I have to agree with Klash here.
We are both fluent in french and never heard of Manon being a nickname.
I mean it's a proper name in itself.
It might be true that it (somehow) began as a nickname for Marie but I seriously would doubt Ryukishi to use knowledge that is beyond obscure for even the speakers of the said language.
The french of the fighting game seems to be like the result of a Babel Fish translation... It's only evidence that Ryukishi's team has no one knowledgeable in french in it (and that they have no interest in being accurate about it either... in other words French being used is just fashion for the game).
On a side, I can hardly believe the convo about Higurashi/Umineko relations is still up... I seriously doubt it will lead anywhere.
