There has to be at least one person on Earth, who would love a tactless guy like you.

― Nino Nakano to Fuutarou Uesugi

Nino Nakano (なか , Nakano Nino?) is one of the main characters of the 5-toubun no Hanayome series. She is the second sister of the Nakano Quintuplets who usually acts as the mother of the family; cooking for them [5] and taking care of their medical needs.[6] Among the five sisters, she is the one who has the highest hostility towards Fuutarou Uesugi and often rebelled against him early in the series.

Appearance

Nino is a cute and cold-looking girl with waist-length or hip-length straight hair (but it is later cut to shoulder-length in Vol. 4 Ch. 46 and shown in Vol. 5 Ch. 47) that has square bangs hanging over her eyebrows. She has reddish-pink hair, ranging from light pink to telemagenta [7] in Volume 1 and antique pink to red-violet[8] in Volume 4.

Her notable accessories are twin butterfly-shaped ribbons [9] on both sides of her head. Like her sisters, she has dark blue eyes, an average height, a well-endowed figure and large breasts. She wears a long-sleeved sweater that covers her uniform and a pair of white thigh-high socks. Both her and Ichika Nakano use a handbag [10][11].

She is noted to be the more fashionable girl among the sisters, as she has various cute accessories [12] and takes care of her nails [13]. Her ears have yet to be pierced, but she plans to have them at least before marriage [14].

Personality

Nino has an outgoing personality and is socially aware, resulting in her having many friends and is a social butterfly.[15] She has a sharp tongue[16] and talks bluntly when confronting others, even to her sisters [17]. Her rebellious attitude makes her the least cooperative girl among the sisters, making her archetype resemble that of a "tsundere".

Despite the cold and rude front, Nino is caring[18] and protective[19], like when she is touched by Fuutarou Uesugi's past; remarking that it is tearjerking. It is also evident by her willingness to act as the cook of the family, ignoring her care towards her own appearance (culinary activities may lead to foul odor, damaged nails, etc.). She is also shown to always have band-aids with her, possibly as a precaution to Yotsuba Nakano's active behavior[20].

Her interests seem to lie more on romance than anything else. An example is when she wanted to watch a romance movie, whilst Itsuki Nakano preferred a science documentary instead. With this is mind, she likes to openly state her feelings for Fuutarou, regardless of whether it's in front of him or her sisters.

According to Fuutarou, each Nakano Quintuplet has their own characteristics regarding their sheets [21], but in Nino's case, she will file her papers neatly.

Abilities

Academically, among the sisters, Nino ranks in the lower part of the five, with her strongest subject being English.

Nino is shown to be a good cook, ranging from daily meals to cookies to congee.[22] She is capable of making a lot of friends, as noted by Yotsuba Nakano. According to Nino, the sisters have their individual preferences, which makes it harder for her to cook for them.[23]

She has poor eyesight, needing contact lenses for her daily activities.[24] An example is when she is incapable of recognizing Fuutarou Uesugi in a simple wig, implying her oblivious side.[25] However, this is possibly due to darker surroundings and her infatuation towards him being blonde.
