Sunako Nakahara of Yamato Nadeshiko

in #manga6 years ago (edited)

First of all here is the synopsis of the manga Yamato Nadeshiko. Takano Kyohei, Oda Takenaga, Toyama  Yukinojo, and Morii Ranmaru are going to rent a house to go to school  for free on the condition that they make the girl of the house a "lady."  However, Nakahara Sunako, the girl living there, is gloomy, weird, and  horror movie maniac. She has a trauma of when she was told she was ugly  by the boy whom she loved when she was in junior high school. She  doesn't like beautiful things and gets a nosebleed when she looks at  something beautiful.

Hence, here is the Wikipedia source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wallflower_(manga)

 The Wallflower is about a girl named Sunako who was called  ugly by the first and only person to whom she confessed her love. This  incident sparks a life change, and as a result Sunako shuns all forms of  beauty, both in herself as well as in life. Concerned by her change for  the worst, Sunako's aunt, the owner of a huge mansion where four very  handsome high school students live (for free), demands the boys to  transform her niece into the "perfect lady," and in return they will be  able to continue living there for free. They are given a deadline and if  they are unable to uphold their deal then they would have to either pay  a lump sum of cash or vacate the premises. While the four of them manage to make Sunako physically beautiful  enough to become a lady, the problem lies with her attitude and  interests (which Sunako has no intention of changing). Up until the most  recent release in the story, they manage to convince Sunako's aunt that  her niece is indeed a lady befitting the mansion in which they live  (and prevent the rent from skyrocketing to triple the required amount).  However, in reality Sunako has not changed at all. Sunako has the  tendency to spurt out in a nose bleed when seen by bright creatures,  especially around Kyohei. It is a humorous tale following Sunako and the four boys through  unusual and ridiculous situations where Sunako is confronted with many  unwanted experiences of being a lady, while also channeling the idea of  self and beauty.  

As for my own opinion I love how they manage to made them chibi in the most of the scene which is quite funny. The story is something you didn't expect when it comes to a love story but every now and then you will giggle and you wish for more. I personally like Sunako because her character is weird and for the long run it started to grow in you. Although the other main characters are quite fascinating too in their own way.

 Sunako Nakahara (中原 スナコ Nakahara Sunako

_______________________________________________________________

 The main female protagonist of the series, she has an obsession with  darkness and a morbid fascination with blood, horror movies, and other  similarly dark things. After being rejected by her first love, she  decided to abandon her femininity and become isolated from the world.  She hates excessive light exposure and also does poorly in hot weather,  though the latter is because she grew up in northern Japan. She has  three "friends"; a skeleton called Josephine (with husband, sergeant George) and two anatomical figures  named Hiroshi-kun and Akira-kun. While she suffers from severely low  self-esteem, she is actually quite beautiful (most of her physical  imperfections are a result of her self-imposed isolation from the world)  and is a frighteningly tough fighter, being able to lift someone twice  her size with one hand. She is also surprisingly wise for someone her  age and will give good advice to her friends (even if she doesn't  realize it). She is shown to be quite blunt saying what is on her mind  with no hesitation, unless she is asking the "radiant beings" for a  favor. She is portrayed (mostly) throughout the manga in chibi form as a  sort of visual metaphor for how she and others see herself; only  becoming full sized and in proportion with the others when her mood  becomes bold or confident. She is a very good cook, very athletic,  intelligent, and a good pianist. She refers to beautiful people as  "creatures of light" and "ugly" people, such as herself, as "creatures  of darkness", in the translation in America. Whenever she sees a  "creature of light", she gets nosebleeds,  and they're usually severe when she sees Kyohei (Though recent chapters  have shown her having less nosebleeds in his presence). Despite her  negative attitude, once she is driven to do something, Sunako is quite  capable of doing things that no one expects her to complete. There is  also a possibility that she may have supernatural abilities i.e. plants  wilting near her and windows shattering.

Personality

_______________________________________________________

The character of Sunako is very self-conscious and has a fairly bad self-image of herself. She frequently calls herself ugly and never acknowledges herself as a beautiful person. Most of the time she can be found in dark places or areas that are believed to be haunted.

Appearance

_______________________________________________________

 Most of the time Sunako can be seen in super deformed mode. However,  whenever she is in a situation where her inner beauty comes forth, she  almost magically transforms into a beautiful young woman, much to the  surprise of many onlookers. Sunako's inner beauty frequently emerges  whenever her character's viewpoint is challenged, causing her to change  her belief system about beauty and humanity in general. When Sunako is not in a deformed mode, she has dark long straight black  hair. She is very tall for a average Japanese girl. Sunako looks like a  model when not in chibi form. She is considered to be beautiful but  doesn't consider herself as one due to her low-self esteem. Sunako has  lavender purple eyes with fair skin. She is usually seen wearing a grey  sweater with her weird floral skirt, or her grey sweater with red  jogging pants.
