OVA
Description
Nanami Kanzaki, a classmate of Haruto Kirishima since middle school, shares few interactions with him before they enter high school together. She exhibits a reserved, responsible, and somewhat shy personality with a mild temperament, frequently shown with a slight blush. Her family lives in rural Hiroshima, running an apple orchard. Her older brother, Narumi, pressures her into managing the baseball team despite her wish to join the cooking club.
Haruto harbors a long-standing attraction to Nanami, while her feelings for him remain undefined. She expresses a desire to become closer friends and integrates into his social circle, including his housemate Yuzuki Eba and childhood friends Takashi and Akari. However, she often perceives herself as an outsider, feeling their bonds surpass her own connections within the group.
When Haruto confesses at a summer festival, Nanami postpones her answer to reassess her emotions. She later rejects him, citing observations that he prioritizes Yuzuki's well-being—like leaving group outings to assist her—which fuels Nanami's insecurity about a potential relationship. This rejection strains their interactions, leading her to behave coldly toward Haruto.
During a school trip to Tokyo, Nanami follows Haruto delivering a gift to Yuzuki. She asks him to pretend to be her boyfriend and holds his hand, inadvertently causing a misunderstanding that contributes to Yuzuki breaking up with Haruto. Witnessing his subsequent depression, Nanami regrets her actions. She actively pursues him by quitting the baseball team to join the cooking club and arranging daily walks home together. She later confesses her desire to be his girlfriend, but Haruto delays his response due to concerns over Yuzuki's abrupt disappearance.
After Haruto transfers to Tokyo to reconcile with Yuzuki, Nanami claims to have moved on. She blushes when Haruto recalls her birthday (December 25) and implies lingering feelings. She enrolls at Seijo University alongside Haruto, Asuka, Takashi, and Akari. Post-graduation, Akari marries Nanami's brother Narumi, making them sisters-in-law. Nanami begins dating Fujikawa, signaling closure regarding Haruto.
Physically, she stands 161 cm tall with black hair, brown eyes, and blood type O.
