Rumiko Manbagi

Rumiko Manbagi is a student at Itan Private High School, and beginning with her debut in Year 2, surpasses Najimi Osana as the tritagonist of the series. Manbagi is a cheerful gyaru girl who, like Komi, initially had a hard time making friends, but soon befriended Komi. She is the 28th of Komi’s friends, and is arguably Komi’s best friend aside from their mutual crush, Tadano Hitohito. Manbagi is a manba-styled gyaru girl with tanned skin, bleached light blonde hair and a very girly fashion sense. She's introduced in ridiculous, heavy makeup, but once that's removed, she is revealed to have a naturally beautiful face. She has shoulder-length, wavy blonde hair, a dark complexion, and a curvy figure. Manbagi had a short, black bob haircut and fair skin when she was in middle school. In Chapter 204, it was revealed that her height and weight are 158.3 cm and 52.8 kg respectively. After her very short relation with Hitohito, she's got a new "move forward" haircut in chapter 327, now being a short bob cut. Manbagi is a cheerful, friendly girl who easily gets along with people once she becomes friends with them. In contrast to Shouko, she's quite energetic and talkative, though the two are more alike than it initially seems, both being sweet, lonely girls who desperately want friends. She seems somewhat naive and insecure, believing that her heavy makeup is what makes her pretty and thinking she doesn't compare to Komi. Manbagi has a tsundere-like personality, as she can be harsh on Tadano because she's shy about the feelings she developed for him after he called her cute. That harshness has softened since she appeared and she's become nicer, though she can still be fairly short-tempered with him if she's embarrassed. During the time that Manbagi shared with Tadano in 2nd year, she developed romantic feelings for him, which ended up in an internal conflict for her since Komi also likes the same person that she likes. Albeit that Manbagi felt heartbroken for Tadano's rejection. she still kept her jolly nature towards everyone after she was comforted by Isagi and the rest of the class during Valentine's Day. As a result of her unrequited love with Tadano, she allegedly seems to not to completely move forward from these feelings towards him, which is probably why Manbagi started to have a somewhat passive-aggresive behaviour towards Hitohito, which can be noted after she said that her new haircut was because him, when she mentions that he has a selective like for girls with slanted eyes or claiming that it's too early for Komi and Tadano to be coupling up at school. Because of this unsolved conflict for her and Taketoshi's love confession after Summer Festival, Manbagi had more insecurities about if she can really be liked by someone else, however, she's yet to think about her feelings and see if she can reciprocate Taketoshi.
