A Slice of Life Yonkoma manga that was adapted into an anime in April 2012.

Acchi Kocchi (Place to Place) centers around a group of five high schoolers: cute but quiet Tsumiki, ditzy Hime, Mad Scientist Mayoi, taciturn Io, and Sakaki.

Tropes used in Place to Place include:

• Affectionate Gesture to the Head: Io has a habit of petting Tsumiki whenever her head gets in range. One manga chapter reveals that most of the time he isn't even aware he's doing it.
• Badass Adorable / Cute Bruiser: Tsumiki
• Berserk Button: Hime doesn't like being teased about her weight. Just ask Sakaki (onion squirted in eyes) and Mayoi (launched out of the cabin door).
• Blinding Bangs: Mayoi
• Butt Monkey: Mayoi, Sakaki and Kyouya
  • Iron Butt Monkey: Mayoi takes a frisbee to the neck and gets back up a few seconds later. Sakaki gets blasted by fireworks and shown later to be unharmed.
• Cannot Spit It Out: Tsumiki towards Io.
• Catgirl: Tsumiki often sprouts cat ears. Also Mayoi to a certain extent with her Cat Smile and -Nya.
• Cat Smile: Mayoi's face has this perpetually.
• Character Tics: Hime's nosebleeds and Io's pencil twirling.
• Cloudcuckoolander: Sakaki's thought process is rather strange.
• Clueless Chick Magnet: Io
• Cute Clumsy Girl: Hime
• Cute Kitten: Plenty of them. Tsumiki is very close to be one as well.
  • She actually meows in episode 7, when Io is blow drying her hair.
  • In episode 8, she has so much feline vibe that the goldfish are scared of her.
• Deadpan Snarker: Tsumiki on occasions.
• The Ditz: Hime.
• Does Not Know Her Own Strength: Tsumiki can occasionally display a rather poor grasp on her superhuman strength (compared to the other characters).
• Everyone Can See It: The main couple.
• Festival Episode: Episode 8 part B.
• First-Name Basis: Tsumiki to Io and vice versa. And without honorifics, at that!
• Five-Man Band:
  • The Hero: Tsumiki
  • The Lancer: Mayoi
  • The Smart Guy: Io
  • The Big Guy: Sakaki
  • The Chick: Hime
• Friend to All Living Things: Io, especially to cats.
  • In the Goldfish Scooping Game in episode 8, goldfish actually jump into Io's bowl of their own volition.
• Furo Scene: Averted. In episode 7, Sakaki considers peeking at the girls bathing; lampshading it with his reasoning being it often happens in media. Io strongly advises against it.
• Gadgeteer Genius: Mayoi
• Gamer Chick: Tsumiki and Mayoi
• Good Angel, Bad Angel: Tsumiki has these pop up (with Hime as her Angel and Mayoi as her Devil) when debating whether to go through Io's stuff.
• Gratuitous English: Mayoi's Snowball Bazooka delivers status messages and prompts in English. Her speech pattern is full of it as well.
• Hidden Buxom: Mayoi
• Honest Axe: Io tries this with Sakaki, but fails when the real one shows up.
• I Ate What?: Io and Sakaki do not react well to learning that the chocolate Mayoi gave them contained frog meat.
• Idiot Hair: Tsumiki and Io
• Lap Pillow: Tsumiki provides one for a snoozing Io in episode 7.
• Megane: Io. Specifically Stoic Spectacles.
• Mundane Made Awesome: Air hockey, snowball fights, kick the can, volleyball. Pretty much any game they play.
• Nosebleed: Hime in particular.
  • Tsumiki's also up there. Often, whenever Io does something, it becomes a double knock-out with the two girls face-down in a pool of their own blood.
  • Taken Up to Eleven at the end of episode 4 where Io causes all the girls in his classroom (sans Mayoi) to go down via nosebleed.
• Oblivious to Love: Io.
• Odango: Mayoi.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Don't let Tsumiki's height fool you.
• The Quiet One: Tsumiki.
• Rapunzel Hair: Tsumiki.
• Red String of Fate: Io and Tsumiki in the ED. Symbolized by a red scarf.
• School Festival: Episode 9.
• Shout-Out:
  • Tsumiki pulled a parrying move against Xia-Li's Super Move, then finished it off with a Shun Goku Satsu Super Move.
    • This is also a shout-out to Daigo Umehara's comeback victory against Justin Wong in EVO 2004.
  • Mayoi's snowball launcher is also one, with its voice and her use of "Zenryoku zenkai!".
    • Quoted it again in Episode 5.
  • In Episode 5, Mayoi talks about 300 Spartans who dines in hell. (complete with their battlecry)
  • Sakaki refer to the frogs in the school pool as "Sergeants" during episode 6.
• Slapstick Knows No Gender: Mayoi is always on the receiving end of Tsumiki's wrath.
• Slice of Life
• Super Strength: Tsumiki, in episode 3, is able to lift an enormous snowball, and throw it at least several feet into the air.
• Tsundere: Tsumiki, which gets lampshaded when she utters a stereotypical line of the archetype.
• When He Smiles: Io, and it's near deadly to Tsumiki and Hime.
• Would Hit a Girl: Io, of all people, did this to Mayoi, when she got distracted by video games during their study session in Io's room. Io is shown to be clearly irked afterwards.
  • He also pinches Mayoi's cheeks in irritation when she admits that she was not able to bring her notes.
