poggers, Nino short hair in the OP and ED

and holy shit, the quints so damn nice in furisode, a true eye candy.



also, seems like the quints are really grateful to Fuu for what he has done for them. Even Raiha is surprised to see her big brother popular with girls, her reaction was pretty funny

Yotsuba's eating that bit of cream off his cheek was pretty hot actually ngl

Ichika is sleep deprived as expected since she's working hard at both school and at her job as an actress. If Nino were to work as a dominatrix, I'd definitely make sure to be her first customer.

Jokes aside, I really love how girly and cute her dream of opening a restaurant is, she also seems to have found her prince charming and he isn't how she imagined him to be, she's still denying her feelings.

even their father knows how dumb Yotsuba is, it's funny, no offense Yotsu fans

They will be taking their exams next episode, everyone's most awaited scene is near, let's fucking gooo.

If there's one thing about Dr. Nakano himself I can bitch about, is that he's a bad parental figure to the quintuplets, and no one is more apparent about the situation than Fuutarou himself.

Starting the new year with terrible luck, it sure ain't terrible with the Nakano sisters now living together in a rented apartment. Raiha sure got the wrong notion for the moment, and even more with the harem being forced at Fuutarou's way.

Everyone (other than Yotsuba) thinking about kissing him on the cheek, a gesture is a gesture, but the latter sure made her move inconspicuously (manga readers will know what's going on).

Rather than letting Ichika be the sole breadwinner, the other Nakano sisters taking up employment to balance the weight is a good sign of familial reasons. But man, meeting Ichika while at work, at least Fuutarou has changed somewhat to let them manage their own lives without pushing themselves across the edge. Same with Nino and Yotsuba doing shopping.

The meeting between Itsuki and their dad, it's clear that he doesn't want Fuutarou to intervene in a family matter, much less about each quintuplet's grades. Yotsuba is the LEAST likely person to face their dad head-on, but damn, is it his own childrens' wish fulfillment to listen to.

Don't waste that last chance girls.

What an episode. Can't say the dad is wrong at all to be honest. Even with all of them getting a part-time job I doubt they can pay for tuition + all the other expenses.

Was curious and read the next few chapters and

Tamako-chan too cute.



Ichika really cares about her sisters as the big onee-chan...she works for them all and pay everything...respect.

Not sure what to think about their father yet...I mean I can totally understand him. As a dad, you have to think about the grades of your daughter and therefore probably a change is needed...

The quints wanted to repay Fuutarou somehow and they all thought of kissing him except for Yotsuba who actually licked the cream on his face, that was a sweet peck.

Ichika's really an admirable big sister. She's working so hard to pay the expenses of all five of them, I really like this part of her. She's a really great big sis. Also Tamako chan was really cute.

Welp the girls gotta work hard now to pass the exam, specially Yotsuba who's really athletic but is bad at studying. I mean even if she gets on college with a sports recommendation she'd still need to pass the exam atleast.

quite nice and chill episode, so much romance and stuff progressing in this episode. looks like uesugi's harem has pretty much all the quints in it now. that scene with the dad at the end was a bit scary but seems like its going to be okay for now, hope they do well on the next test... also, actor ichika was pretty cute.

This is great they kinda fixed the problem and they're coming back home with Uesugi tutoring them again but now it's quite tense because if they fail they'll be transferred to another school, well I hope that they'll be able to do it, but I'm not sure to be honest, seems like there will be other drama elements as well

If anything the quints father really is quite distant from them. Damm bad luck to start the new year with huh. Still i think the quints will be able to change that easily. Man they sure look dazzling in their kimono's. The group massage though sure was amusing. But its nice to see that Futaro's teachings have managed to sink in and got them to do their homework early. Itsuki's decision to become a tutor though sure was curious. But given Nino's skill at cooking a role in the food industry will be beneficial. Damm the role that Ichika took on sure was embarrassing. Still her acting ability sure has improved a lot. Looks like Nino's feelings for Futaro have gotten stronger. Only Itsuki can pull off such a refusal with a smile though. Overall an interesting ep that did well in showing just how much Futaro's entry into their lives have changed the girls some more than others. While Yotsuba's claim is somewhat bold im quite curious to see whether can the six of them pull off passing the next exam.

Still think the voice they gave to the father doesn't fit the character. That's actually very rare in my view. Generally anime casting choices are spot on.

This might’ve been my favorite episode of the season so far. There was no completely contrived conflicts in this episode and we got some solid moments with the girls, partikularly with Ichika and Itsuki. Hopefully it it keeps the ball rolling next episode.

The dad giving them another chance, while they sort of earned that with yotsuba and itsuki speaking up, it would've been interesting to see how they would've continue on their own. Looks like we've reset, back to square one, redoing everything except this time there's slightly higher stakes. But hot damn is ichika KAWAII

They implemented short hair Nino on the OP and ED already, nice arigatou ❤️❤️

The kiss scene on the TV really made some of our quints fantasying quite a bit, huh?


A great dream from Nino, it will serve many delicious foods, that's for sure. She is so talented at cooking.
Maybe, this is a possible future?


Meeting between Itsuki and their dad. He needs to understand Fuutarou is an important tutor for them. They, even Yotsuba, will get the passing grade for sure for him and themself! Glad Yotsuba stepped up helping Itsuki there.

P.s. Open this to see the 2 best girls of the series.

Maybe only ten seconds of the kimono scene. Sad, all of them looked great in them.

Well we can't forget the quints have left their previous house that was paid for and now have to try their best to provide a living for themselves. The Nakano household is running on the money Ichika earns. Ichika has to work a lot harder as the bills are very expensive. first time we've seen Ichika acting I think. She had to eat a piece of Fuutarou's awful cooking. Wonder how she really felt when she took a bite because she was definitely able to hide her real expression.

Father's face is finally revealed and those eyes he has, they look pretty dead. Instead of getting a new tutor Yotsuba deems she and her sisters will be able to pass with the help of only Fuutarou even after failing twice. Well the father gave Fuutarou and the sisters once last chance to pass so let's see what they'll be able to pull of. They say third times a charm!

I think I’m a little confused regarding Nino’s situation. At this point, does she know that Futaro and Kintaro were the same person, and she’s just in denial of her feelings for Futaro? I’d appreciate if someone could clarify on that for me :)

Shes aware that they were the same person. When she druged his drink a few episodes back, that was her revenge against him for trying to trick her. I wouldn't say she's in denial about her feelings per se, but more like in a state of disbelief.

Yeah still to this day, I don't like that father. He's a bad parent if you ask me.

The kimono scene was fire, shame it was so short though.

Leaving aside that Miku is still my best girl, they are all equally great. I really don't want any of them to lose :/...... Man, this is why I've been avoiding harem series lately :'D

Quite the imagination, Miku xD. Nino, the dominatrix. Yotsuba stealing the kiss. Ichika continuing to grow on me.... I enjoyed the episode so much I'm still excited about it haha. I said last week's episode was one of the best so far but I really loved this one too, I don't know, it was pretty funny and cute.

Another great episode, tbh at the beginning i thought that they would tell him that they all (besides Youtsuba) have feelings for him.

One of the funniest episodes from this season, Uesugi's sister is doing her role perfectly haha


On the other side, their dad is the worst guy ever, but i guess this is the time that they finally pass, and probably Yotsuba will realize her feelings or smth like that because the war already started, to see who will end with Uesugi.

This week's episode is also really good, just like the previous episodes. It really shows how Ichika cares for her little sisters. Also, the scene where the five of them wear kimono is very well done. About the father, I don't like the way he thinks about his daughters, but I can't say I don't get where he's coming from. That being said, I don't know why, but the pacing on episode 5 feels a little too fast for me. Still, a very good episode.

I'd love to see Ichika get changes, cause manga did her dirty.



From here as well Nino really shines, I never understood how people could get on board the Nino train.... but man did I hop on fast!



I hope that rumor is true as well and we get a anime original ending!

I didn't expect that from Yotsuba. I thought it would be more possible for Miku to eat a cake from Futaro's cheek. Anyway, it's the last chance for girls. I hope they will pass the exams.

Another cute episode. This time, more focused on Ichika's side as the character. And not gonna lie, she was really adorable in this episode.
Looks like Dad is here. But, he's willing to give the girls one last chance for their examination. Otherwise, transfer to a new school and Bye Bye Uesugi. I hope they don't blow up their last chance.

I'm relieved to see they adapted the phone call after all, as it was a small but very important moment from a character perspective. That aside, the pacing seems to have calmed down a bit this week after the show sped through the Seven Goodbyes, and the comedic and character beats really got a good chance to shine as a result. We're also seeing more and more evidence of the Quints developing feelings for Futaro as they interact more and more, which is one of the better directional changes we'll see going forwards from here (as opposed to the almost confrontational tone of a lot of his interactions with the Quints in the first season).

Best episode of the second season so far.
