Akane Mishima

"I love you too"

- Akane Mishima Akane Mishima [美嶋 紅音, Mishima Akane] is a second-year student at Seitetsu Gakuin High School and is one of the few school library aides. She is the second Blue Kämpfer to be seen in the series. She is a timid girl with perverted thoughts,which a triggered by Seppuku rabbit the she becomes aggresive whenever she tranforms into a Kämpfer. Akane is an honours student, being one of the highest scorers of the school. She is one of the few students with access to both sides of the school.

For a long time, Akane had been alone, her closest friend at that time Masumi Nishino being in a different school from her as she was one year younger than her. Coupled with her being timid and shy, she had been unable to make close friends with anyone. Eventually, Akane was made a Kämpfer some time before the events of the series. During this time, she never encountered any other Kämpfer, and her only companion on this matter was her messenger Black Seppuku Rabbit. Initially attacking Senou Natsuru, confusing him for an enemy Kämpfer, she eventually joined him as an ally along with Sangou Shizuku and Mikoto Kondou.

During her time with Natsuru, she eventually began to harbour feelings for him as he was the first male friend she ever had. These feelings would grow to such an extent that she would get jealous and irritated whenever any other girl tried to spend time with him. At the end of the Light Novel, Akane was eventually chosen by Natsuru, but she was not choosen by him at the end of the Manga.

Normal Appearance


Akane is shorter and generally smaller than the other girls in her group. She keeps her brown hair in a short cut, keeping her hair neat with her signature yellow headband. She is usually seen wearing her school uniform, with glasses and occasionally her library ID card. Outside of class, she wears casual clothes, such as a pink shirt and skirt. She has shown interest in gothic clothes while shopping with Nishino Masumi and Natsuru, though usually wears something more conservative.

Kämpfer Appearance


As a Kämpfer, Akane's hair grows out to be more unruly, and is coloured red which reflects her aggressive nature. She apparently also gains perfect vision, as she does not require glasses while shooting, and her eyes turn from an emerald green to a bright red. She also loses her headband and wears a black choker. If Akane is wearing her school uniform, her sleeves are cut shorter to reveal her bracelet and black undershirt.

Akane is normally a very shy, quiet girl. She tends to mistake others people's speech as sexual comments, as shown when she goes to Natsuru's house thinking that he wants to have sex with her. She stutters often and is very respectful to people she meets. After becoming friends with Natsuru, she becomes more assertive, shown when she forces him to go on a date with her. She is also very protective of Natsuru, as he was her first male friend, causing her to fall in love with him. She becomes very jealous and irritated when he talks about Kaede Sakura and repeatedly tries to get the other girls away from him. She has a very low self-esteem, shown when willing to kiss Shizuku Sangō to pretend that it is Natsuru. However, her Kämpfer form is a polar opposite of her normal self. Akane becomes very violent, aggressive and bad-mouthed, constantly insulting everyone she meets. She often threatens Natsuru with her gun, forcing him to do things that she wants. Despite this, she seems to appreciate her partnership and is always there to protect him. Unlike her normal self, she is not afraid to talk about her romance with Natsuru, though he does not see this. She also dislikes being addressed with any honorifics, shown when she threatened Natsuru after he addressed her as "-chan".


 * Gewehr means "rifle" or "gun" in German, yet Akane is seen carrying a pistol (pistole in German). However, the more general use of "gun" is perhaps employed in this description.
 * Despite being the fourth character introduced, she was the second character seen in the series, during the prologue.
 * According to the light novel in volume 12, Akane was chosen by Natsuru which seems that Akane's love is fulfilled, however, in the manga of volume 10, she is not chosen by Natsuru because he'd chosen to be with Shizuku.
 * Akane has transformed in every episode (including both episodes of fur die liebe)

Recently, she (as well as Mikoto Kondo) made a cameo appearance in "Asobi ni Iku Yo!" as part of group staring at Eris and her group.
