----------------------------------------
Due to a change in broadcast programming, episode aired 31 mins later than usual:

Well...they aren't sure gonna leave the handsome Takeda behind as the space for the tutor's rival of the Nakano quintuplets (though the speculation (and confirmation) that Takeda is linked to Dr. Nakano came late). But with Fuutarou having the same over-stressed load of having to manage all 5 sisters while carving his own exam mentality in the water, man does he have it rough and tough as the mediocre idiot who can STILL ace the mock exam.

With the way things are, all 5 sisters preparing for Fuutarou's birthday is quickly drowning in sight, and don't mention about getting their confession to Fuutarou in a first-come, first-serve manner (though Nino just did episodes prior). NGL, the 5 paper cranes each indicating each and every sister's hard work for the mock exams, it's these symbolisms that I truly love (other than that one sister who suggested it in the first place).

The Sisters' War arc in the final 2 episodes will truly push each and every Nakano quintuplet to their absolute thinking hats...and Nino's declaration of love and war is only just the beginning in regards to the school trip, but too bad Fuutarou went with the "Bros before hoes" route instead.

The birthday present part was funny but sweet took. Ichika's pushing it really hard and playing it dirty too but the other quints won't stop either XD. Nino's on full offensive and she doesn't listen to what the others have to say. I love her straightforwardness.

Yotsuba part was just sweet. She's such a selfless and great girl. She always thinks of her sisters first to the point she doesn't even know what she wants herself. She was even ready to be alone so that the other quints get to be with Fuutarou, that scene was really touching.

Idrc if they change up who fuutaro marries but they just need to give the last 3-4 arcs a proper ending that Negi wasn't able to give out due to some of his personal reasons but I also think that they shouldn't change who he marries bc an author's story should be respected. Just if they changed the pacing of the last arcs would be enough to satisfy maximum audience I feel

Finally Yotsuba got some screentime.I am happy she got most screen time in this episode as I felt she had the least screen time. However, Ichika is dropping fast like a rocket.I thought maybe she will regret what she has done in the previous episode but no sign of that. Nothing worse than getting in Miku's way because she does not want Miku and Fu-Kun know the truth.





To be honest, I was acutally happy when I saw Nino with a birthday present and comfronted Ichika about the spring vacation scene. I also like Nino does turn up the temperature and already is aware of other girls (Miku) has a crush on Fu-kun. I didnt expect Nino to do a pout lol





Miku: In her work uniform, is DAMN cute. I love how she is always trying her best. I don't mind tasting her burnt croissant.



I can't wait when Miku finds out about Ichika's disguise and she hasn't seen the yandere side of Miku. BEHOLD!!!
Guess Nino will be experiencing Miku's Yandere form ^_^






The ending was funny but at the same time I think it is a fair choice since one of the sisters would be left out and that would be unfair. Well I dont mind if
gets left out *shrugs*


The sister picture LMAO, no1 is acutally smiling haha




Current ranking:

1. Miku
2.Nino
3.Itsuki
4. Yotsuba
5. Raiha

oh wow this was uquite interesting and fun episode as usual, i guess its pretty much confirmed that yotsuba likes fuutarou too now, well thats 4/5. tbh i think itsuki is the most interesting quintuplet to me since she doesn't just fall in love with fuutaro, nino is my pick for best girl though.

They keep on reshuffling stuff around from the source material but I'm hoping it's for the best. This way maybe the ending feels less contrived than in the source material.

Being pursued by the heels chaser lol what a development. Ensuring that the sisters reach the top ten of the mock exams really is quite the bold aspiration. Ichika's greatest rival though isn't Miku but the far more formidable Nino. Itsuki sure looked cute when she was trying to not show Futaro how nervous she was. Sometimes the simple things can end up being the most beautiful. That moment within the park with Futaro and Yotsuba though sure was nice. Its nice to see her finally get some time alone with Futaro. Overall an entertaining ep that did well in showing how Ichika and Nino's escalating fight for Futaro is going while also giving a rare opportunity to see Yotsuba's increasing feelings for Futaro show as well.

Wow, I guess all the quintuplets has fallen for Fuutarou now, and I’m pretty sure that Yotsuba has fallen for him too in this episode. I’m wondering if a Harem war will happened in the next episode, since the next episode will be called “Sisters War”. Overall I really love this episode, I enjoy every episode from season 2 so far. I’m looking forward to episode 11.

So unless there's two copies of that picture - Itsuki is confirmed as pretending to be Rena in the boating lake scene....

Nino is being far too pushy which is a complete turn off.

So that Takeda Yusuke guy was their father'ss spy all along.
Takeda seems like a new friend to Fuutarou although his motives are still questionable.
That box of cloths from Itsuki was suspicious, definitely a hint.

Woah the pacing went a bit fast this episode, which means a lot of things happened. After a challenge from Yusuke, Futaro struggled but passed the mock exams, placing him at 3rd nationally. This also happened at his birthday, with him getting some paper cranes from the quintuplets.

But dear Lord, the sisters are starting to make their skirmishes heard with one another as all of them fight for Futaro's attention and care in his birthday and for the school trip. Ichika...are we really doing this girl? Are we really fucking acknowledging how you turned into an antagonistic archetype just to win this fight? NOOOOOO. Nino is TOO upfront on getting Futaro, even almost pissing it out to her other quints. Miku is too weak to do shit, and Itsuki (my first ever fav) is too patient to make a move, still holding it out for the future

And yes ladies and gentlemen, in my opinion, this episode and my pick for best girl now belongs to Yotsuba. After all the girls have been liked and praised, it only took me now to like what Yotsuba is. And after episodes of staying cheery and viewing from the sidelines, she easily swept in and took my heart in a sweet and lovely scene in the park.

As the episode ends, Futaro opted to join the bois as his company in the school trip, leaving the girls no choice but to stick with each other. And as Yotsuba said before the ED plays, "this is awkward", oh yes it is and not just awkward, it might blow into a full-fledged Sister Wars!

Got some pretty good kawaii moments in yuru camp today, but I'm just gonna say that upside-down uesegi-kun was the best thing I've seen all day. Now yotsuba is my least favorite but dammit she's just so wholesome that you can't deny she's the most deserving of fuutaro. Glad she got a moment in this episode, they've cut out a handful of her scenes so far so it's good that she finally got her first scene alone with fuutaro in a while.

The irony. Ichika has become pretty selfish, is still playing dirty kind of, and has even looked down on yotsuba in a way. She asked for yotsuba to be in the group with herself and fuutaro because (at least how I interpret it) is that yotsuba has no chance (or just doesn't care) with fuuatro so she's like the only "safe" girl to have together in a group, which would leave fuutaro all alone to ichika. While I admire ichika's bold yet dirty tactics, yotsuba being the one to sacrifice her spot so that her other four sisters and their tutor could be together, augh, my hart.

Second best moment in this episode (after upside down uesegi-kun) is miku being jealous of nino calling fuutaro as "fuu-kun". When she repeats it, AAHH KAWAII!!! But yeah hot dam nino is freaking unstoppable and even ichika acknowledges that. Poor miku man, what are you going to do when you have a sister like THAT. So obviously nino and ichika know about each other's feelings about fuutaro, are they aware of miku's as well? I forgot. And I'm assuming they think itsuki and yotsuba are basically on the sidelines and indifferent. I mean yotsuba obviously does but I have no idea where itsuki stands. At least she gave him some energy drink or whatever to stay awake.

Anyway here we once again have a weekly dose of BEST FKING GIRL, SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN

It's nice that they've adapted Yotsuba's chapter. But man, they left the best scenes. When buying clothes, Ichika and Miku entered the shop and forced Fuutaro to get in the changing room with Yotsuba. She even changed clothes in front of him!

Ichika keeps getting better and better, the Onee-san types are usually the most boring girls in harem manga/anime, but Ichika's contrast between a caring older sister and a sneaky selfish bully makes for the quintessential gap moe.

At last Yotsuba gets her well deserved and much needed screen time, the date with Fuutaro was nice. Ichika tries to use her kindness to make her help with her skims, which puts her in a difficult situation because she also promised to help Miku, so she is forced to sacrifice herself to please all her sisters, which is admirable but I didn't like it, because after she prioritized helping her club-mates over studying for herself, and now this, it only makes it clear that she has a problem for being extremely selfless to an unhealthy degree, she needs to realize that it's ok to look out for herself too.

Nino continue to be an unstoppable train, she declared her love for Fuutaro in front of all her sisters, damn her braveness is just unmatched, Ichika and Yotsuba were trying roundabout methods to set up the groups around Fuutaro but Nino wasn't having it, she told him loud and clear that she wants to be with him ALONE because she LOVES him and that she isn't taking "no" for an answers, seriously she keeps proving her self as best girl every passing episode.

Wasn't Miko the one who wanted to call Futaro FuKun? Did Nino unknowingly beat her to it or was it intentional?

More of a breather episode which is fine with me.

It focused on setting up more unrest between the girls and establishing the school trip as the playground for the climax of the season.

Ichika continues to be a snake, but I can’t hate her for it because I understand why. Yotsuba is starting to shoot up my board because she genuinely cares about Futaro’s happiness and often knows what he needs the most.

It looks like Itsuki was the girl pretending to be Rena, likely meaning she is the one in the picture.

Takeda's screen time got reduced in favour of some screen time for Yotsuba. Which I'm fine with since he's not really important anyway, and it gives some nice characterization for her. I'm hoping the Sisters' War arc is evenly paced with only 2 episodes left.

Anyway, Nino still be girl.

Are they completely trying to remove the dad from the anime? Like I didn't feel that part with the tutor change and Fuutarou declaring he would get top 10 had to be changed. But kinda takes away from the scene to be honest. The whole getting 3rd in the nation was supposed to be really built up and a big deal, but it felt kinda pointless when barely a couple minutes was put into it.

AND HOW DID THEY MISS THE ALMIGHTY "Fuutarou only got 3rd place because he literally fell asleep for the last few questions on the last exam"

I also feel that the pacing in general has been REALLY FAST lately. Like the cuts from scene to scene are almost instantaneous, they barely give any pauses to digest, and are really trying to speedrun the story

I am a Miku guy, but Nino just keeps gaining ground. Honestly, either one can be best girl. Really like them both. Yotsuba gets some ground now too. She has no ill intentions for anyone. This leads us to her polar opposite, Ichika, who is now dead last. She's kind of the opposite of every one of her sisters good sides. Then there is.... uhm.... whats her name? Oh yeah, Itsuki. She's, I dunno, being Itsuki. She's not really doing anything.

But yeah..... Ichika sucks.
