About Miku Nakano
Miku is the third sister from the quintuplets. The meaning behind her name ‘Mi’ (三) means three while ‘Ku’ (玖) means black jewel.
About Miku Nakano: Background
Miku has a very quiet personality when compared with the rest of the quintuplets. She has a very pessimistic view of herself and doesn’t think highly of herself. While she has low confidence she doesn’t really care if Futaro sees her in just a towel after taking a bath or taking off her tights. She doesn’t see the point of trying to dress up but has thoughts about how she isn’t as cute compared to her sisters.
Her personality is reserved and she keeps her hobbies hidden. Futaro’s first impression of Miku was that he couldn’t get a proper read of her. He didn’t know how to treat her but after finding out about her hobby he started to study more about historical facts. He had challenged Miku to a duel about historical facts and when Futaro thought Miku was finally opening up to him she rejected him due to his lack of knowledge.
Miku loved Sengoku period generals and didn’t want others to find out as she was embarrassed. She didn’t want to accept Futaro as she wanted someone better. However, after seeing Futaro try his best to learn more about her likes she accepted him as their tutor.
Futaro was able to become a tutor who motivated Miku to want to study and learn more. He inspired her and she gradually harbored feelings toward Futaro. After she realized her feelings, she became a bit possessive and doesn't like it when her sisters are affectionate with Futaro.
About Miku Nakano: Abilities
Miku is able to mimic her sisters' looks, characteristics, and personalities without the others realizing it. She cares about her sisters and knows them in and out, allowing her to imitate them well. According to Yotsuba, Miku is the most intelligent out of the quintuplets, but she is still someone who almost failed at their previous school.
Miku loves Sengoku period generals so she has a vast knowledge of Japanese history. Her best subject is social studies. While being the most intelligent out of her sisters, when it comes to relationships and romantic knowledge she is quite clueless.
