Mugi has striking wavy blonde hair and impressive eyebrows. Her birthday is July 2, 1991, she is 157cm tall and weighs 53kg. Her nickname is "Mugi-chan". She has a very elegant appearance and comes from a very wealthy family. Although she is a naive young lady, she is very proactive! She is interested in even the smallest things and is adorable to watch as she gives her all in everything she does!

How Tsumugi Kotobuki Joined the Light Music Club

When she went to the music room hoping to join the choir club, she met her classmates Ritsu Tainaka and Mio Akiyama. Seeing the two childhood friends always messing around (or at least Mio being teased), it feels like a married couple performing a comedy act. Then, when she hears that they're joining the light music club, she decides to join, thinking it sounds like fun.

Mugi plays the keyboard. While most of the others have no experience, Mugi has experience playing the piano. And her skills are so good she's even won awards in competitions. Perhaps due to her musical talent, she also composes music.

The light music club was formed by four freshmen. Everyone gets along well and has fun together. The stylish tea sets and delicious-looking sweets are a must-have for the girls after school...

To tell you the truth, it was Mugi who provided it! Her family is wealthy, truly bourgeois. Apparently, she receives various gifts from various sources. She generously shares it with everyone in the club (lol).

Mugi-chan is rich, but just how rich is she?

Yui Hirasawa joined the light music club with her. She has no musical experience and was assigned to play the guitar, but naturally she didn't own one. So she had to buy one. When she did, she chose a guitar based on a feeling that it was perfect, and it cost a whopping 250,000 yen! There's no way she could buy one with a high school student's allowance. That's where Mugi comes in! Using her connections (lol), the 250,000 yen was reduced to an unexpected 50,000 yen... and Yui was able to successfully purchase it. I hope all my friends get one!

Mugi is a naive, rich young lady. She often surprises her fellow members of the light music club with her naivety (like being moved when she visits a fast food restaurant or seeing a candy store for the first time).
But she never brags about being from a wealthy family! Even when it came time for high school, she turned down the school her parents recommended and enrolled in a school of her own choosing. She may be a rich girl, but she's also very proactive.
