Nino Nakano (中なか野の 二に乃の, Nakano Nino?) is the second sister of the Nakano Quintuplets. She usually acts as the mother of the family, cooking for them and taking care of their medical needs. Among the five sisters, she is the one with the most hostility towards Fuutarou Uesugi and often rebels against him early in the series.

APPEARANCE:

Her notable accessories are twin butterfly-shaped ribbons on both sides of her head. Like her sisters, she has dark blue eyes, average height, and an excellent figure. She wears a long-sleeved sweater that covers her uniform and a pair of white socks that cover her thighs. She wears contact lenses to address her poor eyesight. Both she and Ichika use a tote bag. She is known for being the most fashionable girl among the sisters, as she has several cute accessories and takes care of her nails. Nino has a rabbit-shaped phone cover. Nino is shown to be able to cook, and makes cookies with cute designs. She also has cute kitchen gloves. Nino is the only sister who has not yet pierced her ears, however, she plans to do so before getting married.

PERSONALITY:

She is outgoing and social, which makes her have many friends, noted by Yotsuba who calls her a "social butterfly". Ichika comments that she is the most delicate among the sisters. Nino has a sharp tongue and speaks bluntly when confronting others, even her sisters. Her rebellious attitude makes her the least cooperative girl among the sisters. Despite the cold and rude front, Nino is caring and protective. It is also evident by her willingness to act as the family's cook, ignoring her care towards her own appearance (cooking activities can lead to bad odor, damaged nails, etc.). She is also shown to always have band-aids with her, possibly as a precaution for Yotsuba's active behavior. Despite her motherly demeanor, Nino can be forgetful at times and is afraid of needles.

TASTES AND INTERESTS:

Fuutarou's story moves Nino and he sheds a tear. Nino finds the story touching. Nino is more interested in a romance movie, while Itsuki prefers the science documentary. Nino prefers black tea because it can be customized to his mood. Nino tends to use a lot of sugar in his tea. According to Fuutarou, each quintuplet has their own characteristics regarding their papers. In Nino's case, she files her papers carefully. According to Ichika, Fuutarou has to be firm when dealing with Nino and be gentle when dealing with Itsuki. In Nino's dream it is revealed that she wants to open her own restaurant, and it has been her dream since she was a child.

CAPABILITIES:

Academically, among the sisters, Nino ranks at the bottom of the five, with her strongest subject being English. Nino has been shown to be a good cook, from everyday meals to cookies and congee. She is able to make many friends, as noted by Yotsuba Nakano, who called her a "social butterfly." According to Nino, the sisters have their individual preferences, which makes it difficult for her to cook for them. She has poor eyesight, so she needs contact lenses for her daily activities. Despite having many friends, she is unable to recognize Fuutarou with a simple wig, implying the alien side of her. However, this is possibly due to her darker surroundings and her crush on a blonde-haired Fuutarou.

INTERESTING FACTS:

The name Nino means "two" (二) and "de" (乃) (no). The purple rose petals on the cover of Volume 3 (Nino's volume) mean "love at first sight", which is possibly a reference to her affection towards Kintarou, who is in fact Fuutarou Uesugi. Nino has several dolls in her bed. One doll in particular is often seen in the background or as a cameo throughout the series. Nino's dream is to open a restaurant. Nino sleeps in a purple striped nightgown and from a panel in the manga we can deduce that she does not wear underwear under it.
