Miyuki Nanase (七瀬 美雪 Nanase Miyuki) is the best friend/love interest of Hajime Kindaichi. She is the main deuteragonist in Kindaichi Case Files.
Appearance[]
Miyuki is a pretty girl with upper-back length brown hair that has two light pink hair pins clipped on either side with bangs swept on either side, brown eyes and a tall slender body.
Due to her beauty, many male characters tend to hit on her, much to Hajime Kindaichi's dismay.
Description[]
Miyuki has a strong personality where she helps people in need and she is the hope which Hajime Kindaichi clings onto when in disarray. Even though she spends time with other guys, she still loves Hajime where they lead a carefree life where Hajime thinks of pervert things about Miyuki and Miyuki keeps hitting, slapping or scolding him.
In the series, she has the role of supporting one who lacks academic ability, so she appears almost every time , except for the Yukikage Village Murder Case and the Drifting Firefox Murder Case, which is only at the beginning.
A self-proclaimed mystery maniac with top-level academic achievement, her intuition and insight are particularly outstanding, and she is also very good as a detective assistant.
While strong in general education and school study knowledge, she is weak in logic that requires flexibility in thinking, such as puzzles and quizzes, and she advocates a highly conspicuous alibi work such as "He moved by hang gliding" in Murder by Gentleman Thief, so reasoning ability In itself, it cannot be said to be on the high side, and is probably lower than Fumi, who solved a murder case on her own (even with the help of Kindaichi).
Unlike some detective series assistants who have their own skills, she is a normal high school girl in terms of physical ability. Even though she was in an experiment in a surreal situation, she didn't show anxiety like the other members. There is also a carefree side that she can ski. She rarely stands up to the criminal except in Western-style Village Murder Case, and even in the middle of an incident, she never seems to be relieved even if she is with someone other than Kindaichi. There is no recklessness like trying to move around. According to her, "Ever since I was little," she believes that Hajime is not the culprit no matter how you look at it . I put my full trust in him, except for his will to believe in his innocence." However, she also has the ability to act, instinctively that "something happened" to the missing Kindaichi, and to go outside in the snow to find him by himself in Tarot Mountain Hut Murder Case.
Miyuki, who shows her true worth as a supporting role in a mystery work with many active heroines, is in a sense a maverick and quite docile. However, she does say, ``I want to be able to do the same thing as Kindaichi, and I want to be of some help to him.'' in Amakusa Treasure Legend Murder Case
In the Alchemy Murder Case, she shows a logical deduction that is partially correct, enough to impress Kindaichi. In the next, she also sums up the outline of the case and makes a full-fledged statement, raising the level of support. Although she is clumsy, she can also do magic tricks. In the drama version, although she showed a lax deduction in the inference of the Western-style Hotel Murder Case , she succeeds in the big job of persuading the criminal who went out of control. Unlike the early days when she often fell into a serious pinch, it can be said that the number of turns on other routes has increased, probably because such cases have decreased dramatically recently.
In the Western-style Village Murder Case, Kindaichi, who was worried about the danger, refused even if he told him to "go back to Tokyo," and chose to stay even if she asked him to sleep in the same bed. In the first case in the series, "Opera House Murder Case", she fainted when she saw the corpse of the first victim, Orie Hidaka (although the victim may have been a close friend). However, she gradually became accustomed to the place, and Teppei Yao, who was involved in a murder for the first time in the first case of Case series, " Murder in the Forest of Demon Dogs", was too accustomed to the corpse and in the first R series, Snow Goblin Legend Murder Case, whether she will be paid for a part-time job even though she are in the case. She said that she was worried about it, and even said ," I'm used to it and I'm scared ."
History[]
Miyuki was first featured in Episode 1 when she comes to scold Hajime Kindaichi for skipping classes, not studying, etc. Her friends comment that why a excellent student like Miyuki should be friends with a slacker like him. In the first case, Miyuki is hit on the head and admitted to the hospital. Hajime gives up the case stating that Miyuki is more important to him than anything, but Isamu Kenmochi fills him with wisdom words and Hajime solves the case for Miyuki's sake. From there onwards, she accompanies him in all most all adventures.
Miyuki is "Hajime-chan"'s childhood friend and next-door neighbor, although many question why a model student like Miyuki is friends with a slacker like him. Deep down inside, Miyuki feels Hajime is not an idiot, and they seem to have a love that neither has yet fully expressed.
Her birthday is November 24, as stated in "The Murderer From the Screen". She possesses remarkable logic and perception, as demonstrated by her 'filling in' for him to solve a murder mystery in the live-action series while the latter was being warded for appendicitis, although she is obviously not as gifted as he is.
Miyuki is the president of Fudo High's student council. Miyuki was first introduced to the Mystery Club by Ruiko Sakuragi along with Hajime, she serves as the president of the Mystery Club after Sakuragi's death.
