Taishi Manza (万座 太子, Manza Taishi) is a first year student at Binan High School. He transforms into Neve Kiss.

Background[edit]

Appearance[edit]

Taishi has short, wavy, green hair and blue eyes. He wears glasses with a silver bridge and temples, and rimless oval-shaped lenses.

His school uniform consists of a white, button down shirt, a dark red tie, and a black blazer with gold buttons and white trim. The school's insignia is on the left sleeve. He wears black slacks and brown loafers.

Taishi has a Happy Brace on his left wrist. It is a white bracelet with a thick band. In the center, there are five blue jewels forming star. The innermost points have golden decorations which form a flower, and the outermost points are partially set in gold. There is a white butterfly wing with golden edges on the right side. There is a golden vein on the forewing with two blue jewels shaped like diamonds.

Neve Kiss[edit]

When transformed into Neve Kiss, Taishi wears a white shirt with black lapels framing a button up shirt, tucked into a black belt with a gold buckle and a blue belt. He has a short, hooded cape lined in blue with a blue gem on the tip of the hood and two hanging from the front. It has a blue bow with the gem and butterfly wing from his Happy Brace on the front. He has blue prince-like sleeves with a repeated white marquis design. He has white sleeve garters with black piping. The blue three-quarter sleeves end in petal-like cuffs. He has white gloves with sharp, petal-like cuffs. His shorts have slits where pockets would be, revealing a glimpse of blue lining and tighter, white shorts underneath. There is a blue rounded triangle pattern around the hem. The shorts are are tucked into white, thigh-high boot boot covers. There are brown laces keeping them tight with a blue jewel dangling from each. The boot covers are attached to his boots under his arches, showing the heel, arch, and toe of his blue boots. They have a pointed, curled toe with black soles. They have short, chunky heels. There are white pom poms on the arches.

Upon turning into his Super Happy form in Season One Episode Twelve, all blue aspects of his outfit turn white except for his brooch, which keeps its blue and gold coloring. The gems hanging from his cape and boot covers also stay blue. The black lapels and belt turn white. He gains a pair of pale yellow butterfly wings on his back, with golden edges and red diamonds on the forewings. The apex of the hindwings are spiral-shaped and blue.
