"But honestly, everyone's such a warm and caring friend."
"Oh, and the part-time jobs they recommend are totally worth it!"
Agent Weapon
Though details about Komano Manato's Agent Weapon have not been released, the Higher Dimensional Data: Corrupted Dreamsteel resembles his weapon and is obtained by fighting his Miasmic Doppelganger, so it is possible that his weapon's name is Dreamsteel.

Agent Details
Komano Manato, a member of Spook Shack and an exceptionally reliable person. Having lost his family in the fall of the old capital, he grew up alone in Waifei Peninsula until the day he happened to adopt two street children, A-Cing and A-Yuet. Since then, the three have lived as a family, depending on one another. It may be a young household, but to Manato, nothing matters more than looking after them.
Manato is currently enrolled at a company affiliated school in the city, where rumors paint him as the terrifying "school delinquent." The label likely comes from his intimidating appearance, though in reality, he's far more soft-hearted and generous than he seems.
At first, Manato really did want to do something to clear up the misunderstanding about being a delinquent, but for various reasons, his efforts didn't make much of an impact. Still, his optimism soon led him to realize that the title wasn't all bad. It let him dodge unnecessary social events, live without being bothered by strangers, and even leverage the "delinquent" image to sniff out stories of school ghost tales, all while standing up for classmates suffering from actual bullying.
But when it comes to grades, he really does live up to the "school delinquent" label of a company affiliated school student.

At times, Manato's disarming honesty and friendly nature lead to unexpected trouble. Whenever he shows up at the market or anywhere crowded with locals, he can't help but draw attention. Cheerful shop owners, stall vendors, and neighbors passing by love slipping their finest items to him as presents, along with warm reminders of little everyday matters.
After his parents passed away, Manato quickly learned how to take care of himself. He became an excellent cook and could even mend the clothes A-Cing and A-Yuet tore while playing.
At his company affiliated school internship, Manato was also greeted with enthusiasm. In such an environment, his problem of not being able to hold back his strength proved to be the best support the miners could ask for.

"Ultimate Sincerity Skill" It doesn't even take much promotion — just by standing there and giving guests a simple rundown of the films, Manato could sell out every videotape... I guess that's the "air of honesty" that always seems to surround him. |
I don't really know much about promotional techniques... but I think... as long as you listen carefully to what others want, you can always find the right recommendations for them. |

Trivia
- The character on Manato's belt, 荒魂 Aratama/Ara Mitama, "Wild Spirit", is a reference to the Ara Mitama (Japanese: 荒魂), one of the fours subspirits of the 御霊 mitama, according to the concept of 一霊四魂 in Japanese Shintō.
- Ara Mitama refers to the rough and violent side of a spirit, which how a kami or the soul of a dead person first manifests; once it is pacified, the Nigi Mitama (Japanese: 和魂 "Gentle Spirit") can appear. The other two subspirits are Saki Mitama (Japanese: 幸魂 "Lucky Spirit") and Kushi Mitama (Japanese: 奇魂 "Miraculous Spirit").
- Manato's new online nickname, Aratama-maru (Japanese: 荒魂丸), is also a reference to this concept.
Etymology
- Komano Manato is a Japanese name, with the surname first and the given name second.
- The first kanji of his surname, 狛 koma, comes from komainu (Japanese: 狛犬), also known as lion dogs, which are the statues guarding the entrance to Shintō shrines.
- Komano Manato shares the same Korean voice actor, Seo Jung-ik (서정익), with Ororon in Genshin Impact.
