Minamine

Minamine (南峰 Minamine) is reoccurring minor character in Ueno-San wa Bukiyou. She is the president of the tennis club.

Appearance
Minamine has long, brown hair done up in a ponytail. She is always seen wearing her visor over this. She has brown eyes.

Minamine mainly wears tennis attire, a white polo and black skort, but wears her school shoes when we see her inside.

Personality
Minamine has a more serious attitude than the other girls. Yomogi was brought to tears by her scolding, so she is harsh towards her club members. She is adverse to perverse topics, and she will freeze up when the others discuss them.

At first, Minamine hates boys. This stemmed from her misunderstanding of why the boys at school wanted to check out the tennis players. She opens up to Tanaka later that chapter, so this is short lived.

Translated
In Chapter 37, Minamine asks Ueno to make the Rear Skort. She runs out flustered when Tanaka says she is "cute."

She next appears in Chapter 49, where she mistakes U-E No. 13 for Ueno. She tries to ask about Tanaka's comment, but learns that Ueno is in love with Tanaka. She tries to apologize to Ueno in Chapter 51, but Ueno doesn't remember the interaction, as it wasn't her.

In Chapter 56 her bra is stolen by the Unreel Rod. She thinks it must be an alien abduction.

In Chapter 79 she thinks Ueno and Tanaka are tricking her into exposing herself with the 13EAT Dancer, and runs away.

In 80, she introduces the Rear Skort to the tennis team. It keeps reacting to someone's gaze (implied to be the reader's) and she takes the problem to Ueno, who agrees it's unsolvable. The Rear Skort is shelved.

Untranslated
In Chapter 86, Minamine helps test a camera Ueno invented. She keeps having pictures taken where it looks like Tanaka is groping her, but it turns out to have been Unogawa. She confronts Unogawa, and runs off, likely because she has also mistaken Unogawa for a boy.

Ueno
The two are friendly, since Ueno made her the skort. But some of the other presidents seem to know about Ueno's crush on Tanaka, while Minamine didn't know until Chapter 49. This likely means they aren't as close as the other presidents are.

Tanaka
After Tanaka calls Minamine "cute," it seems she has also developed somewhat of a crush on him. She asks U-E No. 13 about him, and feels bad for gloating to her. This crush seem to still be the case as of Chapter 79, where she seems self-conscious of Tanaka watching her.

Puns
