It’s time for the second instalment of our two-part series on Romance in Tales of Seikyu! We covered seven of our romanceable NPCs villagers in part one, and now it’s time to take a look at seven more eligible bachelors and bachelorettes.
Romance is one of the key features of Tales of Seikyu, and each character has their own unique personality, interests, and aspirations. No two villagers are the same, and it’s up to you to get to know them and decide which villager has captured your heart. There will be a total of 14 romanceable characters at 1.0, so let’s see if part two contains the person of your dreams!
······················•✦•······················
🎤 Yoni
The bright-eyed starlet who dreams of making it as an idol. Yoni is a deer Yokai who struggles to assert herself and seems to have an unusual relationship with Kababa, the manager of the casino. There’s no doubt that Yoni is talented, but her naivety makes her an easy mark for Seikyu’s less-savoury characters who’d happily exploit her hardworking nature for their own gains.
This people pleaser could really use some help with finding her confidence and setting some boundaries so that she can focus on making her dreams become a reality!

🔮 Anna
Anna is a quiet girl who works in the casino and has a far-off look in her eyes. With such a distant personality, getting to know this daydreamer won’t be easy, but could there be more to her than it seems? It’s hard to tell if Anna is purposefully evasive or simply too meek to make a connection, but one thing is for sure: she is yearning for something beyond her humble role at the casino.
It’ll take plenty of time and dedication to uncover Anna’s true nature, and there’s no telling what you might find when you do. Could you become a pair of star-crossed lovers or will your differences be enough to drive you apart?

👒 Miss. Ama
An elegant tailor with an air of celebrity about her – did you know that she used to be a famous actress? Miss Ama’s past is filled with drama, both on and off the stage. Perhaps this is why she chose to settle down in the sleepy village of Seikyu? Her shop sells only the finest garments and her skills with a sewing needle are second to none.
It’s true that Miss Ama is drawn to the finer things in life, and some might even describe her grandiose and melodramatic, but she isn’t as haughty as she lets on. Her time as a star has left her a little jaded and perhaps even closed off to relationships, but while she may have retired from acting, there could still be room for romance in her future if the right person comes along…

🎨 Liliana Shibata
Liliana is a gentle artist who loves painting flowers and spends her days searching for rare blooms to capture on canvas. She is Yohji’s twin sister with a similarly inquisitive personality, though she is far less interested in the politics of Seikyu. Instead, her curiosity is satiated by interacting with nature and getting to know the world around her.
Hungry for perfection, Liliana puts everything into her artwork and can be self-critical as a result. Her constant diligence doesn’t leave a lot of room for romance, but a little support and a push to paint for herself rather than the approval of others might be the way to win her heart.

📜 Leon Achyard
Leon is Seikyu’s priest and teacher. As he was once a great explorer, his travels, stories, and history are a thing of legend (and all of it has been immortalised in his best-selling autobiography “Adventures of Leon!”). With such a rich past behind him, he now uses his wealth and knowledge to help Yui manage the town – bringing both vitality and joy to Seikyu!
It is said that Leon’s stories are sometimes a little long-winded, and he can often become too wrapped up in his own research. However, he has a big heart and is passionate about maintaining harmony in Seikyu. He may be wise, but surely there is someone out there who can win his affections and teach this old sage a thing or two?
······················•✦•······················
🌊 Mika Fukuhara
Mika is a water-loving Yokai with long, lifeful hair, and a traditional sense of style. She runs the local spa in Seikyu – a place to relax and unwind after your adventures. There are rumours that the rejuvenating properties of the spa waters may have a hand in Mika’s radiance and youthful appearance, with her true age being unknown.
Though beautiful, Mika is a humble woman who doesn’t really put herself out there. Along with the mystery surrounding her age, not much is known about her Yokai form, and some even speculate that her beauty may be a ploy to distract from something frightful beneath the surface. Getting to know this mysterious beauty may not be risk-free, but it could lead to a truly rewarding romance!
······················•✦•······················
🔨 Sasaki
A kind and caring jokester who masks his anxiety with an easy-going personality. Sasaki runs the local furniture store, which he inherited from a kindly old lady who looked after him as a kid. Although it may be a little bit more than he can reasonably handle, he’ll always give it a go. He enjoys working with wood, which contrasts his somewhat clumsy nature.
An all-around good guy with a heart of gold, Sasaki is well-intentioned and uncomplicated. He tries his hardest to be self-sufficient to avoid being a burden or inconveniencing others, but he could really use a hand! Can you be the one to help him make sense of it all?

And that completes our Romance in Tales of Seikyu series! If you haven’t already, why not read part one here? We hope you have enjoyed getting to know the villagers as much as we’ve been enjoying developing their stories and personalities.
