Okay, so if Yotsuba was really the childhood crush back then, who the hell is/was Rena girl, I think that’s the name. Why did Yotsuba lie about her name? Was the boat scene Yotsuba in disguise? In which case she shouldn’t have feelings for Uesugi, as she said good bye to him. Or was this a move to simply to avoid sister division?


I have no idea? One of the footage in episode 10, Ichika saw a photo of Yotsuba and Fuutarou when it fell on the box that Itsuki was holding. Previously, the photo belonged to Fuutarou, but it was taken by "Rena", and in the box that Itsuki was holding, also contained "Rena" clothes. In other words, the "Rena" that Fuutarou encountered was Itsuki. However, Itsuki had already explained that the girl Fuutarou met 5 years ago was Yotsuba. The current Rena, with the girl Fuutarou met 5 years ago is a different person. In episode 2/3, Fuutarou said that Fuutarou didn't know the name of the girl he met 5 years ago. That means, Yotsuba had not told Fuutarou her name during the study tour. That didn't mean the Yotsuba were lying, it was because they were different people. Then, based on this episode, it can be concluded that Yotsuba and Itsuki both knew about the study tour incident 5 years ago. However, Nino doesn't know it at all (From the scene in Season 1), which reveals that Nino didn't meet Fuutarou 5 years ago. The reason why Itsuki used the name Rena? I don't know, in the scene a few episodes before, that Itsuki was devastated by the departure of her mother. Also, it was shown that one of Itsuki's strong motivations for becoming a teacher was her mother. Itsuki is the person who has the strongest bond with her mother, so maybe that is the reason why she uses the name Rena. Btw, Rena's name was revealed when the Scrambled Eggs episode ended. The reason why Itsuki disguised herself as Rena? I don't know, let's see the next episode.

Then, I guess the current "Rena" isn't Yotsuba. When Fuutarou was wet from falling in the lake, at that time he met the Yotsuba, there was no way she could change clothes quickly. Then, we all also know the Yotsuba have bad acting skills.
Ever since the boat incident, it been gnawing at the back if my mind it might have been a hallucination.

There's no way they can wrap this story up in one episode, but to make a whole season 3 might be a bit too much. Let's hope they do a michi random like +/- 4 episodes OVA

Yeah it's true they cut a bunch of stuff, but I still thought it was enjoyable. Didn't expect the reveal that fast though. Really wonder if they gonna wrap it up next episode or leave it be some cliffhanger, though I doubt the latter.

So either S3, or movie?

Miku got support from Yotsuba. Not only that Miku also get cheer up by her rival/sister, Nino, who care about her sister as she did before.
Ichika disappointed all her sisters right now. (Her disguise scene doesn't count as a confession)
Miku worry mostly about herself and couldn't be straight forward with her feelings. Still 0 confession made and can't think of any thing else.

I give this episode to Nino for being able to quickly assess the situation and prioritize her sister over her romance. (FYI, Nino's confession count: 3)

As for Yotsuba being the childhood friend, we don't know if she still had feeling for him or not since all she care about is her sister than herself. Same with Itsuki who is rooting for Yotsuba. Both of them are still in the race?

So it was Yotsuba that met Fuutarou along time ago in Tokyo, I wasn’t expecting that to be honest. I feel bad for Miku in this episode, especially at the near end when she was crying. Overall this episode was actually really great. I hope that they’ll make a season 3, if not I’ll just enjoy the last episode next week.

So Yotsuba's the girl from Futaro's past huh? I was wondering why Itsuki was acting strange but I didn't expect it to be down to concern for Yotsuba keeping quiet about being the girl from 6 years ago.

I don't like the way the sisters' bond is just falling apart over a boy... they're not just family, they're best friends, and yet they're fighting like this over Futaro. I was glad when Nino called out Ichika because as she said; Futaro is important to them but their sisterly bond is important too.

Too much crammed into one episode again, unfortunately. The emotional impact of a lot of these revelations and moments, particularly the confrontation at the summit, was entirely diminished because the show just wanted to fly to the next scene as quickly as possible.

There's so much I want to say but the main thing is that I'm so glad that Futarou saw through Ichika's act when pretending to be Miku. Miku doesn't deserve that disrespect and it's interesting to know that Futarou actually knew that Miku liked him. She did make it pretty obvious, but I'm glad he's not that dense. I'm also so glad that Yotsuba just straight up knew exactly what Ichika was planning when she saw Ichika dressed up as Miku and said exactly what needed to be said. Thank you so much, Yotsuba, for addressing Ichika's shit. Honestly, this and the last episode has made me ok if Yotsuba ends up as the winner. Before, it was just Nino and Miku, but Yotsuba also deserves her spot in the light.

Nino is still best girl though. She's clear about what she wants and will do what she feels is necessary to make Futarou pick her, but she doesn't put down her other sisters. She encourages them to fight for him with her in a fair manner, and she will be happy for whoever wins. That is best girl material right there, ladies and gentlemen.

You would be correct sir. Because they cut some events and also sped up some events. The reveal at the end didn't happen at that moment in the manga, but a few chapters later.

Also due to being quintuplets, they are all somehow able to disguise themselves as any one of them? The first thing that came to mind was these 5 sisters sharing this guy fooling him with disguise. Too bad they already ruled it out by making him realize who is who even with disguise on. Would have made for a pretty funny spinoff.


Guess you could call it character development, finally. Mc-kun really isn't so dense after all and can finally pick up their unique quirks that should've made it really easy to differentiate them in the first place!

He can already tell who yotsuba is since she has no acting skills whatsoever, and miku and nino are like the quietest and loudest respectively so they should be easy to tell who's who. Itsuki is kind of in the middle, I'd like to say a blend of all 4, which is why I want HER to win. And while ichika is the one with the talent of acting, mc-kun revealed that her acting is not good enough after all.

Yeah maybe I would've liked them to remain on the disguise aspect a little longer. It was kind of fun. But we have to move on

Lol, I'm just saying that the whole 5-toubun no Hanayome story is a flashback. In season 1 episode 1 it is shown that Fuutarou is married, so actually from the start even though there is no way 5-toubun has an Original Ending.


Yeah of course he's going to get married, no one's going to change that. The question is WHO did he marry, duh


I mean, if the whole story is a flashback, then Fuutarou's love story with someone he marries has also started since the flashback. Of course the person he marries will be the same for all the events that have happened so far. So, for those who hope for ORIGINAL ENDING, it is very unlikely. What's more, for the harem ending and the different routes, Fuutarou and the bride 'love story starts from a very long time.

What an episode! So glad that Ichika finally got caught, it was such a great moment when she meets Yotsuba and Miku, GG girl.

Nino continues to completely dominate when it comes to fair game, on the other hand, i guess it's time for Miku to finally step in.
But idk why Itsuki would do that, it seems like she has some feelings for him now too lmao

And the whole bus scene with Yotsuba was so good, at least he's getting it slowly, but he's on the right path.

As a Nino and Ichika fan, I was really annoyed at the way Negi used Ichika as a stepping stone to make Yotsuba look like a Mary Sue level selfless angel, make Nino have an unnecessary holier than thou act, and victimize Miku to make people sympathize with her even more as if she needed anymore of that, while also making Ichika make a stupid high-risk low-return move that only resulted in exposing her and making her public enemy #1, again, as if she wasn't already. Now I remember why I was once rooting for Ichika over Nino while reading the manga.. God damn it Negi!!!

Anyway, my ranking is still:

1. Nino
2. Ichika
3. Miku
4. Itsuki/Yotsuba

If you pay attention to ichika's development you'll see it's not that absurd for her to walk that path. I noticed the clues when I re-watched season 1 while paying close attention to all of the sisters.

Great episode! I know the anime is moving and cutting some stuff and the manga is definitely better, but I am still really enjoying the anime, they're making it work which is commendable. Hopefully there's a season 3 and they're not just promoting the game lmao.

Love Nino always but Yotsuba is definitely my 2nd favorite, Yotsuba pulling a whistle out of nowhere was hilarious lmao. Itsuki was also adorable this episode being all flustered and bold. Fuutarou the chad, Fuutarou is definitely one of my favorite romcom protagonists, never seen anyone say something bad about him which is great. Really looking forward to the last episode of the season.

I can feel the change in Ichika's character. Nino's development and Ichika's are basically the same, just in reverse. And it's not like Ichika is being an asshole every time she's on screen (unlike a certain someone who really loves her sisters but can't be honest about it).

Yes. Even it takes place after the current arc of the anime, has the ∬ sign as well in the title. Supposedly with 14 possible endings.

Therefore, unless there is an unforseen surprise in the last episode, I'm 100% sure it will have an open ending. Unconfirmed, no source leak claims there will be a wedding scene last episode with no spoken bride lines or name reveal.

At least Ichika's cover was finally blown. Her maskirovka is no longer a viable strategy, not to the extent it was before. Good for Miku.

I'm so glad all this is ending next week because I honestly don't know how much of Ichika's bullshit I would have been able to stand if this season were longer. Seriously, author... what a way to destroy a somewhat decent character. Not to mention incredible how the sister who drugged MC twice had to be the one to call her out for her questionable behaviour.

And wtf with that Miku x Nino bed scene? Like hot damn, director! I mean, good to know I wasn't the only one who fantasized with similar scenarios at some point.

Now on a good note, thank god Fuutarou isn't a dense idiot because seriously, Miku's signals could be seen from fucking mars! Now let's hope these two get their shit together and have a proper talk.

So Yotsuba is the girl MC met when they were kids, huh? Impressive. Yotsuba's chances of becoming the bride went from 0% to 70-80% with one single plot revelation.

The sisters are now locked in for a messy war for Futaro, and sadly Miku has taken in the brunt of Ichika and Nino's offensive. Ngl if I am on the Miku camp right now, I would gladly despise Ichika but not today. Because for some reason, I am now on the Yotsuba camp, and she is really trying to stick the quintuplets altogether in this school trip. Meanwhile some random stalker is disturbing the girls by taking photos, that's kind of random but oh well. Also Yotsuba is the girl that Futaro met before, ARE MY PREDICTIONS ACTUALLY VORRECT ALL THIS TIME?!

I don't know about you guys but if there's going to be a 3rd season I'm probably not going to be hyped about it. The sweet novelty has been waning and it's slowly leaving a sour taste in my mouth.

- Watching the sisters one up each other just to earn grade school level quality time with Futaro for only a couple of hours makes my head spin with utter disbelief. I'd probably be more understanding if the girls weren't related and the "rivalry" atmosphere wouldn't be as ridiculous the way they presented it.

- Futaro annoys me for being the generic dense love interest whose more inclined to maintain the status quo of Equally loving his collection regardless.

- If future episodes or chapters would be a copy and paste of the sisters doing shenanigans on each other with very little substance as a reward while absolutely gaining little ground then what's the point of all of this? It's like watching a race with no absolute finish line. Just a carrot(wedding scene) dangled in front us.

- The premise was really interesting and entertaining from the start, now it's just a roller derby of random cheap tricks to induce both satisfaction and frustration.
