Sakura Kagamihara's first appearance scene in the anime was in episode 1, "Mr. Fuji and Curry Noodles," when she came to pick up Nadeshiko, who had overslept at Lake Motosu.

In the anime, the scene where she first appears and scolds Nadeshiko who is almost lost at sea was very memorable. When I first saw this scene, I thought she was Nadeshiko's mother, but it seems they are sisters.
Even though he called Nadeshiko a "pig," he still came to pick her up, acting like a guardian to her.

Scolding the fat Nadeshiko and making her go on a diet

In a past episode, when Nadeshiko was in the third year of junior high school, she was eating only sweets and sleeping at home, and she had become quite fat. Sakura, unable to bear the situation, scolded Nadeshiko harshly and forced her to go on a diet.
At that time, she made her diet by cycling around Lake Hamana every day, and according to Nadeshiko, at the time, her sister looked like a demon to her. Sakura is in the position to watch over Nadeshiko, but it seems that she often has a hard time with her free-spirited sister.
② Normally expressionless and doesn't show emotions

Sakura generally doesn't show emotions, and has a near expressionless, listless atmosphere. Her personality is the polar opposite of her younger sister, who expresses joy, anger, sadness, and happiness with her whole body. It is not clear to others whether she is happy or angry.
Nadeshiko can tell if she is in a good or bad mood

Although it is hard for others to guess how Sakura is feeling, Nadeshiko can tell if she is in a good or bad mood just by looking at her face. That's exactly what you'd expect from family. In fact, Sakura was driving Nadeshiko and Rin-chan to and from camping, and although Sakura looked expressionless to Rin-chan, Nadeshiko said she was in a good mood.
In fact, there was a scene where they were having fun drinking hot chai at the campsite, so it seems that Nadeshiko was right.
③ I like tribes

Sakura is a university student with a driver's license. She loves driving and often goes out with her friends. She is often in charge of taking the Nadeshikos to and from camp, and while you would think she would find it annoying, it was impressive to see her enjoying the drive.
The campsites that the Nadeshikos go to are all quite far from Nanbu Town where they live, but she still takes them there and back without showing any signs of being bothered, which shows that she really enjoys driving.
What kind of car does Sakura drive?

Many people are probably wondering what kind of car Sakura is driving. The most likely theory is that the car Sakura is driving is the Nissan Rasheen.
The Nissan Rasheen is an SUV that was manufactured between 1994 and 2000. It has a large interior and is easy to move around in, so it's a good car for the outdoors. Also, there is information that the car in the work is a customized Rasheen that is actually on sale, so this also shows her love of driving.
④ He basically stands by and watches his sister's appetite

Nadeshiko has a big appetite and eats something everywhere. She has been seen stuffing her face with snacks and rice balls even in the car on the way to the campsite. Her sister basically just watches from the sidelines and leaves her alone.
Summary

From the anime, we can see that Nadeshiko's older sister, Sakura Kagamihara, is basically a caring and kind older sister. It feels like she is watching over her free-spirited sister from a reasonable distance. Sakura herself is also probably the type who likes the outdoors. In "Laid-Back Camp△", the camping scenes of Nadeshiko and her friends are the main focus, but Sakura's outdoor stories may come out from now on. I think "Laid-Back Camp△" will continue as a manga from now on, but it will be interesting to see how Sakura Kagamihara will be involved in the story.
