Comic Issue

Issue 82: Forbidden Magic

Manuel is first seen in a picture on Roxy's phone and, after a week of struggling with her classes, the Winx step in and learn that she has a crush on a guy named Manuel. Thanks to Timmy, they learn that Manuel is a Specialist at Red Fountain and that he is a second year who is often seen hanging out with Cloud Tower Witches. Aisha remembers that Manuel has a crush on Rachel, a witch who garners a lot of attention from various guys. However, the girls believe that Roxy still has a shot with Manuel and try to plan for a way to get them together.

Manuel with Rachel and her crowd of admirers.

That Saturday, the Winx see Manuel huddled near Rachel along with many other guys. Stella tries to invite the crowd over to organize a party but Rachel storms off, refusing to associate with fairies. Manuel follows her and the Winx begin to doubt Roxy's chances as Manuel is fixated only on Rachel.

Next week, Roxy helps Bloom around the café and uses a love potion on Manuel. The two quickly hit it off and even hold hands at the end of the day. The next day, Roxy and Manuel hang out together at the White Horse, which ticks off the Trix, who thought that Manuel was Rachel's boyfriend. Manuel leaves Roxy for a bit to get snacks but when he returns, he finds Roxy trying to slip something into his drink. Thanks to the Trix butting in, he learns that Roxy had been deceiving him with a love potion and storms off, never wanting to see her again.

That night, it turns out that the events from the past two days have all been a dream that the Winx put Roxy through in order to show her what would happen if they went ahead with making a love potion for her, meaning that Manuel still has never met Roxy.

Next weekend rolls around and Manuel catches Rachel kissing one of her admirers, which breaks his heart. He is then interrupted by a small puppy fairy pet which belongs to Roxy. The two of them then introduce each other and become friends.

Issue 83: Monsters of Stone

Manuel and Roxy talking.

Manuel is first seen hanging out with Roxy around the Winx Club building where he confesses to Roxy that he still cannot get over what happened with Rachel. Shortly afterwards, he is introduced to Bloom, Brandon, Stella and Sky by Roxy and offers to accompany Roxy on her trip to Jessie's animal shelter in the mountains.

The two find the epicenter of the tremors.

A few hours later, the two of them arrive and Manuel is introduced to Jessie and Peter, but their time is cut short by sudden tremors. The tremors begin to get worse and Manuel accompanies Roxy and Peter as they go out to check the forests for any major damage. Soon enough, Manuel and Roxy split up from Peter in order to make the search go faster and the two of them end up locating the epicenter of the earthquakes. Unfortunately, a more powerful tremor occurs, which causes the ground to split open from below Manuel and Roxy, causing the two to plummet into the new crevice.

A short while later, Manuel comes to and finds that he is at the bottom of a crevice. He looks for Roxy and rushes to her side once he finds her. It turns out that Roxy had sprained her ankle due to the fall and Manuel soaks his shirt to wrap around the sprain. After a bit of nervous small-talk, Manuel helps Roxy up and the two of them look for a way out.

Some time later, the two of them have managed to find an exit. After another tremor, Manuel climbs up a nearby wall of vines and helps Roxy up when they make it to the top. The two of them are shocked to see two Stone Giants emerging from a nearby cliffside and deduce that they are the cause of the earthquakes. Manuel quickly realizes that the Stone Giants are headed off in the direction of Magix and fears that they may be seeking to destroy it.

As the Stone Giants loom closer to Magix, Manuel and Roxy are still trying to escape the mountain range. The two of them come across a cave and find that Kamud has been hiding out inside. They hide behind a rock and listen in as Kamud boasts about his plan to use the Stone Giants to take over Magix. The two of them try to escape until Roxy accidentally kicks some rocks over, notifying some of Kamud's trolls that there is an intruder. Manuel then tries to ease Roxy out of the cave before they are caught.

Trivia

• The name "Manuel" is of Spanish origin. It is the short form of the name Emmanuel, which is of Hebrew origin and means "God is with us".
• Manuel shares many similarities with some of the Specialists.
  • He and Sky are similar in appearance and both date fairies who were raised on Earth and later learn that they are princesses of kingdoms that were once lost.
  • He and Riven date and end up being used by witches before they end up dating a member of the Winx. Though, in Manuel's case, Rachel was never a major antagonist.
