Just like the warm, sparkling sun, I want to spread smiles to everyone!

I'll… do my best with all I got…

Introduction

Mano is a gentle girl who you want to protect. Her catchphrases are “Howa~” and “Mun!”. Mano has a kind personality and rarely gets angry or gives her opinion without being asked, but she has a tendency to saddle herself with worries in secret... Raised close to nature since she was young, Mano loves spending her time relaxing in the park. When Mano visits the park birds tend to gather around her and she often loses track of time playing with them. Mano loves birds and has a pet pigeon named Pii-chan. Mano also loves shopping and going on excursions. However, Mano has a slight aversion to large crowds since she often gets pushed around. Social interaction isn't Mano’s strong suit, and she was scouted by Producer while she was wondering whether she’d be alright staying her shy self forever. While usually not the type to take initiative on her own, after being offered several times Mano came to think being an idol “could be a chance to change herself” and decided to become an idol. Mano is a part of the unit “illumination STARS”. She has great respect for her unit-mate Hiori’s solemn devotion to lessons and idol work as well as her unit-mate Meguru’s ability to make friends with anyone.

Description

A soft-spoken shy girl with a kind, genuine personality. Mano's gentle demeanor can soften even the most hardened heart due to her kindness towards everyone she meets.

She was scouted by the producer as an idol while she was singing for the pigeons in a park, and thinking that she lacks confidence, Mano became an idol to change herself. She keeps a pigeon called "Pii-chan" and likes to talk to it. Sometimes, Mano still doubts her own capacities as a idol, but her fellow unit members Hiori and Meguru support her in these times.

At first, Hiori was quite harsh with Mano, but in reality both of them thought that they were holding each other back. Later, when talking to each other, they both realize their own similarities and Hiori apologizes since they're all starting as idols now, so they have to stand together. Mano admires Hiori deeply. Unlike Hiori, Meguru was always positive and supportive to Mano and helped her with dance lessons.

She likes to go hiking and taking walks and has an knowledge about edible wild plants and can even make dishes with some of them.
