芹ケ野 真夏

The son of the local small store owner, Manatsu delivers ingredients to Ponpokorin. He looks forward to having a leisurely chat with Gin over tea that the latter brewed after making the deliveries. As Manatsu is young and at the ripe age for marriage, he's troubled by the neighbourhood elderly's suggestions that he attend matchmaking meetings ("omiai"). Since he's a good listener, he's often a confidant of the ayakashi.[Translation of his official website character profile.]
