Maekami

Maekami (前紙) is one of the supporting characters in Obsolete Dream. He is a bartender who lives in Ne-no-Kuni and runs his own bar

Physical Description
Maekami has straight, short white hair and gray paper taped over his face. Though his face has never been fully shown, it can be seen in one artwork that he has dark blue eyes. His skin is fair and his nails are black.

He wears a formal white shirt, black vest, and long black pants. His horns are black, and the left one has what appears to be white tape probably holding a broken part of his horn to the rest of it; same goes for his tail.

In images seeming to be him in the past, he has long hair tied back in a ponytail.

Personality
Maekami is shown acting very respectful in his appearances, befittingly as he is a professional at his job. He carries himself with calmness and offers advice to his customers with troubles. His personal pronoun in Japanese is "boku".

Maekami addresses everyone with the Japanese honorific "-san" (equivalent to "Sir" or "Miss" in English). However, he makes one exception with this formality, namely when it comes to Anten, whom he addresses with no honorific as a result of a grudge. Maekami also seems to have a more violent side which comes out around Anten.

Background
Maekami used to work under Lil with Anten and Daimonji. At one point in the past, Maekami had his horn and tail damaged by Hanten, but holds Anten responsible for this. The details surrounding this incident have yet to be revealed.

Envi
Envi is Maekami's colleague. Not much else is currently known about their relationship.

Kurotsuno
Kurotsuno is one of Maekami's customers. They seem to be on relatively friendly terms. Maekami occasionally asks Kurotsuno of her relationship with her father, telling her how much Sullivan misses her and asking if she even feels sorry for him.

Hanten
Hanten is one of Maekami's customers. They seem to have a rough history, as there are several images in which Hanten is harassing him. One shows Hanten ripping off his mask and smashing a pie in his face, one has Maekami hiding from her with a wounded arm while Hanten is scanning in the background with a bloody knife, and another with Maekami stabbing her hand while she threatens him with a scythe.

In chapter 8 of Obsolete Dream, Anten mentions Hanten as being the one to damage Maekami's horn and tail, though Maekami blames him for it; why this is the case has yet to be revealed. Despite their history, Maekami remains cordial towards her, and calls her reliable in the same chapter.

Gyakuten & Sullivan
They are Maekami's customers. They have known each other since they were young. Maekami used to stop them when they had a fight.

Anten
Anten was Maekami's former colleague. Maekami has an extremely low opinion of him, comparing his snake form to a smear of filth on the ground after stabbing him. He thinks of Anten as "unreliable" and has no qualms about turning Anten into snake wine, as shown in chapter 8.5 of Obsolete Dream. Anten is furthermore the only character who Maekami addresses with no Japanese honorific, indicating further disrespect.

Anten is also said to be the one ultimately responsible for Maekami's broken horn and tail, despite Hanten apparently carrying out the physical deed. The details surrounding this incident have yet to be revealed.

Lil

Daimonji
Daimonji was Maekami's former comrade; he worries about him and wishes to tear apart the angel that hurt Daimonji in the past.
