Non Non Biyori is an anime that will have you feeling relaxed and at ease with its country life. Following the second season, Non Non Biyori Repeat, the third season of the anime, Non Non Biyori Nonstop, is scheduled to air in 2021. As this is a long-awaited third season, many people have been looking forward to it. The Non Non Biyori series features a variety of unique and adorable characters, but one character that stands out above all others is the main character, Miyauchi Renge. In this article, we will give you a thorough introduction to the main character, Miyauchi Renge!
What kind of character is Miyauchi Renge?
Miyauchi Renge is a first-grade elementary school student. Her birthday is December 3rd, and her blood type is B. She has long silver (purple) hair in twin tails tied with a yellow ribbon. Although she has a very cute appearance, she lacks emotions for a first-grade elementary school student, and is characterized by a generally blank expression. She looks quite young, and has a somewhat surreal atmosphere. However, she has a curious personality and is more tomboyish than she looks, showing a side that is appropriate for her age. Everyone calls her "Ren-chon."
Unique sensibility
Renge, who has a unique sensibility, also has a different way of speaking, adding "non", "nan", or "n" to the end of her sentences (which are dialects, by the way), and greetings are "nyanpasu". She is often not understood by those around her. She also has a hobby (?) of giving strange nicknames, such as "gu" (food) for wild raccoons, "day-to-day living" for cicada larvae, "hikarimono oyakata" (master of light) for carp in the pond, and "oshio" (salt) for crabs... Her sensibility, which other characters do not have, is worth paying attention to. In addition, Renge has many original words, such as "Sosunsu", a mysterious martial art that targets the collarbone, and "Suko", which expresses disappointment.
Favorite foods, least favorite foods
Renge's favorite food is curry, and her least favorite food is green peppers. By the way, she learned the taste of curry in her childhood through hard work.
Miyauchi Renge, who is actually an excellent student
Although Renge is so unique, she actually has a gap in her personality, being an excellent student. She always gets 100 points on tests and gets all A's on her report cards. She is also very fast at calculations. Furthermore, even though he doesn't know the multiplication table, he has the amazing talent of being able to add, multiply, and calculate the multiplication table in his head at high speed. He also has a talent for drawing, and when he drew a picture of Komari, he won the gold medal in a children's illustration contest. However, his illustrations are quite avant-garde for an elementary school student, and what he thinks is art is grotesque (!), so his sensibilities are a little off. He also doesn't like people seeing his drawings while he's in the middle of drawing.
Actually, he's a reliable person
Looking at him like this, his unique sensibility and difference from those around him make him seem like just a mysterious character, but at the same time, he also has a fairly reliable side. She is very obedient for a first grader, and yet she is the most sensible of her sisters.
About Miyauchi Renge's Sisters
Renge has two older sisters. They get along well, but their sisters are also quite unique, so sometimes Renge's personality is overshadowed.
Miyauchi Kazuho
One of Renge's older sisters. She is the eldest daughter. Everyone calls her "Kazu-nee" and Renge calls her "Nee-nee." She is 24 years old and a teacher at Asahioka Branch School. Since there are only a few students, she is in charge of all the classes for Renge and the others. She has a very laid-back personality, and is a habitual oversleeper and sleeps at the desk during class (since it is basically self-study), which shows some unteacher-like behavior. For these reasons, she is not relied on much, but during her trip to Okinawa, she tried to act like a teacher and was exhausted.
Miyauchi Hikage
One of Renge's older sisters. She is the second daughter. Everyone calls her "Hika-nee" and she is a graduate of Asahioka Branch School. She is a first-year high school student. Although she looks similar to Renge, Hikage has a strong emotional response. She is a bit of a show-off, and since she went to high school in Tokyo after graduating from Asahioka Branch School, she sometimes acts urbane when she visits home.
Renge Miyauchi and her friendships
Here is an introduction to the relationships and friendships around Renge. As mentioned above, Renge is the youngest of three sisters, and is the youngest in the story. She is also quite attached to Kaede, also known as "Dagashiya", a graduate of Asahioka Branch School, and looks up to her more than her own sister. She is also good friends with Koshigaya Natsumi at school, and is often seen hanging out with her. She also actively tried to become friends with transfer student Hotaru as soon as they met. Although Hotaru was at times confused by Renge's unique sensibilities, they are now very good friends.
What is Dagashiya?
Kaede, also known as Dagashiya, looks like a yankee and has a very straightforward personality. However, she has a very sweet side towards Renge, and has been fond of her since she was a child. When Renge caught a cold, she closed her own candy store and came to visit her on her motorcycle. By the way, her nickname "Candy Shop" comes from the fact that she runs a candy shop.
Renge Miyauchi Living in the Countryside
Renge attends Asahioka Branch School. Asahioka Branch School is located in a peaceful countryside. There are almost no convenience stores or shops around, so it is peaceful, but Renge, who has lived here since she was born, was not aware that she lived in the countryside. However, when Hotaru moved from Tokyo, Renge began to wonder if she lived in the countryside. At this time, Natsumi told her, "It's not the countryside," and she calmed down. However, Renge and the others missed the bus and the next one was two hours later, so Natsumi muttered, "The countryside is inconvenient, isn't it?" Then Renge realized that she lived in the countryside.
Renge is interested in the city
Hikage, one of Renge's older sisters, attends high school in Tokyo. When Hikage comes home, Renge hears various stories about the city from her. They have fun with buildings that can only be seen by lifting their chins and pretending to be bullet trains. By the way, Renge was working as a salesgirl on the train at that time.
Are you more interested in airplanes than bullet trains?
In the midst of all this, Hotaru and the others come to visit. Unlike Hikage, Hotaru was born and raised in Tokyo. When she tells Renge that she came by plane when she moved, she gets excited talking about airplanes, ignoring the bullet train.
What is the relationship between Renge and Honoka?
One summer vacation, Renge makes a friend her own age. Her name is Honoka. She is a first-grader at elementary school and comes to visit her grandmother's house, where she becomes friends with Renge. Honoka, who had a camera, was guided by Renge and took pictures of the countryside. She was very happy to have made a friend her own age, as she had been the youngest until now.
But suddenly, separation came
Renge had been playing with Honoka all summer long. The two had made a promise to play together again the next day, but when Renge went to pick her up in the morning, she had suddenly disappeared. Honoka had gone home due to her father's sudden work commitments. Renge was close to tears. This scene became a hot topic as it was one of the most heartbreaking in the Non Non Biyori series.
【Non Non Biyori Nonstop】Summary of the main character Miyauchi Renge!
That's all about Miyauchi Renge, the main character of the Non Non Biyori series. What did you think? Although Renge has a unique sensibility, she also has a surprisingly strong side. She also sometimes shows a childlike side appropriate for her age, which is very cute. Renge is the youngest student at Asahigaoka Branch School, and is loved by everyone, no matter what. It seems that we will be able to see even more of Renge's exploits in the new anime series. I'm really looking forward to it!
