If Mashiro is the one that pushes him forward, then Nanami is the one who keeps things grounded and familiar for Sorata and is his 'break' away from all the crazy antics that keeps thrown his way. In a place were everyone follows their own set of laws, she's the one person that has any commonly accepted sense Even the other guys of Sakurasou doesn't cut him any slack and never fails to tease and messed with him This is made very obvious when you listen to the audio drama where Sorata fell sick- Nanami was the only one that didn't immediately made fun of him.

However, Nanami does have a bad side which we've all seen and that she can get pretty naggy and confrontational at times- The Anime did a great job mitigating it after the first few episodes involving her. Hopefully they can do that for the up coming story arc.

I think one of the major factors that makes both Mashiro and Nanami so likeable is that unlike other romantic interest, both of them actually care about the Protagonist as more than just a love partner- Sure there's still that, but they do it mostly because they want what's best for him, and not so that he would show affections to them. What's more, their entire lives does not rotate around just Sorata- they each have their own dreams to work towards.
