Description
Lunar Edomae, formally named 江戸前 留奈 (Edomae Runa), is a merfolk with a family name evoking Edo Bay (modern Tokyo Bay) and a personal name contrasting Sun Seto’s solar motif through lunar associations. She features pink hair, pink eyes, and a yellow mermaid tail. As a student at Isono Junior High School, she dons its uniform. Water contact forces her legs to revert involuntarily to a tail, necessitating drying to regain human form.
Her personality displays histrionic traits and bipolar-like oscillations between a fabricated idol persona and her true self. Publicly, she performs as a saccharine, benevolent pop idol, weaponizing her mermaid voice to manipulate audiences. Privately, she reveals psychopathic, domineering, and arrogant tendencies. She exhibits extreme entitlement, labeling her supportive host family—the Michishios—as "slaves" and exploiting figures like her manager Maki to sustain fame. This stems from profound familial neglect: her mother, Amano Sagami, abandoned the family when Lunar was five, while her socially inept father engaged in inappropriate bonding through cross-dressing and stalking, deepening her emotional void. Her idol career partly functions to lure her mother’s attention via television exposure.
Lunar’s rivalry with Sun Seto ignited in childhood after Sun bested her in a singing contest, fueling both a superiority complex and latent inferiority. She relentlessly seeks to eclipse Sun, initially interpreting Sun’s bond with Nagasumi Michishio as boastful and retaliating by coercing Nagasumi into servitude after he discovers her mermaid identity. She subsequently infiltrates the Michishio household, ostensibly to perpetuate her rivalry but gradually nurturing genuine affection for Nagasumi—peaking in a foiled marriage proposal. Despite antagonism, she maintains a nuanced friendship with Sun, addressing her by name (a rarity) and sporadically revealing unguarded politeness.
Her character evolves throughout the series: exposure to school life and the Michishios’ familial stability diminishes her reliance on the idol facade, increasing public eruptions of anger or vulnerability. She cultivates growing respect for Nagasumi and warms toward humans overall, showing particular deference to Nagasumi’s mother. Residing with the Michishios, she adapts to domesticity, attempting to prepare lunches for Nagasumi and displaying unanticipated contentment within a structured home.
As a mermaid, she shares species-wide ailurophobia (fear of cats). Her singing voice exerts supernatural control over listeners, inciting violence through a "war song" or unleashing devastation via ultrasonic screams. She commands a personal army of male students from her school, locked in perpetual conflict with Sun Seto’s guards.
