i just watched the insomnia mv and saw your post about fuchi sunao, ive been a casual enjoyer of eves stuff for a long time now but i didnt know there was deeper lore! id love to get more into it but dont really know where to start, though i do know of kara no kioku and plan to read it. you mentioned there being comics of sunao, do u know how i could find them? id love to see more of him after the mv

aha no problem!

if you’re interested in more of the universe outside of sunao, there’s also a light novel with a manga adaptation for how to eat life! it’s not the same story as the how to eat life mv (though it’s still about tobi, and takes place before knk and the music videos). you can read it on mangadex. i think the light novel it’s based on has a couple different fan translations floating around too :]

i assume you’ve already listened to most of eve’s music, but just in case: the music videos for how to eat life, fight song, tokyo ghetto, dramaturgy, literary nonsense and outsider all take place in the same universe and have a few references that you can spot in the manga, so it’s worth checking them out.

finally listened to insomnia by eve and it's SO good. definitely at least top 10 in my eve song ranking now.

my question is: what's the lore? i looked up the tags and there's a new eve guy (fuchi sunao?) and apparently eve posted comics of him but idk where to find them. and there's no mv but we might get one at some point?

anyway I am so invested please give me the rundown.

This is gonna need a lot of context but bear with me for a second bestie I’m gonna go in some tangents but it’s gonna make sense I promise

Idk if you are aware but Insomnia is gonna be animated by a person called Mariyasu, this artist has worked for Eve several times on the MVs for Inochi no Tabekata, Shinkai, Fight Song and (soon) Insomnia. Knowing this is relevant bc now I have to tell you about Tobi Otogiri. You are asking about the lore so I have to do a quick rundown on him assuming you don’t know who he is but if you already know about him you can skip the next paragraph

Tobi is the protagonist of Inochi no Tabekata and Fight Song as well as the deuteragonist of a manga called Kara no Kioku and also the protagonist of his own manga/light novel Inochi no Tabekata (same name as the song), you can tell by now he’s insanely popular in the Eve fandom, so much so Mariyasu started making silly little comics about his daily life or just funny situation he could find himself in

That last part is important bc after the Insomia trailer dropped, Mariyasu started dropping comics about Sunao Fuchi who’s gonna be the protagonist of said MV and in most of them you get bits of info about him; however what’s funny about this is that Tobi appears in some of them too, there’s even a comic of them being compared to each other. I’m explaining you all this bc it is believed as of now that they may know each other lore wise and people are expecting Tobi to appear in the MV and be part of Sunao’s story or something like that

So far there’s no lore on Sunao more than what’s been shown in those comics but if you are curious all of Eve’s MVs are filled with lore and some others are even connected to each other and the manga I mentioned earlier. Eve’s world has a lot to offer so if you liked Insomnia and don’t know more of his work it totally recommend you to check it out while you wait for the Insomia MV to drop!

Btw you can find those Sunao’s comics on Eve’s Official Twitter! You’ll have to scroll for a bit tho

I hope this was somehow helpful 🫡

OOO TYSM AAAAAAAA!! I knew about Tobi (I like Kara no Kioku but I'm not caught up on the manga, and I love How to Eat Life and Fight Song as well as most of Eve's other songs and mvs) but I didn't know Fuchi Sunao was connected to him!! that's so cool!! ty for giving me the run-down!

[tobisun]

this account has also been translating the comics, if you want to see them in english! you’ll have to scroll a bit (again) to get to them. i think there’s three tweets in total?

also important to mention that one of the main reasons people think tobi will appear in insomnia is that one of the teasers eve posted shows sunao getting a call with tobi’s name as the caller ID

[tobisun]

i made an edit(?) to see how short rei would be compared to sunao (by using tobi as a measuring stick) and… lol

how to eat life / いのちの食べ方

[tobisun]

it was really smart of eve and mariyasu to release all of these comics of sunao before the insomnia mv comes out, because now they’ve got me horribly attached to him right before they make him Go Through It in the mv

i love how to eat life so much. it’s about self destruction. it’s about self hatred. it’s about some abstract concept of ‘self’. you’re not good enough to warrant wasting food on so you eat yourself instead. it’s about watching a monster kill everything in its path and seeing yourself in it. it’s about taking in the little girl that crawls out of its corpse because the way she destroys everything around her reminds you of yourself. it’s about being undeserving but not being able to stop taking and taking and still wanting more. it’s about looking in the mirror and seeing only a thing with a penchant for violence. it’s about the color orange.
