**Asking me for any Romcom or Harem recommendations? Yes, this manga is definitely one of them.
Minor spoilers:
If you are interested in how sisters compete against each other knowingly or unknowingly for the love of the protagonist, Fuutarou, then this manga is definitely for you.
Story: 9.5
As a manga in the category for Harem, it is rare to find a manga that DOESN'T FOCUS on a ton of ECCHI moments (such as constantly showing naked girls or girl undies). If you are trying to find pure love development without wasting time on ecchi moments, this is truly the right manga for you.
What I appreciate the most about this manga is that the Mangaka is able to draw the conclusion in the beginning while baffled with which girl of the quintuplets will be the ultimate bride. Through chapters and chapters, each quintuplet is given a fair chance to compete and continues to trick the readers into thinking "maybe she is THE BRIDE?". While doing so, the transitions are so smooth and won't make the readers feel repetitive or feel that the story is stagnant.
**Even though the plot was slightly shaky around the middle-ending section (-0.5), there were still no side stories or stagnation even until the end.

Huge 10. In order to draw and help distinguish the difference between the quintuplets, it requires a ton of mastery in drawing out the details of the characters. For me, I have no difficulty in telling the difference among those quintuplets (except the bride!!!!!!) ;(, why does Haruba san have to make it so hard for the readers!!). Even when quintuplets switch minor things, such as hair ornaments, with each other, the Mangaka was able to draw their faces so well to the point that I also have no difficulty of getting confused.
Emotions and expressions are drawn to the point that some scenes literally melted my heart. 1010101010101010
The backgrounds are also on point
Character: 10
The Mangaka definitely put in a huge effort into creating the distinct personality of the characters. Even if the quintuplets look alike, their difference in personalities never ceases to amaze me as to how they flow from chapter to another chapter. Their actions, purpose, and motivation are so clear to the point the I feel like they are real.
Enjoyment: 10
When I first know this manga, it was updated to chapter 56. I have no problem binge read those chapters in the early morning from 7:30 am to lunchtime. Then, whenever the manga is being updated, I naturally just click to read. <3
**Two years later, here I am re-editing this manga review :D
Overall: 10
A masterpiece of harem manga. I was so happy that this manga was announced to have an anime for itself in 2019. Congratulation because it is truly well deserved. No wasted time for side stories and each chapter has the meaning and purpose of the upcoming chapters.
**It is alright if the ending isn't your taste. It is also perfectly fine if the bride of the story isn't who you predicted to be. This manga supports why love is just such a complicated yet exciting topic to write and read about. Moreover, this manga is a "simple" refreshment for everyone to enjoy!
I am grateful to have the chance to read this manga.
*(Still am after following this manga for a year)
**(Love the ending even though I wanted someone else to win. Thanks for this manga! No regrets <3)
orig Chapter 56->*edit Chapter 87 -> **second edit Chapter 122
