Description
Abiru Kobushi attends class 2-He. Her appearance is defined by numerous bandages covering her body, including a taped eye patch over her left eye. She has black shoulder-length hair often in braids and a pale complexion. Her eyes are heterochromatic: her visible right eye is brown, while the bandaged left eye, the result of a corneal transplant, possesses the unique ability to see the license plate number of the vehicle that struck the donor. The extent of her bandages fluctuates across episodes and chapters, sometimes applied without actual injury. She exhibits unusually flexible hip joints, demonstrated in poses like the wariza stance, though she downplays this ability to focus on minor complaints.
Her personality presents as stoic and dry, characterized by blunt, emotionally flat speech often delivering unfiltered criticism. This contrasts sharply with an intense, core passion for animals, specifically their tails. Initial assumptions that her injuries stemmed from domestic violence were incorrect; she works at a zoo where provoking animals by pulling their tails causes her wounds. She owns a large collection of mounted animal tails at home, claiming they are fake to visitors, though their authenticity is unclear. Driven by her obsession, she kidnaps individuals like Mikoto Itoshiki and others possessing desirable "tails," typically releasing them later. She harbors a persistent desire for her teacher, Nozomu Itoshiki, to grow a tail, leading to ongoing disappointment when he does not.
Her story unfolds across multiple arcs. Early chapters reveal her tail fetish and the zoo-related origin of her injuries. Chapter 72 discloses the transplant origin of her left eye and its ability. Later chapters show her playing on a beach with Nozomu's Shadow Warrior (104) and aiding in locating a kidnapped Nozomu using her bandages (127). She kidnaps Mikoto as a "pet" (205) and later abducts multiple people for their "tails" (227). A significant moment occurs in chapter 290 when her facial bandages break, hinting at an undisclosed truth. Her backstory includes childhood naivete towards strangers and a lack of concern during encounters with unknown men. Her ambitions are to become a veterinarian and travel the world to pull the tails of every animal species, ranking her favorites as chipmunk (first), Bengal tiger (second), and green python (third). Chapter 300 clarifies the origin of her transplanted left eye, though specifics are not detailed. Following a detox in chapter 42, her injuries temporarily healed, fully revealing her transplanted eye without explicit mention of its origin at that point.
