===Little Witch Academia (Keisuke Satō Manga)===
====Chapter 14====
Wangari is looking for potential news for LNN when she stumbles upon Lotte who just starts her tour around the academy with Annabel. Seeing Annabel apparently a new student thanks to Lotte transmogrified her clothes into Luna Nova uniform, she gaves her one of Luna Nova pamphlets knowing it will be useful for her.
====Chapter 16====
Wangari serves as the announcer for the interschool broom race between Luna Nova and a rival magic school, latter which represented by a familiar-looking headmistress and her four students. Unknown to her and the others present, the latter are actually disguised Woodward and dryads.
====Chapter 17====
Wangari, alongside Joanna and Kimberly, are as surprised as everyone else when the race takes an unexpected turn in which the newly recovered Diana forcibly enters the event in response of Miraj's theft of Shiny Rod, more so with the rival school headmistress' insistence of letting it proceed regardless.
==Relationships==
===Atsuko Kagari===
Wangari is shown to get along with Akko very well as confirmed in Chamber of Time game with her addressing the latter as 'Froggy' (alluding Akko's use of Frog Leg Juice Potion on her broom in order to hop around), much to the Japanese witch's chagrin. As shown in her Sub Events, Everyday Scoop and Wangari Ahoy!, Wangari appreciated Akko's help in finding intriguing stories for the school's newspaper and finding her missing pen respectively.
===Amanda O'Neill===
Wangari seemed to admire Amanda somewhat for her remarkable yet unorthodox broom flight style. This is shown when she interviews the young O'Neill prior to the race.
===Diana Cavendish===
Much like the other students at Luna Nova, she is shown to admire Diana, running towards her to interview her before the broom relay race started.
===Joanna and Kimberly===
Though their relationship has yet to be fully explored, it can be assumed that Wangari gets along with Joanna and Kimberly very well.
==Abilities and Equipment==
Though the full-extent of her magical skills has yet to be fully explored, it can be inferred that Wangari is a witch with average talent as with many of her peers, knowing how to use Magic Broom and cast spells with her wand. She also displayed decent knowledge pertaining Magic Brooms as well as tricks one can perform with it, if her surprised reaction in seeing Akko who hops around with her own broom that had been bewitched with Frog Leg Juice Potion was any indication.
