## Background

Mikhail had a crush on a woman named Sumire, who was the housekeeper for his family. He developed the crush mainly due to her kind and caring nature and would make advances towards her, which she would be openly embarrassed about. After finding out that Sumire liked male idols, specifically étailes, he decided to become an idol in the hopes that he could win her heart.

## Relationships

### Raion Gotou

Raion appears to be closest to Mikhail as compared to the rest of the étailes members. He originally thought that Mikhail was trying to befriend him because of his family’s reputation and wealth but was quickly rebutted when Mikhail explained that he had rich parents so he didn’t have the need to do something like that. Raion is shown to be more *tsundere* when Mikhail teases him.

### Sumire

Sumire is the woman that Mikhail has a crush on and is also the housekeeper for Mikhail’s family. Mikhail is shown to frequently flirt with her in his prologue comics though she doesn’t reciprocate.

### Roland Seto

Roland is the older brother of Mikhail. Mikhail doesn’t seem to be very fond of him.
