Fruits Basket Another
When she first is introduced, she invites Sora and Sawa to a batting center, since she got a new bat for her birthday. Mina then goes on to tell her that her father is overseas for business and he usually makes many trips while she stays behind to go to school and attend baseball games. Sawa initially had an argument with her mother, and Hajime tells her that he dislikes his paternal grandfather. When Mina overhears and tells her that she can call her father's lawyer and she can pay the fees later. Sawa blushes and Hajime chastised Mina for using her father's influence. Later, Sawa tries batting but she's terrible at it, so Mina and Sora help her by teaching her. Mina's aunt, Momo, later comes to pick her so they can meet Momiji as the airport, and Mina waves her friends goodbye and tells Sawa that she hopes she has a blessed future.

Mina is later seen happily greeting Sawa with Hibika Sohma as she arrives at the Sohma cottage. On the trip, she shows Sawa around and teases her about her relationship with Shiki Sohma. Mina makes an opportunity for them to spend time together when she reveals how Sawa wanted to go to the aquarium, and asks Shiki to escort her. As the two are on their trip, Mina and Sora play on the beach, and they soon fall asleep from playing too much in the water. During the nighttime, she is seen with the other Sohmas doing fireworks.
