OVA
Description
Manami Kusunoki is a 16-year-old VG Tournament contender from Japan's Hyogo Prefecture. She balances her tournament ambitions with part-time work as a waitress at Fujiya restaurant, adjacent to a carnival—an environment reflecting her playful spirit. Her drive to win the competition's cash prize stems from supporting her ailing mother and younger siblings.
Physically, she stands 143 cm tall and weighs 34 kg, with a slim build, green eyes, and ankle-length pink twin tails accented by spiky bangs. Her blood type is O, and her birthday falls on March 3. During fights, she typically sports a maid uniform, cat-eared headband, ribbon tie, and signature cat-paw gloves.
Her personality merges authentic childlike energy with strategic cunning. She often behaves as if half her age—bubbly, mischievous, and prone to tantrums—yet weaponizes this facade to lull opponents into complacency. She unabashedly admires and gropes larger-breasted individuals like fellow fighter Yuka Takeuchi. Her tactical mischief includes manipulating rivals; for instance, she once tricked foreign fighter Elena into battling Yuka instead of herself to advance unscathed.
In combat, she employs her self-designed "Kodomo No Kenka" style, exploiting her agility, small frame, and vivid imagination. Signature techniques include the **Neko Rocket Punch** (launching retractable cat-paw gloves), the **Gorogoro Attack** (a rolling somersault), and the **Ultra Gorogoro Attack** (a tiger-like pounce). She wields ballet shoes as auxiliary weapons, favoring unpredictability—dodging projectiles via rolls, distracting foes with acrobatics, or evading attacks by slipping out of her dress mid-motion.
Notable combat feats showcase her resilience: enduring Yuka Takeuchi's energy blasts and Jun Kubota's strikes, surviving explosions and structural collapses. She displays subsonic speed, matching ninja-trained adversaries and reacting to electrical projectiles. Beyond physical prowess, she psychologically manipulates enemies by feigning weakness before landing decisive counters.
Outside the arena, she savors sweets like her mother’s cookies and ice cream, reads picture books, enjoys films, and practices cosplay. She harbors dislikes for ghosts, goblins, and green peppers. Despite self-centered tendencies, she aids allies—helping Jun overpower the mind-controlled Chiho Masuda.
Her character remains consistent: a comic yet strategic fighter whose "immature" persona veils resourcefulness, anchored by familial duty. No significant backstory expansion or long-term development alters her role as a lighthearted, cunning contender.
