Why Nanato Mukaido of Platinum End Is the Superior Anime Dad

To start with, let’s jump into who Nanato Mukaido is. Before the start of the series, he worked at a clothing company, planning new products and even designing them. It’s not often you see a strong male character with traditionally “feminine” duties, like clothing design, so we thought it was a fun addition to his character. He has a wife who adores him, a daughter named Nanaka, and another child on the way. All of this is almost ended by his surprise terminal cancer diagnosis, but when the angel Baret shows up to offer him a new hope to live, he takes it for their sake.
