Manugo

Manugo angrily tells the Spotter how Kalita extorted him.

Manugo is a koala and owner of Cafe Carrots. His status as Muko's former boss makes him an important character in Part 1 of Furry Fight Chronicles when Cookie makes a bet pitying Muko against his maids.

## Background

Prior to the comics, Manugo hired Muko as a favor to her mother. To Manugo's dismay, Muko arrived late, left early, stole leftovers, and was perverted to the other maids. Unable to take Muko's poor etiquette, Manugo decided to fire Muko, a decision he took a day before Muko quit.

## Personality

Manugo is a cranky koala who just wants to thrive in his business. He loves good work conduct, which is why he despises Muko for her lack of professionalism. As the owner of Cafe Carrots, he wants his business to thrive. He's willing to let people prove themselves as long as it benefits him, such as letting a scientist use his robot maid at the cafe, or having Muko work for free if she lost the bet. However, he's willing to throw people out of his business if they prove a burden, gladly firing Muko when she quit and kicking out a scientist because his robot maid hurt one of Manugo's customers.

Manugo has a short temper, which often shows up when something is harmful to his business. He demanded Cookie to pay up the damages that Muko and Kalita did in their fight. He also insulted Kalita in a Spotter article. When losing the bet, he demanded his maids to surpass Muko at any chance.

## Appearance

Manugo is a short koala with a grumpy expression, a shirt, and an apron.

## Abilities

### Bartender

Besides being the owner of Cafe Carrots, Manugo works as the bartender of the establishment. He makes drinks for the customers who go to him.

### Business Skills

As the owner of Cafe Carrots, Manugo has enough business skills to manage his cafe and keep it in business. He's open minded enough to accept new opportunities, but also has enough foresight to recognize when something is more of a burden than an asset.

## History

### Act 1

#### Part 1

##### Firing Muko

Manugo makes his first appearance, reproaching Muko for being late again. Muko disrespectfully tells him that she's quitting Cafe Carrots to become a Combagal. Manugo doesn't pay her attention as he's busy talking with a crazy scientist who wants to shows his robot maid to him.

Manugo points out to Muko that he was going to fire her anyway because of her poor work ethic. He then gets enraged when the robot maid assaults one of his customers, causing Manugo to order the scientist to leave his business. He then kicks Muko out of Cafe Carrots, wanting Muko gone regardless of whether she quits or he fires her.

After Muko left, Manugo puts a poster asking for a new maid. By sheer serendipity, Cookie L'Asagne finds the poster and convinces Manugo to let her Combagal work as a maid. Unaware that the Combagal who will work as Cafe Carrots is the same maid who quit, Manugo tells Cookie to meet him the next day.

##### The Bet With Cookie

Upon finding out that Muko is his new maid, Manugo angrily takes back his work offer, telling Cookie about Muko's smug behavior when quitting the prior day. Cookie gives Muko an attractive maid outfit that Manugo finds cute, but not enough to make him hire her. Muko then points out that Manugo hates her because she rejected him after he hit on her, causing an indignant Manugo that he gave Muko the same amount of work as the other maids.

Cookie then makes a bet with Manugo. If Muko sells more than his maids, then he will give her the earnings of one week. If she loses, Muko will work for Manugo one month for free. Manugo accepts the deal before calling out Muko for her poor work ethic and reminding her that she kept the job as a maid because it was a favor to her mother.

Manugo watches as his maids easily get the upper hand on Muko, whose social anxiety around males prevent her from giving good customer service. Sure of his victory, Manugo focuses on his bartender duties. When Muko keeps struggling, Manugo laughs at Cookie, telling her that the robot maid he hired was better than Muko despite assaulting a client.

Once Muko uses a persona to improve her customer service, Manugo is shocked as his maids start losing. He demands them to be cuter and use fanservice, as he doesn't want to lose the weekly earnings. Before a conclusion can be reached, Kalita enters Cafe Carrots and demands the money to put Cafe Carrots under the protection of the Roda Kira Gang.

##### Extortion By The Roda Kira Gang

Manugo is approached by Kalita, who demands the money of the cash register. Her henchmen, Geffan and Banske threaten Manugo, who is forced to comply. The situation gets out of control when Muko steps in, intending to fight Kalita to let Manugo keep the money. To Manugo's horror and frustration, the fight between Muko and Kalita destroys the establishment, with him getting caught in the crossfire.

After Kalita wins, she leaves Cafe Carrots out of respect for Muko's determination. Shira gives the bet's money to Cookie as gratitude for Muko defending Cafe Carrots. However, a bruised Manugo tells Cookie that she still has to pay for the damages made by Muko's fight with Kalita, much to the squirrel's dismay.

#### Part 2

##### Debt For Cookie

After the fight at Cafe Carrots, Manugo demanded Cookie to pay for the damages. Since Cookie didn't have the money to pay back, her debt increased. Cookie hid her newly increased debt from Muko to avoid making her feel guilty.

#### Part 3

##### Spotter Interview

Manugo was interviewed by Miho Barkowitz regarding the shakedown that Kalita did with her gang. Manugo angrily insulted Kalita as he remembered how she thrashed the place in her fight with Muko.
