It's Episode 2...and the harem starts from here then!

Wonder how Uesugi's game plan will be, and the quintuplets from here on.

And this episode it's all about Miku! #TeamMiku already? Hold on...there's still the other sisters to go! Literally the Warlords know-it-all master Miku! History is the key to her heart then.

Is it me, or is it wishful thinking that all 5 sisters will be the acting the same way as Miku? If that is so, then I'm literally stoked to see their different personalities play out.

Uesugi is trying too hard to reasonate with the target audience, the series is still ok as a whole.

But at this rate I rather wait for We Never Learn.


Oh well, this have to wait for Spring to come then, a more light-hearted rom-com feel of this series.

If you guys are falling for Miku this early, it won't do her justice. Wait until later chapters being adapted.
Most people are mindlessly jumping on it, merely because she's the first one to get time...

In my case i've predicted a lot of her personality and she'd definitely my type... Can't wait to see more of her :3
Yotsuba most likely going to be last, seems pretty obvious. The one most open will have their problems overlooked until later.


Miku is just too precious and they have already noticed it. I cannot wrong people for liking her. Although she did reveal one of the most important things about her that might have gone unnoticed as I haven't seen anyone mentioning it.



GenesisAria said:
I absolutely adore the way they are going about this... Not sure i can easily explain the predictable prospects of this series, but i can see where it's going and i love it. As improbable as them all perfectly complementing eachothers' flawss, and that one test being able to precisely measure that (that said, siblings do often complement eachothers' weaknesses, but not nearly this puzzle-perfect lol), it's still such a cute idea that it's easy to let slide . This is such a cute and precious formula and i wish it all the best ^^

That disguise was amazing lol Though would have been funnier if it was lest a mystery a bit longer XD

Miku is obviously best girl, even though i can tell the other girls are probably not gonna be far behind in future episodes.



I think you captured the most important part of this manga which is unlike other harem manga. Remember that these five have spent all of their lives together. The best part of this manga is actually the interactions amongst the quints as they evolve. This is why I highly encourage the anime only fans to read it once the anime ends.

The existence of Fuu starts to play an incredible role in their lives as individuals and as family members. It's wonderfully captured. You'll notice that even within the quints, all of them complement not only on the subjects they are individually good at but as family members/siblings. And just like any real family, there are sisters that get along better, there are sisters those would maintain the hierarchy and sisters those would want to break out of it. They will lend their shoulders to cry, they will hug to comfort the other, they will have fights, they will cry, they will make up, they will keep on growing up.

The only one who doesn't evolve much in the manga is Fuu as he specifically mentioned that falling in love in highschool is as good as peaking in life very early (although that smugface bastard. he was totally grinning thinking it was a love letter from Miku, lol). Besides, he has his own circumstances. You cannot wrong a brother trying hard to give a better life to Raiha. That's where we have the fact about family again. Raiha is also not a forgotten factor. She will keep on appearing throughout the story to remind viewers/readers why Fuu holds his family first, studies second, and his pride third (where he places romance is something I dunno).

Also, you are right about other quints getting their chance to shine. This is one of those rare stories where it will be really difficult to point your finger at one of the heroines and say that I simply don't like her. At least that's how it has been for me.

I wouldn't call that rare, i love love and i love a lot. There are plenty of anime where i love all the girls quite a bit, in various ways. For example one i might love like a sister, the other i might love like a daughter, another i might love like a lover, or another as a very close friend i wish i had.

It's not too often i genuinely dislike a female character unless she is just really foul -- careful of my definition of foul, i like dark/edgy, scary, and even violent girls too depending, but the key is always in who they are deep down and what their motives are. Someone who genuinely loves, i can appreciate them, no matter how dark their character is; whereas someone who's falsely sticking things into places in their mind/emotions to compensate something or otherwise leech/exploit, is tainted and foul.

That said, i'm not the type who just likes every anime girl to have spams of waifus like some idiots... There's just something about people in most anime/manga etc, that are just so wholesome and pure, deep down at least if not openly apparent as well. Most people irl are always looking to fill voids, consume things for comfort, use people for personal gain, it's all take take take, fitting my definition of 'foul', though not overly malicious, it's just the way the western first world works. In anime that's not a commonality, but a rarity, as a majority of anime etc is pure at it's core, even when it could very easily go bad (spoiler: it usually doesn't).

I can totally guess the next coming episodes' prospects. One girl, one episode until the 6th one and then some typical harem tropes for the later of the episodes. Well, will definitely have to go through the source after this adaptation is over only because I really like the characters (especially Itsuki and Miku). Putting the harem aside I really like the personalities of each girl, so I'll just have to tolerate the incoming harem tropes after a while. Its a decent harem for sure..


You’d be wrong to think this story follows that generic harem structure, but well, just keep watching, you’ll see what I mean.

Miku ended up being better of what I thought she would. Not gonna call her best girl for the moment, but that was a nice thing, since she didn't give me a positive impression last episode. Her passion for the History of Japan is pretty cute too.

Are the girls all afraid of Uesugi? XD they are all running away for some reason...

Never realized all those scores combined equals 100 untill their tutor Uesugi talked about it ^^; even so, that was a good one!

Nice episode! Can't wait to see how it goes with the rest of the quintuplets X3

Nice episode. I actually at Team Ichika, but why don't enjoy this one also, although this is fully Miku episode.

She's a rare type (more like endangered type) of girl who loves history and sengoku period's man. Nice idea for fuutarou to get into Miku by history subject. And finally, she (might be) develop a little feeling for fuutarou, which is make sense because few people can appreciate what she loves.

So, congrats team Miku. This is your day.

And the chore that is Nino is about to start next episode. *sigh*

Don't get me wrong she gets better and I mean reaaally better eventually 2nd to miku I'd say but at this part of the story she's straight up ugh. Funny how they chose ayana taketatsu as her VA since she reminds me of a certain imouto with a particular attitude.

While I don't disagree, the good points about this anime are how pleasant it is to the eyes and ears. It's nice to put on and it gets you in a good mood. If that's all you expect from it then it does its job very well.

For me, the color settings was slightly intense...I think? A bit off, visually. The soundtracks were unnoticed. My bad for being so picky. Whenever I see harem, I subconsciously compares it with The World God Only Knows.

Well Yotsuba was already been conquered, no doubt about that since she is deredere anywayz , o now Miku is the 2nd one to be conquered....

So let's take a look at these sisters:

Yotsuba- deredere
Miku - Hinedere
itsuki - Kuudere
Nino- tsundere
Ichika- bakadere.

ya know if Miku got a 32 on her mock exam, than that's already a passing score.

Wgok had like 3 season to grow on us while you are judging something from just second episode. It wasnt like wgok was awesome from the beginning. Plus it had individual girl arc which is a lot easy to handle. They did add a lot of unnecessary fanservice which wasnt so obvious in manga

i enjoyed this a lot more than the 1st episode tbh! this episode was really sweet and well-developed. i can't help to keep making love hina comparisons in my head. like literally each one so far is a perfect match for each of the love hina girls. i'm not complaining though. it's just. something that crosses my mind a lot watching this

there was a certain moment in this episode where the soundtrack annoyed me for a moment tho? and there are a few moments the animation feels. weird. but overall this is doing a good job being a soft slow burn

It's not like TWGOK did the harem part that great anyway. If anything, everything else about it was amazing and the harem part just dragged it down. Like at the end, only 2 + 1 + 1/2 of the girls deserved to win anyway, but we all know how the ending went. But this only matters if you think about TWGOK as a full-on harem series (like I did when I first started reading), which would be to its detriment if you do.

Lol yea. Its quite hasty for me to judge. What I meant to compare was how many candidates were introduced in the early episodes. Within 2ep of 5toubun, we had 5 candidates suddenly introduced. I guess I prefer the "1 by 1 candidates". It does focus on 1 char, with the next one unknown. Like wgok and other harems. You get what I'm saying? ┌┤´□`├┐

Its just an example. I'm not that well-versed in harem series. Well, the author rushed the ending because he was ill at the time. He did mentioned he might redo the ending. Just rumors. anyways, apples to oranges. Both series has its own appeals.
