Becoming Interested in Psychic Powers
Mami Shinjou loves reading about the occult, especially psychic powers.
One day at school, she accidentally sees Hina using her psychic abilities.
Surprised and amazed, Mami quickly asks Hina to teach her how to use powers and becomes her “apprentice.”
Mami’s Psychic Training
She starts training hard to get psychic abilities, following anything Hina tells her.
But Hina never really teaches her anything because Mami is not truly psychic.
After a while, Mami gets tired and frustrated with the endless, pointless training.
To make things easier, Hina secretly uses her power to make it look like Mami is using psychic powers herself.
The Big Mistake
Mami becomes convinced that she now has real powers.
She is so excited that she wants to show off her abilities in front of her class.
However, nothing happens during her demonstration, and everyone is confused.
Feeling very embarrassed, Mami stays home for two days, hiding from her classmates.
Life at Home
Mami’s mother is very loving and sometimes a little over-the-top.
She feels sad that Mami is growing up and doesn’t cuddle with her as much anymore.
Her mom shows affection in small, funny ways, like writing messages on Mami's meals.
High School and the Occult Club
In the tenth manga volume, Mami gets into the same high school as Hina and ends up in her class.
She has a hard time making friends and often feels alone.
Trying to connect, she forms a Paranormal Phenomena Club and adds Hina, Kengo, and Takashi as “ghost members.”
But most of the time, club members quickly leave after school, so the club is not very active.
Mami is one of the funniest and most relatable characters in HINAMATSURI.
She has a loving mother who embarrasses her in cute ways.
Even though she does not have real psychic powers, she does not give up dreaming.
Mami Shinjou’s story is both funny and a little sad, making her a fan favorite in HINAMATSURI.
