Description
Nanami Kanzaki, Haruto Kirishima's classmate since middle school and his initial romantic interest, has short black hair, brown eyes, and a height of 161 cm. Her measurements are 87-58-85, with blood type O, and a December 25 birthday. She hails from rural Hiroshima, where her family operates an apple farm. Modest, shy, and occasionally insecure, Nanami often feels like an outsider in Haruto's friend group. She struggles to hide discomfort in awkward situations, sometimes reacting impulsively. Despite her reserved nature, she maintains a long-term friendship with the extroverted Haruna, whom she occasionally envies.
Yuzuki Eba's arrival facilitates Nanami and Haruto's closer interaction, allowing him to approach her after years of unrequited feelings. During a summer festival, Haruto confesses, but Nanami requests time to reconsider before rejecting him. She bases her decision on observing Haruto unconsciously prioritizing Yuzuki—consistently abandoning plans with Nanami to aid Yuzuki—which fuels Nanami's insecurity about a relationship. Post-rejection, she avoids Haruto and acts coldly.
On a school trip to Tokyo, Nanami accompanies Haruto to deliver a gift to Yuzuki. She asks him to pose as her boyfriend and holds his hand, deliberately causing a misunderstanding that contributes to Yuzuki breaking up with Haruto. Witnessing Haruto's depression afterward, Nanami regrets her actions and actively pursues him—quitting as baseball manager to join his cooking club and walk home with him. Learning from Rin Eba about Yuzuki's new Tokyo boyfriend, Nanami initially withholds the news, believing Haruto seems happier. However, upon realizing Haruto still hopes for Yuzuki's return, she reveals the truth and confesses her desire to date him. Haruto postpones answering, suspecting Yuzuki might be in trouble.
When Haruto returns from Tokyo, Nanami claims to have moved on but blushes when he mentions remembering her birthday because he "likes her." She enrolls at Seijo University alongside Haruto, Yuzuki, Takashi, Akari, and Kiyomi. During this period, she witnesses Haruto leaving a love hotel with another woman and alerts Akari and Kiyomi to confront him. Over time, Nanami overcomes her lingering feelings for Haruto and begins dating Akihito Fujikawa. Her brother Narumi Kanzaki eventually marries Akari Kaga.
