Mei Mei

Mei Mei is a female giant panda with iconic black circles around her eyes, which are represented as sunglasses she wears on her head.

She usually wears a custom-made school uniform and likes to wear Chinese-style clothes in her free time.

When she feels excited or cocky, she puts her sunglasses on her face.

Mei Mei is lazy and does things at her own pace, since she was always spoiled by others before coming to Seton Academy.

She judges everything by this one rule: "Is it fun or not?"

She loves gossip and romance, always jumping in when something exciting happens.

Although she is used to being treated like a princess, she has no attitude or arrogance.

She also has a hidden masochistic side, enjoying situations where she is treated coldly or strictly.

She is kind to others, even to people who don’t go along with her, like Kurumi Nekomai and Manako Kagami.

When she is really emotional, she sometimes speaks Chinese.

Before Seton Academy, Mei Mei was raised in China with lots of love and care from her country, which made her spoiled and not good with manners.

She traveled all over the world as an animal idol before arriving at Seton Academy.

Her trip to Seton Academy was originally just a short visit as an exchange student, but she decided to stay longer after falling in love with the cooking club and her new friends.

Mei Mei has fans from every animal group at school who adore her.

After joining the cooking club, she becomes attached to the friends she makes there.

She starts to like Jin Mazama, not just because he scolds her but also as a person.

She looks up to Miyubi Shisho after seeing how strong-willed Miyubi is.

Mei Mei has great influence.

Her simple wishes often sway the entire school without her realizing it.

As a national idol, she's used to performing and being the center of attention.

Mei Mei feels embarrassed that her chest is much smaller than the other cooking club girls.

She gets really happy when falling from high places or when Jin says mean things, showing her masochistic side.

Arrival at Seton Academy

Mei Mei first appears in episode 23 as a transfer student from China.

She grabs everyone's attention because she is an idol, and everyone wants to be her friend.

She steals a panda dumpling from the cooking club, but is surprised when Jin refuses her order to make more.

She is shocked by someone rejecting her for the first time in her life.

Discovering New Feelings

Mei Mei keeps coming back to Jin, curious about why he is so cold to her.

She slowly realizes she enjoys the way Jin treats her, and her feelings start to change from interest to attraction.

Staying at Seton Academy

She was supposed to leave after a short while, but she can't forget her new cooking club friends and their honest way of treating her.

She throws a tantrum, and her exchange period gets extended so she can stay at the school longer.

Mei Mei becomes an official member of the cooking club.

Growing Closer to Others

She becomes more attached to Jin, not just because he doesn't spoil her, but also because she honestly likes him.

She also respects Miyubi and tries to connect with people who are different from her.

Mei Mei sometimes reacts so strongly to fun or exciting things that she accidentally causes chaos at school.

She is always surrounded by fans, but she values her close cooking club friends the most.
