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 to Ichika on her feelings, Chapter 55

Miku Nakano (なか , Nakano Miku?) is the third sister of the Nakano Quintuplets, and one of the main characters of the 5-toubun no Hanayome series. She has a timid personality.

Appearance

Miku is an emotionless looking girl with medium-length brownish-red hair with strands of hair hanging over the right side of her face (ranging from light pink to antique pink shade in Volume 1, and pearl pink to beige brown shade in Volume 4 [6][7]). Her notable accessory is a set of wireless headphones that have a triangle-shaped logo on the ear cups (Audio-Technica).[8] 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. Miku wears a ranzel.[9][10] Miku has a Japanese-themed room.[11]

History

Miku threw away her Kurobara Girls High School's PE uniform. Due to unexplored reasons, Miku bore the deepest hatred towards her previous school compared to her sisters.[12]

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.[13] Fuutarou Uesugi notes that Miku doesn't have faith in herself.[14] In contrary to her reserved self, she can talk in a straightforward manner and doesn't hesitate to confront others.[15]

Miku has an obsession with generals from the Sengoku Period.[16] She is greatly influenced by their philosophies, to the point of affecting her real-life behavior.[17] Miku hides this fact from her everyone and is embarrassed when Fuutarou found out.[18]

Miku versus Fuutarou.

Among the Sengoku generals, the one Miku like the most is Takeda Shingen. This is hinted many times throughout the series. She sets Takeda's crest as her phone's wallpaper.[19] She usually quotes the verses from Fūrinkazan, which was the war flag used by Takeda Shingen. When Fuutarou challenged Miku to a duel of historical knowledge, Miku is portrayed to be donning a set of armor that is identical to Takeda Shingen's.[20]

Despite her slightly negative outlook on life, such as when Miku asks Fuutarou to give up on her[21], 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.[22]

According to Fuutarou, each Nakano Quintuplet has their own characteristics regarding their sheets.[23] In Miku's case, she has good handwriting.

Favorites

Miku's favorite drink is Matcha Soda, which, according to Fuutarou, has a weird flavor. Miku prefers green tea to black tea.

Ability

According to Yotsuba Nakano, Miku is the smartest among the sisters[24] with her strongest subject being Social Studies.[25] She has an extensive knowledge of Japanese History.[26] Miku is also shown to be able to perfectly imitate her sisters' looks and personality without the others recognizing.[27][28]

Miku has low physical capabilities (probably the lowest among the quints) and she is bad at cooking.[29][30] She is also less able to comprehend the reasoning behind human relationships, implying a lack of romantic knowledge.[31]

This is about someone I know. She wanted to confess her feelings, but she couldn't because she didn't have the confidence... it seems. Because if she were to confess, things wouldn't be able to go back to the way they were before. That's the sort of courage it takes to confess. [to herself] And to think that there are people in this world with that kind of courage... Why am I such a coward?

Fuutarou is my teacher, and I'm his student. That won't change. But that doesn't mean everything else won't change.
