Mayumi Dojima

Mayumi Dojima (瞳島 眉美, Dōjima Mayumi), also known as 'Mayumi the Seer,' is the main protagonist of the anime and manga series Pretty Boy Detective Club. After telling the members of the Pretty Boy Detective Club that she has been searching for a particular star for ten years, they vow to help her in her search.

Appearance
Appearance wise, Mayumi is a pale skinned, petite young girl with purple, armpit-length hair and occasional glistening strands that often stand out. She has purple eyes with white irises to match, often showing a bright purple star, which usually glisten in bright environments and are especially reflective against the galactic night sky. She dons the Yubiwa Academy Middle School uniform, consisting of a green blazer jacket, a white dress shirt with a black collar, a galaxy themed tie, a vertically striped black-and-white skirt, and black tights/ shoes.

She often wears glasses when indoors, but prefers to take them off when star-gazing.

Personality
Mayumi is an intelligent and rather sensible young girl. Whilst being notably hesitant towards the Pretty Boy Detective Club at first, she forms a strong bond with them as the series progresses. At the beginning of the series, she is saved by Manabu Sotoin after falling off the balcony she was using to star-gaze, though her reaction to this was rather anxious and quiet, especially as he brought his face up to hers for closer inspection. Mayumi is often rather introverted, not speaking much in group situations. However, when participating in conversations, she can sometimes go into large detail, taking note of past events and adding to things that have been brought up. She is passionate and usually takes care not to hurt other people's feelings, even when things seem to be entirely their fault. Whilst being able to control her feelings and emotions, she can often feel lost in the moment when star-gazing, using up large amounts of time to absorb the scenery. She also shows a particular hatred in people who think that they are beautiful, scolding the Pretty Boy Detective Club for constantly complimenting themselves and telling them that not everything will go their way just because they were a bit handsome.

Childhood
As a child, Mayumi had shown a great interest in the beautiful, star-filled sky that shone upon the land every night. At the age of four, she had gone on a family trip to the beach to celebrate her 4th birthday, which included swimming in the ocean, having a barbecue by the sea, and enjoying fireworks. Despite the various activities laid out for her, she couldn't take her eyes off of the starry night sky above her. She described a particular star that caught her interest - a bright star that stood out from the rest. She wanted so desperately to touch it for herself, and from that day forward she dreamed of becoming an astronaut. However, once returning from the field trip that had inspired her entire future, she had never once caught a glimpse of the same star, even after scanning the night sky countless times for ten whole years. Upon her entering middle school, her parents had confronted her and told her simply to "stop dreaming."

"PLAYING GAMES WILL STOP AT YOUR SECOND YEAR OF MIDDLE SCHOOL." Mayumi had made a promise to her parents to let go of her dream of becoming an astronaut by her second year of middle school, and by her 14th birthday she would put an end to her star search.

Introduction to Manabu
As Mayumi is star-gazing on the eve of her 14th birthday, she is startled by a curious Manabu, causing her to jump and fall off of the balcony she is using to view the night sky. She doesn't seem to fazed by this, as when turning to face the night sky she is dazzled by a beautiful array of stars, yet this is different from night sky she had hoped to see. However, upon falling she is aided by Manabu, who grabs hold of her hand before she can fall any further. Pulling her onto the balcony with him, she falls into his arms as they twirl in a romantic fashion, and in no time they reach the other side of the balcony. Bringing his face close to hers, he smiles and asks if Mayumi is okay, indicating that he has no bad intentions. She blushes and replies with a simple thank you as he allows her to stand upright.

Mayumi blushes yet again after Manabu compliments her beautiful eyes, which she proceeds to cover with her glasses. With a smile, she reveals that she is in fact looking for something, and requests his assistance. He gladly replies with a wide grin and a yes, before taking her by the hand and leading her to the Pretty Boy Detective Club headquarters.

Introduction to Pretty Boy Detective Club
The Pretty Boy Detective Club headquarters just so happens to be the school art room, which is fabulously adorned in all sorts of decor. Chandeliers hang from the ceilings and beautifully sculpted stone statues stand everywhere. Mayumi is awed by the scenery. Here, she is introduced to Michiru Fukuroi (or Michiru the Epicure), Nagahiro Sakiguchi (or Nagahiro the Orator), Hyota Ashikaga (or Hyota the Adonis), and Sosaku Yubiwa (or Sosaku the Artiste). Manabu later reveals himself to be the president of the club, Nagahiro being the vice president. With this, Mayumi is invited to have tea with the Pretty Boy Detective Club, though the aura is rather dull as they don't do much other than sit in silence. After a few quiet moments, Manabu goes on talking about how beautiful Mayumi's eyes are, encouraging the others to agree with him. This causes her to blush hard, though he only reacts by complimenting her modesty. This causes her to get very angry and reveal her hatred for pretty people. However, the members laugh this off, noting that this is typical behaviour of a client. Manabu explains why she is mistaken, stating that beauty isn't the whole point of the Pretty Boy Detective Club.

Shortly after this, Manabu questions what it is that Mayumi is looking for, causing her to reveal that she is in fact looking for a star, and has been for ten years. As the Pretty Boy Detective Club gladly accept her inquiry, she questions why they would take on such a "childish request". She later finds out that childish behaviour is necessary in order to be a part of the club. As Manabu informs her of the second rule of the Pretty Boy Detective Club - be a boy - she feels like she is told something very important, as if it was something she was "on the verge of losing".

The club then begin to make arrangements, arrangements for a helicopter that they would use to travel to the exact beach that Mayumi had went to on that fateful day she saw the star.

Arrival at the beach
Upon arrival, they ask her various questions that would help them find the star more easily. Manabu requests that they name the star "Sotoin" after him, thinking that more stars would mean more constellations. She later learns that the Pretty Boy Detective Club isn't just about being pretty and being a boy, hence the third and final rule being "be a detective". As Manabu and Nagahiro set up the telescope, she is called over by Michiru to help set up a barbecue. This is part of their plan to precisely recreate the camping trip, thus the reason Hyota (or Mr. Bare-legs, nicknamed by Mayumi) is frolicking near the shore in an attempt to imitate the way Mayumi played at the water's edge when she saw the star.
