19
20Mako's poor, eccentric, yet happy family who live contentedly in the slums of Honnou Town. They become Ryuko's surrogate family after she transfers to Honnouji Academy.
21----
22[[foldercontrol]]
23----
24[[folder:General]]
25* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: They become quite vain and haughty in episode 7 once Mako books them a whole mansion.
26* ArtShift: In episode 17, when confronting Gamagori about Ryuko and Mako's whereabouts, they take on a more dramatic and realistic art style.
27* ChivalrousPervert:
28** Every single member of the family is DistractedByTheSexy at one point or another and the boys try to peep on Ryuko often, but none of them actually take it too far.
29** When Nagita is alone with Mako and Ryuko in their house, the rest of the family are seen spying on them, almost as if they expect something to happen.
30* {{Foil}}: It becomes increasingly clear that they are the family Ryuko wanted or could have had, compared to her father [[spoiler:and mother]].
31* GoodParents: Both of them care very much for and are on excellent terms with Mako [[LikeADaughterToMe and Ryuko]].
32* ICallItVera: What the Mankanshoku family thinks of Ryuko's relationship with Senketsu, as they can only see her talking to an inanimate school uniform. Mako tells her family to understand, as she thinks Ryuko is a very lonely girl. Eventually, they figure out that Senketsu is indeed sentient, even if they can't hear what he's saying.
33* JerkassBall: In episode 7, Mako's promotion to One-Star allows them to live like kings, but it also [[AcquiredSituationalNarcissism turns them into pompous socialites who would rather have Mako kill Ryuko if it means keeping their new lifestyle. Fortunately, they are able to drop it by the episode's end after Mako helps knock some sense into them]].
34* LikeADaughterToMe: The family considers Ryuko to be one of their own, even if they find her habit of talking to her clothes a bit disconcerting.
35* TheMedic: While Barazo fits this because of his doctor background, the rest of the family joins him when [[spoiler:they become Nudist Beach's go-to medical crew]].
36* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After Mako chews them out for simply watching her slowly pummel her best friend to death, the whole family strips to their underwear and grovels before Ryuko in apology.
37* NonStandardCharacterDesign: They're noticeably more cartoony-looking than the other, more roughly-drawn characters.
38* OffscreenTeleportation: In a CallBack to No-Late Day, the whole family does this in episode 18.
39* QuirkyHousehold: They love seeing Ryuko naked and consider a plateful of croquets made from unidentifiable junk to be the finest food in Japan (which it apparently is), yet they're the most loving family anyone can hope for.
40* RagsToRiches: In episode 7, after Mako becomes president of the new Fight Club, their social standing increases ''dramatically'', moving from the slums to their own condo, and eventually a mansion. [[EasyComeEasyGo This plays out about as well as one would expect]].
41* ShooOutTheClowns: Averted. If they're around, there will be wacky hijinks, however minor. Those situations that are completely serious don't feature them to begin with.
42* ThemeNaming: "Mankanshoku" means "all dressed up".
43* ThickerThanWater: Their reaction to Mako beating the crap out of Ryuko in episode 7 is to cheer for their daughter, since they're in no mood to lose their newfound wealth should Mako lose. Once Mako comes to her senses, she's understandably horrified by their behavior [[WhatTheHellHero and makes sure they feel the same way]].
44* TookALevelInBadass: When they confront Gamagoori regarding the details of the Grand Festival and if Ryuko and Mako are okay.
45* WhatTheHellHero: Mako calls them all out for cheering for her during her fight to the death against Ryuko instead of stopping her from trying to kill her best friend.

53->''"Don't worry about it. The dead ones don't sue you."''
54
55Mako's father. He is the town's unlicensed doctor who's killed more patients than he's actually saved them.
56----
57* AmusingInjuries: Falls victim to this quite often as a result of his incessant peeping.
58* BackAlleyDoctor: He even has a glowing neon sign on his house labelling him as such.
59* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: When he stands up to Gamagoori in the episode for the sports festival accommodation and even threatens to sue Satsuki if Mako gets injured helping her fight the Covers.
60* {{Gonk}}: He's much more blobbish than the other, more reasonably proportioned characters. Amusingly, [[LetsGetDangerous he assumes more realistic proportions when confronting Gamagoori over his daughter's disappearance]].
61* HappilyMarried: To Sukuyo, who isn't even fazed by his attempts to look at a teenage girl naked.
62* TheMedic: Though his qualifications are completely questionable, Barazo can be counted on for a decent patch job. Probably.
63* PapaWolf: Is very protective of Mako and Ryuko as evident in the CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass moment above.
64* PervertDad: Has no qualms about peeking on Ryuko undressing along with his son.
65* UglyGuyHotWife: He's a cartoonish {{Gonk}} while his wife is a youthful-looking stunner.

75
76Mako's mother, an extremely carefree woman who always does what she wants.
77----
78* BrutalHonesty: Doesn't shy away from admitting what incompetent idiots her husband and son are.
79* CordonBleughChef: She will cook ''anything'' as long as it's not poisonous. Interestingly, the food always both looks and tastes delicious; you just don't want to know what's in it.
80* CovertPervert: Unlike Ryuko, she's more than a little curious about what Aikuro is packing.
81* EatingTheEyeCandy: Sukuyo can't resist [[http://i.imgur.com/N5hekwM.gif checking Aikuro out]] when he's nearby, proving she's just like the rest of the family.
82* GirlyRun: Zigzagged. When in a high-class gown, she runs with her hands balled into fists under her chin and her elbows glued to her sides. Once she rips it off, she switches into a full arm and leg flailing sprint.
83* HappilyMarried: To Barazo, who isn't even fazed by her ogling a much younger and very naked man.
84* {{Housewife}}: She is a stay-at-home wife who does all the cooking and cleaning, and she's damn well proud of it.
85* SeriousBusiness: [[MundaneMadeAwesome Laundry]]. It's a housewife's duty.
86* ShipperOnDeck: Judging by the special Mako croquettes she made him in episode 22, she seems to ship Gamagoori with her daughter.
87* StrongFamilyResemblance: She looks almost like Mako with her hair done up in a bun.
88* SupremeChef: While her croquettes are made of basically [[CordonBleughChef anything and everything she can find]], they're actually quite delicious. Even Ryuko admits to liking them once she gets over their unappetizing appearance.
89* UglyGuyHotWife: The Hot Wife to Barazo's (relatively) Ugly Guy.

110* TheChewToy: His main purpose in the story seems to be getting beaten up whenever he does something stupid.
111* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: It doesn't show much unless you look closely, but there are signs that he's got the same potential as his family.
112** He carried Ryuko, a girl at least twice his age and weight, to his family's home offscreen.
113** When [[spoiler:COVERS invaded the world]], he survived on the streets for over a month in Episode 19 without being discovered.
114** As medics for [[spoiler:Nudist Beach in episode 22, help the formerly-trapped club members after they've been sucked out by COVERS]], he carries Omiko the Tennis Club president under one arm, just like with Ryuko.
115* DirtyKid: He knows how sexy Ryuko looks when wearing Senketsu, and he isn't afraid to point it out. And in episode 19, in a brief scene, he's noticeably blushing and drooling over the person who saved his life: [[spoiler:Jakuzure in [[{{Stripperiffic}} Nudist Beach gear]], that is.]]
116* DistractedByTheSexy: His response to seeing [[spoiler:Jakuzure]] in her Nudist Beach outfit.
117* GogglesDoNothing: Wears a pair of shades on his forehead.
118* InTheBlood: He makes the same crossed-arms gesture as his sister while temporarily wealthy in episode 7.

120* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Him and his gang grovel immediately at Ryuko's feet once she starts beating up on them:
121-->'''Mataro:''' We're really weak against stronger people! That's our own strong suit.
122* StreetUrchin: He and his gang try stealing Ryuko's wallet when they first meet. If his sister is to be believed, this happens pretty often.
123* WouldHitAGirl: Is all too eager to have his gang try and beat up Ryuko. It [[CurbStompBattle doesn't end well for them]].

131The Mankanshoku family dog.

134* BigEater: He has a tendency to eat anything and everything off of Ryuko's plate when given the chance.

141* PokemonSpeak: He communicates by barking his name.
142* PunnyName: His name comes from the word "''gattsuku''", which means "[[BigEater to devour greedily]]", or as the English dub puts it, "to eat with gusto".
143** In both the Italian dub and sub, it's because [[ShoutOut "when he eats, he goes]] Manga/{{Berserk}} ",
144* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Just look at his big ol' eyes and that little hoodie he wears.
145* SaintBernardRescue: He wears what appears to be a small barrel under his chin in episode 20, the contents are unknown, though.
146* StealthClothes: When sneaking around Honnou Town with Mataro after it's [[spoiler:taken over by COVERS]].
