An Asian Airhead doesn't really make sense for an anime since in most anime, everyone is Asian.


* AsianAirhead: In her chibi form at home, at least. She gets perfect grades in school, but at home she's a lazy slacker who doesn't even know what an Internet router is (which, of course, she finds out the hard way—by spilling Coke on it).

If you are talking about Akita Imokko! Ebina-chan. The ending was rather ambiguous which makes it uncertain if she's an official couple with Taihei.

Of course her Umaru-chan/UMR form is lazy, selfish, despises domestic responsibilities, and is all-around unladylike, and she'll often use this trope to try and manipulate people, primarily Taihei.

It's hard to say that Taihei and Beina are an Official Couple since the ending of her spin-off only implies they work in the same restaurant that's called Taihei and the chef there also could have been her brother since they look a lot like each other in hairstyle. There also isn't any confirmation I can find.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Everything you need to know about Umaru is summed up neatly in the opening moments of the series; In public, she acts like a mature, responsible, yet incredibly friendly and humble girl. But in the privacy of her home, she literally turns into a lazy, bratty gremlin of an otaku who would like nothing better than to eat junk food, play video games, and sleep all day, with Taihei walking in on her while she's napping with her school clothes and a pile of snacks all over the floor.

It's no wonder they gain a rivalry.
