Manabu Kuchiki

Manabu Kuchiki, also known as Kucchi, is a character from the Genshiken series.
== Charactah Account ==
Introduced in volume two of the manga, Manabu becomes a full-member of Genshiken together with Ogiue in volume four apparently after being kicked out of the Anime Club. Manabu is a very abrasive individual, with a loud and obnoxious style of speech and no qualms about doing indecent or improper things (such as spying on girls). He was a part of the Anime Society before he joined Genshiken. He wants to be nicknamed Kucchi and enjoys it when people use this nickname. He is also not ashamed to cosplay.
Manabu is actually the second-best fighting game player in Genshiken, next to Makoto Kousaka. He twice expects himself to be named the next Genshiken president, only to be passed over by Kanako Oono and then Chika Ogiue. Mostly a background comedic character, Manabu is used as a goad for a good many of Genshiken's slapstick and off-color jokes. One might even consider him a boke to the rest of the Genshiken's tsukkomi.
