OVA
Description
Miss China operates a tea house and inn in a Western setting, likely England, indicated by cultural elements like kidney pie and rolling hills. A Chinese immigrant without specified origins, she manages her boarding house while frequently interacting with her tenant, inventor Dr. Breckenridge, and his assistant, Jim Floyd. Her persistent attempts to collect overdue rent from the doctor contrast with his extravagant, financially draining scientific projects.
Romantic feelings for Jim Floyd drive significant aspects of her character arc. She displays jealousy and emotional vulnerability regarding his interactions with other women, such as a local florist, and actively seeks his attention—preparing for a moonlit date being one example. Her personality merges assertiveness and pragmatism with softer emotions, often manifesting tsundere-like behavior: outwardly stern or combative toward Jim or the professor yet privately caring and hopeful about their relationships.
Skilled in martial arts, she employs this expertise practically within the narrative. In *Miss China's Ring*, her physical intervention resolves a crisis involving a malfunctioning invention and the moon. The *Scientific Boys Club* OVA episode "Shrinking of Miss China" depicts her reduced size due to experimentation, requiring assistance to return to normal.
Her visual identity features detailed cheongsam dresses embroidered with motifs like roses or stars. Character designs consistently include a prominent nose. Economically, her tea house sustains a stable livelihood, contrasting Dr. Breckenridge and Jim’s financial instability from unsuccessful inventions.
Involvement in the scientists’ experiments leads to extraordinary outcomes, such as temporarily destroying the moon to form a planetary ring. These events lack explored large-scale consequences, with local reactions ranging from indifference to deliberate avoidance of acknowledging the impossible. Background art frequently emphasizes her emotional states or daily life settings, reinforcing her environmental connection.
