets about manipulating Holst’s life, to pressure him into performing the operation. By then Steinmetz has become able to create a temporary human being, and in the hope that he can perhaps make his own creation perform the operation, he manifests a doppelganger of Dr. Holst. This double proceeds to take over Dr. Holst’s life, creating chaos for him professionally and personally. And then Dr. Holst starts fighting back. The ending has the dual virtue of being both unexpected and satisfying.
