Nanaka Nakatomi is a second-year student at Kitanohashi High School and a regular member of the Magic Club. She has been best friends with Sae Sawanoguchi since kindergarten, and it is primarily this friendship that has kept her in the club; Nanaka would much rather quit and live a normal high school life, but she refuses to leave without Sae, and Sae has no intention of leaving. Nanaka is level-headed, down-to-earth, and often acts as the voice of reason among her more eccentric peers. She has a practical and sometimes bossy disposition, a short temper, and she is not afraid to speak her mind directly, even to older students. Despite her frustration with Sae’s dreamy obsession with magic, Nanaka is a caring and dependable friend who looks out for Sae. She is also proficient in magic herself, possibly more so than she lets on, though her natural talent does not change her wish to be an ordinary girl. Nanaka has a romantic crush on the club’s vice president, Ayanojyo Aburatsubo, but she is afraid to admit her feelings because she knows they will not be returned. Her family she describes as all over the place; while their antics often embarrass and aggravate her, she loves them dearly. Her grounded perspective provides a necessary counterbalance to the club’s more fantastical leanings, and her loyalty to Sae is the primary reason she remains involved in the Magic Club’s adventures. Nanaka has short black hair and brown eyes, and her birthday is September 17.
