Oh boy, Fuutarou and Ichika ran into some more drama with the guy she was meeting before. For a tutor, he really does want to help her and wants to make his job more meaningful.

Good amount of character relationship building between them this episode. He's not just his tutor but also a partner. Oh and I do find Ichika to be pretty cute when she makes those blushing faces lol

Oh boy! They are already picking the same thing!



The childhood's end is nearing the quints.

Also, the studio have already spent all of the meager budget they had been allocated for this adaptation it seems. The only thing that looked good in this episode was that black sedan. Such a wasted potential.

I can already predict the BD/DVD sales. It won't reach 2K/volume.

Such beautiful fireworks but Too bad the sisters weren't able to watch it together. Quite the interesting situation that Futaro found himself in with Ichika there. Well i guess partner is better than teacher lol. That script practice scene was pretty nice. The little heart to heart between Futaro and Ichika was pretty interesting as it allowed us to peer into their hearts. While they did miss the fireworks display the little fireworks event at the park sure made up for it. Nice to see the sisters make peace with each other over their actions at the festival. That scene when the five lighted their fireworks together sure was magical. An excellent ep that not only ended the fireworks festival on a high note but also did well in expanding upon Ichika and Futaro's characters. Looks like Miku's gonna get competition soon.

It felt like so much has happened during that fireworks show. Shame they didn't manage to see the fireworks together, but atleast they had their own little fun in the end. I just love how Miku and Ichika choose the same firework!

These girls are all so god damn cute, goes for Nino as well when she tries. I just wish it had a better animation quality backing up that cuteness. I do appreciate how colourful the Anime is though.

Is this gonna be another Nisekoi? With the way it showed he met one of them in the past but they were all looked completely the same tells me exactly that. Or he met all 5 just like Nisekoi.

This episode was alright. Just didn't feel like a lot happened. It's understandable because this episode was a tad bit more serious than all the previous ones.

At least it seems that Ichika's dilemma is properly addressed for the time being.

I will laugh my ass out if this has more sales than the other one and the studio goes "oh snap, we shoulda put more care on this one instead". Still, not surprised the latter dominates in ranking here.

Personally I was too transfixed by the way they were presenting the relationships that I completely ignored the technical aspects. He and the girls notice when they do something wrong and try to correct. His snot bubbles in his sleep were so good

The philosophy the quintuplets live by, taught to them by their mother, reinforces in my mind that somehow, possibly in some surprising way, all five will wind up in a very close, even intimate, relationship with Foutarou.

Fuutarou is a good partner, he somehow managed to get the girls to see the fireworks together, it was also revealed what Ichika was hiding.
I liked Miku's new hairstyle, she looks really cute (as always).
Fuutarou tries to know what his relationship with the Nakano sisters is, although at least he understood that he make Miku and Ichika feel sad when he said they were not friends.
When the mustache guy confused Miku with Ichika made me laugh, the poor thing could not do anything, but I loved how Fuutarou rescued her and the face of Miku when Fuutarou says that he is her partner, her face was beautiful and then they give us another image with Miku very happy telling Fuutarou to go for Ichika.
It is revealed that Ichika is an actress ... Ufff thank god that was it, I thought that she would be a model or something that would put her in trouble.
Ichika today had many times when she blushed and yes, she is very pretty, but even so Miku and Yotsuba are even more beautiful.
Fuutarou sleeping with his eyes open is very funny and weird.
That part where Miku and Ichika take the same firework was very tense, the girls are going to fight the heart of Fuutarou. And that final image with Fuutarou sleeping on the beautiful thighs of Ichika, very good detail.
Today we had a couple of very interesting clues, first the flashback of Fuutarou and the long-haired girl (I smell Nisekoi, I have a bad feeling) and then we see Nino with a picture of them when they were little girls and they all looked the same as the girl from Fuutarou's flashback.

If I'm honest, I realized the technical details after the third time I saw the episode, which means those details were insignificant and irrelevant, I was too busy contemplating the Nakano sisters.

The animation was fine. They didn't cut corners for scenes it was truly needed. The "bad animation" is not even noticeable when it's in lesser important scenes and so on... This also isn't the type of series to need to heavily rely on top notch animation. I didn't see any out of the ordinary animation lacking that isn't already normal and therefore already acclimatized in most anime. I think people just get too anal.

Was a nice ep, and they managed to conclude the mess and cover missing the fireworks. Got some great BEST GIRL MIKU scenes, and some nice characterization for Ichika. If anything this has me wondering if the idea is to keep tutoring Ichika so she can go to university for acting, or if she's going to forgo further education to pursue her career...

Great episode. Lots of Ichika this episode which is always welcome as she adds a breath of fresh air. Miku is still best girl though because shes so perfect.

Some people saying animation quality is bad, it seemed pretty good to be honest, there were some parts where it dropped a little but not in the main scenes at least.

You guys would probably have noticed the drop in art/animation had you seen it raw (like I did). I think the subtitles drew your attention away from actual artwork which was really appalling at times.

But I have not said the episode was bad itself. The story will keep evolving as we go forward. As a manga reader, I am actually surprised as I am revisiting the earlier chapters through the anime and seeing how far we have come with the characters and the story in little under 18 months. But the episode actually touched upon many things and showed the quints when they were little much earlier than in the manga iirc.

Coming back to the episode, Miku is already in love with Fuu. Subtle things like she is avoiding talking or even looking at his direction or the hidden meaning behind liking the one she picked is all but making it obvious that she has found her man.


It's criminal how adorable she is!

That being said, looks like the anime is gonna truncate a lot of chapters from here onward and just animate the ones the production team would deem necessary to reach a certain point to pull the curtain for this season.

No you weren't. Also I thought she was a porn star after I heard the guy was a camera man lol


This show is growing on me so much. I'm glad I stuck through the first 2 episodes.

Miku has to be the one he marries (as alluded to in the opening, although I'm willing to concede that that might be a metaphor). Perfect one for him and easily the best of the 5.

Yeah I really like Miku also. Though I don’t think he’ll end up choosing her. At least not definitively in the anime. From what I understand even in the manga Uesugi hasn’t expressed any explicit romantic interest in any of the girls. It’s also possible the manga could just end when Uesugi and the others graduate and are friends by that point. Basically then leaving it up to people to decide who he ended up with. Unless he got married like right after he got out of high school.

this episode is the one hell performance made by hanazawa kana aka the best seiyuu neither in MAL or all over seiyuu!!
OMG his voice roled as older sister truly get and point plus when she making voice embrasse
ah~ im going heaven now~




but anyway,this episode is the best and for animation. i think little by little the animation got reduce from moving between phase per phase and the running character. from miku phase maybe its little accurate but after that i see its got reduce
not to mention the shade, but atleast the coloring still make it throught

for this episode i give perfect because i'm the fans of hanakana :3

Probably the best episode of the show so far. The conclusion to last week's ruminations about Futaro's relationship with the quintuplets went well, and we got some decent development for Ichika as well.

I have to wonder though, is their philosophy about sharing happiness and what have you foreshadowing how their relationships with Futaro are going to progress? It certainly seems like that's a possibility, at least.

At least most of the anime fans I've asked about it also think like this, too (except for those who follow the manga). Sexy clothes and secret relation with strange man is enough to made that thought.


As the oldest, Ichika also want to have something that makes her dependable for the others. That's why she really want to catch the opportunity as the actress. She reallt fight for it, this and some other things later, is the reason I like Ichika among the five. Of course, she might have little chance to ended up with the MC, but I never choose best girl because of that thing.

I totally thought the same. Thank God my assumption was wrong.

Also, I think that the scene when Ichika lets Miku have the firework they picked its a symbolism that she's not going to end up with Futarou. If that ends being true, Kana Hanazawa is indeed cursed.

The voice acting of all the quints have been really over the top in this anime so far. But I have to mention Itou Miku here.

I was skeptical about Itou Miku's selection during the announcements because I had never heard any of her roles before this one. She has really far surpassed my expectations. She is surrounded by so many great seiyuus yet she has totally nailed Miku's role. The way she says "watashi wa kore ga ii" and "un suki" were yet again some fantastic examples of her voice acting as Miku so far.

What a fantastic episode! I feel like this episode brought this anime to another level.
I hope they maintain this quality.

Ichika's moment was so good, she always tries to act adult and serious but in the end, she is just like her sisters.
Miku looked so cute with that hairstyle.

But honestly, for 400€ for 2 days, Fuutarou is doing a good job hahaha
