Strangely enough, I think I'm more partial to Nana because (i) she has actual talents and (ii) she has actual manners.
Twice Atsumu had to produce sound work in the story, once at a fashion show and once in a collab between Hoshizuki Kaguya and Yachiru, and from these two instances she could tell it was Five's work. It's why when Yachiru left the house, Nana knew she knew where Five was and followed suit.
Plus, apparently her ears are really sharp: she could hear Atsumu's sound work from his headphones all the way out from the doorway of his apartment. She's a (excessively) dedicated artisan to her craft, which is a whole lot more than we can say for most of her family.
And after finally getting Atsumu to admit that he's indeed Five, she apologises for everything and pleads not to abandon her. She politely addresses him properly as "nii-san", something even Yachiru only learnt to do after receiving a scolding from his friends.
So now for better or worse, she acts like a clingy girlfriend who finds even the sound of his cooking pleasant. Still selfish, but it's a start, room for improvement clearly.

Skimming this far in, this work gives me the same vibes as at the end of Taisho Otome Otogibanashi: the siblings are split between the hopeful and the hopeless. Here, Atsumu's little sisters are easier to fall into the hopeful category, having had the chance to play big brother and all.
And hey, defections are merely further losses to the utterly hopelessly incompetent and spoiled mother.
Also, by the end of Part 1 one thing is clear: in Atsumu's pursuit of his oh-so "ordinary youth" with his newfound rising celebrityharem friends, it will put him in competition, in warpath with several of his sisters, and by extension his mother's agency.
Obviously he won't deliberately wish it, but his actions will reverberate in their downfall. My heart won't break for the unrepentant members, but I do hope Atsumu won't take it too hard when it happens.
So for me, the greatest tension now is, beyond individual basis, when will word be shared and circulated to everyone that he is in conflict with them? That's when the sparks really fly...

Worth noting that just because they have actual capacity to love the MC doesn't mean they're "good". Clear as day from the script that they're still flawed products from the house and need to be detoxed, albeit they have greater chances to undergo and consent to detoxing in a new environment.
This also lets the MC flex his big brother muscles too.
And hey, defections are merely further losses to the utterly hopelessly incompetent and spoiled mother. It's another win.
