Minori sees like Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Evirus called Kushieda Minori Top Fuel Genki and possibly even Best Girl in Toradora! In contrast Kabitzin described her as 'retarded-genki'.
But I can't help but remember how her cheerfulness may just a coping mechanism to deal with her weaknesses, her fears, her pain. The greater the latter, the more outlandish her genki behaviour. I haven't seen the manga but Minori strikes me as someone who's in a lot of pain. Even though there's not a snowflake in sight and she doesn't see dead people.

I meant retarded-genki in the best possible way, like how I think of Saber as lovably stupid =D.

She understands. She knows. She can use metaphors! This really does show Minorin isn’t as dumb as she appears to be.

Reminds me of the idea of the sad clown.
That, or Fuura Kafuka.

Kabitzin, ah I see. Though ‘retarded genki’ was pretty appropirate, it just had such a different connotation from ‘lovably stupid’. And Minori doesn’t even have an ahoge!
tj_han, judging books by their covers blah blah blah.
DKellis, I was going to call her ‘Sad Girl Genki’ but given your point about the sad clown, it’s not too much of an oxymoron?
