The seme is the one who pursues the uke. In stereotypical terms, the seme tends to be taller/older/richer, etc. sort of more "masculine" (although I really dislike these gender normative assumptions.) Anyway -- the uke tends to be shorter, shy, etc. See Dean and Pharm from UWMA for a very classic seme/uke couple.

difference between Uke and Seme by mqytiff on DeviantArt
Still can't figure out who's the Uke and who's the Seme here. The true answer is that it's none of our business. However I see the two of them being switches with Mya-chan taking the seme role first. Yes!!! A thousand times yes!!! Mya-chan would definitely take the lead first, but in the end, they're both switches. It's still up in the air.
