exhibit extreme denial if she finds any evidence of a girl in his life, such as when she saw his sister's clothes hanging in his apartment—saying that they were "not his size"; to her claiming that a make-up removing cotton puff on his table was a fish cake. This side of her tends to increase more and more as the series goes on. In the anime, it is sometimes suggested that she acts like Akihisa's girlfriend and will try to burn any R18+ magazines he has, along with the aid of Minami. Her Shōkanjū is clad in heavy armor and wields a large sword. During the ESB field error, her Shōkanjū looks like an adult version of herself, while wearing the costume resembling Morrigan Aensland from Darkstalkers. Not to mention that her Shōkanjū's older version is displaying a noticeable exceptional growth in her bust size, which to Mizuki, embarrasses her to no end. Also, in the first theme song, she is holding a six-sided die in mid-air. The kana on its sides spell out "バカとテスト", or "Baka to Tesuto", which is the name of the show. Minami Shimada is one of the two female students in Class 2-F. She is Japanese but spent most of her life in Germany before coming to Fumizuki Academy, and as a result she is especially weak in kanji. Because of this handicap, the only exam in which she can do well in is math (which still isn't as good as Class 2-A's, due to the presence of word problems). She will also revert to speaking German whenever she's in shock. Minami is the tsundere of the series. Physically, she is slim and has long legs, and can be considered pretty attractive. However, she's somewhat lacking in the 'chest department' (an 'A-Cup' in Japan {she has stated, if they're lifted, they're probably a 'B-Cup'}; equivalent to a 'AA-Cup' in the US {or as she stated, probably an 'A-cup' in US}) and isn't a Valley Girl at all. Due to this, she's often being envious of Mizuki's large bust size, showing an inferiority complex about it (in the anime). Like Mizuki, she too is in love with Akihisa, but due to her inability to express herself and her tsundere nature, she acts violently towards him, often leading him to misunderstand her intentions. During the class battles in Volume 1, while executing a delay tactic, Akihisa indirectly
