==History==
===Midsummer Beach Hut Drowning Case===
Manba and his two friends went to Natsukaze Beach to surf. There, Manba bought something from the beach hut and got a stomachache because of it. He got into a fight with the beach hut owner.
At ten p.m., Manba decided to confront the beach hut owner again after drinking a lot with his friends. He passed out in front of Summer House. The beach hut owner found him there, put a dry suit on him, and tied him to a raft he had created by combining multiple ice cubes with salt. The owner let Manba float out to sea. The ice eventually melted, and Manba fell into the ocean. He clung to the remaining bit of the ice raft and got chilblains from that. After the raft completely melted, Manba drowned; this happened sometime between two and three a.m.
His corpse was later discovered by Mofu Usaki between some rocks by the beach.
