Description
Flat-kun, also known as Flat, is a character who appears in the Onegai My Melody anime series, specifically in its second season, Onegai My Melody - Kuru Kuru Shuffle. He originates from Mari Land, the magical world where My Melody and other Sanrio characters live. Within this setting, Flat is established as My Melody’s best friend.
Physically, Flat is a small blue mouse characterized by his notably large yellow ears and a yellow nose. A distinctive feature is the ribbon tied around his tail, which can be orange or pink. His personality is depicted as gentle and kind, though he is also notably shy. Despite this shyness, he possesses a calm demeanor and is known for his logical thinking and intelligence, often acting as a supportive and caring companion.
While Flat is a resident of Mari Land, his role in Kuru Kuru Shuffle is tied to the human world. He becomes the dream partner of a human boy named Kakeru Kogure. In this capacity, his primary function is to support the main protagonists, My Melody and the human girl Uta Yumeno, in their mission to stop the antagonist Kuromi from collecting dark musical notes. The group works to prevent the resurrection of the Spirit of Dark Power, which would threaten both the human world and Mari Land.
Flat’s most significant relationship is undeniably with My Melody. As her best friend, he is the closest among all her animal companions. The anime hints that his feelings for her may extend beyond simple friendship. There are several indications that Flat may have a crush on My Melody, such as instances where he blushes after she hugs him. His affection is further demonstrated in a specific episode where he gathers the courage to ask her on a date, a request she agrees to after an initial moment of surprise. Beyond his bond with My Melody, Flat also shares a significant connection with Kakeru, his human partner. In this role, Flat utilizes his good social skills, particularly when interacting with girls, to offer Kakeru advice on how to approach and communicate with Uta, for whom Kakeru has feelings.
In terms of development and abilities, Flat is frequently depicted as being involved in My Melody’s magical activities. When Kuromi casts a curse or creates trouble with her dark magic, My Melody often solves the problem by casting a spell directly on Flat to help deal with the situation. This demonstrates his role as a trusted and reliable assistant. Furthermore, Flat serves a practical purpose for travel. After My Melody's flying umbrella was stolen, she began sharing Flat's umbrella to move between locations. This small detail highlights his resourcefulness and his constant readiness to support his friends.
