shanimebib said: THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- Happy ending? Jackshit. How do fans even continued reading this without feeling disgusted. I am a Miku fan but I am infuriated by the treatment of not only her but Nino as well. Down to the last chapter. And Itsuki's part. She betrayed herself and betrayed others to favour Yotsuba. I don't even want to talk about that. And the early killing Ichika's character. Anyways, it is finally over. 5/10 Same here, the story went jackshit and somehow dragged overtime with the same formula while the first girls such as Miku,Ichika doesn't get jack shit following Ichika and Nino after 80 onwards. 5/10, good start, but shit on halfway through |
| What's up with the hate? Grow up and stop whining like a kid. It's just a manga. Saying it's worst ending of the decade, that just exaggeration. Why not just chill? You already should be glad it ended after months of waiting to read it and trying to find out who he will end up with. Remember the good time where people switch to to another heroine ship. Those were fun time. The fact that you're here just mean you didn't drop it like you supposed to if it's no longer appeal to you. Why did you read it in the first place? Anyway, a low score on the chapter would make sense but I wouldn't give a 1/10 for the entire series. If I do, that would mean I'm stupid no brainer who doesn't know how rating work and my two options is only 10/10 or 1/10. Ch122 was okay, ending feel like average 4/10 Overall Manga is between a 6 or 7 for me. Had a time reading it. I ain't denying the first half of this series |

I was like that through most of this. The author developed all the girls really nicely so for a long time I didnt mind who he ended up with since they're all likeable. Ichika stumbled a bit towards the end but overall they're all great girls. |

Only last arc is little boring but the ending is classic normal end. He choose one girl and married. Im Nino team but i think Yotsuba deserve win the battle. Don't try to understand them. Basically agree with you, was a nice series overall, it just got boring for me during the last couple of months. |

| I will never understand why this even become this popular. It wasn't even funny for rom-com. |
 |
| Harems always make people salty and this is rare since Fuutarou didnt show any love or interest in any Quint except Yotsuba. The "romance" was always from the sisters POV |

Also this was Negi trying to calm other quints fan. even if your theory true, it still left bad taste. Well you may got argument such as "Maybe for yourself and some people". Tbh I mostly enjoyed the first half where we got lots of character development and what makes the Quintuplets unique based on their preferences. That felt like a good shit back then when it was not that mainstream yet. Half way through we were rained with drama over girls thirsting over Fuutarou dick and their development towards the "Girl that has relation" with him in past, but it was done badly making the whole 4 volume felt like a drag trying to figure who's the girl that Fuutarou met in past and trying to differentiate the Quintuplets after getting done with their test. The ending felt like author chickening out between picking the girls or just slapping a harem ending. Considering both may still end up a hot garbage Author picked an open ending where things get really confusing instead just being straight with some typical harem open ending are or just pick a girl and start watching people burning books. As for me Rosario Vampire still hold the best Harem for me with a Chad MC and likeable girls.

| The whole point of a romance story is building up to the big romantic moment,and if that moment isn't built up properly or contrived and unsatisfying, then I'd say the series failed miserably.The quality drops in the later chapters made this series from decent to average. A probable 8/10 series now barely qualifies as 6.5/10 in my list. It's such a pity. |

"If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| This ending is god awful that it makes me wonder what happened to Negi all this time. The story peaked in the middle and went straight to the trash can in the last few arcs. I really missed the time when I started reading this manga, I thought this might be the best harem ever. I missed when the manga had good writing, drama and character developments. On to the second season in Fall, I really hope the new studio adapts it well. It's the best part and I want to experience that moment once again so please, please don't mess it up. I genuinely wanted this manga to be one of my favorites, that's why I'm extra disappointed that it had to end up this way. In the end, another wasted potential, 5/10. |
 |
| I feel that the author never wanted to leave the status quo, surely Yotsuba is the bride, but it doesn't seem important, it seems that Fuutarou will continue with his harem until the end of his days, since the girls did not move on even after five years. It's quite disappointing, at least I expected some romance or that the final couple did not feel so forced, but nothing, in the end Fuutarou remained as a boring self insert character who we knew nothing about and the girls never left their archetype and their unjustified love for the protagonist. I guess I expected more than I should from a harem rom-com xD 4/10 I think the mystery of the bride was interesting, but once it was revealed you realize that the story had nothing more to offer. |

| haha author choose safest way to deal with the other girl fandom, this man is a harem king |

| Goddamn, the salt in this thread is actually unbearable. Sure, the last volume or so has been lackluster, but the way people are reacting in this thread is so unnecessary. All Negi did was choose a girl and people act like as if he murdered their waifu or something. That being said though, it is reasonable to be disappointed with the way the conclusion was handled. After the confession, the execution felt all over the place and some unnecessary drama was added. Some characters also felt out-of-character at times too. And despite spending a good amount of time with each character during the festival, it still feels like no one got the closure that they needed, not even Yotsuba. But I will say this, I did enjoy the last two chapters. They were fun and and had the usual Gotoubun charm. But that honeymoon thing is weird and it just makes the rest of the girls seem like they're lacking independence or something. And it's obvious that it's not a dream at all, just some kind of parallel to show that not much has changed with the quintuplets during the last 5 years or so. Of course, the delusional ones and the people who can't accept the outcome can hold onto their "open-ending" interpretation. As much as they're reason to be disappointing with this series, they way people are expressing their opinions, arguing and attacking those that ended up liking the series, it just comes off as salty tbh. Maybe because I wasn't really rooting for anyone that I'm not feeling the saltiness, but idk, people are free to like and dislike whatever they want, no need to look down on them for doing so. I guess this series is a 6/10 for me. It would've been a 7 if the last volume felt more focused. Both this and BokuBen are the only harem manga that I collect volumes of, but I kinda regret owning both of them. Gotoubun went downhill near the end, and BokuBen just felt consistently boring and repetitive. It's finally going somewhere now, but it felt like 80% of the series was just one-shot chapters of characters going through fan-service shenanigans. Hopefully it gives all of the characters a better closure than whatever the hell Gotoubun did, but if the recent chapter is anything to go by, it seems like most of the characters won't even get a proper confession, let alone closure, lol. Anyways, with the start of Kakkou no Iinazuke, it seems like Shounen Magazine's got a good replacement for Gotoubun. |

| Congrats to Yotsuba and Fuutarou at their wedding. Those sisters will go along with their honeymoon. That was funny. Why does the author have to make Nino cry again? Fuck you!. |

Animation quality my friend? The anime will be made by the king of trash studio Bibury. They have only made Azur Lane anime and it was so bad they had to postpone last 3 episodes by 4 months. They couldn't even draw the faces properly. Sucks how production committee could not even give a proper deserving studio despite the money manga and S1 made.[/quote] Oh yeah, how bad did Azur Lane get? I didn't bother watching it but was intrigued at first since it had cute anime girls lol. But I'm thinking that the last studio decided not to adapt the second season was because they saw how bad the writing was getting towards the end or they just didn't have the necessary time for production. I honestly don't care about season 2 really anymore, because after this trash writing mess there's no real point anymore. And if what you said about the new studio is true in how they handled that one, I worry for the second season |
 |
| I still don't mind Yotsuba ending but I wish they would have told us why she kissed him at the bell at the very least. Also a little more closure for the rest of the girls would have been nice. The whole manga was getting worse and worse for a while anyways. |
| :) |
WhyCare said: The manga still didn't manage to round up the reason why Yotsuba kissed Fuutaro back at the bell. It is such an out of character move by Yotsuba at that time. Feel like Negi lets Yotsuba win just because he wants the "subvert expectation" trope and never properly explain why Yotsuba won. what a shit show Remember the last time someone tried subverting expectations in a popular franchise? The Last Jedi is a good example of how not to do it and Negi basically pulled a Rian Johnson with the ending of the manga |

 |
| So we don't even know what yotsuba did after school? Whack... I still don't even know what itsuki's purpose in this whole thing was. She seemed to have spent the most time with fuutarou and his family. |
| What's with all the hate? I feel the hardcore fans of the other sisters that didnt get chosen are all throwing fits. LOL. Sure, Yotsuba wasn't my number one from the beginning; it was miku or ichika; but Yotsuba also makes a good bride and match for Fuu-kun... being she's the first to meet him. This honestly was one of my favorite harem manga, because all of the sisters were likeable. You can't go wrong with any of them. Plus, the mystery of who he chooses in the future, reminds me of "How I Met You're Mother" even if the ending to that show wasn't great. This was enjoyable, IMO. |

| Well, what can u expect from yotsuba fans I wonder what their reaction would have been if any other girl won and on the other hand same can be said about uruka fans they are beyond annoying. |

 |
| Aww, that's good ending... Now, make the VN games, I need to see others endings cause this feels like I got a GAME OVER feeling.  |
| I agree with the OP here.... the early killing of Ichika breaks my heart. Not the ending that i expected. Also, Miku and Nino.... eugh... Fuutarou could have said something more proper. He's too trashy now... his character is ruined. It shouldn't have ended here. This could have been better if there were more chapters. But the author rushed the conclusion of Yotsuba Win. I'm disappointed :( 6/10 |

The Last Jedi is a good example of how not to do it and Negi basically pulled a Rian Johnson with the ending of the manga I agree. Didn't like the ending. Anyways here's my two takes 1. Yotsuba has a lot less romantic development than the other characters and it kinda pisses me off that she gets to be chosen inspite of 0 romantic development. There is no tease and she seems to rely upon the memory of childhood. Negi stated that even though Itsuki was first girl fuutarou met, she won't use first girl wins necessarily. Now that she does use Yotsuba as ending with the sole reason of first girl wins (like, because foreshadowing of flashbacks, Yotsuba has to win. ) It renders all the romantic development that MC had with other girls for naught. I would have taken Yotsuba as ending to be acceptable only if she had a good chemistry with MC. 2. Also that bell kiss seems like a dick move by Yotsuba. Makes me hate her even more. It reminds me of how Yotsuba unfairly used her headstart that no one else had. She is no better than Ichika in that regard. "I don't have any normal way to get along with MC, so I will use a forced kiss to claim him for me" . Goddamnit this reminds me of Rose from TLJ AGAIN. Anyways, this shows me that even this harem manga cannot avoid the pitfalls of peaceful resolution of ending. 1/10. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
MegamiRem said: Congratz Yots and Fuu on their wedding. Hopefully their honeymoon will go well XD. Also why the fuck people are thinking the wedding is a dream lol it's the other way around. Fuutarou was just remembering the past. Because Negi the author said in an interview that he wanted to write an ending that would "make everyone happy" so the mangaka is leaving an open ending. For me, it is a clear sign that he was manipulated. |
| wait wut.. I don't understand so the whole thing including when Uesugi proposed Yotsuba is all just a dream? or he woke up after that event? please I need an answer damn.. after all these development within each quint and especially Uesugi.. this is the ending we got? fr Negi!1!1 btw this is the first ever manga I read (well no one cares) and to think it ends like that, make me think twice to read another, especially harem( its harem genre r8? I dunno) manga. *sigh what a journey. |
  |
| Extremely overrated 1/10 But I'm almost tempted to give it a two just coz Negi hates first girl fugz Inb4 you're salty, completely fine with Yots, she's my third fav of the quints and despite my wrong prediction (Ichika) I've rooted for Yots since op Ichika got nerfed hard The series last good arc was 7GB, went downhill fast in SW arc |
 |
| It's sad how this manga dropped in quality. I don't think is as bad as ppl think it is but still it ain't a good look when there are doujins that are way more satisfying than this finale. 6/10 for the manga.

KingLeonard23 said: Have you seen the amount of 1/5's on the last Bokuben chapter lol. At least 5-toubun is not generic man that just shitty shippers. everyone with decent common sense know it's coming. also 5 toubun is generic as well. if anything, the mysteriousness one true ending fate encounter with dramafest searching for "fate encounter" is like the first popular harem trope like love hina and ichigo 100% heck, even as recent as nisekoi. if anything bokuben in other hand has more than enough character episodic slice of life moment closer to SOL genre than romance harem it self. while it's not completely original either (like aa megami sama), it's something that way less popular and generic than said toubun style storytelling. people love character fighting after all, even in romance. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
