OVA
Description
Megumi Mikihara, written as 美樹原愛 in Japanese, is shy and introverted with a pronounced fear of speaking to boys. She often appears lost in her own world and blends into the school environment, though she maintains friendships with other female students. Her closest friend, Shiori Fujisaki, frequently acts as an intermediary to introduce Megumi to the male protagonist due to Megumi's nervousness around males.
She owns a Yorkshire Terrier named Muku, reflecting her deep affection for animals. Her hobbies include playing with pets and collecting stuffed animals. Megumi dislikes horror movies but enjoys action films and new music genres. Academically, she possesses broad knowledge about flora and fauna, particularly animals, making her proficient in related subjects during quizzes.
Meeting Megumi typically occurs through random chance during school events like the Christmas Party or Valentine's Day, where Shiori may introduce her if the protagonist maintains a good relationship with Shiori. Alternatively, high academic and appearance stats can trigger a direct introduction. She is unavailable in the first year, appearing from the second year onward.
Key date events highlight her personality:
- At the spring amusement park, she is nearly "kidnapped" during a stage show, requiring protagonist intervention. She later worries about being mistaken for a child but receives reassurance about her cuteness.
- In summer during high affection (Tokimeki State), she introduces Muku; the dog bites the protagonist out of jealousy.
- During a fall zoo visit, she becomes engrossed watching monkeys, ignoring the protagonist's attempts to redirect her.
- While winter skating, she falls and lands against the protagonist's chest, hesitating to stand independently.
A special umbrella-sharing event occurs after school during rain. With sufficient affection, she walks home with the protagonist under one umbrella; otherwise, she borrows the umbrella and returns it the next day due to embarrassment.
Her ending requires meeting her by the second-year Christmas party at the latest, as third-year introductions leave insufficient time to raise affection. Maintaining good relations with Shiori remains crucial. Mandatory stats for a successful graduation confession are: Culture (50+), Logic (100+), Art (100+), Fitness (100+), Insight (100+), Looks (100+), Spirit (70+), and Stress under 30.
In spin-off media like *Tokimeki no Houkago*, Megumi is a selectable quiz partner with expertise in flora and fauna topics. She participates in events and can achieve an ending with the protagonist, including an alternate version featuring a different hairstyle.
Trivia notes: Her name "Megumi" (愛) means "love, affection"; "Mikihara" combines "beautiful" (美), "tree" (樹), and "field, plain" (原). Birthday gifts include a stuffed kitten in the second year and rabbit gloves in the third year. Post-graduation, she plans to attend a second-tier company.
