Manga:
Manga-version Aine-chan is a timid, shy girl who isn't very good at most of her school subjects except for Japanese. She doesn't seem to have many friends at school. One day when on her way to enter some song lyrics into a song competition, she is almost run over by a guy in a red sports car. It's Sakuya, lead singer of Λucifer. He sees Aine-chan and immediately claims her as HIS. He gives her a pass to the next Λucifer concert, and pockets the lyrics for himself. Aine is very intimidated by Sakuya. His actions are very bold and sexual, and Aine can barely keep up with him. She will occasionally assert her opinions, but Sakuya is the one in charge. He helps Aine with 'inspiration' for her sexy song lyrics :) The whole manga centers on Aine and Sakuya's relationship.

Anime:
In the anime, Aine-chan doesn't show up until halfway through the series! Λucifer has gone through a lot to become a popular band when Sakuya finally meets Aine after almost running her over with his motorcycle. Aine's personality is still shy, but she is not nearly as spineless as she seems in the manga. Aine is a very lonely girl. Her parents are never home, and when they are, they argue a lot and ignore her. At school, she has a boyfriend, but he is rude to her, and is just using her to do his homework for him. She does have two girls who are friends, but they are so carefree and band-crazy, that she doesn't feel much of a connection with them. To fill her loneliness, Aine-chan writes a song that she puts her emotions into. After meeting Sakuya, she leaves her lyrics behind by mistake. He finds them and becomes interested in Aine. Once she is recruited as Λucifer's songwriter, she works hard to write music for them. Her relationship with Sakuya builds MUCH more slowly. They actually go places, do thing, get to KNOW one another before they become a 'couple'. This is much more healthy, I think :) Aine isn't intimidated by him like she is in the manga.
