Manatsu Natsuumi is the main protagonist in Tropical-Rouge! Pretty Cure. As Cure Summer, Manatsu worked with her fellow Pretty Cures to defeat the Witch of Delays and her army of monsters, the Yaraneeda. Manatsu is a very hyperactive and optimistic person who's always striving to do what's most important at the moment.
Manatsu's positive and motivated attitude could help her befriend other anime characters. From assisting characters such as Shoko Komi with making friends to sharing traits of perseverance and positivity with Kohana and Ash, Manatsu could make many friends with her cheerful, energetic personality. Some of these friends could also help Manatsu defeat evil villains.
10 Kohana's Friendship & Light Of Arte Will Motivate Manatsu (Magic-Kyun! Renaissance)
Kohana often used her Light of Arte abilities in Magic-Kyun! Renaissance to motivate and inspire others, including her multiple love interests. Considering that Manatsu and her fellow Pretty Cures are so determined to protect other people's aspirations, Manatsu could protect Kohana from the Yaraneeda. Kohana, in turn, could use her flower arrangements to inspire Manatsu to continue her work as a Pretty Cure. Both would keep encouraging each other to do what is most important at the moment, whether it be helping their friends or defeating enemies.
9 Ash Ketchum's Perseverance Matches Manatsu's Drive (Pokémon)
Pokémon's Ash Ketchum wanted to become a great Pokémon trainer and, eventually, a Pokémon master. Since Ash often displays perseverance as a trainer, he and Manatsu could bond over their determination to reach their goals. Both also have other similar personality traits, such as being impulsive and overly energetic. However, when the situation gets serious and they have to battle evil teams or other villains, Ash and Manatsu can work together to save the day before enjoying some time together.
8 Manatsu Will Inspire Komi To Improve Her Social Skills (Komi Can't Communicate)
Komi suffers from social anxiety, which initially prevents her from making friends. However, becoming friends with Manatsu could help Komi improve her social skills. Komi befriended many strange people in Komi Can't Communicate, such as Yamai and Agari, so it's not a huge stretch for her to befriend Manatsu.
Manatsu, in turn, could learn to understand why Komi is so quiet, and Komi's contemplative nature could help Manatsu relax and enjoy the moment. Both characters neatly balance each other out with their personalities. Manatsu is also very sociable, so she could help Komi make 100 friends.
7 Catarina Claes Will Help Manatsu Stay Determined To Reach Her Goals (My Next Life As A Villainess)
Catarina avoided her doom in My Next Life As A Villainess thanks to staying determined and working hard to reach her goal. She could help Manatsu stay focused on reaching her goals, too, such as defeating any Yaraneeda that the Witch of Delays and her minions summon. Catarina might not be a any help in the battle against the Yaraneeda since she lacks magical powers and she tends to avoid conflict at all costs. However, she would always be there to support Manatsu and the other Pretty Cures as needed.
6 Sailor Moon Can Help Manatsu Save The World From Evil (Sailor Moon)
Sailor Moon, much like Manatsu and the other Pretty Cures, is a magical girl by virtue of her status as a Sailor Scout. Both of them have similar experiences with consistently saving the world from evil. They also have experience leading and working in groups. If the Sailor Scouts and the Pretty Cures ever met, Manatsu and Sailor Moon would mesh well together. Outside of battle, Sailor Moon and Manatsu could hang out together with their respective friend groups, plan for upcoming battles against more foes, and enjoy the moment.
5 Mayuki Can Have Fun Dressing Up With Manatsu (Hinako Note)
Hinako Note's Mayuki Hiiragi is interested in fashion and playing dress-up with her peers, which is further fueled by her place in the theater club with Hinako Sakuragi and her other friends. If Manatsu and Mayuki ever met, both of them would become great friends who bond over makeup and shopping for cute clothes together.
Mayuki's enthusiasm for theater would mesh well with Manatsu's hyperactive attitude. Since Manatsu's transformation into a Pretty Cure involved a full makeup montage, Mayuki would certainly enjoy seeing Manatsu's full transformation.
4 Azusa & Manatsu Will Have A Blast Enjoying The Moment Together (That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime)
Azusa might be a three-hundred-year-old witch with overpowered abilities in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, but deep down, she just wants to live a slow life. Since Manatsu aspires to do whatever is most important in the moment, she and Azusa will get along since they both just want to enjoy life.
Additionally, since both Manatsu and Azusa have magical powers, they could team up together to battle their enemies. The fights would likely be short, since Azusa is so overpowered. But that would free up more time for Manatsu and Azusa to spend time enjoying life.

Even though Yugi shared a body with stoic and intimidating Yami Yugi while Manatsu is a bright and optimistic Pretty Cure, Yugi himself is a gentle and kind person. Once Manatsu gets to know Yugi, she might also have an opportunity to gain Yami Yugi's trust in the future.
2 Manatsu Will Be Great Optimistic Company For Aoba (DRAMAtical Murder)
Aoba went through many tough moments in DRAMAtical Murder as he learned about his origins and how Toue affected many of his love interests and friends in the visual novel and anime adaptation. If Manatsu and Aoba ever met, Manatsu's positive and supportive attitude will uplift Aoba. She'd likely act similarly to Clear with how cheerful she is, and Aoba in turn could help Manatsu out with his Scrap powers whenever enemies appear. Additionally, Aoba and Manatsu could work together to take down any threats toward their loved ones.
1 Nagisa & Manatsu Will Bond Over Tasty Food (Girlfriend, Girlfriend)
Nagisa Minase cooks extremely appetizing dishes in Girlfriend, Girlfriend, and Manatsu loves eating melon bread with her friends in Tropical-Rouge! Precure.

Additionally, both of them are extremely kind people, although Nagisa is much calmer compared to Manatsu. Their different personalities will balance each other out and help deepen their bond.
