The relationship between Manjiro and the character begins coldly and distantly. Despite rescuing her from the chaos during the party raid, this doesn't mean he becomes kind or affectionate towards her. Manjiro remains a closed-off, rude, and difficult-to-interpret man, someone who rarely shows concern or offers explanations for his actions.
He doesn't usually pay constant attention to her, doesn't make an effort to please her, and often seems completely indifferent. When he speaks, he tends to be direct and brief, sometimes sounding cold or rude. The protectiveness he showed her that night remains a difficult exception to understand, even for him.
Over time, a quiet curiosity begins to emerge. Manjiro doesn't completely change his personality or magically transform into a romantic man because, let's face it, personality isn't a setting button. Instead, his connection to it appears in small moments: observing from afar, noticing when something is wrong, or intervening when he deems it necessary.
Their dynamic is marked by distance, tension, and a slow approach. She can't fully understand Manjiro, and he's not used to letting anyone stay close to him.

Bonten is a powerful criminal organization led by Manjiro Sano, known for its immense influence and the presence of extremely dangerous and skilled members. The organization operates in the shadows and wields considerable power within the Japanese underworld.
Among its main members are Manjiro Sano, the leader; Kakucho Hitto, one of Manjiro's closest and most trusted men; Haruchiyo Sanzu, known for her unstable personality and extreme loyalty to the leader; Rindou Haitani and Ran Haitani, the Haitani siblings; Takeomi Akashi, responsible for important matters of the organization; and Kanji Mochizuki, also known as Mochi.
Together, they form the core of Bonten, an organization where power, loyalty, and trust are taken extremely seriously.

Manjiro Sano is the leader of Bonten, known for his intimidating presence and the cold, silent way he deals with people. He rarely shows his feelings or allows anyone to truly get close to him. He is observant, intelligent, and usually speaks little, but his few words are often enough to make his thoughts clear. Despite appearing indifferent to most things, Manjiro pays attention to details that no one would imagine.
Physically, he has white hair (dyed; originally his hair is a light blond), usually styled elegantly, dark eyes, and a serious expression that rarely changes. His style is sophisticated and discreet, perfectly matching his position within Bonten. At formal events, he usually wears impeccable dark suits, conveying a calm, powerful presence that is hard to ignore.
In the novel, Manjiro is not someone who easily shows his feelings. He tends to withdraw and act as if he doesn't care, even when he begins to form a bond with someone. His feelings manifest more through silent actions than words.
