| It was a masterpiece of a manga, until this ending happened. And that's all i can say. I just can't believe he ended up with the less obvious girl of them all. And tbh, the final chapter was just like throwing sand to my eyes. Why can't a fantastic manga end well? Is it that difficult? Then again, in the end, things not always go like the way we want them to. What is done, is done, there is nothing we can do about it. Still, i won't deny that this was quite the ride and a great harem manga. But it really doesn't deserve my 10 anymore. Dropping it to an 8 and i'm already being generous |

| Terrible ending but I still enjoy it... 7/10 |
 |
| The ending was one of the most solidly consistent for a harem I've seen in a long while, so i guess all of the hate is salty people really mad their ship sank hard lol The entire narrative and mystery of the story foreshadowed Yotsuba winning from the start, how did you guys expected anything else after her flashback reveal? 9/10, quite the amazing read, even though it could do it without that stupid real father subplot. And no, the wedding wasn't a dream, and the final scene is him reminding of the past, in which he remembered dreaming about the day of the wedding, and that was meant to be a troll deja vu (the narration soon after returns confirming everything actually happened). It's funny because the detractors says it feels rushed because they didn't show the other 5 years or whatever. Rushed would be ignoring all that and from the point where he declared himself, the story would just go with the timeskip, the amount of time dedicated to properly set things up was just on pair with how the story presented itself overall, fast paced, but without misusing the chapters uselessly (like almost all harem manga end up doing), instead, all of them had a purpose, even the few I didn't like (aka the real problem in this story, the real father subplot, which I rather have it out of the story despite being necessary). They gave closure to every single important thing before the actual timeskip and then proceeded to finish up the job during the entire ceremony, so yeah, no, not rushed. While other detractors say it dragged too much, but that's not really true, they dedicated the entire final volume as a big epilogue to close the lose threads between the sisters, before the grand finale, and showing anymore than that would drag down, but the author did not, you can't be that stupid to spend more than one chapter in the quintuplets accomplishing their objectives after a hundred chapters dedicated to them walking towards them, it would obviously drag down the story a lot (which is an iconically very fast paced Harem series all things considered, I did not expect anything during the timeskip to show, it would be absolutely superfluous if it's just more hard work and struggle montage being shown and their lives in each place, and they lamenting something about their choices, etc... we already had all of the chapters dedicated to those same conflicts beforehand, what was lacking was a solid conclusion to those character arcs, and we got exactly that). |

| I absolutely love the amount of salt present in this reaction, it's like the second coming of Nisekoi's ending. As for me, while I was more team Nino, I'm actually happy Yotsuba won, so 8/10 ending for me. |
 |
| I've read all the manga in less than a week, and now I've come to the end... first of all, of course I'm satisfied dor having completed the manga, but I'm a little sad too. The ending was not so bad as many heaters say, but I admit it's a little bitter: I don't know... it's like the Quintuplets(at least Nino) haven't forgot at all about Fuutaro. Anyway, the bride wasn't the girl who I expected(or wanted), but that's fine for me. I know this is the very end, but I hope there will be a one shot sequel(maybe a comic scenario regarding the Honeymoon). PS: I'm sorry for the other four spinsters XD |
| From best harem to a your average harem with a less entertaining ending. Severely disappointed. Gave it a 7/10 because of the first half. Remind me to never read or watch harem anime/manga series again. This was my last hope and it failed miserably in that regard. Thanks for nothing Negi. |

Even if he wanted the endgame to be Yotsuba (which is still a terrible choice) he could have at least made better closure for the other sisters instead of shitting on 99% of the fandom. |
spiked_spiegel said: Danpmss said: The ending was one of the most solidly They gave closure to every single important thing before the actual timeskip and then proceeded to finish up the job during the entire ceremony, so yeah, no, not rushed. There was never a reveal from Yotsuba to Fuu they she was the girl from the past. That's a big plot point. The whole basis of Fuu choosing Yotsuba was she was on his side "From the start" meaning when he began tutoring the sisters. Yotsuba never gave Fuu a hard time like the other Quints as she knew him from their past. Had this been relieved to Fuu it could have changed his opinion on Yotsuba. But it was?     Futarou knew she was the one from that day, which triggers Yotsuba to reveal her conversation with Itsuka, which at the time was helping her to cover up the Rena plot (which by this point, it was symbolically dropped by both Fuutarou and Yotsuba, which also makes this feel so much more genuine and not enforced "just because" she was the girl from the past, that being more of a bonus reveal for Fuutarou's own surprise soon after the little flashback scene closes). He then just handwave it casually like "Are you telling me that back then... why didn't you just told me earlier (that you were Rena)", to which she just ends the interaction saying she will now have a lot more things to tell him about. Her reveal is basically the very last big thing closed by this ending, and it doesn't hold much of an impact other than being just even more fitting, since it comes as a non-obligatory element that doesn't just cheaply tie up their feelings for each other just because the plots told so (despite following by the book the "childhood promised one", it subverts it by averting its actual use within the narrative, all the more to appreciate how it was executed, in my honest opinion). This is some really good writing right there. |

| Just here reading spoilers if its worth to read or watch 2nd season... Thank god Itsuki didn't win, now Im going to watch and probably read it to the end :D |
| ❑ Single (¬‿¬) ❑ Taken (¬‿¬) ✔ Mentally dating a character that doesn't actually exist φ(°ρ°*) |
| welp it's over and I have never felt so conflicted.....I dont dislike Yotsuba but she was my least favorite in a way...it went 1.Miku 2.Nino 3.Ichika 4.Itsuki 5 Yotsuba again I don't hate her but I like the other(mainly the top three)a little more....if not way more....if she had more romantic moments with him I would've felt something more but she really didn't so Fuutarou choosing her just feels like....why to me....and the whole debate of dream or not I dont even know....ending is just meh to me...maybe the author wanted a bit of open end....again I don't know I'm not smart..... |
| Okay so let me get this straight lol, he wanted to troll us with that waking up from a dream situation but if you look closely at his clothes before he said "quintuplets are trouble" there are 2 fuutarous one with the dream clothes and one with the after the marriage clothes so im pretty sure that dream was him thinking back when they had the same problem where to decide to go before the timeskip and before him moving away, but anyways i liked reading the manga and to be honest i had no problem who he was gonna choose in the end well i hoped it wasn't ichika 9/10 |
dmat5 said: noelX said: finally someone who is ion the same page as me! Tired of reading all these comments saying it was bad.What a masterpiece. It was everything I wanted it to be. The last few pages where past and future are compared are unsettling to me, i don't want this story to be over. Now we need 4 spin off for the other quints love stories. Yotsuba can finally let go of her ribbon and her past insecurities. She is also the bell kisser, of course. Fuutarou looks great in the future. 10/10 edit: i think fuutarou in the past dreamed of marrying yotsuba in the future, and future fuutarou was remembering when that dream happened. i don't know why people are interpreting it as the wedding was a dream. yeah i bet if their girl was picked they would've had a different opinion |
 |
| It took me over a month to finally start reading again after the slog that chapters 110+ were. And it was kinda worth it, not the best but not the worst and good thing I stopped giving a damn about romance after I knew Nino wasn't gonna win. Regardless of the drop in quality near the end I'll still give it a 9/10 because I love the quints way too fucking much (Nino may as well be my favorite female character ever) and the first 90 or so chapters were such a joy to read. |
 |
| Oh, the salt in this thread is just beautiful. Personally I liked this manga a lot and while the ending could have been waaay better, I don't particularly mind it either. That may just be because my pick won, though. :D Darn, I'm seriously going to miss this series so much. 9/10 from me. Now to just hope the second season of the anime won't be a complete disaster. |
| OωO |
| All I can see here are hate messages because their ship failed lol Also insulting the author by saying "fuck Negi" or whatever just because you didn't like his manga completely invalides all your arguments it's so obvious what you are all mad about |
| My general feeling from this is as follows: I think the author had this ending planned out from the beginning. The whole initial meeting between mc and Yotsuba and her seemingly random confession as well as her suspiciously altruistic behaviour, never being anything remotely approaching an option throughout so much of the early part of the story. And, the way everything ties in at the end too? It all makes sense, if you just look at the earlier parts. What I think happened was, he had a certain arc and way of telling the story planned out, and then he ran out of time, aka, his publishing company said "Okay, you've got x amount of time to finish it." I think he had, originally, a much longer last year arc planned out. If I were to guess what would have happened, I think he would have continued with the existing arcs that felt like they got short, increasing the tension and development, but, more importantly, in fact, I think centrally, you would have seen Itsuki's role as the stand-in childhood friend making her actually fall for him coupled with Yotsuba's inability to fight off her true feelings increasing more and more as time went on. I believe you can see from how the ending went that this was originally planned, but the way it went, it didn't really feel like it fit. My view is that the school festival and ending were largely planned in advance but the segway between what came just before and the sudden "Time to wrap things up," is what really felt disjointed, not to mention all the loose ends that weren't tied up / were not tied up to our satisfaction. Overall, it's rare for a harem to show this much depth, let alone actually not have a clear "lead girl" from the beginning, and the twist was actually pretty interesting. That said, the ending isn't quite unforgivable, but the way it fit together with the rest of the story just didn't feel right. 7/10 but it could have been 9 with a little more time. |
| Man, this was great! All those past v present moments was honestly a treat to watch. Best moment of this timeskip though is the conversation between Fuutarou and Mr. Nakano. Fuutarou's dad is best dad. Character designs after the timeskip were very pleasing to see as well. But man, they really look like Quintuplets all the way through lol. Not fully convinced by that "bell' scene in all honesty but it was nice to see some context on it nonetheless. What about the bracelet though? Anyways, this has been an amazing read! Was at the top of its game in the mid phase after starting off a little slow but it's a journey that I'll find her to forget for sure. Really liked the notch in drawing for the finale chapter too, usually we'd see a few of those off shot models but not here. Thank you Haruba Negi for this great piece of entertainment and I can't wait for more from you, sir. Here's to hoping we'll be able to see the Seiyuus bring this to life someday. I do feel bad about Nino and Miku getting the short end of the stick like this but Yotsuba took the throne for me late in the game and I couldn't help but feel like it was always meant to be her all along. First to meet, accept and confess to him, that's Yotsuba lads! 9/10 from me. Edit: Bringing it down to a solid 8/10 after all. Not discrediting anything from above though but it was definitely down in quality towards the latter end and I feel like an 8 is more accurate. |

namx2 said: Whoa. All those people writing about ending being ‘a dream’ are they actually reading the same manga as me? If that ending wasn’t certain for somebody then I can only congratulate living in whole another world. Also all those individuals whining about MC choosing Yotsuba... I was in Nino camp, but it was pretty reasonable why Uesugi chose Yotsuba. Damn he even said it himself there wasn’t even need for out-of-the-story chiming or anything. That's because none of them read ch 122.5 which might get their dreams shattered. |
| If this had ended in a harem or in a way where it implies any of them could have won this would have jumped to a score of 9 and above, at the end of it all people just got bitter cause their chicken didn't win. Funny tho cause while I say Yotsuba is my favorite among the quints its actually a tie between her and Ichika, most of my post card collections are Ichika, even the last vol 14 one I took the Ichika card lol, well actually its a win win since its Ichika cosplaying as Yotsuba. Anyways I just re-read the whole thing and yep, it was quite the fun ride. Noticed how Negi's art made em more chunkier in the end, wonder if deadline crippled the guy lol. Read CH 122.5, everything happened, well it was obvious even before that tid bit chapter but some people were just too gullible or they just wanted to shit on the series via actually believing it was all a dream, tho tbf I blame the TL, they put that bias theory of theirs at the end of CH 122 which had probably a lot of people believe it was all a dream. |
  |
| I believed it was real, but some evidence of the dream thery made me doubt... now I've just read chapter 122.5 and I'm glad to know it was all real! |
| All I ever wanted was happy harem ending.... |
| I do not support for Itsuki, but I know she deserves Uesugi more than anyone. Because the pattern always look like that. I've read Nisekoi, Masamune no Revenge, Date A Live, OreSuki, Saenae Heroine no Sodataketa, and Domestic na Kanojo. From that pattern, I completely know who's going to win the MC's love. So why Itsuki doesn't win? I don't want to spoil, but even Onodera from Nisekoi as a childhood friend from Ichijou Raku doesn't end up like Uesugi and Yotsuba. SO WHY? |

| I'm late for like months to comment on this chapter but I want to smack my head anyways. I really love this series as much as I hate that fucking ending so much. |
  Once we realize it, everything will fall into place Our hearts calling to the future with all their might We'll move forward, holding each other's shaking hands |
| Okay. I don’t like the result and as many people here, I didn’t really like the development in the last volume, that is the chapters after Fuutarou chooses Yotsuba. As has been pointed out, Fuutarou choosing Yotsuba was kind of abrupt as she didn’t have much development, particularly compared to 2 and 3. I would have been okay with Yotsuba ending if it was justified by the story writing and development, but it wasn’t, in my opinion. On the other hand, Fuutarou just picked who he liked and there’s no rule that you need to have strong character development for the main character to like you. Anyway, it still pissed me off that Yotsuba won. However, I thoroughly enjoyed this manga, and particularly the story from volume 5 to volume 12 or 13 were one of my all-time favorite manga experiences. Fuutarou was a great MC in that part and had a great development, quintuplets were amazing, and the story was thrilling. So Gotoubun no Hanayome is still probably a 9/10 for me. |
