Multi-Character Tropes

Nagasumi & Sun

Nagasumi Michishio

A high school student from Saitama who nearly drowned during his holiday at Setouchi. He was rescued by Sun and subsequently had to marry her so neither would be executed for breaking the Masquerade.

Sun Seto

The daughter of Gozaburo & Ren Seto, the leaders of the Seto Clan. She saved Nagasumi's life, but in doing so broke the mermaid's code of secrecy. Rather than having one of them die, Sun went with a third option in marrying him.


Classmates

Mawari Zenigata

  • The Beast Master: She can summon a horde of cats with a whistle. These are beasts in the eyes of merfolk. Also subverted because though she can summon them she can't really control them.

--Chimp: I had no idea Mawari had gotten so good at controlling caaatttssss!

Hideyoshi Sarutobi (Saru)

Lunar Edomae

  • Always Second Best: Feels this way about herself in comparison to Sun because Sun always beat her in singing contests growing up.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Her stage persona is Kawaiiko to appeal to fans. If you dig beneath that she's a Jerkass, but if you dig beneath that (as Sun, Nagasumi and Nagasumi's mom did) she's sweet again.
  • But Not Too Foreign
  • Expy: She is similar to Etna in appearance and personality.
  • Has a Missing Mom.
  • Idol Singer: Number 1 in Japan. She did it to prove her superiority to Sun.
  • Instant Fanclub: Deconstructed. Her fan club already existed before she enrolled in Nagasumi's school. It just wasn't militarized yet.
  • It's All About Me: She thinks Sun married Nagasumi to flaunt this fact in her face, disregarding the whole 'marry into the mermaid family or die' thing.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She acts haughty and abrasive to everyone but there's a Nice Girl underneath it all.
  • Mafia Princess: Her dad is the head of the Edomae gang.
  • Magic Music: Her favorite is the "Song of War" Which turns its audience into mindless warriors.
  • Mistress and Servant Boy: She tries to force Nagasumi into one of these relationships.
  • Noblewoman's Laugh
  • The Ojou: From her dad's status and her own as a pop star she's treated like nobility.
  • Royal We: The only time she ever speaks in first person is when Nagasumi teaches her a lesson in humility.
  • Sakura Nogawa
  • Schoolgirl Rival: To Sun over singing contests, love interest, and their fan clubs.
  • Spell My Name with an "S": Lunar/Luna/Runa
  • Tsundere: Mellows in the second half of the series into this, for both Nagasumi and Sun. For the former, she'll openly flirt but violently deny actually liking him. For the latter we have this gem:

--We rearranged our schedule to see you, but don't get the wrong idea! Its not because we wanted to have fun with you!"

  • Unknown Rival: For Sun, who thinks they're best friends. They're Vitriolic Best Buds late in the series.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: With Sun, who is very important to her despite her protests.
  • Yandere: How much it was for Nagasumi's love and how much was to one-up Sun is up for debate but she certainly had extreme measures.
  • Zettai Ryouiki: Hers are black for the added contrast to Sun's white.

Maguro, Agitaro & Furiyo

  • Gonk: They look like real fish.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: One of them crossdresses in order to disguise himself and get close enough to deal with Nagasumi's cat. Unfortunately, everyone involved sees through it immediately, because it's kind of hard to disguise yourself when you look like this.
  • Those Three Guys
  • Verbal Tic: All three of them have the exact same one, gyo!
