**Manami "Supernova" Yamagishi** (愛実・スーパーノヴァ・山岸, *Manami Sūpānova Yamagishi*) is an antagonist of the Akiba Maid War anime series. She served as the Acting Representative of Maidalien Group.

## Appearance

Manami is a tall woman with long light blue hair with blunt bangs. She has bright blue eyes and wears light makeup. She is seen wearing a somewhat unkempt maid uniform from her maid job before prison.

## Personality

Manami is known as "Crimson Supernova" because of her brutish attitude and fierce fighting skills. She is always carrying around her red baseball bat.

She speaks in a strong Hiroshima dialect.

## Background

After seven years of imprisonment, Manami returned to Akiba, ready to re-take her spot as the best fighting maid. However, Ugaki, the current boss of Maidalien, is against violence, and Manami calls her soft for letting Wuv-Wuv Moonbeam get wiped out without revenge. Hence, she takes over the group herself and sought revenge on Oinky Doink Café, who annihilated Wuv-Wuv Moonbeam and declared war on them.

She is a successful maid who expanded the Maidalien Group's reputation by herself in the previous generation with her rough attitude. She has more affection for the Maidalien Group than anyone else and is obsessed with the "Akiba Big Bang" a full-scale war with the Creatureland Group. When Nerula betrays the group, Manami eliminates her in front of Nagomi Wahira.

A week later, Manami acts on her attack and takes a sizable crew of Maidaliens with her to finish off Oinky Doink Café. Despite Ranko, Zoya, and Yumechi's tactics, the numbers are not in their favor. However, Nagomi appears in her ninja outfit, using smoke bombs and kunai to ambush the enemy maids and even the odds. Manami is dragged away from the fight by Miyabi. Still, when Manami calls for reinforcements, she discovers that the leadership of Maidalien are entering a pact with Creatureland to cease all hostilities while hoping Manami's soldiers and Oinky Doink's staff kill each other off. Ranko and Nagomi track the wounded Manami to a nearby park, but Nagomi refuses to kill Manami, delivering a heavy slap instead and demanding she lives on as a maid.

Manami limps back to HQ. However, when she returns, Ugaki declares that she no longer follows her order, and Ugaki and the executives gun her down. Before she dies, she mutters, "It hurts to be alive," and falls into a pool of her own ​​blood. Her corpse was packed in a drum can and sunk in the sea by the hands of the executives.

Following the merger of the Maidalien and Creatureland groups, a formal funeral for Manami is held by Ugaki and the remaining members. A portrait of Manami and her red bat are displayed on the alter, as a few members express their anger about the merger, as well as the quality of Manami's funeral. A few moments later, the funeral is interrupted by Debt Collector who has forced Yasuko Yaegashi to attend and offer her condolences to the members. She then snickers when the Debt Collector informs her that the remaining members are being rebranded as the "Memory Lane Animal Cafe Axolotl", upsetting them even further. Before the members can attack Yasuko, Nagi arrives and declares that to make things even between the Oinky Doink Cafe and Memory Lane Animal Cafe Axolotl, they should play a game of baseball.

During the match, Kasumi, one of the Axolotl maids who looked up to Manami, uses her red bat and promises to hit one up to her in the heavens. But, due to Zoya's pitching ability, the bat is broken in half, causing Kasumi to scream and allowing Nagomi to catch the ball.

## Relationships

### Miyabi

Miyabi is Manami's subordinate, following the latter's leadership without question. She serves as backup to Manami when they're in a battle. Miyabi helps Manami flee Oinky Doink after they are overpowered and aides her bleeding leg in the park. Manami tells her to stop and leave, and Miyabi limbs away, dejected that Manami's plan didn't work.

Miyabi disguised as the Axolotl mascot of the rebranded Maidalien Group and stabs Kazue Ugaki to death in order to avenge Manami's death. Molly goes into a frenzy upon seeing Ugaki's death and immediately takes the dagger and kills Miyabi.

### Nerula

Nerula tries to warn Nagomi of Manami's orders to destroy Oinky Doink Cafe and tipping off a local policeman, but Manami and her aide Miyabi bribe the cop. Manami and Miyabi track down Nerula soon after finding out she was the mole. The two find her hiding spot at about the same time as Nagomi and Ranko. Nerula takes responsibility for her actions and tries to kill Manami, but is beaten and then gunned down in front of Nagomi.

### Ranko Mannen

Manami meets Ranko at Dorama, the ramen shop below Oinky Doink Café. They have a heart-to-heart about being old-school maids in the new world and drank beer together. Upon finding out Ranko works at Oinky Doink Café, Manami says it's too bad they are on opposite sides of the war.

In their final meeting in the park, Ranko aims her gun at Ranko, fully prepared to shoot Manami dead but is stopped by Nagomi who did not want to kill her.

### Nagomi Wahira

Nagomi has a final showdown with Manami in the park, where the latter was ready to fight to the death. Nagomi refuses to kill Manami, saying she will never forgive her for killing Nerula but demands she live on as a maid.
