Almo (アルモ Arumo?), and Coco Nutmilk (ココ・ナッツミルク Koko Nattsumiruku?) are two fictional characters from the manga and video game series Galaxy Angel. They are the bridge crew and operators of the Elsior. Specifically, Almo tends to communications while Coco is in charge of radar and tracking.

Almo has short purple hair and blue eyes, while Coco has long light brown hair, brown eyes and wears glasses. They accompanied General Luft and the Angels since the escape from Eonia's assault on the Transbaal throne world and were surprised to learn that the general was turning over control to the youthful Takuto Meyers. While initially impressed with Takuto for bluntly refusing to surrender to Rezum, one of Eonia's officers, they were dubious of Takuto's ability to lead because of his laid-back attitude. Almo in particular felt Lester would've made a far better commander (partly because she had a crush on him). Takuto eventually won them over and they accepted his unorthodox leadership style. Such is their fondness that they were visibly saddened to learn he would likely have to surrender command of the Elsior to the supreme commander of the Eonia CounterAttack Fleet. Much later in Eternal Lovers, following a devastating loss to the Val Fasq, the two fear that Takuto will be severely disciplined for his failure.

Almo has a huge crush on Lester that is obvious to all but Lester himself, while Coco takes an interest in the assorted relationships occurring around her. Coco is also apparently a fan of male-male love, as evidenced by her glee whenever Takuto and Lester demonstrate some degree of closeness (such as finishing each other's sentences or guessing each other's thoughts).

In a short story included with a special set of Eternal Lovers, Almo attempts to no avail to confess her feelings to Lester. Well meaning help from the Angels and Coco backfire. However, at the end, Lester demonstrates an unusual fondness for her, suggesting that her long-unrequited crush may not have gone completely unnoticed.

In Galaxy Angel II, Coco works under Takuto aboard Luxiore while Almo works under Lester aboard Elisior. Coco has apparently taken Lester's place as Takuto's right hand and is now comfortable enough with him to occasionally address him as 'Takuto-san' privately rather than the more formal 'Mayers-shirei' ('Commander Mayers'). In addition, she is also now one of the few people who can force Takuto to do his job, including much-dreaded paperwork.

Meanwhile, Almo has apparently still not been able to confess to Lester, and her crush on him is as strong as ever. She is also still prone to squealing with embarrassment whenever anyone hints at her feelings for Lester in his presence.
