Place to Place (あっちこっち, Atchi Kotchi, or Acchi Kocchi) is a Japanese yonkoma manga series by Ishiki which began serialisation in Houbunsha's Manga Time Kirara magazine from 2006. An anime adaptation by AIC aired on TBS between April and June 2012.[4][5]

Plot

The serious-minded Io and the pure-hearted Tsumiki feel they never want to be parted, but haven't become a couple yet. More than friends but less than lovers, they develop an awkward quasi-romance.

Characters

Main characters

Tsumiki Miniwa (御庭 つみき, Miniwa Tsumiki)
Voiced by: Rumi Ōkubo
The main female protagonist. Tsumiki is a somewhat petite girl who is dainty in stature and is hopelessly in love with Io. She has a tsundere attitude: sharp and sarcastic on the outside while loving on the inside. Whenever Io gives Tsumiki a pat on the head or Tsumiki sees something she likes, she grows cat ears. Tsumiki is unusually strong for her size and when she is about to use an immense amount of strength she emits a purple aura (for comical effect). She is also very skilled at arcade games.
Io Otonashi (音無 伊御, Otonashi Io)
Voiced by: Nobuhiko Okamoto
The main male protagonist. Dense, yet kind at heart, he is oblivious to Tsumiki's crush on him, but she is the girl closest to him regardless and he may have feelings for her. Io is known to tease Tsumiki on occasion. He is usually seen spinning a pen with his hand, often fast enough to surprise Mayoi. At times he unknowingly acts like a casanova. He is also quite strong, though this is not shown as often as with Tsumiki. For some reason, cats are immediately drawn to him (whether or not this is a nod to Tsumiki's crush on him is unknown). He's also a part time worker at Hatch Potch.
Mayoi Katase (片瀬 真宵, Katase Mayoi)
Voiced by: Hitomi Nabatame
Along with Sakaki, she makes up the prankster duo in the friendship circle. Very savvy with electronics and almost never seen without her lab coat, Mayoi loves to tease Tsumiki about her crush on Io, which often brings her severe repercussions from Tsumiki herself. It is implied early on, that she may be a masochist. She tends to end her sentences with "nyan".
Sakaki Inui (戌井 榊, Inui Sakaki)
Voiced by: Shintarō Asanuma
Io's best friend and partner-in-crime. Together with Mayoi, he makes up the prankster duo in the friendship circle. Like Mayoi; he is also a frequent victim of slapstick, although normally by pure accident rather than karmic backlash. His sister owns a patisserie where he, Hime and Io also work.
Hime Haruno (春野 姫, Haruno Hime)
Voiced by: Kaori Fukuhara
The clumsy and air-headed member of the group. She has a very sweet and innocent personality. She also gets easily frightened compared to the other female characters. She gets nosebleeds whenever she becomes excited or infatuated by anything cute or romantic. She's also a part time worker at Hatch Potch.

Other characters

Miiko Inui (戌井 みいこ, Inui Miiko)
Voiced by: Yūko Minaguchi
The shop manager of the cake shop Hatch Potch (ハチポチ, Hachi Pochi) and Sakaki's adult sister. She has waist-length light brown hair and is always smiling. In the anime, she is revealed to be one of Io's weaknesses as he is unable to refuse an earnest request from her. She is also a close friend to Kikue.
Saki Sakimori (崎守 咲, Sakimori Saki)
Voiced by: Natsumi Takamori
A student with waist-length blond hair and green eyes. She likes to tease Kyouya, and she is unaware of his crush on her.
Kana Miyama (深山 佳奈, Miyama Kana)
Voiced by: Hiromi Konno
A student with green hair in short, puffy pigtails and blue eyes. She is a cheerful and spontaneous girl, and she is very close to Saki.
Kyōya Saibara (西原 京谷, Saibara Kyōya)
Voiced by: Tsubasa Yonaga
A student with short black hair. He is not-so-secretly in love with Saki, and he acts in a tsundere attitude around her or whenever someone mentions his crush on her.
Ami Kirino (桐野 亜美, Kirino Ami)
Voiced by: Marie Miyake
A student with pinkish hair. She is a member of the Broadcast Committee which operates the school radio. Like Sakaki and Mayoi, she is very energetic.
Kikue Sakuragawa (桜川 キクヱ, Sakuragawa Kikue)
Voiced by: Junko Iwao
A clumsy teacher with shoulder-length greyish-light-blue hair and green eyes. She is insecure and she wants a boyfriend, although she is often depressed about it. She is a close friend of Miiko.
