Atashin'chi
Atashin'chi (Japanese: あたしンち, Hepburn: Atashinchi; short for "atashi no uchi", literally my home or my family, in feminine and spoken form) is a Japanese comedy manga series by Eiko Kera. It was originally serialized in the Sunday edition of the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper from 1994 to 2012, while a revival, titled Atashin'chi SUPER, has been serialised in Aera magazine since December 2019. The manga centers around the daily life of the Tachibana family.
An anime adaptation by Shin-Ei Animation was broadcast on TV Asahi from April 19, 2002, to September 19, 2009. A second anime series, titled Shin Atashin'chi (新あたしンち; "New Atashin'chi") was broadcast on Animax from October 6, 2015, to April 5, 2016, in Japan, and was simulcast on Crunchyroll in certain countries. Select episodes of Atashin'chi and Shin Atashin'chi are available on the official YouTube channel with English subtitles. A third anime series, Atashin'chi Next has been running on YouTube since June 5, 2024.
The story revolves around the Tachibana family, which consists of the frugal and sometimes unintentionally careless mother, the taciturn father who goes at his own pace, the high school girl Mikan, who is plain, timid and a bit clumsy, and the younger brother Yuzuhiko (nicknamed Yuzupi or Yu-chan), a middle school student who is shy and unfamiliar with things like love, but is sensitive, logical, and has a steady personality. The brother and sister's names are based on the Citrus unshiu (mikan) and yuzu fruits. Many other characters who intersect the Tachibana's lives are depicted interacting with the family as well. When the series first began, the story was centered around the family, with Mikan and her mother at the center (the name, Atashin'chi, is written in such a way that is implied to be from Mikan's or her mother's perspective). However, as the series continued, episodes that weave together the relationships between each family member began to be depicted.
The stage of the story in the anime work is Tanashi, Nishitokyo, and the family lives in a three bedroom apartment on the fifth floor. Starting with Tanashi Station, which is the nearest station, Seibu Shinjuku Line, Seibu Bus, Kanto Bus, Hana Bus, a community bus in Nishi-Tokyo City, etc. are faithfully reproduced in the work (the 1994 time when it was written at the beginning is still Tanashi Station was the old station building).
The family name, in earlier manga printings and in early TV episodes, was spelled using kanji as 立花. However, when the series reached international acclaim, especially in China, the spelling changed to katakana as タチバナ.
Mikan's classmate. Her last name is Shimizu (清水, Shimizu), which leads to her common nickname "Shimi-chan". She is Mikan's high school friend who attended a different junior high school, but she is a close friend of Mikan. She is mature, has a good style, and respects Mikan no matter what. She enjoys reading palms, tarot card readings and spirituality. She often goes to different fortune tellers/card readers for fun but also to learn from them. Whenever she gives any advice or her thoughts on any matter to Mikan, she pretends to smoke a nonexistent cigarette, to which Mikan then gives her a nonexistent Ashtray. Shimi-chan prefers the innocent side of Mikan, deeming it as cute and childlike. As of now, Shimi-chan is the only character who knows Mikan has a crush on Iwaki-kun. Originally, Shimi-chan thought Mikan had a crush on Yoshioka, which led to a confrontation that resulted in Mikan telling Shimi-chan her feelings for Iwaki-kun.
Mikan's classmate from the same junior high school (Minami Junior High School). He has a slightly awkward and romantic personality. He and Mikan have been friends since junior high school, but have no romantic feelings for one another. Iwaki-kun and Yoshioka get along well together and talk about their similar interests. Sometimes Yoshioka likes to tease Mikan by making fun of her as a joke. In Shin Atashin'chi it was revealed that Yoshioka has a phobia of fish, more specifically a phobia of fishes' faces. Yoshioka finds it pleasing to correct Mikan's statements and finds the fact that Mikan doesn't know many trivial or philosophical facts unpleasing. So much so, that he just barges into Mikan's conversations just so that he can correct her and show his intelligence, which leads to Mikan being annoyed.
Mikan's classmate whose real name is Yuka (from anime 1st season). She is usually quiet, but when she smiles and she hugs her belly without worrying about others. She has white skin and is envied by Mikan due to her maiden-like personality. She, Mikan, and Shimi-chan are often seen together in a trio.
