Seika Ijichi (伊地知 星歌 Ijichi Seika) is the manager of the live house, STARRY[9] and the older sister of Nijika Ijichi.
Appearance[]
Seika has long blonde hair with floating triangle-like ahoge and orange eyes.[6]
She is commonly seen wearing a black wide-neck shirt revealing red shoulder straps, as well as a tight black choker around her neck.
Personality[]
Seika used to be a bandsman - a guitarist herself,[10] and her ability was such that the label talked about scouts. She sometimes hits Nijika and the members of Kessoku Band in her mouth,[11] but in reality, she thinks of Kessoku Band more than anyone else. Although she didn't know that Bocchi was "guitarhero", she was quick to realize her talent as a guitarist. She can be quite of a tsundere at times, especially when it comes to her little sister Nijika. For example, Nijika claimed that Seika opened Starry for her, even though Seika will never admit that. Also, it was known that she always saved a spot, wanting Kessoku Band to play even though she pretended she did not want them to. She also sleeps with her soft toys despite her age.
Seika is very proud, frank and serious, and can be strict and somewhat harsh on the band members, especially her sister, who calls her a jerk when annoyed by her tsundere mannerisms. Despite this, she is ultimately a kind person who has good intentions, and in the end her strict and aloof nature is, in her opinion, the way to make the band do the best they can.
Relationship[]
Nijika Ijichi[]
The pair of sisters did not always had a good relationship, as Seika didn't really like her during her teenage years, as Nijika always meddled in her musical activities, but after their mother died, Seika started to take her role as elder sister seriously. From then until now, Seika has always acted as Nijika's guardian.
Being an older sister, Seika would be expected to care for Nijika's wellbeing, but due to Seika being bad in housework and cooking (on top of her busy job as STARRY's manager), Nijika is the one usually doing the chores. When it comes to music, Seika has always a lot to teach to Nijika due to her experience, but her way of conveying advice is sometimes quite poor, causing Nijika to interpret it the wrong way, despite her being usually proven right after.
Hitori Gotoh[]
Bocchi relation with Seika is mainly just an employer-employee relationship as Bocchi is in STARRY as a part-time worker, but Seika does care about her wellbeing at times.
Seika also recognizes Bocchi's talent and potential since she saw the band's audition and tried to encourage her to expand her potential, but due to Seika always being bad in communicating her intention nicely (in addition of her initial lukewarm impression by Bocchi), Bocchi always thought about it the wrong way
Kikuri Hiroi[]
Seika was a senior of Kikuri in college, and her band is also an inspiration of Kikuri trying out music. However once Kikuri started getting involved in bands, Seika's band broke up, shocked her. Kikuri also described Seika as even more scummy from what she have been now.
They remained close until now, with Kikuri even crashed her house some times to borrow her shower. Seika always reprimanded her of her bad lifestyle and even barred her from performing in STARRY, but still care about her wellbeing otherwise.
