"We're friends. What's one little argument?"

— Mina to Ai

Mina (ミナ, Mina) is a side character in The World Ends with You who appears a few times in the three weeks, mostly appearing next to her friend Ai.

Appearance

Mina has chin-length dark brown, almost black hair, and brown eyes. She wears what seems to be a school uniform with a white blouse, a red bow, and a green plaid skirt, with a grey hoodie wrapped around her waist. She wears long black socks and has a pink phone.

Personality

She shows kindness multiple times through the story and is willing to help others, but is also seen to be fairly impressionable, liking things because they are popular.

Biography

In week 1, Mina is first seen outside Shibu Dept. Store with Makoto. Upon discovering Makoto wants tickets to a Tin Pin Slammer slam, she resolves to obtain some; however, Ai spies her walking away and becomes suspicious.

Ai and Mina's argument attracting Negative Noise.

Later, Neku and Shiki are tasked with removing the noise from Spain Hill and trace the source of the noise to Ai and Mina. Mina is perplexed by Ai's bad temper, and a game of Reaper Creeper results in Ai accusing her of trying to steal Makoto, her crush. Here, Mina's kindness comes to light, as she produces two tickets to the slam and gives them to Ai so that the two can date.

The next day, she can be seen talking to Eri, Shiki's friend, in the Scramble Crossing, which hints that they may be school friends. Mina asks Eri why she hasn't designed anything and Eri begins to talk about Shiki. Upon hearing that Shiki has died, Mina expresses her condolences.

In week 2, Mina is seen at Shadow Ramen in Dogenzaka. Neku asks her questions, and although she is running short on time, she answers a few. She admits she is not much of a noodle person, preferring sweeter treats (even proposing someone make dessert ramen), and is only there because the Prince recommended it on his blog. She is intensely excited about seeing the celebrity, even willing to pay ¥5000 for the ramen to photograph it and show it off to her friends, which silently irritates Neku.

"To right the countless wrongs of our day, we shine this light of true redemption, that this place may become as paradise. What a wonderful world such would be..."

She is then later seen during the events of Week 3 with Ai, possessed by the O-pin.

In Another Day

In Another Day, Mina is a member of Shiki's Prince fanclub, the White Angels. She is available to play outside Shibu Dept. Store before the slam-off and again after the slam-off. She uses the same deck both times. Upon being defeated after the slam-off, she rewards Neku with a Sparkle Charge pin.

Quotes

• "White! Cool... The coin really moved! So, like... We said, "if you're here, go to White." And it went to White. Whoa... That means... The Reaper's here! Creepy! Can you believe it? Reapers really exist!"
• "Ai... This isn't like you."
• "Ahh... Please, Ai... You're scaring me. Snap out of it..."
• "I'm sorry. I just wanted to help. Makoto wants to go to the Molco slam-off. But he couldn't get a ticket. He told me yesterday. So I started mailing my friends. I figured, you know, maybe if I scored two tickets... You and Makoto go have a great time."
• "No worries. It's partly my fault for fibbing to you. We're friends. What's one little argument?"
• "The way you talk about her, she must have been something." (to Eri regarding Shiki)
• "Why? Uh, 'cause it's the most popular spot in Shibuya? And it's fun, don't you think? Where else do they dance while making your food? Plus, they gave me this cool limited-edition pin. How could anyone NOT like this place?" (regarding Shadow Ramen)
