Webcomic / Mimi

1 Following

Mimi is a manga webcomic by the artist Nhim about a girl named Mimi. Supporting characters include her sort-of-love-interest Roy, another girl named Elise, and her long-suffering teacher. Almost every comic is a single page, with some only having one panel.

Tropes:

• A-Cup Angst: Elise is disappointed that her boobs aren't as big as Mimi's.
• All Women Are Lustful: Mimi is the biggest pervert in the comic:
  • She reads hentai in public.
  • She immediately invites Roy to grab her breasts when he holds her hands to warm them up.
  Oops! Looks like my chest is cold!
  • She owns an ahegao hoodie.
  • When she gets shrunk, she asks Roy to put her in a jar, with the implication that she then wants him to fill the jar with his semen.
• Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?: Roy finds Mimi stuck in a wall, and starts to run for help, only for her to grab him with her legs.
• "Balls" Gag: When Roy offers her boba tea, Mimi says she'd "love to gargle on [his] balls".
• Berserk Button: For Mimi, having to create an account for anything, whether that be for playing a game or viewing a website.
  Roy: Mimi, wanna try this hot new game everyone is playing?
  Mimi: Sure! How do I get started?
  Roy: First, you gotta make an account-
  Mimi: I WOULD RATHER DIE!
• Book and Switch: Inverted when Mimi reads a hentai manga called Goth Girl Ahegao in public, then we see that she's actually reading Green Eggs and Ham behind it.
• Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs: In one wordless comic, Mimi is entering a door that has "no cats", "no smoking", and "no sunglasses" symbols on it. She's holding a cat who's smoking and wearing sunglasses.
• Calvinball: When playing poker with some old men, Mimi responds to one's royal flush^note the highest possible hand in poker with an Evil Grin and all 5 cards of Exodia the Forbidden One.
• Cat Girl: In one comic, Mimi swaps her ears with a cat's. The cat with human ears feels that it got the worse end of the deal.
• Child Hater: Played for Laughs. When asked if she wants to donate her change to feed underprivileged kids, Mimi says "Hell no! I hope all them kids starve to death!"
• Clingy Jealous Girl: When Roy asks Mimi's advice on gifts for a woman, she's jealous that he's buying a gift for some other girl. He explains it's for his mom, but she interprets that as him having a mommy fetish.
• Cloudcuckoolander: Mimi is most assuredly not playing with a full deck. She thinks social skills are a spell one can cast, for one thing.
• Comically Missing the Point:
  • Mimi goes to a sushi restaurant and is disappointed that her fish is raw (it's supposed to be). Fortunately, she brought her portable stove and cooking implements.
  • Finding Mimi stuck in a wall, he runs for help, only for her to grab him with her legs.
  • When playing chess, Mimi thinks having a mirror behind her opponent allows her to see their moves and "cheat", despite chess moves not being hidden at all.
• Crazed Concentric Eyes: Mimi's eyes are permanently like this, just to show how crazy and off-kilter she is.
• Cute Little Fangs: Mimi frequently sports a small fang.
• "Dinner, Bath, or Sex" Offer: Mimi offers this to Roy, but he's more concerned with the fact that she broke into his house.
• Do Wrong, Right: When Mimi sees two cats fighting, she reads The Art of War to one of them to teach it better tactics.
• Ear Cleaning: Mimi offers to clean Roy's ears while he lays his head on her lap, but unfortunately the combination of the ear pick and the weight of her boobs on top of his head makes him imagine his head in a lion's mouth.
• Emergency Multifaith Prayer: Mimi prays to Jesus, Buddha, Goku, and even Albert Einstein...to tell her that Ligma isn't terminal.
• Entertainingly Wrong: Frieza goes to the Make-A-Wish Foundation because he assumes they grant the sort of wishes he would have (they might, but won't do anything if he doesn't have cancer).
• Erotic Eating: Mimi wants to do this with a popsicle, but it's kind of hard to do with one shaped like SpongeBob SquarePants.
• Everyone Has Standards: When a genie offers Mimi three wishes, she wishes for him to 1) turn all water into milk, 2) destroy every toilet on earth, and 3) make everyone lactose intolerance [sic]. The genie is noticeably disturbed, and asks what's wrong with her.
• Fake Relationship: Mimi says she and Roy are a couple to get a discount at a store... and then we see the store is selling engagement rings.
• Fish-Eye Lens: Used to show Duo standing ominously outside Mimi's door.
• From the Mouths of Babes: Mimi's always been foul-mouthed, but it's even funnier when she's a little kid.

  • In another flashback, her mom asks her what to say if someone offers her drugs:
  Mimi: Holy shit, free drugs!
  • Young Mimi points at a worksheet with pictures of animals on it, and yells out "pussy!" (cat) and "cock!" (rooster).
• Funny X-Ray: At the doctor's, an x-ray inexplicably shows a diagram of Saddam Hussein's hiding place in place of Mimi's rib cage.
• Hypocritical Humor:
  • When Mimi asks Roy to play the pocky game with her, he responds by saying they should just go straight to kissing. Her reaction is to point at him and shout "LEWD!" (She's still into it, though)
  • Elise complains that hands and feet are hard to draw, and contemplates drawing Hands in Pockets to get around it. Mimi tells her "a true artist would never take shortcuts like that", while her hands and feet are all obscured by a lightbulb, a cat, Elise's head, and a speech bubble.
• The Internet Is for Porn:
  • To decide if a show is worth watching, Mimi looks up that show's Rule 34.
  • Subverted in one comic where Mimi opens Pornhub to do "homework", and then actually watches a video on calculus by @changhsumath.
• Knights and Knaves: When encountering the two guards, Mimi asks what their credit card numbers are. The truthful guard just tells her the correct door and asks her to leave, but she refuses until he answers her question.

• Stylistic Suck: Mimi's "erotic" painting is a stick figure with two huge circles for boobs.
