Miku is the first to develop feelings for Fuutarou in this work. She is shown making advances on Fuutarou on numerous occasions throughout the story, demonstrating her wifely qualities. However, not being able to study despite trying hard can be a pretty fatal blow... And what if her romantic feelings get in the way and she can't concentrate on her studies? In this article, we'll introduce the charms of this single-minded and serious Miku!
Miku's distinctive feature is the big headphones hanging from her neck

There are slight differences between the five sisters, such as their hair length and personalities, but Miku's biggest distinctive feature is the headphones hanging from her neck. Although there is no depiction that she particularly likes music, she always wears the same headphones around her neck. I wonder if she is just using them as a fashion statement or if there is some other meaning behind it.
She never takes off her headphones even when she is wearing a yukata

The sisters appeared together in yukata. Of course, Miku is also wearing a yukata, but she still has headphones around her neck. I feel like headphones don't really go well with a yukata, but maybe she has some kind of sentimental attachment to them. Even so, in this scene, we're only in episode 8, and Miku's reaction to Futaro is already getting heated.
An unexpected hobby? Miku loves Sengoku warlords

Miku is usually expressionless and doesn't say much, but there is one moment when she talks fluently and expressively! That was when she was talking about Sengoku warlords. Sometimes Miku looks happy, sometimes she is moved as she talks about Sengoku warlords. Fuutarou is also good at studying, so he is able to keep up with the conversation and their relationship deepens, but he is unable to answer one question and the gap between them widens.
The moment when she clearly began to fall in love with Fuutarou

In order to bridge the gap between the two, Fuutarou desperately reads up on Japanese history and studies Sengoku warlords thoroughly. As Fuutarou chases after the fleeing Miku, he tells her that they can now converse on an equal footing, and as he runs, Miku challenges him to a game of "samurai word chain." Although she narrowly loses the game, she is taken aback by Fuutarou's enthusiasm afterwards. It's unclear whether she is talking about studies or love, but she utters the following lines.
By the way, Miku's understanding is...

Miku secretly had a hobby of liking Sengoku warlords, but perhaps because she had revealed it to Futaro, she had also revealed to Nino that she was interested in Sengoku warlords. This was their reaction at that time... It looks like it will be a while until I can get my sisters to understand.
Miku gets serious after playing house

The day Ichika's office president's daughter comes to her house and she is to take care of her, the girl says she wants to play house. So the girl assigned her a rather realistic role: "an office worker who is in love with Fuutarou, who plays her father." However, Miku had realized at this point that Ichika was also interested in Fuutarou, and while keeping an eye on Ichika, she kept pushing forward with him.
A sudden, dramatic development?! Fuutarou declares his intention to marry her!

When Fuutarou encouraged a girl who was forcing herself on the fact that her mother had disappeared, saying "I don't need a mom," Miku naturally said, "Let's go out together." Miku seemed flustered after saying it herself, but Futaro's answer made her even more flustered: "Let's get married." This caused Ichika, who was with her, to panic as well.
Of course, the punch line is that it was all part of the pretend play...

I think 99% of people somehow figured it out when Futaro suddenly said this with a serious face, but this proposal declaration was part of the pretend play that the president's daughter wanted to play. Learning this, Miku is dejected and says, "It was a dud...", while Ichika seems relieved and says, "I was so worried." After that, Yotsuba returns and is appointed as a dog, while Nino and Itsuki are appointed as grandmothers.
Miku actively tries to ask Fuutarou out on a date

Miku sends an email with a serious look on her face, holding her smartphone in one hand. The message reads, "Tomorrow is a holiday, do you want to go out together?" Ichika, who sent the same email at the same time, was confused by the content of the message, which seemed like a date, but Miku seemed to have sent the email with the intention of it being a date just the two of them. In the end, she turned him down because she wanted to study.
A hellish scene is inevitable!? Miku comes to the store where Fuutarou and Yotsuba are

Not that they're good friends after being rejected, but Miku and Ichika come shopping together. She was wondering whether to buy Nino some clothes that she wanted, when she saw Fuutarou and Yotsuba... They were hiding out, having declined the two's invitation even though it was Raiha's request, and were on a date together.
Miku was the clear winner of the popularity poll

The official results of the popularity poll. In the beginning, Miku was the only one who showed affection for Fuutarou and was showing off her status as a legitimate wife, so to some extent it was expected that she would come in first, but she ended up coming in first place by a large margin, almost double the score over the other sisters, by about 1,000 votes. However, now the other sisters are also making their presence known, so we can't let our guard down in the next popularity poll.
Miku is the first of the sisters to express her feelings for Fuutarou

Until then, Miku had acted in a way that seemed to indicate her fondness many times. And Ichika had shown a reaction that seemed to indicate that she liked him. I still didn't know how the other sisters felt, but it was the 31st episode. During the campfire incident, Miku finally admitted that she liked Fuutarou.
Miku, who understands Ichika's feelings, declares herself a rival

Miku had always been resistant to "monopolizing" Fuutarou, sticking to the idea of "equality," but she finally realizes that she honestly wants to have Fuutarou all to herself. Instead, she tells Ichika, who is her rival, that she needn't be shy around her. From this day on, the two of them start to appeal to Futaro more and more.
Miku's weakness? Her cooking talent is hopeless!

Other than being bad at studying and having difficulty communicating, Miku doesn't seem to have any particular weaknesses, but she does have one. A terrible weakness...that's her terrible cooking! Surprisingly, compared to Nino, who is good at cooking, Miku's cooking is so hopeless that everyone agrees. The dish that was served, supposedly an omelet rice, no longer even resembled the original.
Even though she's bad at cooking, Miku wants to make homemade chocolate...

Valentine's Day is a major event for girls in love. In order for Miku to participate in the event, she makes Fuutarou eat chocolate every day until he gets a nosebleed, to check his preferences! However, when she finds out that it's impossible for her to make it on her own, she decides to ask Nino, who is good at cooking, for help. As usual, Nino belittles Miku. Just as she thinks Miku will get angry as usual, she looks frustrated, and Nino is taken aback by how serious she is.
Miku makes a mysterious black lump

She has a very serious look on her face, but the mysterious black lump immersed in the oil... even Yotsuba is in a hurry to say something when she sees it. Miku insists that the black object is actually a croquette and that she is confident in its taste. By the way, Yotsuba's first impression was that it was a stone, and Futaro's first impression was that it was a rice ball.
Miku asks, can you tell the five sisters apart by their moles?

Futaro couldn't tell them apart no matter how much time passed, but after a certain incident he decided to search for the culprit to determine who had the answer sheet with a zero. He tried various things but got no results. At that moment, Miku says that she can tell the difference even from the position of a mole. Fuutarou immediately asks her to show him. Then Miku suddenly lies down and looks a little lewd.

The voice actors for the anime version have finally been announced. The voice actor for Miku is Miku Ito! The name is a perfect fit for her role, as she is connected to Miku! (lol) Recently, she has appeared in "The Ryuo's Work is Never Done!" and "Garupa☆Pico", and although she is still young, she is increasingly playing leading characters.

The anime hasn't started yet, but Miku is by far the most popular character in the original work, judging by the popularity poll. Readers seem to love the sight of this quiet character taking the courage to make a bold move on Futaro. It will be exciting to see how this character's popularity grows even more now that the anime has started!
