Manako/Relationship

This page deals with Manako's interactions with the other characters.

Kimihito Kurusu
Manako seems to be slightly indifferent or a bit intimidated by Kimihito, acting somewhat nervous around him. During her date with him, she keeps her distance from him as she claims to not do well with crowds as well as having bad depth perception. She wonders if Kimihito is genuinely a nice or kind person as other claim he is, recounting an experience in which Humans becoming visibly disturbed when speaking to her. She asks him, being professional and calling him by his real name "Kurusu", to look at her, believing that he too may be disturbed by her, but was surprised to see that he was looking at her as if she was normal causing her to become very flustered and embarrassed. She claims that her date was a bite embarring because he was the first human to treat her like a normal girl, but seems quite grateful and glad by his genuine kindness.

Kimihito seems to think that Manako is somewhat hopeless due to being far away from him and crashing into objects during their date, but tries to put her comfort and needs first knowing how nervous she can be. He understands how self-conscious she is about herself and as such tries to make her feel like a normal girl, not minding what she is.

During their second date in Chapter 42, he helped her overcome her fear of being in crowded public places by taking her to a festival while wearing a mask. Since she enjoyed it Manako asked him if they could do it again.

Kuroko Smith
Manako generally gets along well with Ms Smith, although like many others, Manako is often annoyed by her laziness. However, unlike Zombina and Doppel, Manako is much less overt about it and generally remains calm. She also didn't seem to have any glee in Chapter 13, unlike the other girls of the M.O.N team after they refused to nurse Ms Smith with her cold after she let them do her paperwork for her.

Bicycle Police Officer
Since the M.O.N often works with the police, Manako and the police officer know each other, but only fleetingly. He seemed startled by the sight of Manako's eye in Chapter 15.

Police Chief
Since the M.O.N often works with the police, Manako and the police chief know each other, but only fleetingly.

Kasegi
Manako and Kasegi haven't actually interacted with each other, but due to her work at the M.O.N, Manako knows about the scandal with Rachnera and therefore considers Kasegi as an enemy.

Neighborhood Kids
Manako has only interacted with the girls among the neighborhood kids so far, but overall their relationship seems to be good. In Chapter 42, Manako showed the girls how to win a goldfish at the festival by scooping goldfish.

Ren Kunanzuki
Due to her work at the M.O.N, Manako knew about the scandal with Rachnera, but didn't learn the name of Rachnera's original host family. However, in Monster Musume: Monster Girls on the Job!, Manako was sent to Cafe Marsha along with Centorea, where she first met Ren. Manako was shocked to learn from Kimihito Ren's connection to the incident, but apart from that, she seems to be getting along with her.

Miia
Manako doesn't generally interact much with Miia, but they get along with each other.

Papi
Manako doesn't generally interact much with Papi, but they get along with each other.

Centorea Shianus
Manako doesn't generally interact much with Centorea, but they get along with each other.

She was assigned surveillance duty on the date between Kimihito and Centorea to find out the culprit. Manako was somewhat scared when the centaurine shouted at her through the phone.

In Chapter 29, Manako was totally shocked to learn that Centorea's chest measurement was more than 103 cm compared to her own rather modest chest measurement.

Suu
Manako doesn't generally interact much with Suu, but they get along with each other.

Meroune Lorelei
Manako doesn't generally interact much with Mero, but they get along with each other.

Rachnera Arachnera
Due to her past with Kasegi, the members of the M.O.N team attempted to arrest Rachnera, although the situation was eventually resolved. Since then, Rachnera and Manako seem to get along, but they also don't interact often with each other.

Lala
Manako doesn't generally interact much with Lala, but they get along with each other.

Tionishia
Manako and Tionishia have a very good relationship with each other both as team members at the M.O.N and as friends.

Zombina
Manako gets on very well with Zombina as a team member of M.O.N and as a friend, although Manako is often the target of Zombina's pranks due to her clumsiness. However, as seen in Chapter 42, Zombina can also be very protective of Manako if she thinks that others are trying to harm her.

Doppel
Manako gets on very well with Doppel as a team member of M.O.N and as a friend, although Manako is often the target of Doppel's pranks due to her clumsiness. However, as seen in Chapter 42, Doppel can also be very protective of Manako if she thinks that others are trying to harm her.

Draco
In Episode 9, Manako helped to captured Draco after the Dragonewt girl tried to grope Miia.

This interaction only happened in the anime, in the manga Manako and Draco have never interacted with each other.

Lilith
In an attempt to make Centorea and Kimihito her playthings, Lilith manipulated/distracted Manako by predending to be a child that was afraid of her one eye.

Centorea's Mother
Manako watched the tournament between Centorea and her mother in Chapter 29, but the two didn't really interact with each other.

Yuuhi Hajime
Manako didn't interact much with Yuuhi in general, but like all MON members she was happy that the girl is fine now. In Chapter 42 Manako showed Yuuhi and her friends how to win a goldfish by scooping goldfish at the festival.
