Miku Nakano

To Fuutarou, we're merely... his students. That's why, I've decided.. to pass every subject this exam, and with the best grades out of the five of us, no less. So that I can proudly graduate from being Fuutarou's student. This time, for sure, I'll be able to tell him that I love him. Miku Nakano is the third sister of the Nakano Quintuplets, and one of the main characters of the 5-toubun no Hanayome series. She has a very timid personality.

Appearance
""Miku did your breast get bigger." "We’re all same.""

- Yotsuba Nakano and Miku Nakano[src][src]

Miku is an emotionless looking girl with medium-length red hair that has strands of hair hanging over the right side of her face. Her notable accessory is a set of wireless headphones that have a triangle-shaped logo on the ear cups (Audio-Technica). Like her sisters, she has dark blue eyes, an average height, a well-endowed figure and large breasts.

Miku usually wears a long-sleeved sweater that covers her uniform. She also wears black tights and puts on her headphones around her neck. Most of the time, she has part of her bangs cover her right eye. She wears a ranzel.

Personality
Miku is a silent and reserved girl who has a pessimistic way of thinking and low confidence, even to the point of belittling herself. Fuutarou Uesugi notes that she doesn't have faith in herself. In contrary to her reserved self, she can talk in a straightforward manner and doesn't hesitate to confront others. She can also be also slightly possessive, as she doesn't react well when Yotsuba kisses Fuutarou on the cheek to wipe some cream, and overall she gets pouty whenever another girl, especially one of her sisters, gets a little too close for comfort with Fuutarou.

It is shown that she has an obsession with generals from the Sengoku Period. She is greatly influenced by their philosophies, to the point of affecting her real-life behavior. She hides this fact from her everyone and is embarrassed when Fuutarou found out. When Fuutarou challenged her to a duel of historical knowledge, she donned a set of armour similar to Takeda Shingen's.

Despite her slightly negative outlook on life, such as when she asks Fuutarou to give up on her, she is the first sister to abide by the Gotoubun Principle. Miku always reminds herself to follow this principle, going as far as compromising her own interest to make sure everyone is treated equally. Miku is also a genuinely kind person: she becomes the second Nakano quintuplet after Yotsuba to accept Fuutarou, and the first one to openly fall for him. Her interactions with him after her first character arc have her either being wholeheartedly supportive of him, gentle with him, or worried for him. She's also seen helping an old woman cross the street in one chapter.

Miku has a depressed sense of modesty and cares little about her appearance compared to her sisters; not even acknowledging situations where her body is exposed. She didn't mind removing her long socks in front of her tutor or bother wearing flashy clothing. Despite this, she seems to harbor insecurities about her own appearance, as she confides to Nino that she doesn't view herself as cute compared to her and ichika.

According to Fuutarou, each Nakano Quintuplet has their own characteristics regarding their sheets. In Miku's case, she has good handwriting.

Ability
""Miku is the smartest of us.""

According to Yotsuba, Miku is the smartest among the sisters with her strongest subject being Social Studies. She has an extensive knowledge of Japanese History. She has the ability to imitate her sisters' looks and personality without the others recognising; far more than the extent of Ichika's ability.

Miku, most likely, has the lowest physical capabilities among her sisters and she is bad at cooking. It is implied that she has a lack of romantic knowledge, due to the fact that she's less capable to comprehend the reasoning behind human relationships.
