Nice reveal of what happened between Uesugi and this Rena girl, who says she was the same girl from 5 years back. Ahhh although she is kinda sus, both how she acts as if she already knows Uesugi, but also dipping yet again after talking for like, an hour. Wondering if we'll actually see "Rena" again or this is the first and last time.

Classic Nino, drugging Uesugi's drink before giving him her signature "Bye Bye~". Asides from that, it seems it's going to be even harder to convince Nino to reunite with the sisters, but i honestly wonder how how long she knew Uesugi was Kintaro, or was it just recently?

Itsuki still crashing at Uesugi's place. Ngl it's hard to say she's freeloading at this point, more like acting as a caretaker of sorts for the Uesugi family xD.

Ngl, that toothbrush scene between Yotsuba and Ichika, gave me some wild flashbacks to Monogatari.
Interesting ending, Miku dressing up as Nino was a surprise to be sure, but a welcoming one. Looking forward to what that whole deal is about though.

Damn, Ichika has been watching Monogatari recently.

Oh~ Classic Nino. Drugging MC once again as if it were something common these days. Also, her reason for acting like a total bitch towards everyone couldn't have been more... uninspiring. Given her almost toxic behaviour, I was seriously expecting something more meaningful rather than a mere complex towards her sisters.

Honestly, this arc is being such a pain. Though surprisingly enough, what annoyed me the most this time was actually Fuutarou thinking he could trick Nino a second time. We were so damn close to solve things out but of course the guy decided to go with the "Kintarou" act one more time in order to delay the conflict for a couple more weeks.

Quite a good episode. At first I thought that scene with Rena was a dream, but then I realized he told this story to Nino. Finally, it's getting more and more interesting. Also, I'm glad we have more Nino's screen time in this season. She's the best quint in my opinion.

for manga readers, it's me or the anime is very fast compared to the manga ?
I know they skipped some things but i hope they will not rush the anime for finish the manga because the 1st season adapted tome 1 to 4 so i hope they will not do the season 2 with tomes 5 to 14

Rena was voiced by a Kyouka Yuuki, who isn't on MAL database yet.

> I did my best to portray her as a Nakano sibling yet not sound like any one in particular.

its definitely a pseudonym being used to prevent ppl from looking at the credits to determine the identity of Rena.

The voice is definitely one of the 5 VAs. It definitely sounds like the character who manga readers know as the identity

At the moment it is impossible to say who Rena is. Fuutarou told Itsuki a childhood love story and Nino who liked his photo from years ago. However, Rena acts as if she is one of the quintuplets, and Nino acts as if she is Rena.

I haven't read the manga, so it's a mystery to me.

You fail to understand Nino's character or what this episode was about as a whole. If you paid a little more attention to what she was saying, or better yet read the manga you would have a better understanding.

Nino very protective of her sisters and she sees Fuutarou as an outsider who doesn't belong in their group. She explained that there was a time that the five of them were exactly alike but as they got older and started to go in different directions she became scared of losing her sisters and being left behind. In other words, she's still stuck in the past.



The way she acted here has nothing to do with Fuutarou not fitting in, but more with her complex with her sisters moving forward and her being stuck in the past though.

DirectorK said:

The point I'm trying to make is that she didn't do these things purely out of malice and Fuutarou realized that the moment he saw that she had puts his tests back together and was using them despite tearing them up previously. It showed that she had accepted him as the quints tutor but was too proud to admit it. From there he decided to drop the whole thing because he didn't see the point and instead advised her to make up with her sisters, specifically Itsuki. You'll see later that Fuutarou is the reason why Nino is able to move on.


And? Doesn't change the fact that it was shallow. Literally none of this would have happened if she didn't tear the test papers in the first place since Fuutarou has nothing to do with her problem.

DirectorK said:

As for the second drugging... dude. The guy was deliberately deceiving Nino by pretending to be Kintarou, but she had realized long before that that he was lying. He brought that all on himself. Try deceiving someone like that and see how they react. Fuutarou was lucky. Any other girl would have likely beaten the crap out of him for trying to pull such a poor stunt like that.


Deceiving how? HE IS KINTAROU! We know all 5 of the sisters were doing the same by deceiving others every now and then. Are you saying it's okay for Fuutarou to drug the quints every time they did try to deceive him?


Dude, dont even try it, that mf will defend nino with everything he got (idk why tho)

I get that their father is a doctor, but I don't think even doctors make the kind of money that's "pay for a swanky 5 bedroom apartment, and then if your daughters get into a fight just start paying for her luxurious hotel room on a moments notice" kind of money.

I was honestly waiting so much for Rena's first appearance, and this is what happened? She left suddenly saying she will never come again? wtf
And she just had to realize that he's tutoring her sisters...

I'm glad that Nino wasn't dumb enough to not realize that it was Uesugi all this time lmao
Finally, we're getting to youtsuba too, her team leader is doing everything to make them fail, that's for sure.

And was that Miku at Nino's new apartment?what is going on

I feel like it's a matter of time before Uesugi collapses again from overworking himself out.

Futaro is completely appreciated here, I mean look at the hard work the guy is doing. He is studying for his finals, dealings with his personal issues and trying to take care of the Nakano’s and constantly trying to bring them together. Rena… who is she exactly and whats the story going to bring to us. I can hardly wait, saving Yotsuba is next. Each Nakano is dealing with their problems and its quite cool to see how different each one is and how their tastes differ from one another. Ofc overall, good episode I shall say and I am very excited to see what happens next.

Great episode, though it did feel kind of fast paced, probably because they adapted like 4 or 3 and a half chapters in the episode. I am glad they used a different VA or voice for Rena, so people won't be able to tell who she is.

It's Nino's time to shine bois, this is where Nino became my favorite quint throughout the series. Looking forward to the next episode.

Still pretty rushed, but OK enough. Seems they gave Rena a slightly different voice this episode compared to last week to make it a little harder to figure out who it is (last week, it was extremely obvious).

It's interesting how Rena and Kintarou-kun both made appearances in this episode.

Anyway, I really love the art style in this season compared to the first season. The girls are so expressive.

See how those manga bros complain about they skipping the conversation in episode 2???
Y'all need to stop it, and realized Anime Adaptation ain't gonna follow 100% page to page into the Anime... Obviously they need to move around some scene...

We finally have the conversation with the "mysterious girl" name Rena. Lol
We all know it's one of the girls... But Who? I wonder if we would get the answer in the end of season 2..

So Nino already know from the beginning it was Fuutarou??? Or she just found it out in the Hotel room when she making a called...

I have no idea which sister 'Rena' could be... by her voice alone I'd guess she's either Ichika, Itsuki or Nino, but other than that I'm clueless! Or... maybe Ichika wasn't joking about a secret 6th sister haha!

As for the sitch with Nino; Fuutaro shouldn't have tricked her with the Kintaro thing to begin with but at the same time he tried multiple times through their 'date' to tell her the truth but she kept cutting him off.

Now that is a suspect expression.

Also, thumbs up for the Monogatari reference, albeit without the original implications.

Yotsuba's multiple responsibilities are weighing on her mind. Hopefully Ichika and Fuutarou will be able to unbind Yotsuba from her conundrum.

Rena. She's quite mysterious. A part of me wants to believe she's one of the quintuplets; however, I still see her being unrelated to the quintuplets. Maybe Nino dressed up as Rena. Hopefully this mystery will be uncovered this season.

Well Fuutarou messed up and now he's lost the trust of Nino as he deceived her. She checked out of her hotel and is on the move.

Seems like the focus for next episode will be on Yotsuba. Try to stop her from overworking.

Was that Miku dressed up as Nino before the ending song?

Pretty sure Itsuki is Rena due to the expression Rena had, can’t be 100% sure though haven’t read the manga.

But a lot of her expressions seem to be like the ones Itsuki had in the first season.
