Nicknames[]

- Akarin (あかりん Akarin?) is the nickname, Midori always uses on Akari. One reason that Midori uses this nickame, is because when Midori talks way fast, she misspells Akari's name onto adding a "n" though sounding "Akarin". The second reason why Midori might use this nickname is that akarin comes half from Akari's name, and the part "rin" means cause, and if considered as half, Akarin means red cause.
