Mei Tachibana (橘 めい, Tachibana Mei) is the main female protagonist of the Sukitte Ii Na Yo series. She is a senior at Toumei High School and the girlfriend of Yamato Kurosawa.

Appearance[]

Mei is a young teenage girl with a petite figure who stands at a slightly below-average height and is easily one of the shortest characters in the series. She has short, brown hair with her bangs covering her forehead and big brown eyes which are noted to be quite sexy by Kakeru Hayakawa.

After she starts dating Yamato Kurosawa, upon his request, she grows out her hair until it reaches just slightly past her shoulders. She also gains a bit of weight, but loses it as the series progresses.

Mei is also quite interested in fashion, a fact that surprises Yamato on their first date when he notices her looking through shop windows. According to him, she is the type to follow the latest trends and styles. Whenever she goes out with Yamato or to run errands, she dresses in light-colored, but cute, outfits. At school, she wears the standard female uniform which consists of a white blouse with a blue ties underneath a light yellow sweater, a knee-length blue skirt and white school shoes. At the start of the series, Mei was often teased because of the fact that her skirt was so long, as opposed to the length most girls chose to wear.

Personality[]

Before meeting Yamato Kurosawa, Mei is seen to be a cold person. After meeting him, she appears to be shy but was willing to stand for others like Asami Oikawa when she was bullied by some girls.

Background[]

When Mei was much younger, she was quite friendly to her classmates and often tried to talk with them. However, despite her efforts, she was still isolated from the rest. When she commented about Misa's (Mei's classmate) birthday party, the girl lied saying that she called but no one was home.

When their teacher announced that the class' pet rabbit had died, the boys blamed the girls for it, saying that they were crowded around the rabbit before it died. Misa blamed Mei for it, saying that she forced the rabbit to eat some strange grass, even though Mei had nothing to do with it and it was really Misa's fault. Believing her, the teacher allowed everyone but Mei to leave and it is implied that she was punished for it. This incident caused Mei to believe that everyone was like that. She then started avoiding people and refused to get close to anyone, believing that she had no need for friends because she would only get hurt.

Relationships[]

Quotes[]

  • "People betray each other all the time and at school it's just a bunch of idiots who need someone to bully. I don't want to hang out with that kind of people. So I don't need friends." (To Yamato Kurosawa)
  • "They call your name when it suits them but when you call them they don't come."

Trivia[]

  • Her first name, Mei, is written in hiragana (めい), which has no special meaning.
  • Mei's surname Tachibana means "orange, tangerine" (橘).
