Japanese company Taito announced a new collaboration with the anime adaptation of the romantic comedy manga Go-Toubun no Hanayome (The Quintessential Quintuplets). For this occasion, the central protagonist of the collaboration will be Miku Nakano, one of the otaku community’s favorite quintuplets.
According to the information presented in the X/Twitter account of Taito Toys, this collaboration will consist of the upcoming release of a prize figure that will be inspired by Miku, the third Nakano sister who has conquered the hearts of many fans of the Go-Toubun no Hanayome franchise for her shy personality and beautiful design. The first screenshots of this product have been shared to the public.
Wearing a dazzling dress that combines elegance and a touch of tenderness, Miku Nakano returns to captivate her fans once again. Her outfit, inspired by a charming bunny, includes details characteristic of this animal such as delicate pointed ears and, possibly, a tail pompom, further enhancing its characteristic charm, making it a must-have version for any fan of this waifu.
One of the highlights of this figure is undoubtedly Miku’s expression. As can be seen in the first image of the product, the adorable quintuplet wears a tender pout, an endearing gesture that fans of Go-Toubun no Hanayome will recognize instantly, as it was one of the scenes where Miku makes her first pout was one of the most highlighted by fans, as it gives her a more adorable touch, something that has delighted the otaku community.
Another detail to highlight is that the Miku Nakano prize figure belongs to the Taito brand known as Desktop Cute, a line that stands out for offering desktop figures with an incredible touch to increase the charm of the waifu chosen for the occasion.

One day, during lunchtime, Uesugi argues with a student who has claimed “her place,” which causes the two of them to dislike each other. That same day, he is presented with a golden opportunity to pay off his family’s debt: tutoring the daughter of a wealthy family, with a salary five times higher than the market rate. He accepts the proposal, but is horrified to discover that the client, Itsuki Nakano, is the girl he confronted before.
After unsuccessfully trying to get Itsuki to like him again, Uesugi discovers that his problems don’t end there: Itsuki is actually a quintuplet, so in addition to teaching her, he must tutor her sisters – Miku, Yotsuba, Nino and Ichika – who, despite the very real threat of failing, want nothing to do with a tutor. However, their family’s livelihood is at stake, so Uesugi presses on, steadfast in his resolve to rid the sisters of their aversion to studying and successfully lead them to graduation.
