Acchi Kocchi

A Slice of Life Yonkoma manga that was adapted into an anime in April 2012.

Acchi Kocchi (Place to Place) centers around a group of five high schoolers: cute but quiet Tsumiki, ditzy Hime, Mad Scientist Mayoi, taciturn Io, and Sakaki.

Needs a Better Description.


 * Affectionate Gesture to the Head: Io has a habit of petting Tsumiki whenever her head gets in range. One manga chapter reveals that most of the time he isn't even aware he's doing it.
 * Badass Adorable / Cute Bruiser: Tsumiki
 * Berserk Button: Hime doesn't like being teased about her weight. Just ask Sakaki (onion squirted in eyes) and Mayoi (launched out of the cabin door).
 * Blinding Bangs: Mayoi
 * Butt Monkey: Mayoi, Sakaki and Kyouya
 * Iron Butt Monkey: Mayoi takes a frisbee to the neck and gets back up a few seconds later. Sakaki gets blasted by fireworks and shown later to be unharmed.
 * Cannot Spit It Out: Tsumiki towards Io.
 * Catgirl: Tsumiki often sprouts cat ears. Also Mayoi to a certain extent with her Cat Smile and -Nya.
 * Cat Smile: Mayoi's face has this perpetually.
 * Character Tics: Hime's nosebleeds and Io's pencil twirling.
 * Cloudcuckoolander: Sakaki's thought process is rather strange.
 * Clueless Chick Magnet: Io
 * Cute Clumsy Girl: Hime
 * Cute Kitten: Plenty of them. Tsumiki is very close to be one as well.
 * She actually meows in episode 7, when Io is blow drying her hair.
 * In episode 8, she has so much feline vibe that the goldfish are scared of her.
 * Deadpan Snarker: Tsumiki on occasions.
 * The Ditz: Hime.
 * Does Not Know Her Own Strength: Tsumiki can occasionally display a rather poor grasp on her superhuman strength (compared to the other characters).
 * Everyone Can See It: The main couple.
 * Festival Episode: Episode 8 part B.
 * First-Name Basis: Tsumiki to Io and vice versa. And without honorifics, at that!
 * Five-Man Band:
 * The Hero: Tsumiki
 * The Lancer: Mayoi
 * The Smart Guy: Io
 * The Big Guy: Sakaki
 * The Chick: Hime
 * Friend to All Living Things: Io, especially to cats.
 * In the Goldfish Scooping Game in episode 8, goldfish actually jump into Io's bowl of their own volition.
 * Furo Scene: Averted. In episode 7, Sakaki considers peeking at the girls bathing; lampshading it with his reasoning being it often happens in media. Io strongly advises against it.
 * Gadgeteer Genius: Mayoi
 * Gamer Chick: Tsumiki and Mayoi
 * Good Angel, Bad Angel: Tsumiki has these pop up (with Hime as her Angel and Mayoi as her Devil) when debating whether to go through Io's stuff.
 * Gratuitous English: Mayoi's Snowball Bazooka delivers status messages and prompts in English. Her speech pattern is full of it as well.
 * Hidden Buxom:
 * Honest Axe: Io tries this with Sakaki, but fails when the real one shows up.
 * I Ate What?: Io and Sakaki do not react well to learning that the chocolate Mayoi gave them contained.
 * Idiot Hair: Tsumiki and Io
 * Lap Pillow: Tsumiki provides one for a snoozing Io in episode 7.
 * Megane: Io. Specifically Stoic Spectacles.
 * Mundane Made Awesome: Air hockey, snowball fights, kick the can, volleyball. Pretty much any game they play.
 * Nosebleed: Hime in particular.
 * Tsumiki's also up there. Often, whenever Io does something, it becomes a double knock-out with the two girls face-down in a pool of their own blood.
 * Taken Up to Eleven at the end of episode 4 where Io causes all the girls in his classroom (sans Mayoi) to go down via nosebleed.
 * Oblivious to Love: Io.
 * Odango: Mayoi.
 * Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Don't let Tsumiki's height fool you.
 * The Quiet One: Tsumiki.
 * Rapunzel Hair: Tsumiki.
 * Red String of Fate: Io and Tsumiki in the ED. Symbolized by a red scarf.
 * School Festival: Episode 9.
 * Shout-Out:
 * Tsumiki pulled a parrying move against Xia-Li's Super Move, then finished it off with a Shun Goku Satsu Super Move.
 * This is also a shout-out to Daigo Umehara's comeback victory against Justin Wong in EVO 2004.
 * Mayoi's snowball launcher is also one, with its voice and her use of "Zenryoku zenkai!".
 * Quoted it again in Episode 5.
 * In Episode 5, Mayoi talks about 300 Spartans who dines in hell. (complete with their battlecry)
 * Sakaki refer to the frogs in the school pool as "Sergeants" during episode 6.
 * Slapstick Knows No Gender: Mayoi is always on the receiving end of Tsumiki's wrath.
 * Slice of Life
 * Super Strength: Tsumiki, in episode 3, is able to lift an enormous snowball, and throw it at least several feet into the air.
 * Tsundere: Tsumiki, which gets lampshaded when she utters a stereotypical line of the archetype.
 * When He Smiles: Io, and it's near deadly to Tsumiki and Hime.
 * Would Hit a Girl: Io, of all people, did this to Mayoi, when she got distracted by video games during their study session in Io's room. Io is shown to be clearly irked afterwards.
 * He also pinches Mayoi's cheeks in irritation when she admits that she was not able to bring her notes.
