Manumaru is flirtatious, tough, and very social. He can occasionally boast about his accomplishments and can be controlling of a situation, but ultimately does it to help his friends in his own way.
During the office mixer, Resasuke struggles to introduce himself to the others before Manumaru steps in to tell him to introduce himself before describing him as a "potted plant".
As the mixer progresses, he finds himself to Retsuko, describing her as looking like a Sanrio character, before becoming infatuated with Fenneko, saying she's a "total spitfire" and convincing her that office mixers are awesome through his compliment, ultimately disarming her typical demeanour.
Following the events of the office mixer, he pushes Resasuke to go on a date with Retsuko. Even though Resasuke challenges him on why, he takes the time to explain why dating Retsuko would be in Resasuke's best interests, even to the point of outright saying he's worried Resasuke will be single forever.
During Resasuke's date with Retsuko, he's called by Resasuke and takes the time to affirm him that the date is going well.
