Nekura

Nekura is one of the Doppelgangers in the second season of the Lucky Besties anime. Her alter ego is known as Unlucky Monotone. After purification, she transforms into Manzoku.

Personality
In contrast to Akari, Nekura is a pessimistic girl who doesn't want any friends, and can only think about herself. She acts creepy and spies on others for no apparent reason and seems to be yandere. After becoming purified, she reveals herself to be Manzoku (meaning "satisfaction"), a girl who doesn't have many friends and feels like she's a nobody, but became Nekura after her depression worsened and took over. After she becomes friends with Akari (and the other members), Manzoku transfers to the school.

Nekura/Unlucky Monotone
As Nekura (before being purified), she wears an outfit similar to the rest of the Doppelgangers; her outfit is a dull red dress, a white collar with a red tie, a black trenchcoat, transparent red stockings, and red high heels. Her hair doesn't change.

Manzoku
As Manzoku, she has pale skin, long brown hair which reaches past her her shoulders, and bangs that cover her right eye. She also has mini-pigtails, as well as a dull red headband. She has brownish-red eyes. Her outfit is a white shirt with long sleeves and a red collar, a red pleated skirt, red stockings, and white shoes with red heels.

Etymology
Nekura has no meaning. Manzoku means "satisfaction". Her surname, Jinsei means "calm"; together her name translates to "Jinsei Manzoku", or "calm satisfaction".

Relationships
Akari Aihana As Nekura, she took control of Akari in Episode 7 of the second season inspiriting her with the power of jealousy, causing Akari to just distance herself from the rest of her friends. Akari became generally speechless and didn't talk to her friends, but when she did, she said everything is pointless and she considered herself "unwanted" and "useless".

After her friends finally managing to get to her, Nekura separates from Akari, causing the latter to receive her Heartful Lucky Gem and be able to purify Nekura, transforming her into Manzoku who explains the reason for becoming Nekura, and says she feels like her friends don't like her and desert her every chance they can get. Manzoku changes her attitude right after Akari tells Manzoku her friends aren't deserting her. It's revealed Manzoku has low self-esteem and that causes her to think her friends don't like her.

When Akari takes Manzoku for a day out, she opens up Manzoku's eyes to all the fun things in life, and how if Manzoku stays positive she won't need to worry about the negatives again. Manzoku thanks her and ends up transferring to Akari and her friends' class on the following Monday.
