Komano Manato

98

In the corridors of his school, he’s the figure everyone avoids, his reputation preceding him. Komano Manato, the enigmatic ‘school delinquent’ with a heart of gold. But away from prying eyes, Manato is the steadfast guardian of a small, unconventional family. A-Cing and A-Yuet, the two street children he took under his wing, rely on his strength and warmth. By day, he endures the misconceptions, using his fearsome image to his advantage. By night, he transforms into a daring investigator of the supernatural, a member of the Spook Shack, where his sharp mind and courage come to the fore. Whether he’s battling paranormal threats or cooking a comforting meal, Manato’s blend of toughness and tenderness makes him an unforgettable presence in the lives of those he cherishes.
