Tsumiki Miniwa

Tsumiki Miniwa is the main protagonist from the Acchi Kocchi anime and manga.

Tsumiki is a student at the Nekoge Prefectural High School, along with Io Otonashi, Mayoi Katase, Hime Haruno and Sakaki Inui.

Appearance
Tsumiki is a petite 14-year-old. She has fair skin, long, purple/indigo hair with some blue patches on it, and sleepy purple eyes.

Tsumiki has bangs, hair covering her ears, and a large swirl on top of her head. She forms cat ears time to time, especially when she sees her crush, Io.

Personality
She is aggressive to the point of violence towards acts of teasing. This is exemplified when the teasing is about Tsumiki and Io's relationship and interactions. She often tries to hide her feelings and comes off as distant, and rarely smiles, compared to the rest of the cast. She cares for her friends, however, as it is shown where she forgets her chocolates, but tells Hime to give hers anyways, since Hime put in the effort.

Tsumiki likes fortunes but does not put too much faith in them, even though she acts on them. She loves cute things and stuffed animals, which is shown in both the first episode (This place ⇔ That place) and the eighth episode (Summer Homework ⇔ Summer Festival).

Tsumiki is often short-tempered towards Mayoi, who constantly teases her about her feelings for Io. When Io gets confused about her advances and makes her feel embarrassed, she bites him on the head, among other things. Tsumiki is much more patient with Hime, as the worst seen outlash towards her is shouting or squishing her face.

She is much more of a kuudere in the manga, where she often strikes Mayoi over mild teasings and seems to bite Io's head a lot more than she does in the anime.

Trivia

 * In both anime and manga publications of the series, Tsumiki's ahoge disappears when her cat ears come up. During the entire anime, she is pictured with either the ahoge or the cat ears. However, in the manga, it is not always present.


 * Tsumiki displays an unusual level of strength for her size, often demonstrated at Mayoi's expense. She also seems to have some mysterious powers. However, this is never acknowledged in the anime. Her odd magical powers are never acknowledged either. This is most likely due to them being considered gags.


 * She is shown to be a good cook and a smart student, placing first in class ranks in terms of academics.


 * She makes cat noises when she flusters, fitting into the series' cat theme.
 * Tsumiki is left-handed.
 * Tsumiki is often compared to Konata Izumi from the Lucky Star series, due to the shared traits of long hair and "flat," or disinterested eye designs.
