As the fight ends Manta is left awestruck at how quickly Yoh learns to defeat Tao Ren. When the two finally meet Manta tries to cheer on his friend as Ren tries to kill him for Amidamaru. Manta realizes that Tao Ren is not as good or kind as Yoh and tries to warn him about meeting with Ren. While taking his usual short cut through the cemetery when he runs into a new Shaman, tao Ren. Manta is also the first to get the chance to meet Yoh's first real opponent. Then after that Manta bears witness to Yoh saving several young children that are trapped on the top of a building that is burning down. After that Manta follows Yoh when he decides to give absolution to a school bully who's boxing teacher died before he could fight him again. First Manta witnesses Yoh help the spirit that has attached to a billboard that keeps getting knocked down by the artist who died making it. His horror quickly turns to amazement though as Yoh tears the teens apart after integrating with the fiend Amidamaru.Īfter learning the abilities that his new friend has Manta becomes inseparable as he follows Yoh around trying to help him to save people and souls from the pasts that are haunting them. Manta is forced to stand by Yoh until the teenage gang shows up to fight, and then he watches in horror as the thugs attack. Yoh takes Manta a step further though and drags him off to face down Ryu and the gang. This time he is saved by Yoh though, who steps in and admits to being able to see ghosts. Manta shows up at school the next day and is gawked at by his classmates because of his beating and then made fun of again for still believing in ghosts. Manta becomes a punching bag for the group as they beat him horribly. Apparently the gang has been using the cemetery as their hangout for sometime, and Yoh has been lucky enough to be able to use it to star gaze without being caught. As Manta's luck would have it he runs into some serious trouble as encounters Wooden Sword Ryu and his gang of teenage thugs. As Manta heads home after his last cram school for the night he cuts through the cemetery and tries to make better on his time, but instead he finds himself in deep trouble. After being noticed Manta talks to Yoh and learns that his new friend is Shaman and can not only see ghost, but has other uses too. All he ends up doing before he blows his cover though is watching Yoh stare at the river for several hours. Still angry from the ridicule of his class mates Manta confronts Yoh about seeing him and the ghost, but is made to look the fool as Yoh lies about not believing in Ghost.Īfter school Manta decides that he needs to follow after Yoh and catch him in the act so that he can force a confession from him. Manta instantly recognizes the young man as the one he saw at the graveyard. As Manta fumes about how absurd the whole idea is the teacher introduces the classes new student, Yoh Asakura. The next day at school Manta tries to explain to some of his classmates what he has seen, but only ends up becoming the punchline of their jokes. unfortunately for Manta Yoh is not crazy, and the ghost that he is suddenly able to see are not him losing his own mind. Unsure as to what may be wrong with the boy Manta kindly declines and wonders if he may be talking to someone who has lost their mind. As be gets ready to charge off again he is called to by the young man again, and asked to watch the stars. As Manta glances at his watch again he realizes that he is still late. As he runs across the graveyard he hears someone call out to him and notices a strange young man on an over looking hill. Manta is actually the first character to appear in the mangas as he runs down the street trying to get home after he misses his bus after a late cram school session. To top off his already awkward personality Manta is a lot smarter than the people that he goes to school with. Manta is also a very courageous individual, putting himself in harms way to help his friend Yoh during one of their battles. Of course when he is uncomfortable with how people are treating him Manta becomes a loud and quickly angered little guy.
Manta is a rather friendly individual when he isn't the subject of ridicule. He doesn't have much use for many other clothes with the fact that he is enrolled not only in regular school but is attending several other extra curricular schooling programs. Manta usually just wears his school uniform everywhere he goes. He stands at about Yoh's hip level, which is about the normal height for a thirteen year old.
Manta is a short individual, resembling an elementary school student rather than a junior high school student.
