The main heroine of CLANNAD, a high school senior girl. She is a classmate who is one year older than Tomoya and the others, as she essentially repeated her third year of high school. Although she has a relatively introverted personality and finds it hard to make friends, she is very gentle and kind, with a strong sense of justice. Meeting Okazaki Tomoya transformed her life into something much bigger and brighter every day.
Nagisa Furukawa's charm number 1: cute looks

It's hard to find a character in CLANNAD who isn't cute, but Nagisa is still cute. The stray hair growing out of her head is a great charm point, and she even gets hit on in the story. I think she's more cute than beautiful. She's not too mature, and not too loli, so I think she's in the best position.
Furukawa Nagisa's charm number 2: Bodhisattva-like kindness

He hates hurting others even if it hurts him, and will lend a hand to strangers if they ask for help. Furukawa Nagisa is a person who has a kindness that would make him lose out in life. He is able to shower pure kindness on others without any consideration of profit or loss, something that even a clergyman would not be able to do. And he never brags about it, and is humble, which means he is a very nice person, but I think that is Nagisa's great charm.

If Okazaki jokingly lies or deceives people, he will get angry. If Okazaki jokingly talks bad about Anzu in his usual light-hearted manner, he will scold him, and Anzu will scold him instead. Well, to put it negatively, he's the type who doesn't take jokes, but he's very serious and a good kid. Everyone lives a little dishonestly, but you won't see that side of Nagisa at all.
Furukawa Nagisa's charm point 4: The ideal family

A beautiful mother, a cool and funny father, and a cute daughter. At first glance, they're an ideal family, but more than anything, they're a wonderful family on the inside. Her parents are kind, but they are also good at correcting her mistakes, and her family is always smiling. Nagisa's life hasn't always been smooth sailing since he was born, but it's only because of this family that he grew up to be such a good kid. It's easy to understand why Nagisa has so much love for his family.
Nagisa Furukawa's charm number 5: Loving

Speaking of Nagisa, her unwavering love for Tomoya is also truly wonderful. When Tomoya was feeling down, when Tomoya was worried, she always supported him and maintained her unchanging and undying love. Before they realized they liked each other, their relationship was very innocent and cute, but Nagisa's straightforward love after they started dating was truly wonderful. It's not just about loving each other, but about growing together and solving problems together, and above all, Nagisa's desire to make the other person happy - that's an incredibly important role in CLANNAD.
Furukawa Nagisa's charm #6: As a mother

When Nagisa and Tomoya were blessed with the child they had longed for, it was very dangerous for Nagisa, who was physically weak, to give birth. Tomoya and his family were very worried and wanted Nagisa to live, but Nagisa, who still wanted a child, wanted to give birth without considering herself. She wanted to give birth to a child despite the opposition of those around her, and she wanted to cherish the life she shared with Tomoya. They say mothers are strong, but she really is. In the end, she becomes a really good mother in the living world, and it really feels like she's going to create a wonderful family just like the one Nagisa grew up with.

Basically, she is reliable and serious, but she blurts out embarrassing things without realizing it, she takes what people say to her at face value and does strange things, and because she has a good personality, she easily trusts people, and because she is funny and cute, people often tease her. That Nagisa is also an important charm.

The Dango Family is also the main theme of Nagisa. It is a popular character that appears in the anime from long ago, the ending theme, and Nagisa's theme song, and I think it represents the ideal family that Nagisa envisioned. At first I thought it was a joke, but in the end it became an indispensable part of Nagisa's existence.

As the title says, isn't she the ideal woman? Well, I suppose that's up to each individual, but when I watched CLANNAD, I thought Nagisa was a truly wonderful woman. She's kind, strong, and cute, and if I had to complain, it would be that she's a little timid. Tomoya and Nagisa's love story is truly a moving story, so it's a must-see. If you haven't seen it yet, hurry up and watch it, and if you have already seen it, watch it again! (lol) So, thank you for reading to the end.
