Level Upper Arc[]

A shot from the anime showing her fang.
In the anime, she first appears in class listening to a lecture about Personal Reality.[2] She later appears alongside Akemi and Mako, wondering about the Level Upper and bemoaning the fact that she lacks enough money to afford its high price. They then run into Saten Ruiko, who has the Level Upper and shares it with them.[3] She then uses the Level Upper, allowing her to improve her abilities. Her next appearance is in a park, allowing Akemi to use her powers on her. Akemi forgets that she was using her abilities on Muu and drops her on the ground, making her mount Akemi's back as revenge (in the manga, she also tries to choke Akemi with her arm). In the anime, she practices her powers on cans and later runs to Akemi after the latter collapses due to her using the Level Upper. She eventually collapses as well as a result of using the Level Upper and is sent to a hospital.[1]
She reappears in the anime alongside her friends in a special class for users of the Level Upper. Later, she joins the rest of the students in running laps around the track as part of training under Yomikawa Aiho. During Ruiko's confrontation with Elder Sister, Muu is concerned about Ruiko's well-being but doesn't do anything. After Elder Sister leaves, she criticizes Ruiko for taking on Elder Sister and asks her if she knows no fear. She agrees with Akemi's statement about Ruiko saying that cheating is wrong. After the special class, she is told by Mako that her statistics rose and comments that her own rose as well. She later joins Akemi and Mako for a party to celebrate.[4]

Trivia[]
- She does not refer to Ruiko by her family name, instead using her given name; this indicates that she is very close to her.
