♛ fine

fine (fee-nay) is Yumenosaki‘s “most formidable unit.” They’re undefeated until DDD, where Trickstar defeats them by Eichi reluctantly conceding the encore out of concern for his health. fine consists of Eichi (leader), Hibiki Wataru, Fushimi Yuzuru, and Himemiya Tori.
》 fine‘s members all have difficulty with social interraction and relationship building and find comfort in each other. Eichi considers them his “happy accident”/angels/suns!
》 Tori

Tori is Eichi’s number one fan! Eichi loves his “cute Tori” more than anything, and only wishes to see him grow and develop and mature. He hopes one day Tori will rightfully take the title of top idol.
》 (cont.)

Tori often tries to get spoiled by Eichi, who will hold him in his lap and pet his head. However, Tori wants to make Eichi proud by showing him he’s capable of being a great idol and following in his footsteps.
》 (cont.)

In StarFes2, it’s revealed that Eichi is worried about the possibility of Tori coming to hate him when he finds out the things he regretfully did to get to the top. Tori explains that Yuzuru actually told him everything as a bedtime story... and he still loves him!
》 Yuzuru

Yuzuru is Tori’s butler and entered fine as such. He’s described as the “mom,” and Eichi makes wife comments directed towards him. Eichi hopes Yuzuru will struggle and develop the same as Tori because even if he joined under obligation, he’s also a beloved member.
》 (cont.)

Yuzuru has a secret sadistic side to him resulting from his past training as a child soldier. He says the moment he was placed in fine his life belonged to Eichi, but he would also take pleasure in assassinating him... or “witnessing a very unfortunate accident.”
》 (cont.)

Yuzuru’s past as a child soldier/delinquent was formerly hinted through an excerpt from Eichi’s short story “Daydream.” Eichi describes Yuzuru as being a punk-rock beauty formed by rough, stormy seas and the mole under his eye being sexy.
》 Wataru

Wataru is Eichi’s idol and the one who inspired him. Eichi wants to always be with him, declaring he’ll forever strive to make sure Wataru never gets bored. Wataru finds Eichi interesting since heaven was made for people like him, but he wandered into hell instead.
》 (cont.)

Wataru was formerly a free spirit not caring where he was going or where he would end up. He says Eichi desperately tethered him to this world, and for that he’s grateful.
》 (cont.)

Wataru is known as the “jester.” He seeks to entertain. When he was small, people eventually got bored of his tricks and cast him away. He’s comforted knowing Eichi will always be entertained by him; because of this, whenever he’s upset, he goes to Eichi.
》 (cont.)

Eichi originally caused an entire “war” in their second year for the sake of performing with Wataru. Wataru stated he couldn’t tell if he was meant to be Eichi’s rival or his lover.
At the end of this live, Eichi collapsed into Wataru’s arms and puked up blood.
♛ Ex-fine

find was originally formed in Eichi’s second year as means of crushing their opponents and becoming number one. Eichi handpicked those he felt would be useful to him. Tsumugi Aoba supported Eichi wholeheartedly, but Nagisa Ran and Hiyori Tomoe were harder to control.
》 (cont.)

Tsumugi genuinely wanted to be Eichi’s friend from the very beginning. However, due to Eichi’s poor upbringing, Eichi thought Tsumugi was using him for money. Although Eichi didn’t plan to become fond of Tsumugi, he eventually wanted to be his friend as well.
》 (cont.)

The misunderstanding of their relationship is what led to their falling out. Tsumugi didn’t read the contract that said fine would disband after they had done what they came to do and felt betrayed. In third year, Eichi is incredibly awkward around Tsumugi.
♛ The War/ “what did eichi do enstars”

Eichi’s second year is referred to as “The War.” Using ex-fine, he would single out Yumenosaki’s most gifted students, bring them together, then tear them down one by one. He called them the Oddballs, a word sounding similar to cockroach.
》 (cont.)

The Oddballs — Sakuma Rei, Shinkai Kanata, Itsuki Shu, Sakasaki Natsume, and Hibiki Wataru — were only targets for their talent. Eichi never hated them; in fact, he admired them, especially Wataru who was previously stated to be his idol.
》 (cont.)

Eichi distorted their images and made them out to be monsters with Tsumugi’s help. As he defeated them in lives, his popularity grew.
At a certain point in the year, Eichi no longer believes he’s doing the right thing. He can’t remember his dream.
》 (cont.)

Tsumugi encourages Eichi to keep going, and they defeat the final Oddball, Wataru.
Wataru was enthusiastic about his defeat.

♛ Checkmate/ Tsukinaga Leo/ “what did eichi do enstars but this time it’s not entirely his fault”

Eichi befriended Leo at the beginning of second year, and they became close friends. Leo wrote Eichi beautiful songs and nicknamed him “Tenshi,” or “Angel.”
》 (cont.)

Leo’s former unit, Chess/Othello/Backgammon, had been using him for his talent. When given the choice, they would choose Leo’s songs over his friendship. Everyone defeated by Chess began to resent Leo.
Eichi knew this, and planned to use it.
》 (cont.)

Eichi sped up the process by scheduling live after live for Leo to win, and, eventually, a live where the audience were only those he defeated.
Eichi didn’t want to fight Leo. He knew Leo would break, and he could comfort him and bring him safely to his side.
》 (cont.)

This plan backfired, and Leo had a breakdown and went missing.
Eichi says everyone blames him for it. He knows it’s partially his fault for driving away his friend. Izumi assures him it’s everyone’s fault for Leo, even his own, and he shouldn’t shoulder all the blame.
♛ Knight Killers

Leo returns in third year and forms a temporary unit to battle with Knights. He invites Eichi (blockhead Emperor), Kiryu Kuro, and Nito Nazuna.
Eichi came up with the name. They all think it’s stupid. He thinks it’s cool, though.

♛ Student Council

The Student Council (/fine) are the antagonists of the main story. Eichi, the president, and Keito, the vice president, secured these positions after second year. Mao is the next president, and Rei was the former.
Yuzuru isn’t an actual member. He’s honorary.
》 (cont.)

Eichi actually didn’t want to be StuCo president at first, explaining that Keito put him in that position when he made him Emperor. He doesn’t even do his work most of the time although he claims he enjoys it.
》 Mao

Mao, a member of Trickstar, was StuCo’s double agent. He doesn’t want to be president either until the end of his second year.
He finds Eichi... incredibly weird... but Eichi expects great things from him.
♛ Keito/ Eichi’s disease

Eichi was born with a disease that kept him in the hospital for a very long time. Knowing there would always be the possibility of him not waking up, he shut out the world and became a terror to those around him from a young age.
》 (cont.)

His disease gave him inferiority and superiority/god complexes, all coming from his severe fear of death. He accused maids of things they’d never done to get them fired, and would spend money without care to get everything he wanted.
》 (cont.)

Eichi’s family, the Tenshouin Zaibatsu, is hereditarily short-lived, and his grandfather dies in the story.

Keito was the first warm thing Eichi had ever found love in.

Keito would do the funerals for Eichi’s family. They befriended each other talking about Eichi’s.
》 (cont.)

Eichi refers to young Keito as a little god of death. He wanted to build a pyramid for Eichi’s funeral. Eventually, they became regular friends, and Eichi would show up to Keito’s temple unannounced to play, and Keito would make up fun stories to entertain Eichi.
》 (cont.)

The maids started to realize that Keito was the only person Eichi would let get close to him, so he was forced to help raise Eichi. There were times Keito would terrify Eichi after scolding him, most likely resulting in tears. Eichi still brings up how scary he is.
》 (cont.)

In QuarrelFes, Eichi no longer wants Keito to be so protective of him. Keito’s unit, Akatsuki, was formed to protect him. He wants Keito to see him as his friend, not his obligation.
He feels horrible for leeching off Keito’s dreams of being a mangaka.
》 (cont.)

Eichi’s no fun, grumpy, stick-in-the-mud childhood friend overhears Eichi’s concerns and explains that he never felt Eichi stole his dreams. Keito simply found someone who was more interesting than any manga protagonist could ever be.
》 (cont.)

Keito is still protective of Eichi to an extent, and he’s always the first to Eichi’s bedside when he collapses. Their dream of reforming the school, the dream Eichi misguidedly pursued in second year, is soon found in Trickstar.
♛ Trickstar

Eichi loves and admires Trickstar and wants to see them grow. He supports them during SS.

He and Subaru are fairly close, having sleepovers and playing around, although still consider each other rivals. Eichi gives Subaru the title of top idol until Tori is of age.
》 (cont.)

Hokuto isn’t the most fond of Eichi, as he performed with Wataru during the “war.” Eichi refers to him as “Hockey Mask-kun,” something they called him that year. Hokuto refuses tea thinking it’s poison, and Eichi threatens to beat etiquette into Hokuto.
♛ Eichi’s third year + personality

Eichi’s transition from second to third year was filled with a lot of grief and regret. He apologized for being born, driven all his friends away, and believed he deserved to be alone while in pain. He didn’t want to be alive.
》 (cont.)

In StarFes2, there’s a flashback to Eichi laying alone in his hospital room writhing in pain, and it’s implied he passes out because of it. Wataru appears, relieves him of his pain, and takes him soaring through the skies. Wataru then offers him a “magical kiss.”
》 (cont.)

Since fine disbanded, it wasn’t supposed to be reformed again. Tori insisted, and Eichi made it next to impossible for Tori, Yuzuru, and Wataru to join. (We still don’t know how exactly this happened or Eichi’s reaction.) That fine helped Eichi into third year!
》 Tea Club

Eichi is the president of tea club! It consists of him, Shino Hajime, and Sakuma Ritsu.
Eichi and Ritsu squabble often (Eichi kicks Ritsu if he’s under the table), and both of them dote on Hajime, who call them “oniichan”!
(Eichi’s offered to adopt Hajime before.)
》 Ritsu

Eichi and Ritsu are friends! Eichi carries Ritsu on his back during Mall Live and teases him saying he might drop him.
Considering Ritsu punched Eichi in second year, and Eichi said Ritsu was unworthy of being loved, this is... an improvement.
》 Hajime

Eichi frequently loves on Hajime and tries to give him money to help with his lack of funds. Ritsu said Eichi was “like a dad,” and Eichi said if that was the case, Hajime-kun would always be “daddy’s boy.”
》 Don’t listen to the fanbase.

With new friends and determination to be better, Eichi grows and develops! He’s not the tyrant anymore. He’s strong-willed, kind, full of love, and wants to be an idol that brings people happiness, not despair.
》 (cont.)

Eichi now recognizes that there are people who love him, and he’s capable of loving them back. He wants to be strong like a lion and a wonderful idol his fans can see as a beacon of hope, just as the shining sun outside his hospital window was for him!
》 (cont.)

Eichi has a lot of quirks, especially when it comes to things not typically in his high-class lifestyle. He has trouble with the vending machine, gets very excited about smoothies (it’s food-like, but juice-like!), and had Kaoru show him the arcade!
》 (cont.)

Since he spends many days in the hospital, he runs the risk of falling behind, so he watches videos and says that helps him with his skills. Specifically, he learns how to throw knives from videos? And wanted to fight Tetora because he claimed he knew capoeira???
》 (cont.)

Eichi’s just a very cute boy. Please look at him.
》 (cont.)

In CNstars’ story “Luoxiaohei,” Eichi gets to play with a kitty! He says the only thing that beats the tummy of a cat is the toe beans of a cat. The kitten came right over to him because it felt safe around him.
Ritsu, whom Eichi calls “kitty cat,” was jealous.
》 (cont.)

Eichi is essentially a toddler. He calls people, especially Keito, “meanie” whenever he doesn’t get his way, and he kicked Keito for making a comment about Tsumugi being a snake. The more someone tells him not to do something, the more he wants to do it.
♛ Shu

Although Eichi’s gotten better overall, he never lost a few old habits. He has a minor obsession with Shu’s performance and skill, thinking him a genius of this day, and uses provocation to challenge him.
He compares himself and Shu to Orihime and Hikoboshi.
》 (cont.)

Eichi’s obsession takes a... turn... in the epilogue of Milky Way. After performing with Shu, he has a moment where he gushes and rambles to Wataru about how amazing Shu is, saying he’s drooling, and he won’t stop until he gets to experience this—Shu—again.
♛ Madara

Eichi isn’t the most fond of Madara. Madara, having outwitted the student council their previous year, is a solo unit, making him hold more power than regular units.
He and Eichi feel threatened by each other, and Madara has threatened physical harm on Eichi.
》 (cont.)

Eichi believes Madara is too dangerous to be left alone, so he’s proposed “killing” him before. Keito, of course, tells Eichi he can’t just kill people because he’s bored.
Eichi thinks otherwise.
》 (cont.)

An interesting fact is that Akira stated Madara and Eichi are meant to be extremely similar to each other in the sense that they’re anti-heroes! Madara uses a different form of manipulation to get his way, lying and earning others’ trust, believing it’s “justice.”
♛ Eichi’s juniors

Eichi really really loves his juniors. He playfully bullies them (chasing Shinobu around because he thought it was cute) and tries his best to be good to them.
It was implied in a 4koma that Yuta eats lunch with Eichi and Ritsu because they’re left-handed!
》 Tsukasa

Tsukasa calls Eichi “Tenshouin-oniisama” and admires him very much! Eichi is a little hard on him only because he wishes he and Tori would stop fighting, and he wants Tsukasa to mature elegantly. Tsukasa takes everything to heart.
♛ Eichi’s ‘color’

Sora has synesthesia, which lets him see people’s “colors.” Everyone has a color fit to who they are. He’s said before that Natsume and Eichi share the same color.
Natsume supports Eichi‘s dream and finds it admirable, just not the methods he used.
》 Natsume

Natsume was made into an Oddball by Tsumugi’s suggestion.
He calls Eichi “old man,” and Eichi calls him “boy.” He’ll support Eichi on stage for as long as that’s what Tsumugi wants, but he’ll continue to drag Eichi there until he defeats him.
♛ Circus

If you don’t like Eichi, I dare you to read circus. I fell in love with Eichi after this event, and I’m pretty sure this was the case for lots of other EichiPs too!
(He cries a little and gets made fun of by Koga after they catch him talking to the lion.)
♛ Maeyama Takahisa

I debated not putting this in here, but...
Maechan was Eichi’s stage actor. He recently got graduated even though he didn’t want to be...
He loves Eichi very very much and got StarFes Eichi (pts) about 12hrs into the event!!
(He’s also kind of small.)
