The anime "Yagate Kimi ni Naru" has been airing since October 2018. It is based on the manga of the same name by Nakatani Nio, which is currently being serialized in the manga magazine "Monthly Comic Dengeki Daioh". The story begins with the protagonist, Koito Yuu, a first-year high school student who does not understand the feeling of falling in love, being confessed to by a close friend at the time of graduating from junior high school, but unable to reply. After entering high school, she is still struggling to reply, so she consults with Nanami Touko, a second-year student and member of the student council. Nanami says that she is not moved by anyone who confesses to her, but immediately after hearing Koito's consultation, she confesses, "I think I'm falling in love with you." This is a work that depicts the love story between Koito and Nanami. In this article, I would like to introduce the charm of Nanami Touko, who is attracted to Koito Yuu, the protagonist of "Yagate Kimi ni Naru".
① A second-year high school student at Tomi Higashi High School!

Nanami Touko is a second-year student at Tohmi Higashi High School. She has been a member of the student council since her first year of high school, and even back then she was more prominent than the student council president. When the main character, Koito Yuu, is troubled, she quickly pours her tea and gently asks if there is something wrong. She is considerate.
② A beautiful woman with long black hair!

When it comes to Nanami Touko, she is characterized by her silky long black hair. Nanami is beautiful and cool, and is popular with both boys and girls, and has even been confessed to by a female student. She uses a black school bag to go to school. She wears black tights to match her uniform. Perhaps because she is a member of the student council, her skirt is long.
③ Student council members who are highly trusted by students

Nanami Touko has taken on the role of the student council's "face" in place of the student council president, who rarely showed up due to his club responsibilities. Nanami has been a standout since her first year and is well-liked by many students. Because of this, she later decides to run for student council president.
④ An honor student with excellent grades

Since enrolling, Nanami Touko has maintained first and second place in her grades along with her best friend Saeki Sayaka. Since her first year, she has been active in the student council and continues to achieve top marks in her grades. She is the perfect example of an honor student.
⑤Can she sometimes act childish?

Nanami Touko is an honor student with excellent grades who is active in the student council, but she also has childish sides, such as making someone she likes (Koito Yu) the person in charge of recommendations for personal reasons and showing her feelings on her face. This contrast is also one of her charms.
⑥ Obey your instincts?!

Nanami Touko says that she has never been moved by anyone's confession, but when she receives love advice from the main character, Koito Yuu, and falls in love with Koito, she pulls Koito close and suddenly confesses, "I think I'm falling in love with you." Later, on the way home with Koito, when she says, "We're both girls after all! Well, even if we weren't both girls, I don't think I'd fall in love with you," he suddenly kisses her and says, blushing, "When I say I love you, I mean I want to do this." It seems that when it comes to Koito, he sometimes acts instinctively.
⑦ Nanami Touko changes after meeting Koito Yuu

Until she met Koito Yuu, Nanami Touko had lived her life trying not to rely on others, but when Koito told her before the student council election campaign speech that it would be okay if she saw Nanami's weakness, it wouldn't change anything, she began to rely on Koito. For Nanami, Koito is the only person she can be herself with, and she doesn't need to be special, she feels safe with that.
⑧Weak to pressure

Nanami Touko pushes Koito Yuu by saying "I want to kiss you" and "I want to call you by your first name," but she doesn't seem to be used to being pushed. There are also scenes where she says she wants Koito to call her by her first name, but then gets embarrassed and quickly takes it back, and then gets embarrassed when she's called by her first name.
⑨High level of consciousness aiming high

Nanami Touko strives to become a perfect being like her sister, and her high level of consciousness is one of her charms. In the past, she has said that having her best friend, Sayaka Saeki, who is a high-achieving student, close by keeps her from slacking off and encourages her to strive to be the person she wants to be.
