Yotsuba isn't necessarily out, but ... yeah, she's out. The way she's flustered/blindsided by the love rumors isn't how you would expect the girl who kissed Fuutarou to react. ESPECIALLY for Yotsuba, World's Most Straightforward Person.

All signs are now pointing to Itsuki being the bride. First girl Fuutarou meets, last girl to show obvious love interest, making suspicious comments about secrets, motivation still mostly clouded to the reader.

Yeah Yotsuba is out. She never really showed romantic interest in the first place, so it makes sense that she could be removed from the competition

Yotsuba trying to lie about hating Fuutarou and not even being able to hold it a whole page was :allears:.

Also Smug Nino at the start continues to be fantastic.


Also-also: 72 chapters in, and the MC has finally expressed awareness of an interest in girls! :allears:

Also-also-also people in the mangadex comments seemed to think that the mangaka was thinking of ending this in the next volume or two? I haven't seen the interview myself, but I kinda hope this goes on longer than that. It'd feel kinda weird to me if their time as second years was twice as many volumes as the second half.

Yotsuba's definitely aware of how at least Miku and Ichika feel, and probably Nino too, so she was probably flustered because she didn't consider the possibility of herself getting together with him.

She looks so heartbroken when say tells her classmates that she and Fuutarou definitely are and will not a thing. :smith:

It's so weird how they're pushing this "his grades are dropping because he's busy tutoring" thing so hard. I mean, teaching someone else is one of the best ways to reinforce your own understanding of the material. "If you can't explain it, you don't understand it." And they're in the same grade as him so it's not like they'd be going over different material. He's basically studying with them all the time.

It might be that he's so bogged down reviewing stuff with the girls that to him is really basic that he doesn't have the time to look at the more advanced stuff that would get him perfect grades? He'll probably get a shonen powerup or something that'll put him out on top eventually :v:

Talking to someone in the bathroom like that seems seriously weird.


I'm amused that at first he appears like he might have been a rival, but at this point I think he's more likely to be part of the harem.

Sparklelord was checking out Fuutarou's junk last chapter too.

Maybe that's why the dad wants him to be their tutor. Yeah? *wink*

to add more fire to the harem ending theory, does anyone else think the anime ED subtly foreshadows it through the visual metaphor of them passing the red ribbon amongst each other at the beginning?

There never were quintuplets. They’re a manifestation of the various aspects of Fuutarou’s shattered psyche.

Everyone's power levels are going off the chart lately. Is this preparation for the mythical harem ending?!

Either way, I think he knows it's Ichika, not Miku.

e: Definitely. Yotsuba told him about Ichika's movie, not Miku. I think his reaction was because he knows it's Ichika, and she very definitively said she has a thing for him.

Part of me is very certain that the one who kissed Fuutarou at the end of the inn arc was Yotsuba, after her talk with Ichika, because I don't think Miku would do so even while disguised, Nino was trying a completely different tactic, and Itsuki still doesn't have a clear 'thing' for him, let alone at that point.

But Yotsuba was the first to co-operate!

That said, Nino and Ichika are both looking like the fun options now.
