"And I did it, because I was a man who had exhausted reason and thus turned to magicks"
So something funky is up during the wedding. They've mentioned 11 wedding dresses and the rings being absent is also weird. While some weird harem ending is on the cards, is it possible they are still playing the Quintuplet game and he has to figure out who he is marrying/find his bride during the wedding?

Considering how vastly different they are in personality, there would be something incredibly grim about him not being able to tell them apart by that point.

I'd dock a point if this goes for a harem ending, but it also was foreshadowed with the whole "holding hands at the end of the festival means you're bound for life!" while all five were holding the mc's hand.

It'd be exceptionally grim if on the day of the marriage he still had to prove he really loved his bride by finding her in a game of literal find the lady. That said something is up and all i can come up with is that or secret quintamy.

Miku's pout is powerful, but Nino's thirst is stronger still.

I'm looking the earlier chapters over again and I am now reasonably convinced it will be a harem ending. The question is if he knows that or not. :v:

When is Fuutarou going to actually respond to Nino A) confessing her attraction to him and B) blatantly coming onto him by nearly getting into the hotspring with him :argh:

People say the romance is rushed but I mean, Fuutarou hasn't even acknowledged that any of them are attractive, let alone he is attracted to any of them.

Never, the flashforward is just a very elaborate movie shoot which Ichika roped him and her sisters into.

Let's be fair, she's voiced a good deal of insanely great characters as well. Kagura is basically every "cheeky brat" character rolled into one cute/dumb/rad/goofy package, for example.

Fair enough. I've been only following the anime, and this far, Miku and Yotsuba have been the raddest.

Nino definitely gets way more rad, but that happens around chapter 40-50 and unfortunately there's no way a single cour is going to get us that far

Nino does have some good moments early on, even if they're not the sort that would make her good waifu material. :v:

Itsuki is still probably the only character who hasn't had any significant screen time.

I legitimately do not understand people liking Miku. Ever since her introduction mini-arc she hasn't really had anything to her character other than "shy and in love with the protagonist" (though the stuff with her potentially being all manipulative and weird in recent chapters could be fun, but people had this opinion long before that).

Yotsuba...I don't agree but I guess I can sort of understand people who just really like the "shishishi" thing for some reason. She's also not obnoxious, which counts for something.

Several things, but this image...


... was my first contact with the series and sorta sums up why I like her the most. I'm actually surprised, since I'm a sucker for tsunderes and both Nino and EatItsuki are also there (only following the anime so thanks for the spoiler tags :) )

Yotsuba (and more specifically Ayane Sakura, her VA, channeling those Kana Asumi vibes) does remind me of Miya from Amagami, so maybe it's that. :shobon:

It was out on mangadex, as a stolen translation using bad scans, so it was taken down.

To be completely honest I kind of feel the same about the bolded, though I tend to prefer the characters that are just "mildly" tsundere (in the sense of being kind of "prickly" but not assholes who do things that are actually inappropriately mean; Kurisu from Steins;Gate is a pretty good example). I think the appeal is the same sort of appeal that results in most shoujo love interests being sort of standoff-ish.

edit: I think it's less a matter of liking tsundere as an archetype and more actively disliking almost all other major shounen love interest archetypes. The best kind of love interest are just the "girls who act like normal people," like the one in that "Ookami Shounen wa Kyou mo Uso o Kasaneru" manga.
