Ranko Mannen

Ranko Mannen is one of the main characters of the Akiba Maid War anime series. Returning to Akihabara after a long period, the former maid is mature and does not smile easily. Ranko has deep dark purple hair in a bob cut and violet color eyes. She wears the Oinky Doink Café Maid outfit with long black stockings and black high-heeled shoes. Ranko is a serious woman who always holds a neutral, if not, threatening, expression. Her stoic manner isn't quite popular with the customers, but that doesn't stop Ranko from being a professional. Where she lacks in her maid skills, she makes up for her assassin-like gun work. She is a duel pistol user, and her combat power is extremely high, able to take out an entire maid staff by herself. She always carries a stern, professional demeanor, whether serving patrons at the café or gunning down rival maids. She doesn't get upset when people insult her, but she gets offended they insult the café or her fellow staff. Underneath her stoicism, it is implied that she seems to suffer from survivor's guilt. Ranko has openly stated that she's distrustful of people, does not care for her life as long as she can serve her café, and had given up at happiness when she signed into the maid life. This comes to a head in Episode 10 after the reveal that Nagi was the one who got her beloved mentor killed, causing Ranko to let out an expression of both rage and betrayal.
