Tilcolity Eyes

Tilcolity Eyes is a romance visual novel series set in the entertainment industry, where love triangles form around the side effects of supernatural abilities. About 30% of people are ability users, many of whom work in show business. The three Tochi sisters are ability users who each pursue a career in entertainment. Their shared power temporarily boosts another person’s ability, but it also makes that person fall under the user’s influence.

Three stories

The series follows each sister through a different entertainment-industry relationship:

• Vol. 1: Actor, rookie actress and agency president: Sakura, the youngest sister, joins a film shoot at her university as an extra. When the lead actress disappears with a man she has been secretly dating, agency president Masato Onozawa chooses Sakura to replace her. She makes her acting debut opposite popular young actor Tomohiro Midorikawa.
• Vol. 2: Model, photographer and senior photographer: Natsume, the second sister, works hard as an assistant to senior photographer Yosuke Mochizuki. When she is assigned to photograph model Wataru Senba, she cannot capture his appeal. Wataru suggests that she first learn what it is like to be photographed, leading to three months of living together. Yosuke lives next door.
• Vol. 3: Idol, manager and idol: Aoi, the eldest sister, manages popular idol Hikaru Sakakibara and spends her days keeping up with his demanding work. After helping Yu, a cross-dressing idol who appears on a music show with Hikaru, Yu takes an interest in her. Yu wants to form a group with Hikaru; the two are twin brothers who create the limited-time unit Twin Stars. As Yu grows more dissatisfied with Hikaru, he tells Aoi he wants her to be his manager alone.

The Tochi sisters

The three stories centre on the sisters’ work and relationships in show business, where their ability’s side effect complicates attraction and creates love triangles. Each volume focuses on a different pairing of entertainment roles, from acting to photography and idol management.
