Seven Senses of the Re'Union (Japanese: 七星のスバル, Hepburn: Shichisei no Subaru, lit. "Subaru of the Seven Stars") is a Japanese light novel series written by Noritake Tao and illustrated by Booota. Seven volumes have been published by Shogakukan since August 2015 under their Gagaga Bunko imprint. An anime television series adaptation by Lerche aired from July to September 2018.[1][2]

Plot

In 2034, in the globally popular MMORPG "Union", there was once a top group of players named Subaru, made of six elementary school friends. However, once one of their members passes away inside the game, Union ended service. Six years later, a new game called "Re'Union" is launched, with similar mechanics, and when Haruto, one of Subaru's original members, meets Asahi, his partner who died six years before, the members of Subaru gather once again to uncover the mystery behind it.

Characters

Haruto Amō (天羽 陽翔, Amō Haruto)
Voiced by: Kengo Takanashi[3]
Haruto is a Fighter and was the leader of guild Subaru. An optimist during his childhood, he has lived a hollow life after Asahi's death six years ago. His Sense is "Fighting Spirit" (闘気, Tōki) which allows him to manipulate the aura of both offense and defense inside him.
Asahi Kuga (空閑 旭姫, Kuga Asahi)
Voiced by: Nichika Ōmori[3]
Asahi is a rear guard member of Subaru who is always seen with smile on her face. She died from heart failure right after her in-game character dies, leading to the closure of Union. Her Sense is "Heart Play" (心奏, Shinsō) which works on people's emotions and minds.
Satsuki Usui (碓氷 咲月, Usui Satsuki)
Voiced by: Akari Kitō[3]
Satsuki is a mage of Subaru who has feelings for Haruto and often tries to convey them to him but her attempts go unnoticed. She is good friend's with Asahi but is jealous of her close association with Haruto. In episode 9, she confesses her affections for him and tells him to come up with a decision by the time for a dance. Haruto appeared and apologized as she realized he has chosen Asahi and isn't too surprised.
Takanori Mikado (御門 貴法, Mikado Takanori)
Voiced by: Kaito Ishikawa[3]
The sub leader of Subaru who has feelings for Asahi. While Takanori is intelligent, like Haruto he was oblivious to the affections of his friend Nozomi and was shocked that he never noticed her behavior.
Clive Vivali (クライヴ=ヴィヴァリー, Kuraivu Vivari)
Voiced by: Takuma Terashima[4]
The only foreign member of Subaru.
Nozomi Kusaka (日下 希, Kusuka Nozomi)
Voiced by: Yumiri Hanamori[4]
A shy and introverted girl of Subaru who has feelings for Takanori. When Satsuki and Haruto find her, they caught up and she was informed Asahi was alive in the game but didn't believe it and refused to play the game since she stopped doing so. She later played and found Takanori dancing with Satsuki and believed they were now a couple, which devastated her to the point where she joined evil mages. Nozomi became so unhinged and disturbed that she cursed Asahi after seeing she was alive. In episode 11, she fights Takanori who confronted her alone before informing her of the misunderstanding that he and Satsuki were rejected by Asahi and Haruto respectively and were comforted each other. Nozomi felt guilt at her mistake and the deeds she had done, as Takanori cured her while apologizing for not acknowledging her and promising to do so now.
Elicia (エリシア, Erishia)
Voiced by: Chika Anzai[4]
A mysterious girl who appears before Subaru members and seems to know about Asahi's appearance in Re'Union. Elicia is later revealed to be the seventh member of Subaru, in episode 12, which also discusses why there are Seven Stars on Pleiades.
