Store Manager (店長 Tenchō) is one of the playable characters in 100% Orange Juice!.
Passives
- Cannot trigger
Bonus panels. - Cannot use cards, other than Gift cards.
- Takes 1 damage when discarding a card.
Overview
Store Manager features a very strong attack stat while having an above average health pool, which allows him to be very effective in battles. This proves useful, since he cannot gain stars from Bonus panels, and cannot use any cards except Gift cards, which means he will have to rely on his base stats to defeat enemies. To add onto this, any cards that are discarded (this includes using Gift Cards like 
Windy Enchantment) will damage him by 1 Health point, thus he will need to avoid landing on 
Draw panels or find a way to drop his cards.
Summary
- Pros
- +One of the best ATK stats in game
- +Discard passive allows Store Manager to reset rather than allow another player to KO him.
- +Hyper is very disruptive when used on other players.
- Cons
- -Can't use cards except Gift cards, relies on allies playing cards that benefit him.
- -Can be severely affected by card-giving effects.
- -Due to his anti-card nature and need to engage in combat to progress, he ends up being map dependent.

Effect
Store Manager's Hyper is Banned for Life. When this Gift card is held, the player will be unable to use any cards other than Gift cards. If this card is discarded, all other cards in the player's hand will be discarded along with it. Upon use, this card will be sent to another random player instead of being sent to the discard pile.
Notes
- When holding this card, a
icon will hover around the player.
icon will hover around the player.Interactions
Banned for Life: If multiple copies of Banned for Life are held, the effect will not stack.
Strategy
Banned for Life serves two main purposes. The first one is that it can be used to prevent a player from using a powerful card, such as a Hyper. If Manager recognizes another player possesses a Hyper Card, he can deny their use and be able to attack them safely. Its second use is making someone drop their entire hand, including Store Manager. It's recommended that Manager keeps the card in his hand, since it's one of the few cards that allows him to drop his entire hand with minimal damage.Tips
- Playing as Store Manager
- The player should actively avoid Draw panels as they can easily set Store Manager back.
- Since Bonus panels don't give any stars to Store Manager, the best way to earn them is by engaging opponent and NPCs in battle or by landing on a red chest set by a field event.
- To avoid damage taking damage from discarding cards, packing cards that enable the player to drop their entire hand are helpful. Cards such as
Scrambled Eve, 
Present Thief or 
Flamethrower. 
Tragedy in the Dead of Night and 
Bad Pudding can help toward this. - Packing gift cards can be helpful, as the player can use cards like Windy Enchantment to catch up to enemies and discard the card by simply using it.
- Keeping Store Manager's Hyper in hand is also beneficial, as it allows him to drop 4 or more cards for just 1HP.
- Keeping a full hand can, however, help Manager by enabling self-KO when he's in danger and with 1HP.
- Bringing
Play of the Gods can help as well, since it has a chance to draw Scrambled Eve, dropping his hand without taking any damage, 
Dinner to heal him or 
Super All-Out Mode to boost his attack stat to +4. - Any board with as a field event will help Manager amass Wins quicker.
- Trap cards that force encounters like
Invasion and 
Piyopiyo Procession can help Manager get more wins. 
Metallic Monocoque is a great card for protecting Store Manager from taking damage when discarding a card.
- Playing against Store Manager
- One of Manager weakness is his inability to use cards. Landing on a Draw panel can severely punish him, so the player might consider fighting a different opponent if the opponent the player is pursuing lands on one.
- Cards like
Reverse Attribute Field or 
Shield Counter can deal massive damage to Store Manager if the player can afford playing them. 
Shield and 
Rbits are great cards to temporarily defend the player from Store Manager. Characters with a high evade stat should consider 
Rainbow-Colored Circle as an option too.- Characters like and , cards like
Scary Solicitation, and the field event will help keep Store Manager under control, forcing him to drop cards and take damage.

Counter Cards
Co-op
In Co-op mode, Store Manager's REC stat is increased from 6 to 8, due to his base ATK of +2. Store Manager's passive does not change.
Store Manager's Hyper, Banned for Life, has a different effect in Co-op. Unlike its Normal mode counterpart, this Gift card has no effect when held and is discarded on use instead of being sent to another random player. When used, the boss will gain one stack of the Banned for Life stock effect (not to be confused with the Gift card's passive effect). The affected unit will skip its next pending action, meaning that the next boss card to be played will not be activated. Only one boss action per Chapter can be skipped this way.

Bounty Hunt
In Bounty Hunt mode, Store Manager's passive does not visibly change. However, part of Store Manager's passive does not function:
- Store Manager is allowed to use quests and bounties at the start of his turn. Discarding a quest or bounty by using it does not cause Store Manager to take damage.
Store Manager's base stats give him 24 starting stars and a markup of +40% at shops.
