God this series is actually growing on me, i like it lots.
Overall i thought this episode was just gonna be full of weird ecchi stuff, but i was partially mistaken. Futarou might actually get suplexed by the sister's dad which isn't good, and his idea of letting Itsuki wander off in hopes that she'll panic and come back for help is a really big gamble won't lie.
This episode was also littered with lots of cute Miku moments which was pretty fucking nice and more or less is heavily hinting/building on their relationship. I think at this point i do condone the Miku ship, but still stand Yotsuba. She looked hella cute in bear wanzi.
Ichika's really good at changing subjects and reading people in terms of emotions. Probably the most mature out of the sisters and yeh i guess could be seen as the oldest even if it's probably by a few seconds.
Nino is...fucking scary.
that end scene, fair fucking play Futarou you lucky bastard.

I knew immediately that it wouldn't be Itsuki listening to him before the bathroom. I have to admit that he's doing a really poor job handling Itsuki and Nino, even though both of them are pretty stubborn. But his personality is certainly not helping. Poor Miku though, realizing she's the opposite of his sister lol. Ichika got a lot of bonus points this episode, but Miku's still #1 imo.

It was so sad seeing Itsuki cry, but I didn't really understand what she was crying about. Her fear for the upcoming mid-terms? Or her fight with Futarou?

Midterms are coming up and Fuutarou has to work harder this time and not mess around more so when that phone call from Nakano-san himself

Well he's in a tight spot but at least it's a 3/5 for him only two needs to be in his favor left to keep this up, I swear Nino is a menace for Fuutarou every time she tries to sabotage

Well aren't the gullible just by knowing his types they became so "easy" to manipulate, Ichika is developing little by little feelings for Uesugi-san at least she's a tad bit honest about that, Poor Miku this episode as the odds were not in her favor but hey she got to sleep with Fuutarou tonight so that's a win in my book.

Look at how Ichika finally decided to join Fuutarou study group with her two other sisters. She looked like a wingwoman to her younger twin sister, in those case Miku. But, she also had that urge to be alone and talked nicely with Fuutarou. That's cute. Oneesan type always feels different for me. But Miku surely stole all my mind this episode, especially in the end. Dammit, Fuutarou! Lets see how well you conquered thats two last tough girl. Though, seeing Nino interested with Fuutarou type of girl, wth are you thinking? Oped already grow on my mind. Dammit, gotoubun!

Episodes 4 to 6 have less sexualization and I liked it. Things're getting interesting. The development of the characters and their relationships towards the MC Futaro is vwry appealing. That grill listening to his type of grill is totally a butthurt annoying brat. But she's making this journey enjoyful as she is the rock Futaro has to lift with much effort. However, I felt Miku was getting less important, less story weight, but I think it's maybe just an impression of mine. The end got her in the news again. Glad.

Props to her for asking that kind of question out of nowhere. We need this in our lifes, guys. Try that a little in your lives. Do something revealing you wouldn't do in front of your "crush". Don't be Kaguya.

On Quintessential Quintuplets, S1E6 !!!!!!SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!!
___________________________________________________
Current Ranking:

1.Miku
I think for me, the thing that has allowed Miku to remain number one is her relationship with Uesugi.
Since episode two, she has appeared to be the most romantically attracted to him and the way it manifests is heartwarming. She’s been the most empathetic through the helpful bites of information about her family and extremely grateful for the compliments and assistance Uesugi has been providing for them. In fact in this episode, to the shock of Uesugi, she even voluntarily decided to study English, her weakest subject, even when she wasn’t being noticed. She’s seemingly also the only one who reads Uesugi in his desperate pleas to get them to study after he’s threatened with job-loss, questioning the reason behind it. She even goes as far as to suggest the reason is because they’re far behind, a potential sign of humility, a virtuous trait that quintuplets like Nino and Itsuka seem to lack. Of course, it’s perhaps more of a sign of her insecurity, however, even then it’s beneficial for her character as I’ve stated time and time again, it’s relatable.
In fact, relatability is another aspect of Miku that I find attractive. She’s a quiet, docile introvert who isn’t as filled with energy or hostile as the rest of the group, yet still knows how to stand up for herself when conflict arises, as comedically shown when arguing over who has the best cooking in episode three.
Also, just in general, watching her aversion to implied affinity play out, with her non-confrontational attitude was simply adorable.

2.Ichika
Ever since her character was introduced in more detail, in episode five, I’ve found myself seeing what was once thought as trash as more treasurable. I especially appreciate how much more open and expressive she was to Uesugi following his assistance with her acting incident, definitely showing a sense of gratefulness, like Miku, that the others seem to lack. Her playful attitude shines more too in this episode, making her a more humorous and lively character than initially anticipated. She’s definitely an optimistic and light-hearted type, but unlike Yotsuba, she still keeps a cool and calm attitude and maturity, making the trait more of a positive than a bothersome liability. She’s also been super resourceful, trying to close the gap between Miku and Uesugi, as well as hinting Uesugi to specific things to help him deal with the rest of the quintuplets. She even goes as far as to study, in spite of her philosophy, and have a personal one-on-one with Uesugi, sharing her wisdom about their relationship which I really appreciated. I can see how in real life, Ichika’s efforts regarding Miku could be seen as annoyingly pushy, but to me, it was reminiscent of a typical high school friend group. Thus, I think that I would be able to be lenient toward her actions being exaggerated to fit the humor of the anime medium. Overall she gives a cool, independent, mature vibe. Someone who knows who she wants to be in life. Most shockingly, considering all of this, if she continues at this rate, I may consider her the best waifu, beating even Miku and Nino.

3.Nino
I don’t really think her character involvement has been particularly informative in this episode. Her hostility ensures that she’s nothing but an obstacle for Uesugi to overcome, which he thankfully does with the help of Ichika. I’m still waiting for her character to be developed more so that we can consider her more as a romantic partner. Hopefully we see a much softer side of which a stronger relationship between Uesugi and her and bud. Otherwise she remains as a troublemaker, and if left unresolved will drop in the rankings.

4.Itsuki
This episode has given rise to a theory of mine of a more psychologically complex Itsuki, much like I have a theory of a more psychologically complex Nino. From the perspective of Uesugi, I believe as an audience, we are encouraged to see her resistant attitude to being tutoring as annoying and burdensome, and during their altercation I felt those very things, empathizing with Uesugi. While there is truth to that, I also empathized with how she might have perceived Uesugi’s criticisms as an attack on her strong-faced attitude, potentially seeing him as a threat to her desire for independence. This is especially suggested with her competitive passive-aggressiveness to his study program and the shots of her crying while studying that really capture how hard she’s taking the struggle of studying in spite of the fact that initially she didn’t really seem to care about studying that much. If the theory is correct, then it provides her the weakness of insecurity, reminiscent of our own struggles with living up to high expectations, whether that be of others or our own. It encourages us to understand Itsuki more as a character, but as we do not really get to see things from her perspective, we are more prone to sympathizing than empathizing with her; it does not improve her romantic attractiveness.

5.Yotsuba
It feels like she’s just there and the only one who isn’t really important right now. She feels just like a supportive friend at best and at worst like a dog, just going along with everyone else rather than doing anything special herself. Again, her childishness creates a significant lack of attractiveness for me too, making her the biggest disappointment of all the quintuplets.

Extra Notes:
This time things felt more engaging and funny which I really enjoyed. I think the writing is starting to pick up which I’m looking forward to seeing more of.  I am especially looking forward to what happens after Miku wakes up.

Miku, darling... Why did you do it? You seriously didn't notice? Nice episode overall even if the carnival arc was stronger, Futaro already risks to be dropped (with a threatening phone call from someone that I'm already asking if we will ever see his face ), unlike this show that becomes more and more engaging.

LMAO Miku ended up sleeping with Fuutaro cause since she's sleepy and all she mistook her shared room with Ichika with her own room or she just felt like sleeping in her own room cause she just feels like to or too sleepy to get to Ichika's one without remembering the whole thing with Fuutaro's one night stay in Miku's room XD

Fūtarō had to stay the night with them so they can study for the midterms.

Ichika is for the Miku-Fūtarō pairing. Yay!

Both of them ended in bed together. It will be a funny misunderstanding the next episode.

Futaro trying his best to get Nino and Itsuki to study and be part of the group, but Itsuki is still somewhat cold toward him while Nino is just a straight up jerk. Futaro really should have worded things differently with Nino, pretty awkward in front of her other 2 friends potentially giving the wrong idea, that slap hurt. Itsuki chases after Futaro telling him he should have went with the other girls after school and hands him her phone with her father on the line. His father wants to see their scores and if one of the girls fails the upcoming midterm exams, Futaro will be forced to resigned (technically fired), which gets Futaro all anxious. Itsuki and Futaro get into an argument, with Futaro being too emotional, and Itsuki not wanting Futaro to teach her, with Futaro responding that he won't teach her anyway.

Futaro landing on "you're fired" in the game of life was pretty funny, but it goes to show that his tutoring job is on the line and he can't afford any of the girls to fail. Unfortunately, Nino got him to confess why he was so anxious and worried by pretending to be Itsuki. Futaro tries to apologize to Itsuki and explains that he will lose his tutoring job if one of the girls fail, only to be shocked that it was Nino standing outside the shower door. This is going to be very difficult since Nino could just intentionally get a failing grade and screw him over.

Ichika shoving Miku to rest on his chest was pretty funny, along with putting his hand over Miku's head to simulate a headpat, saying he should praise people when they do well. Yotsuba chasing him to try and check his heart rate was funny too. Ichika reveals to Futaro that Itsuki is awkward and has a hard time being upfront. Seeing Itsuki tearing up and having trouble was sad, poor Itsuki. I hope Futaro and Itsuki sort things out and starting establishing a good bond. Miku accidentally going back into her own room even though Futaro was sleeping there lol, Futaro just wants to catch a break, but it might spiral into another awkward situation with Itsuki and Nino yelling at him.
