Manuk Kandu Yuuki

**Manuk Kandu Yuuki** (マヌク・カンドゥ優希) is a member of Kilihito and one of Atsushi Tanzawa's detachments.

## Appearance

Manuk is a large Japanese-Nigerian. He speaks with a Nigerian accent and has tattoos on his arms. Like Shimohara Kenzou, he has notably black eyes.

## History

Along with Fujita Marcos Masakatsu and Wan Ryuushou, Manuk was originally a member of Foreign. After two of their friends were raped by Kilihito members, Minagawa Jousuke compensated them financially and handed the perpetrators over to Foreign for punishment. The matter was resolved until one of the victims committed suicide. Foreign members attacked the four rapists, killing two of them and severely injuring another.

As the ringleaders, Manuk, Marco, and Wan were captured and interrogated by Kilihito. Jou states that one of them must die to pay for their crimes, to which Manuk volunteers. Just before is he decapitated by Kakuta Eiji, Atsushi Tanzawa and Abe Kaname inform him, Marco, and Wan that Foreign disbanded and convince Jou to spare the trio. Manuk is grateful to them for saving his life, but does not want to follow anyone weaker than himself. Acchan beats him to prove his strength, but Manuk agrees to join Kilihito anyway so he can repay Acchan and Kaname.

## Plot

Manuk is first seen during a meeting with Acchan, Kaname, Karube Genya, and Matsuzaka Shuuji, listening quietly. He cheerfully agrees to help Acchan locate the scrapyard Kyoranki is using with the help of his uncle.

While Kilihito is preparing for their battle against Kyoranki, Manuk invites Iguchi Tatsuya to fight with him instead of with Karube, but Tatsuya rejects both offers.

Before the battle between Kilihito and Kyoranki, Manuk and the Detached Force are assigned to protect Acchan. As they navigate through Ahmad Bebe's scrapyard, they are ambushed by Kyoranki's Miura Yuuya, who knocks Manuk unconscious with a metal bat. Miura offers to let all the Kilihito members leave if Acchan gives himself up. Remaining calm, Acchan insists that Tsurumaki Yoshiki and Rakuzaki Kai are using him, which triggers Miura into ordering Kyoranki's teams to attack. Miura tries to follow Acchan as he escapes, but Manuk stops him by grabbing onto his hood.

After some fighting, Miura and his team defeat Manuk's. Before Miura can leave to look for Acchan, Manuk stops him again and proclaims that he will not stop fighting unless Miura kills him. He explains that if Acchan dies, Kilihito will also die and leave him without a home. Two Kilihito members grab Miura's legs, restricting him, and Manuk attempts to stab a piece of rebar into his back. At the last second, Miura uses his elbow to deflect it and tears Manuk's right eye out. Persistant, Manuk continues to attack, but Miura eventually stabs him through the back of his head with the rebar.

Miura and his team tie up the remaining Kilihito members and leave. As they go, Manuk plans to call Marco to launch a surprise attack and settle his debt with Acchan, but dies before he can do so. His body is disposed of in a car crusher.

## Relationships

### Abe Kaname

Initially, Manuk wanted to repay Kaname for saving his life, but eventually grew to admire him. After spending more time together, the two developed a friendly relationship. They both had large appetites, and Manuk would help Kaname at his construction job. After working one day, Manuk advised Kaname to leave Kilihito because his kind, honest personality did not suit a life of crime.

Kaname contemplates this after hearing about Manuk's death, but ultimately decides to accept the consequences of staying with Kilihito and vows to kill Miura for vengeance.

### Karube Genya

Manuk and Karube were shown to have a bitter relationship full of bickering, with Karube frequently insulting Manuk's accent and uncle. They both dislike the other's squad, though Manuk's hatred of the Flying Column likely stems from when previous Flying Column members raped his two friends.

### Atsushi Tanzawa

As with Kaname, Manuk felt indebted to Acchan for saving his life. He was shown to be loyal to Acchan, feeling content with his approval even when the rest of Kilihito did not accept him, Wan, and Marco for being outsiders. Despite knowing that Acchan was a dangerous individual, Manuk still thought about repaying his debt during the last moments of his life.

### Wan Ryuushou and Fujita Marcos Masakatsu

Although Manuk, Wan, and Marco were not shown interacting, they likely had strong bonds from all being of mixed-race and former members of Foreign.
