Premise
Tsumiki Miniwa, a small girl who packs a punch, is in love with her best friend, tall and easygoing Io Otonashi. The only problem is that she can't bring herself to come out and say it. And, despite the fact that he can otherwise read her like a book, Io doesn't seem to be able to pick up the obvious clues—even with all of their friends teasing that there's no one better suited for each other.
Acchi Kocchi follows Tsumiki and her circle of friends as they go through their day-to-day lives. Between Mayoi the electronics nerd, Sakaki the good-natured prankster, and the nosebleed-prone Hime, Tsumiki's friends will never let her live down her crush. But only time will tell if Tsumiki will gain the courage to finally say how she truly feels.

Place = Princess Part A: After a strange shared dream in a JRPG world similar to Dragon Warrior, the gang goes to an ice skating rink. Io, Hime and Sakaki are experienced skaters, but the rest are not, and Mayoi falls flat on her face. Io teaches Tsumiki to skate, well enough that she chases Mayoi and Sakaki making fun of her. Later, Mayoi stumbles into Io who ends up elbowing Sakaki in the face. Part B: Tsumiki hears fortune advice over the radio to take the initiative, and she goes to find Io at the station and grabs his hand and puts it on her head. The gang ends up talking about fortunes. Later, Miyama borrows Io's glasses for good luck at the vending machine, making Tsumiki blush. Miyama ends up with a lot of sodas. Finally, they flip through the a love compatibility horoscope. Io and Tsumiki get "good compatibility" but Io says he'd rather follow his heart than listen to his horoscope. After some prodding from Sakaki, he admits that he doesn't mind getting "good compatibility" with Tsumiki. |
