How's Minuki as a character and what's your opinion about her? Has she any distinctive traits which makes her different from Maya and Young Ema? Does she replace them perfectly? Any remarkable relationships?
I'm wondering because I was not too fond of Maya, because of her rather childish behaviour. I thought Minuki would be more mature when watching the pre-release set of official goods, but I guess I doubt it now. But I hope I will like her.
I don't mind spoilers, but still put them in spoiler tags.
(And I know that Croik has already a decent profile for her, but I want to know a little more about her)

Her interaction with Odoroki isn't much different than Maya's was with Phoenix, except that she's actually acting her age, while Maya was acting younger...? I liked Ema better than Maya anyway, I think she's my favorite of the assistants.
In short, she's not awesome, not awful, and she does still kinda feel like a Maya clone. With...slightly more ambiguous morals.

And the only thing I know about Minuki is that she looks awesome, so I'll just comment on that. She looks AWESOME.
And the Jazz version of her theme kicks too much ass. (Even if the band gave Odoroki's theme a cameo right in the middle. XD)

I understand why some are disliking her, I never had a heart for uber-cute characters either.
Except for Pearl. But I'll make my final decision once the game comes out in English.

BLASPHEMER.
Anyways... I like Minuki a lot (Possibly enough for this fanboy phase of mine to get out of hand.) even though I only understood half of what was going on when I played GS4. I like her design and her theme and her cuteness. HER CUTENESS. I payed attention only to her cute moments, and ignored all the other ones since, heck, I didn't know what was going on, so... yeah. :P
I do not tolerate bullies. Good day.

I LOL'D.
On topic: I haven't played GS4 so I don't have much of an opinion on Minuki...based on my opinion on Maya and what people are saying in this topic, I probably won't like her
But for now, her character design is adorable and her theme is love, so I'll try to like her I guess.

I guess the only really good example is Gregory Edgeworth, and he's dead, too.
Maybe the Amasugi's shouldn't have kids after all.

...Russell Berry? But then again teaching kids to believe that dead people becomes stars is exaggerated and not smart
Oh, and come to think of it... that makes my PW OC even more unique ~~ Oops, shouldn't reveal.

The "people become stars" thing is just a fairytale he told his child when she was sad about someone dying, no harm in that and it made her feel better.
My beef with him is Regina in general. She's a 16 year old and she doesn't even seem to know that a puppet is not a separate entity from the puppeteer. She has no empathy for anything until the very end. She treats death as a joke. The problem isn't that he told her that people become stars. The problem is that the way he raised her, when he told her that she felt it gave her an excuse to not care if people died and to flaunt it as fact in the face of grieving people. Everyone says he was a great guy and maybe he is, but he was a pretty crappy parent as far as things go.
...But I apologize, that was rather off-topic >>; But yeah, Gregory seems to be the only good parent and he's dead >>;

I could be wrong though. (Waits for September.

I think by the next game people will be totally in love with Minuki.

Ema had a single case to win me over. She did. Minuki had an entire GAME to win me over. She didn't.

Besides it's not fair to say that Minuki had a whole game to impress people. Heck Odoroki had a whole game to impress people too and well people complain we got no development from him either.
What I'm saying is. It's hard to really cement Odoroki and Minuki into the series and tell if they're good or bad characters considering GS4 was more about Phoenix than either of them. I mean heck I think Odoroki is too much of a "by the book" kind of guy that it get's annoying, but other than that I still like Odoroki's character.

I see where you're coming from, however, characters don't need large amounts of character development or spectacular actions for us to get our opinions of them. Three cases of plenty of time to get a good grasp of Minuki's daily interactions with people and her mannerisms. Unless she changes significantly in future games, the people who don't like her now probably still won't like her later. Same with any character, really.

She's a main character. It's NEVER taken me more than a single case for me to like any of the seconds. I don't see why Minuki would be different in that regard. It's not as though I went into the game expecting to dislike her.
Development =/= likeablity. I love Odoroki, and I also think he was under-developed. It's not that I need to know more about Minuki in order to like her, it's that her personality is irritating to me.

Makes me realize that in some ways, Minuki is more like Phoenix, and Odoroki is ... okay, maybe he's not really that Maya-like. But he does call it a "ladder". And his "voice projecting practice" is pretty out there, I don't think that helps him any more than Maya would improve her skills by standing under a waterfall.
