Kokomi Teruhashi is a high school student celebrated as the most beautiful girl in her school, captivating peers and strangers alike with her striking appearance. Her mere presence routinely sparks spontaneous admiration, triggering involuntary exclamations of “offu” from observers. She carefully curates an aura of effortless perfection, projecting poise, benevolence, and humility in public. This cultivated persona stems from her conviction that she is divinely blessed, a “perfectly created being” destined to command universal adoration. Her family includes an older brother, Makoto Teruhashi, a monk whose looks rival her own but whose temperament veers into obsessive intensity. Raised in an environment prioritizing immaculate appearances, Kokomi learned early to equate self-worth with external validation, striving relentlessly to meet societal ideals of flawlessness. Beneath her angelic facade lies a shrewd, self-interested strategist who meticulously engineers scenarios to uphold her status or steer outcomes in her favor. A defining element of her narrative is her preoccupation with Kusuo Saiki, the series’ protagonist, whose apathy toward her beauty unsettles her self-assured worldview. Mistaking his indifference for bashfulness, she fixates on earning his affection, viewing his approval as the ultimate validation of her perfection. Their interactions expose glimpses of her insecurities, as Saiki’s psychic abilities pierce her carefully constructed image, revealing private thoughts that clash with her polished exterior. Story arcs explore the dissonance between Kokomi’s pristine reputation and her inner ambitions. She displays flashes of pettiness, rivalry, or irritation when her superiority is challenged, especially by Saiki’s indifference or the presence of rival peers. Though capable of authentic compassion—such as aiding classmates anonymously—these acts often serve her desire to fortify her idealized identity. Her role as a recurring figure centers on satirizing vanity and societal obsession with aesthetics. Dynamics with her brother and classmates underscore her compulsion to control perceptions, weaving humor through contrasts between her grandiose self-image and the mundane realities she navigates. Relationships and conflicts alike reinforce her ceaseless balancing act: preserving the illusion of innate perfection while masking the calculated effort beneath.
