About Manami

     This cute little troublemaker of V.G. who is in the tournament just for the hell of it. She has a very silly (but annoying) style of fighting and is equipped with "Neko Gloves" which give her a long reach (She learned this from a particular 1970s robot anime :) She calls this the "Neko Rocket Punch". She still has trouble catching the gloves as they keep hitting her face on the way back!

     Manami likes to tease just about everyone (or preferably insult her opponents in battle and is very good at it). For some reason, Manami has a very strange habit of grabbing round objects (she always mess with Yuka when given the chance).

     Like many young girls, Manami is also very fond of sweets from Ice Cream to very large cakes (Yuka always makes them at least 24 inches). In her pastime, she visit carnivals very frequently (Manami hopes to have her own dream carnival one day).

     Even though Manami is an insolent little brat that acts about half her age, she has a lot of talent as a ballet dancer, idol singer, cosplayer, and of course a VG fighter. Even for a kid, she has a lot of friends (mostly V.G. contestants such as Yuka, Jun, Kaori, etc) who Manami refers to them as their big sisters.

Fujiya

     Her restaurant is build right next to a big carnival, so there is also a place for fun and entertainment, before or right after a big meal.

     Jun frequently orders take out from Manami's restaurant. Mainly because of her fondness for the stuffed animals at the nearby carnival.

Advanced V.G.

     She is an idol loved by adoring fans around her. Yuka just couldn't believe that she had to fight someone so silly and immature.

Advanced V.G. 2

     Manami ends up being the second youngest competitor after Tamao's debut. Tamao sees her at a carnival where she wins enormously large stuffed animals. Manami was having a good time.

     At one point, Manami ends up fighting Tamao and insults her saying that her fighting ability is useless (Note: Tamao cannot use special moves during that battle.)

     In another story, a sudden tradegy at the carnival caused the place to be destroyed.

     Manami looked at the carnival in ruins and was upset. She couldn't believe that her favorite place was completely destroyed. Elirin and Ayako just happen to be there and they decided to help her out by rebuilding the carnival of her dreams.

(Another Story) Variable Geo OVA/Anime

     Manami made friends with Yuka (who she surprised at first in a very weird way) and Jun during the tournament. While they were being attacked by Elirin's gang, Jun was surprised by what Manami can do with her paws (there must be a piece of metal inside). Most of the time Manami was saving their behinds with this surprise attack (Manami can be very sneaky sometimes).

V.G. OVA Seiyuu: Ohtani Ikue

     Rio Hinayama from the To Heart anime (I have seen all the episodes in case you are wondering). Another one that is worth mentioning is Yukina Shiratori from Nadesico.

     Also she plays the voice for Momoyama Ai from the Sega Saturn game Pretty Fighter X and SS/PSX game FIST. She plays the youngest girl fighter, 14 yrs old, but Ai is more mature than Manami. 

V.G. Game Seiyuu: Araki Kae

     There is a lot of kawaii anime and games for this one. Minnie May from Gunsmith Cats and Felicia from the Vampire Hunter (Darkstalker) Games. For me personally, I really like Miaka Yuuki from Fushigi Yuugi.
