OVA
Description
Mimi Usa attends Futatsubashi Elementary School, currently in class 4-1 after transferring from class 3-1. She shares a close, enduring friendship with Rin Kokonoe and Kuro Kagami, a bond formed in their first-grade year. Standing 148 cm tall and weighing 42 kg with measurements of B80-W68-H78, she possesses brown hair, brown eyes, and wears glasses. Despite being the tallest and most physically developed among her peers, she retains significant childhood innocence, often contrasting with her mature appearance.
Her personality is quiet, shy, and unassertive. This reserved nature initially led classmates to perceive her as aloof, causing social isolation until she connected with Rin and Kuro during a marginalized physical education class. Mimi exhibits notable naiveté regarding adult and sexual matters, frequently experiencing confusion or embarrassment on these topics. Rin and Kuro often shield her from inappropriate situations, including sexual harassment, while her teacher, Daisuke Aoki, actively protects her innocence.
Her family background contributes to her emotional fragility. Her previously supportive father moved away for work, removing a crucial emotional outlet. Her mother displays clear preference for Mimi's older brother, leading to neglect; this includes blaming Mimi for being approached by a molester and showing indifference to her distress. This neglect forced Mimi to navigate challenges alone, such as confronting verbal abuse from her former homeroom teacher, Nakamura, and purchasing her first bra without guidance, causing physical and social discomfort. The bullying by Nakamura resulted in her temporary withdrawal from school; she returned following Nakamura's resignation and Aoki's appointment.
Mimi struggles with self-identity, feeling discomfort about her intelligence, height, underdeveloped athletic abilities, and physical maturity, factors exacerbating her self-consciousness and susceptibility to teasing. Aoki becomes a trusted father figure, with Mimi relying on his moral support. He once posed as her brother to facilitate her participation in a confidence-building magazine photo shoot; the published photo remained unrecognized, even by Kuro.
Romantically, she developed feelings for Reiji Kokonoe, Rin's cousin, after he encouraged her to remain hopeful about finding understanding and love. She later confessed this crush to Rin, who surprisingly supported her. However, she observed Reiji's complex emotional attachment to Rin, raising concerns for her friend's well-being following an incident where she witnessed Rin in a vulnerable state.
In the OVA "Anata ga Watashi ni Kureta Mono," Mimi participates with Rin and Kuro in sneaking into the school infirmary to access Aoki's health records for birthday gift ideas. Discovered, they escape while Rin distracts Aoki. The trio visits a department store, enjoying distractions like arcade games and ice cream, alongside a lingerie shopping episode. Failing to find a suitable gift, they hold a sleepover at Rin's residence to create a handmade present.
Mimi exhibits perceptiveness regarding interpersonal dynamics, recognizing Kuro's unexpressed feelings for Rin and offering subtle support. Her journey involves gradual steps toward self-assurance, aided by Rin, Kuro, and Aoki's consistent protection and encouragement, though her emotional vulnerability and depression remain ongoing challenges.
