| Of course there had to be another twist and Yotsuba had to be the childhood friend. Although in this episode they really sold me on the idea that it was Itsuki. Speaking of Itsuki... Itsuki's character is really weird harem-wise. Like, being technically the first girl you'd expect her to be in love with Futaro and win but she's just a best friend... even of his family. That said, for God's sake don't make Yotsuba win just because she's the childhood friend. I love how sweet and selfless she is but with all the development we've seen so far it would be unfair for her to win just for that. Ichika why?! I like all of you so why do you have to dig your own grave?! xD. At least it's good to know that Futaro is not that dense and realized Miku's feelings and about the fake Miku. Poor Miku, why do you make her cry? She worked so hard on her croissants :'( Thank God Nino is the complete opposite of Ichika and is there to help her. Man, at this point Miku should win but this is a harem anime and you never know, plus Futaro hasn't shown particular interest in any of them so there's that too. |
SogiitaGunha said: Didn't expect this change for the penultimate episode. FYI, this should have been in the aftermath of this arc, setting up 3 chapters of flashback and 1 chapter of Yotsuba's POV throughout the manga's important bits. And yes, Rena and photo girl are different quints in case you wonder about the how based on the water falling incident of Fuutarou. A VN comes out the same day the last episode airs. Seems totally intentional. The visual novel has nothing to do with the current canon, and is its own separate canon with a new story written by the author. |
| I was pretty underwhelmed by this episode. Whether it be because the pace was too fast or that it tried to focus on too many plotlines, a lot of what happened didn’t feel very impactful. Yotsuba accidentally revealing Miku’s confession, Ichika getting caught impersonating Miku, the camera stalker, the reveal that Yotsuba is the girl in the picture, it was all too messy. We all like to give Futaro shit for being dense, but I have an omniscient perspective and I am confused about what the girls are doing too. |
Classic Nino's way to cheer someone, better be upfront like this than backstabbing  She didn't deserve this. Ever. Mod Edit: Posts must not contain more than one screenshot. |

| The way things were developed in season 2 there is a possibility of having a 3rd season but who knows. I usually don't like to compare manga with anime. I see each of them as different story lines with many coincidences for the majority of cases. I haven't had any problems with the pacing of seasons despite some cuts that happen here and there... |
 |
| Ichika has gotten awfully underhanded with the way she does things. The difference between her and Nino is that Nino fights head on! I'm rooting for you Nino! Really really like how Nino cheered up Miku, felt really bad for Miku when she cried. :( Interesting, so Yotsuba is the one that Fuutarou met 6 years ago, so who's Rena then? We did get some really cute Itsuki blushes which was a nice bonus. |

| I loved this episode lots. I thought visuals while they were walking looked pretty and I honestly wasn't expecting Ichika to mess up there ngl. I feel really bad for Miku and that reveal with Yotsuba at the end was really surprising too |
 |
| Now I started liking all the 5 Sisters more and more.I dont want them to fight with eachother. But the way Ichika has been changed this season is totally opposite to the way she was in Season one. I was really sad to see Ichika doing things like this.Well actually she has been taking care of her sisters for a VERY long time, and in fact has been lost on what to prioritise. In the first season she acts as the big sister and tries supporting miku to the very end, but that doesn’t mean she WANTED to. Alongside this, miku says at the end “do whatever you want and I’ll do what I want”. Furthermore she finds out Nino confesses and “would trample over anyone” and then Yotsuba says “she should do whatever she wants”. Even more, Fuutarou says she’s good at lying, as if it’s a trait of hers. She misunderstands these advices, and honestly you can’t blame her, she has always been taking care of them and for an interval of time, she literally paid for their food costs and living expenses. All of this stress has made her “lie” because she believed it was her only good trait. People who dont understand a girls feelings can never get a girl. But calling her names is worse than that. |

| Gosh! this ep was on fire.. felt a bit rushed but with all the voice acting etc.. i wasn't too mindful of it.. also.. Gosh this art is so much appealing!  really glad that they changed the art and went with this one.. |
| Finally don't have to hold back when the anime-only's say "Reina's obviously Itsuki" |
Is Blue Box my favorite manga? Not yet...Yes. Yes it is.  |
| It’s never been a harder time being both a Miku and Ichika stan at the same time lol, it was a good episode. Hate to hear they’re rushing things but the episode didn’t feel rushed to me so I’m not that upset with it, surprised to hear the girl Uesugi met in Kyoto was Yotsuba, didn’t see that coming honestly and Nino getting Miku’s groove back was really nice. I’m hoping Ichika can redeem herself somehow in this situation, it looks like she might but we’ll see, because I still really like her and want to see her improve. Also, I most definitely want a season 3, can’t believe people want this to end now lol. |
| Everyone hating Ichika for her underhanded methods. But among 5 sisters, each of them need to get eliminated in different ways. Let's face it. If all of them equally fought fair and square, then how would this guy choose? Someone to be an asshole so they get eliminated. Someone to suppress their own feelings. Someone to play it fair. Someone to help others. Someone being tsundere. All these are actions that the writer portrays to give 4 of them the reason to fall short at the finish line. Wanna know who he ends up with? Here you go, at your own risk. Though I would have preferred he ended up with.. Gonna be interesting how many people are tempted to spoil themselves. Though I have no way of knowing. |
| Best ending line in anime history = "My name is Saiki Kusuo. I am a psychic." |
| idk how the source material handled it, but this episode’s pace was so fast (especially the talking) that the reveal felt quite abrupt and had no impact imo |

BetaMaleUltra said: So yeah, sorry to you fans if SHE'S your best girl, but I'm crossing my fingers for an anime-original ending here lol Well at least they won't have to worry about being sent death threats over who the MC ends up with since none of these sisters compare to the dynamic between Emi and Maou in Hataraku Maou Sama. Even if anime original ending changes who he ends up with, it can't get as bad as Maou Sama so they can choose whoever they want I guess. Also due to being quintuplets, they are all somehow able to disguise themselves as any one of them? The first thing that came to mind was these 5 sisters sharing this guy fooling him with disguise. Too bad they already ruled it out by making him realize who is who even with disguise on. Would have made for a pretty funny spinoff. |

Would have made for a pretty funny spinoff. Guess you could call it character development, finally. Mc-kun really isn't so dense after all and can finally pick up their unique quirks that should've made it really easy to differentiate them in the first place! He can already tell who yotsuba is since she has no acting skills whatsoever, and miku and nino are like the quietest and loudest respectively so they should be easy to tell who's who. Itsuki is kind of in the middle, I'd like to say a blend of all 4, which is why I want HER to win. And while ichika is the one with the talent of acting, mc-kun revealed that her acting is not good enough after all. Yeah maybe I would've liked them to remain on the disguise aspect a little longer. It was kind of fun. But we have to move on shintaroudesuu said: Lol, I'm just saying that the whole 5-toubun no Hanayome story is a flashback. In season 1 episode 1 it is shown that Fuutarou is married, so actually from the start even though there is no way 5-toubun has an Original Ending. Yeah of course he's going to get married, no one's going to change that. The question is WHO did he marry, duh |

| Bruhhhhh... this is what they call SHURABA.... lol And ouhhhh Miku 😭....this cliche part of being weak and all that makes me remember Akari-san from 3-gatsu.... btw no hate and ❤️ Akari-san I liked the fact from the starting of the series that it has tried to keep every girl out of the “being bitch” zone.... let’s see how they save Ichika... And something has always been curbing me about Yotsuba from season 1 in this story and yes!!! now I see Yotsuba’s part coming |

“ If there was no one else within a 5-kilometer radius from Shimamura, and she was in a deep sleep and an all-knowing deity just happened to reassure me that she wasn’t going to wake up the next 24 hours, maybe I’d get bored after 23 hours and I might kiss her once to relieve some boredom... ” |
| Yotsuba time! It was good Kyoto episode, only one left. Btw I was a big fan of Ichika in the first season and at the beginning of the manga but now she's on the 5th place in my ranking. |
 |
| 5-toubun no Hanayome: Speedrun Yotsuba still supported and helped Miku because she know Miku really worked hard for that day even though she is the girl Fuutarou met back then. That's some Best Girl qualities right there.  Mod Edit: Posts must not contain more than one screenshot. |

| They ruined anime and characters with this season... |
To be honest, that is just how I feel. Seeing this episode has made it clearly that Ichika does not deserve to be in my ranking list. :) |
 "Don't give up after failing just twice. We'll be able to do it next time. Failure is the stepping stone to success." |
| it's so sad to see Miku crying like that :'( Nino and Miku are the best sister and Itsuki who says who is the sister on the photo so anime viewers know now who is the bride ^^ |
i'm wonder how some people keep still like her and say she is the number 1 with what she does... I'm not hate her but with that she has been the least favorite of the quintuplets (she could have be one of the best without that) |
Albaab19 said: We haven't confirmed but still from 122 chapters, still around 32 chapters are left which couldn't be covered in an OVA or a movie so yeah we'll need a s3 Thanks for the update. I do hope we get a s3 if thats the case. I rather wait than see a rushed ending |
| "Don't give up after failing just twice. We'll be able to do it next time. Failure is the stepping stone to success." |
| Damn this episode is really making me like Yotsuba more, also the music was great. |
| Ichika... why? I feel really bad for Miku. I used to like Ichika but fuck no... not anymore. |

She didn't let miku confess (which was heartbreaking). She wanted for Nino to not get ahead (kind of annoying) and she dressed as miku to tell futtarou that ichika liked him (kind of a scaredy cat thing). |

When I seen B1tchika pulling Mikus wig and headphones out, my mind went along the lines .. FFS HERE WE GO AGAIN, SOME1 PLEASE STOP HER OR MIKU. at that moment, I thought Ichika would of successflly carried out her plan. I am Glad Miku found out but at the same time feel sad that Miku is hurt. I did wish Miku to slap her then run away or Nino slapped and chased after Miku. We could tell that Ichika couldnt care less since the tone she spoke to Nino. She plays dirty and I am sure she will still be the same. Regadless if she gets caught. I am starting to like Yotsuba's support as she puts other sisters in front than herself and she may be a happy girl but hey at least shes genuine. Nino is also likeable because she plays fair and square as well as saying it infront of others without doing it from behind. |

Yotsuba has became so much more better as a side character as she influenced futaro for the past 2-3 episodes and her appearances are rlly cute and funny. Ichika is crazy for Futaro and she takes risky steps to get with him, it is almost dumb. Nino or Miku's love for futaro is much more clearer and evident. Nino is like, "fuck the rest 4, you're mine" and Miku blushes everytime after seeing futaro since she was the first girl to like futaro after he met itsuki. |
