Minami shimada

Minami Shimada (島田 美波 Shimada Minami) is one of the main protagnist in "Baka to Test Shoukanjuu" who is a 2nd year high school student at Fumizuki Academy. After living in Germany for most of her life, she returned to Japan and was placed into Class F, although, based on her academic ability, she could have been placed into other, better classes. However, because she has spent most of her life in Germany, the language barrier has made it difficult for her to excel in school since her grasp in writing kanji is still lacking. The one subject she does well in is mathematics, because of the lack of kanji required. She is, however, weak in other subjects because she cannot read or write in kanji very well.Minami initially appears outspoken but she is actually a shy and kind girl, while being self-conscious of her appearance. She is a deretsun with a too much tsundere traits, which is the reverse counterpart to a tsundere; being sweet and kind by default, but has a rough and irritable side when she gets annoyed by someone she either cares about, or being teased for having a crush. It should be noted that his attitude towards Akihisa is less hostile than at the beginning. She is very stingy and sensitive on the topic of her flat chest and is prone to being physically violent towards Akihisa whenever he makes a remark about her physique by applying several wrestling moves (i.e. the Figure Four Lock) on him as retaliation. It goes to an extreme when Miharu remarks on how Akihisa treats her like a guy, which brings Minami to tears and running out of the classroom upon the words used. However, when she learns that Akihisa finds these traits of hers to be attractive, she falls deeper in love with him and is no longer angry over how he treats her. When Minami first attended, she exhibited difficulty in breaking through the language barrier due to being a foreign exchange student. It gets worse when she repeats an insult that Miharu used on two boys earlier to a group of students, unintentionally offending them and leaving a bad first impression. She even gets angry with Akihisa due to him speaking a completely different language that was not German and believing that he was mocking her. Eventually, she does learn how to speak Japanese, but she has not improved in understanding kanji, which plays a major factor in her being assigned to Class F. It is shown that she is an incredibly intelligent student, but her lack of understanding kanji is the reason behind her low scores. Nonetheless, she is a friendly and caring person who is attracted to Akihisa. She is often seen forcing him on dates and even physically assaulting him whenever she sees or believes that he is with another woman. After learning that Akihisa feels comfortable around her and doesn't need to change his attitude, she grows madly in love with him and even goes as far as to kiss him.
