Story
See also: List of Fighting Spirit characters
Ippo Makunochi is a very shy high school student who never had the time to make friends because he was always busy helping his mother run their family-own fishing business. Because he kept to himself, a group of bullies led by Umezawa got into the habit of picking on him. On one particular day these bullies decided to give him a rather serious beating, but a middle-weight professional boxer who was passing by stopped the bullies and took the injured Ippo to the Kamogawa Gym (鴨川ボクシングジム Kamogawa Bokushingu Jimu?), owned by retired boxer Genji Kamogawa, to treat his wounds. After Ippo awoke to the sounds of boxers training, the boxer who saved him, Mamoru Takamura, tried to cheer Ippo up by letting him vent his frustrations on a sandbag. It was then that they had their first glimpse into Ippo's talent for boxing. After that incident, Ippo started his regular training and began his path in Japan's professional boxing, beginning with two spars against the talented Ichiro Miyata who is the same age as Ippo.
The story focuses heavily on character development, even during the matches something is learned about the fighters. Ippo and his friendly rivalry with Miyata is the main draw in the early part of the series. That later changes to Ippo's path towards the Japanese Featherweight Championship and eventually the world championship. Along the way we are given glimpses into the other side character's pasts, motivations, relationships to others and current boxing trials. A colorful cast of support characters and opponents as well as side stories concerning their path in the boxing world rounds out the series.

DVD
Geneon distributed the Fighting Spirit series in North America on 15 DVDs with 5 episodes per disc. The first DVD was released on July 6, 2004 and the fifteenth released on December 19, 2006.[7] The DVDs included English and Spanish language tracks, as well as the original Japanese. The movie, Champion Road, has also been released in North America on DVD by Geneon. Unfortunately, plans for the second OVA, Kimura vs Mashiba, are not in the works. Disc sales of the series did not break even. The first DVD was the best selling at ~5,000 units with each DVD afterwards selling ~1,000 units. [citation needed] Many fans blame the lack of marketing and the negative appeal that a sports anime has on the mainstream audience. [original research?] As Geneon USA closed its doors at the end of 2007, the US rights of the series are in question.
Video games
There have also been some video games based on the series, first released on the PlayStation, then later the PlayStation 2 and Game Boy Advance, and recently to Wii, as well. Two of the games have been released in North America and in PAL territories. There was some confusion regarding the Western title Victorious Boxers 2: Fighting Spirit prior to its Western release, as this is generally assumed to be the same game as Hajime no Ippo 2: Victorious Road, when actually it is the next title in the series, Hajime no Ippo - The Fighting! All Stars.[8] The Japanese released Victorious Road is unique amongst the titles as it includes the option to create your own boxer and control his training, diet, weight etc. The second Western title, Fighting Spirit, gives the player a choice of over 70 fighters for VS play. Each title has its own story mode which closely follows that of the manga, though obviously the storytelling is not of the same quality.
Recently, Ippo and Takamura have also appeared in the crossover video game Sunday VS Magazine: Shuuketsu! Choujou Daikessen! as playable characters.

Serial ini menceritakan tentang Shinichi Kudo, seorang detektif SMA, yang tubuhnya mengecil akibat sebuah racun.

Dalam versi bahasa Indonesia, Detektif Conan diterbitkan oleh Elex Media Komputindo yang telah menerbitkan sampai volume 56 sampai dengan Mei 2010.

Serial ini juga telah diterbitkan dalam bentuk OVA, Drama TV, spesial TV, 14 film animasi, beberapa permainan video, dan banyak barang yang berhubungan dengan Detektif Conan.

Shinichi Kudo, seorang detektif SMA berusia 17 tahun yang biasanya membantu polisi memecahkan kasus, diserang oleh 2 anggota sindikat misterius ketika mengawasi sebuah pemerasan. Dia kemudian diberi minum racun misterius yang baru selesai dikembangkan yang ditujukan untuk membunuhnya, namun karena sebuah efek samping yang jarang terjadi yang tidak diketahui anggota sindikat tersebut, racun tersebut mengakibatkan tubuhnya mengecil seperti bocah berusia tujuh tahun setelah mereka meninggalkannya.[2]
Untuk menyembukan identitasnya dan untuk menginvestigasi keadaan sindikat tersebut, yang selanjutnya dikenal dengan nama Organisasi berbaju Hitam atau Organisasi Hitam, dia menyamarkan namanya menjadi Conan Edogawa.[3] Untuk mencari jejak sindikat tersebut, dia tinggal bersama dengan teman sejak kecilnya yang bernama Ran Mouri, yang ayahnya, Kogoro Mouri, merupakan seorang detektif swasta.[3] Dia bersekolah di SD Teitan dan membentuk Grup Detektif Cilik dengan 3 teman sekelasnya; Ayumi Yoshida, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, dan Genta Kojima. [4] Meskipun tubuhnya mengecil, dia tetap memecahkan kasus, biasanya dengan meniru suara Kogoro Mouri dengan alat yang diciptakan oleh tetangganya, Prof. Agasa. Kogoro Mouri, seorang detektif yang agak bodoh, awalnya bingung pada kemampuan memecahkan kasusnya meningkat secara mendadak, tetapi tidak heran karena ia senang karena ketenarannya yang meningkat. Ran Mouri pernah beberapa kali mencurigai bahwa Conan adalah Shinichi, namun karena kecerdikkan Conan, maka Ran pun percaya bahwa Conan bukanlah Shinichi.
Selanjutnya dalam seri ini, tokoh utama lainnya, Ai Haibara, muncul. Dia adalah seorang mantan anggota Organisasi Hitam, yang memiliki nama sandi "Sherry", nama aslinya adalah Shiho Miyano, seorang ilmuan yang mengembangkan racun APTX 4869 yang membuat tubuh Shinichi mengecil.[5] Setelah kakaknya secara kejam dibunuh oleh anggota Organisasi Hitam, dia mencoba keluar dari organisasi itu namun dia ditangkap.[5] Dia mencoba bunuh diri dengan menelan pil APTX 4869, namun ternyata tubuhnya mengecil, dan dia berhasil kabur dari mereka.[5] Dia kemudian bersekolah di SD Teitan dengan nama samaran "Ai Haibara".[5] Dia mengetahui identitas asli Conan dan membantunya dalam perjuangan Conan untuk menjatuhkan Organisasi Hitam.[5]
Kemudian, Conan terlibat dengan FBI, dan mereka berhasil menangkap Kir, seorang anggota Organisasi Hitam. Kir kemudian diketahui merupakan seorang agen CIA yang menyamar, dan berjanju akan memberi informasi tentang Organisasi Hitam kepada FBI.[6] Mereka kemudian mengembalikan Kir ke organisasi tersebut. Kemudian, dia memeberitahukan kepada FBI bahwa di Organisasi Hitam ada seorang anggota baru bernama sandi Bourbon.[7]
Anggota Organisasi Hitam yang telah diketahui adalah Gin, Vodka, Vermouth, Pisco, Tequilla, Calvados, Chianti, Kir, Kusuda Rikumichi, Masami Hirota, Sherry, Bourbon, Rye, Hell Angel, serta Big Boss yang selalu ditampilkan secara kabur dan selalu disebut oleh Gin sebagai "orang itu" (あの方 Anokata?).

Skip-Beat ! "Anime From Japan"

Skip-Beat! (スキップ・ビート!, Sukippu Bīto!?) is a Japanese shōjo manga by Yoshiki Nakamura. It is the story of Kyoko Mogami (最上 キョーコ, Mogami Kyōko?) a 16-year-old girl who discovers that her childhood friend and romantic goal, Sho Fuwa, only keeps her around to act as a maid and earn his living expenses, as he works his way to become the top pop idol in Japan. Furious and heart broken, she vows to get revenge by beating him in show business. In Japan, the manga was first published in Hakusensha's shōjo manga magazine Hana to Yume in February 2002, while in the United States, it began publishing under Viz Media's Shojo Beat label in 2006. As of June 2008, nineteen volumes have been released in Japan, and as of May 2009, eighteen volumes have been released in the United States. In 2002, a drama CD adaptation was made and released by Marine Entertainment, and covers the first volume (chapters one to five) of the manga. An anime adaptation is produced by Hal Film Maker, and began airing October 5, 2008.[1] It ended airing with episode twenty-five on July 12, 2009.



Plot
Skip-Beat! follows the story of Kyoko Mogami, a sixteen year-old girl who loves her childhood friend, Sho Fuwa (Shotaro), but is betrayed by him. Having spent a lot of time at Shotaro's parents' inn she learned a great deal about hostelry and other such jobs. Shotaro, not wishing to take over his parents' inn, moves to Tokyo to pursue a career in music. Sho, as he is called by his fans, asks Kyoko to leave high school and her life in Kyoto Prefecture behind to help him. Upon arrival in Tokyo, Kyoko lives an unreasonably frugal life, spending nothing on herself and doing whatever she can for Sho, who eventually becomes ranked seventh in the top twenty most popular entertainers of Japan. One day, she overhears Shotaro complaining about her to his manager, saying that she is a boring and plain girl. He proceeds to sweet-talk and flirt with his manager, in stark contrast to the cold and demanding attitude he usually exhibits towards Kyoko. Kyoko doesn't shed many tears when she learns that Sho thinks she's only good for housekeeping. Instead, her "Pandora's box" opens and she vows vengeance on Sho. As she is carried away by security, Sho mockingly tells her that if she wants revenge, she had better become a bigger star than him. And so, Kyoko changes her appearance and enters the entertainment industry, facing many challenges along the way. Skip Beat! follows Kyoko's journey to climb the showbiz ladder as she meets interesting people, troublemakers and friends alike, with hopes of getting revenge on Shotaro, as well as regaining the sense of compassion that she had lost when her heart was broken by him. As Kyoko cultivates her acting and friendships, she soon discovers a sense of self totally separate from her initial plans for revenge.
Characters
Main article: List of Skip Beat! characters
Kyoko Mogami (最上 キョーコ 最上　京子?, Mogami Kyōko)
Voiced by: Miki Nagasawa (drama CD), Marina Inoue (anime)
Kyoko is a bright, intelligent girl bent on revenge against the boy that used her feelings of love and devotion for his own selfish gain. More vengeful than depressed, she swears to get even. Shōtaro, the one who used her, tells her that the only way to do this would be to beat him in show business. She changes her hair style and her attitude and begins the task of applying to Shō's rival company, L.M.E. While her audition stood out, the president of the company realized that she lacked the key component needed to become an idol: love, as without genuine love for this profession and for the audience, she could not succeed. However, despite her failure, she had such an interesting audition (she did katsura-muki as her talent portion) that Kyoko was given a second chance. Thus, L.M.E.'s "Love Me" section was founded. Lory made a deal with Kyoko that if she completed all the jobs given to her as a Love-Me employee to the client's satisfaction (determined by points stamped into her record book), by the end of a certain period of time, having accumulated enough points, she would be given a grand debut. Having entered show business, Kyoko found a genuine love for acting and a rare talent for performing a great range of emotions and characters. Her professionalism, raw talent and willingness to give her all for her act eventually earn her the respect of those around her, including Tsuruga Ren and Kotonami Kanae.
Ren Tsuruga (敦賀 蓮 Tsuruga Ren?)
Voiced by: Ken Narita (drama CD), Katsuyuki Konishi (anime)
Ren has an extremely kind and gentle persona. He takes his acting very seriously and expects professionalism from those around him. While he maintains a perfect public image, he has frequently shown his true face to Kyoko, failing to keep his polite facade in front of her. He was originally unhappy with Kyoko, and frequently found ways to annoy and tease her because of her impure reasons for joining show business. However, once he realized that her acting was more than a tool for revenge, he began to support her growth as a budding idol. Although at first in denial, he eventually came to terms with his love for Kyoko and grew as an actor as a result of the realization. He makes many attempts to express his love, but Kyoko is continuously blind to all romantic overtures. Ren was voted top male celebrity in Japan on the same poll ranking Shotaro seventh, causing the latter to have strong feelings of jealousy and rivalry towards him. Ren tends to become jealous whenever anything happens between Sho Fuwa and Kyoko due to their former relationship and now their frequent coincidental, and un-coincidental meetings, giving Sho multiple openings to cause him emotional distress. Despite the obvious obstruction of Sho's closeness to her, Ren has no intention of giving Kyoko over to him. Ren's hidden past is another obstruction to his romantic feelings towards Kyoko yet to be fully explored in the manga.



Shō Fuwa (不破 尚 Fuwa Shō?)
Voiced by: Nobutoshi Kanna (drama CD), Mamoru Miyano (anime)
His real name is Shōtarō (松太郎?). He keeps it a secret because he finds it very old-fashioned. He is an extremely egotistical, extremely talented music star. Shō had no qualms about asking Kyoko to give up her life in Kyoto to become his unpaid servant, fully cognizant of her misconceptions of the nature of their relationship. After Kyoko's transformation, he is shocked and soon discovers he had more feelings for her than he originally thought. He has disliked seeing Kyoko's tears since childhood, knows her preferences in food, and of her love for fairy tales and things romantic in nature (even buying her an ornate, whimsical bouquet of blossoms and pearls to her specific tastes). Shō holds a great animosity towards Ren because he is hailed as the coolest, number one guy in Show Biz. Shō declared that he'd steal all of Ren's fans and the title of "The Coolest Male Celebrity" from him. He does not like Ren's closeness to Kyoko and he challenges Ren as he makes it known that he would not willingly give up his place in Kyoko's heart as the one she thinks of the most.
Kanae Kotonami (琴南 奏江 Kotonami Kanae?)
Voiced by: Yukiko Tagami (drama CD), Risa Hayamizu (anime)
When introduced, Kotonami's character looks to be the villain to Kyoko's heroine, but Kanae is much more sympathetic than she first appears. Kanae wants desperately to be a top-rate actress and was at the same audition as Kyoko. Although she made it further than Kyoko, she also failed for lack of love. Thus, she became the second member of Love Me. Kyoko calls her Moko. After their tag-team effort in winning an audition for a commercial, despite obvious differences in their personalities, both girls recognize that they are in fact very similar, leading them to become friends. Although her attitude towards Kyoko may seem aloof at times, it is clear that she values their friendship, as she reluctantly shares her secret with Kyoko when she fears her unwillingness to share her troubles might drive Kyoko away.
Yukihito Yashiro (社 倖一 Yashiro Yukihito?)
Voiced by: Masahito Kawanago (anime)
He is Ren's manager. When first seen he is a serious character, later on he is used largely for comic relief. We get a better understanding of Ren’s subtle emotional shifts from Yashiro’s not-so-subtle reactions to Ren’s interactions with Kyoko. He fully supports a romantic relationship between the two and often needles Ren about his lack of progress in that area. He also tends to associate anything Ren says in relation to Kyoko and his feelings for her, even before Ren himself came to terms with them.
He must use latex gloves when handling electronics because any electronic device that he touches directly will soon be rendered useless. In particular, he has mentioned that a cell phone will die after about 10 seconds of direct exposure to his skin.
Lory Takarada (ローリィ宝田 Rōri Takarada?)
Voiced by: Banjo Ginga (drama CD), Kouji Ishii (anime)
Lory is the extravagantly flamboyant president of L.M.E and Maria's grandfather. He is one of the first people to recognize Kyoko's potential of being a great star, and created the "Love Me" section because of this. He seems genuinely concerned for Kyoko and wonders what could have happened in her past to cause her to lose the ability to love. He learns in Vol. 4 that Kyoko has never known her father and has a bad relationship with her mother but does not know the details. Later, when he learned that she dropped out of school he arranges for her to attend a high school that is specializes in accommodating students working in show business and their hectic schedules.
Takenori Sawara (椹 武憲 Sawara Takenori?)
Voiced by: Tomoyuki Kōno (drama CD), Kenji Hamada (anime)
He is a the head of L.M.E.'s talent section. Sawara was tormented by Kyoko into getting her into an audition (Kyoko originally auditioned under "Talent" rather than "Acting"). Despite the initial meeting, he is actually very supportive of Kyoko, even through her penchant for tripping her own idol career up.
Maria Takarada (宝田 マリア Takarada Maria?)
Voiced by: Hiromi Konno (anime)
Maria is the granddaughter of the president of L.M.E. and used to use her cute appearance to get people's sympathy. She did so before Kyoko's audition; however Kyoko recognized this, and called her out on it. While some people would be angry at Kyoko, Maria began to idolize her, and views her as an ultimate big sister. Maria also suffered from a huge guilt complex from her believing that she is the cause of her mother's death. As a result, Maria was unable to talk or even be around her father, since she thought that he hated her. Kyoko managed to make Maria understand that her father didn't hate her, or think that Maria caused her mother's death. Maria also loves to dabble with black magic (along with Kyoko's side) and has a large crush on Ren Tsuruga.



Shoko Aki (安芸 祥子 Aki Shōko?)
Voiced by: Rio Natsuki (anime)
Shoko Aki is Sho Fuwa's manager. Since he and Kyoko split he's been living at her place. Actually he was already living at her place most of the time even when he was still living with Kyoko, though the two of them, Kyoko and Shoko, get along rather well. Shoko Aki herself wanted to become an actress (Act.85), but decided she didn't have the talent for it. But she still wanted work that was connected with Show business, and got a good job as a manager. She also is aware of Sho's feelings for Kyoko, and tries to hint at him that he should confess his feelings to her.

No Bra Anime

No Bra tells the story of Masato Kataoka, a somewhat dimwitted high school student, whose childhood friend Yuki Nomura moves in with him one day. Because of Yuki's cute face, girlish clothing, and apparently feminine features, Masato is extremely happy with his new life—until Yuki's mother calls Masato, and tells him that Yuki is a boy. The story revolves around Masato's relationship with Yuki and his slowly disintegrating reluctance to develop romantic feelings for him.



Plot

Years before the start of No Bra, Masato Kataoka and Yuki Nomura were childhood friends, though they were later separated—with Masato soon forgetting anything about the friendship and Yuki still treasuring those memories. Masato grows to become a high school student enrolled in Meikyuu Private Academy, whereas Yuki moves from school to school, never quite fitting in because of his crossdressing and feminine features. One day, however, Yuki moves in with Masato and starts going to Meikyuu. Yuki soon becomes one of the most popular "girls" in the class, alongside Kaoru Oozora, whom Masato nurses a crush on. Meanwhile, Yuki continues to refuse all of Masato's pleas for him to act more manly, forcing Masato to stop any idea that Yuki and Masato live together, while also juggling his feelings for Yuki and Kaoru.
Characters
Masato Kataoka (片岡 正人 Kataoka Masato?)
Masato Kataoka is a freshman in Meikyuu Private Academy who lives by himself in Tokyo. He always wears Hawaiian shirts and is best friends with Hideki Nogami. Masato is often one to blend with the background, although he does stand up to what he deems unjust from time to time. Masato constantly daydreams about the opposite sex (or about Yuki with a female body), but also becomes confused when he sees Yuki as attractive, since he is biologically male. Masato and Yuki were also childhood friends, but Masato does not remember anything from that time period[1], much to Yuki's chagrin.
Yuki Nomura (野村 ユウキ Nomura Yūki?)
Yuki is Masato's childhood friend, though unlike Masato, Yuki remembers and treasures the friendship. Ever since Yuki and Masato parted ways in their childhood, Yuki has been growing out his hair; when Masato finally convinces him to cut it, Yuki obliges because it represents a "memento of [their] meeting again"[1]. Yuki is also a crossdresser, and this combined with his naturally feminine features causes everybody except Masato to believe Yuki is a girl; Masato's attempts to convince people otherwise usually result in them belittling Masato and insulting him.[2] Therefore, Yuki is extremely popular with the rest of the boys in his class, although Yuki states the only person he loves is Masato. His family is fully aware that he is a crossdresser, but whether or not they are aware that Yuki is bisexual is unknown.
Hideki Nogami (野上 秀樹 Nogami Hideki?)
Hideki is Masato's best friend. He is completely unaware that Yuki is male, and as such is constantly determined to make Masato fall in love with Yuki. Hideki is also very overweight, though he uses this trait to his advantage—at one point using his massive body as a human shield for Masato to carry away a drunken Yuki from would-be male admirers. Hideki is also nicknamed "Hidepon" in the manga[3].
Kaoru Oozora (大空 薫 Ōzora Kaoru?)
Kaoru is the most popular girl in Masato's class, having both athleticism and high grades[3]. Masato is enamored with her, although he constantly berates himself for being too out of her league. However, Masato has helped Kaoru on many occasions—some of which Masato does not even remember—and this causes Kaoru to harbor some feelings for Masato, as well. Noticing this, Hideki becomes angry on Yuki's behalf, and often tries to keep the two apart. In chapter 18, it turns out "Maa-kun" is actually Kaoru. She was 'Masato Kaoru' until her mother remarried and changed her name from 'Masato' to 'Oozura'.
Mariko Mizutani (水谷 麻理子 Mizutani Mariko?)
Mariko, also known as "Miss Mizutani" (水谷先生 Mizutani-sensei), is Masato, Yuki, Hideki, and Kaoru's homeroom teacher. She becomes suspicious when she discovers that Yuki and Masato have the same home address. She's quick to take advantage of their situation in order to keep herself from being fired and so she can pay her overdue loans, saying she doesn't have to pay rent while living with them. Mizutani is a rude, freeloading, drunkard. Extremely irresponsible, she has Yuki drink with her and spends all of her wages on expensive goods instead of paying off her loans. Caring only for her own wellbeing and comfort, she goes to extreme lengths to make her life easier even at the expense of others. She later offers Masato sexual experiences to continue living in his home.

Mysterious Girlfriend X

Mysterious Girlfriend X is the story of high school student Tsubaki Akira (椿明?) and his classmate, a strange scissors-wielding girl named Urabe Mikoto (卜部美琴?), who begin an unusual romance after he becomes addicted to her saliva.Contents

Plot

The story begins with Urabe Mikoto, a new transfer student, being introduced to Tsubaki Akira's class. She is assigned to a seat next to Tsubaki, who is designated by their homeroom adviser to be her guide.



Tsubaki and the rest of the class soon discover that Urabe is an unusual girl. She makes no attempt to be sociable with her new classmates - choosing instead to sleep at her desk during break times - and rebuffs the friendly advances of those who seek to get to know her better. These actions - and her breaking out in hysterical laughter in the middle of class on her first day at school - cause her to be labeled as a strange person and avoided by her classmates.

Leaving school late one afternoon, Tsubaki returns to the classroom for his bag and finds Urabe still asleep at her desk. Waking her up, he catches a glimpse of her pretty face (which is usually half-hidden by her bangs) before she leaves. Noticing some drool left by Urabe on her desk, he absentmindedly tastes it before realizing what he is doing, and hurries home in embarrassment.



That night, Tsubaki has a strange dream about himself and Urabe. A few days later, he falls ill and collapses at school. Five days later, with his fever showing no signs of breaking, Urabe visits him at his house and asks him whether he tasted the drool on her desk. Upon receiving an admission of guilt, she has him lick her saliva off her finger which, to Tsubaki's amazement, causes his illness to subside immediately. Urabe explains to him that he was suffering from "love sickness", and that he experienced withdrawal symptoms from not receiving her saliva since the day he first tasted it.

From the next day onward, Tsubaki finds Urabe waiting for him on his way home from school. They settle into a routine of him licking her saliva off her finger before they part ways in order to prevent a fresh onset of withdrawal symptoms. It is during one of these walks home that Tsubaki learns that Urabe keeps a pair of scissors tucked into her panties, and that she is very skilled in their use.

Tsubaki eventually realizes he has fallen in love with Urabe, and asks her to become his girlfriend. Urabe tells him he first has to prove uniquely his desire for them to become a couple, which Tsubaki does by using Urabe's scissors to destroy a photograph of a girl he previously had a crush on. Overjoyed at Tsubaki's unusual demonstration of love, Urabe accepts.



Over time, Tsubaki discovers that he and Urabe can "communicate" to each other their emotions and the physiological states of their bodies through their saliva, and that Urabe can also read his thoughts by tasting his saliva in turn. The rest of the manga chronicles significant milestones in the progress of the couple's relationship and the events leading up to them, and highlights the unique emotional and telepathic bonds they share.
Characters
Tsubaki Akira
The story's main character. Since he has tasted Urabe's drool the two have entered into a strange love relationship. He's reached the age where he's acquired some interest in the opposite sex, but his lack of experience and knowledge of Urabe and her feeling for him are a hindrance to Tsubaki, as he is unable to judge the pace of their relationship and make any progress in romancing Urabe. Tsubaki lives with his sister and father after the death of their mother. Oka has also dubbed him as the possessive type, as he got jealous when many guys where considering to ask Urabe out after her new hairstyle shows off her face. He has recently become a fan of the idol Imai Momoka, but only because she looks just like Urabe and sees her in place of Momoka.
There is also a list of things he wishes to do with Urabe but is stopped in fear of her using her panty scissors on him. Through a twist in events he got to see a small glimpse of her completely nude in Chapter 25, of which he denied when asked because from an earlier event he didn't want to embarrass her.
1. Call her by her first name (which he is unaware is that it is something she wants)
2. Have a more physical relationship with her (wants to hold her, kiss her and dreams about having sex with her)
3. Getting a picture of her smiling (which he seems to use Imai Momoka to substitute)
Urabe Mikoto
A transfer student who joins Tsubaki's class at the start of the manga. She is considered strange by her classmates because of her unwillingness to socialize with others and her habit of sleeping at her desk during break times. Unknown to most people, she has the ability to communicate telepathically and transfer the physical condition of her body through her saliva and, on at least one occasion, through her perspiration - as well as read others' thoughts and have the physical condition of their bodies transferred to her via their saliva. This ability is limited to only a couple people, the reasons for which are not known. She carries a pair of scissors with her at all times, and is very skilled in their use. She is also good at sports, and excels at running and swimming. Not much is known about Urabe's family at this time. Every time Urabe has had Tsubaki visit her in her apartment her parents have been out but it has been stated that her father owns a house by the sea, hinting that her parents might be divorced or separated. And after a certain incident in chapter 21, it appears she likes to have her left ear played with. She too has a possessive personality, getting really jealous when he looks at other girls, including girls in magazines (especially Imai Momoka who looks just like her) where she shreds them with her scissors. Though she always has a monotone expression, she has been seen reacting erratically if she accidentally injures Tsubaki, which suggests that her control over her emotions is starting to crack. She was later mistaken as Momoka by her manager, and taken by mistake. Also she doesn't prefer using any beauty products as when Tsubaki complimented her scent and asked if she was wearing any perfume, she answered "I don't use anything like that".
Oka Ayuko
A short (143 cm tall), bespectacled girl with a well-endowed chest and an impressive figure. She is the only person who knows that Tsubaki and Urabe are dating as she is interested in the unusual relationship between the couple, and wants to become friends with them. She inadvertently finds she has a saliva "bond" with Urabe, very similar to that of Tsubaki's. Oka's cooking is enjoyed by Urabe and the two have lunch together often at school. While Urabe has claimed she doesn't want to be friends, Oka has becomes Urabe's closest companion at school. She likes to tease Urabe, in a way able to see through her emotional wall and tell what Urabe would like Tsubaki to do for her, as well as constantly touch her to the point that Urabe describes Oka's reaction similar to that of a perverted old man. Her glasses have the tendency of fogging up when her heart beats fast enough.
Ueno Kouhei
A bespectacled friend and classmate of Tsubaki. He and Oka have been dating for about a year, but try to keep it a secret from their classmates. Only Tsubaki and Urabe (and later Hayakawa) are aware of their relationship. He often fondly recounts to Tsubaki his experiences with Oka; Tsubaki in turn gets romantic ideas to use on Urabe from Ueno's stories. He also seems to possess a possessive style as he won't take Oka to the beach because other guys will see her in a bikini and jealous when other guys talk to her.
Tsubaki Youko
Tsubaki's elder sister. She considers it her duty to raise her brother properly in place of their deceased mother, and refuses to consider getting married until he graduates and finds a job.[1] She spends her time housekeeping. Tsubaki's occasional strange behavior from the effects of Urabe's saliva sometimes makes Youko worry about her brother. Youko has met Urabe, but has not been told of the full extent of her relationship with Tsubaki. Urabe said she was only a classmate Tsubaki helps often at school, though some dialogue suggests she knows the truth.[2]
Minor characters
Hayakawa Aika
A beautiful, long-haired girl who was Tsubaki's classmate and first crush in middle school. She knew of his feelings for her, but never told him, and attended a different high school after graduation. Out of all of the cast she has a very possessive personality, faking a bruise to trick Tsubaki to pretend to be her boyfriend for a day and setting it up so Urabe will come to the festival during that time. However, after clearing up everything with her boyfriend they returned to being a couple again. Another note is that she and Tsubaki have similar quirks.
Ogata
A popular, good-looking classmate of Tsubaki and Urabe who is also a star player of the school soccer team. He is interested in Urabe, and tries to ask her out, but she turns him down because, unlike Tsubaki, his body has no reaction to her drool.[3]
Matsuzawa
An attractive, short-haired schoolmate of Tsubaki who is one grade below him. She and Tsubaki met through the school film club. She likes Tsubaki because they share unusual tastes in movies. Although Tsubaki in turn enjoys talking to her, he worries that the attention she gives him will make Urabe jealous.
Imai Momoka
A media idol who looks almost identical to Urabe, except that she has brown hair and much smaller breasts. She makes an appearance in Chapter 37, and seems to have much more in common with Urabe than one would expect, though more energetic. Like how Urabe uses scissors on people, she kicks, though she wears restraints, however both are located where their panties are. She sought out Urabe in hopes she will agree to her plan of switching between model and student, however Urabe completely turns her down. After accidentally knocking her out (and Urabe cutting off all of her clothing), she discovers the difference in their breast sizes, seeming to have a changed her mind after discovering this. After seeing Urabe and Tsubaki's bond, she goes with her promise and lets go of her plan to switch places, however not before stealing Urabe's uniform and going to make Tsubaki taste her drool.[dubious – discuss] It is revealed she wanted to become a "normal" girl due to an incident with a boy she had a crush on before she became famous. Then after being discovered and becoming famous, she finally gained up the courage to confess her feelings to him, but before they kissed he asked if he could tell his friends he was dating a famous girl. Realizing he only liked her because she was famous, she high kicked him in the head.
