Spotlight Character: Misaki Nakahara (Welcome to the NHK!)



MAL Character Information Page: Misaki Nakahara


MAL Favorites: 1200

For the next week I would like to have everyone familiar with this character discuss what they think makes it an exceptional character. What attributes make it stand out in the ocean of interesting characters that exist in the realms of anime and manga.

Unlike the other two subjects I will not force this conversation to fall into any set structure. Characters that are nominated typically get here because they are adept at breaking the existing character moulds and defying definition.

Because of this freedom I encourage everyone to do their very best to stay on topic and keep any and all debate civil. Have fun and I look forward to seeing what everyone has to say about this character.

I like the show because it was funny, but I don't think any of the characters in NHK are worthy of induction.
Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone

It's a pity the novel's not allowed, because a) I would've said yes, b) I haven't seen/read the anime/manga.

I think this is going to be slightly problematic, due to the considerable differences between the anime and manga. I like her character and its twists in the manga. I will abstain.

Based on the anime, no. Based on the manga, yes.

NHK is at it's best in it's character driven moments, and Misaki was perhaps the leading force in that respect, if not Satou himself. Her dramatic personality disorder makes her consistently interesting to watch and generally unpredictable, since you rarely know how much she's making up and how much is actually true. The co-dependency angle was also very interesting.

It's been so long since I read the manga I've completely forgotten the events that went on. Kinda shows how much of an impact it had on me so I'm going with no.
