The Quintessential Quintuplets

[pariston_hill]

Sounding all alarms! I repeat this is not a drill.

Spoiler:

Yotsuba arc is starting, and is confirmed that she is Lolinako.

That is funny.

When I think about it though, each of the quints was designed to be the stereotypes.

Ichika : Strong
Nino : Tsundere
Miku : Shy
Yotsuba : Sporty
Itsuki : Klutzy

Odds are good the one you root for is your preferred type.

But what if I root for more than on?

[Ageless_Bum]

But what if I root for more than on?

I guess you have multiple types

You could also take that a bit further and say that each represents more than just the base I said before

Ichika : Strong wanting to be able to be weak
Nino : Tsundere (cold wanting to be warm and compasionate)
Miku : Shy wanting to be bold
Yotsuba : Sporty wanting to be smart
Itsuki : Klutzy wanting to be competent

Man...this chapter...

[Seafarer33]

New one ? Link ?

[pariston_hill]

I'll wait for the /a/translations to post a link, but you should listen this tune as background music:

Like I said, the torture never stops

[Seafarer33]

Haha right, the music was definitely appropriate.

It's nice to re-read this after chapter 89.

Our resident oharan librarian takes a guess at the brides identity.

[Seafarer33]

I like where this is headed.

Also, I had not fully realized before reading the above, but the change of focus to Fuutarou's side in the second half of the series is a welcome shift that will hopefully prevent the harem thing from going in circles.

[Ageless_Bum]

I know we all have our favorites, but I question if you remove bias and look at the story completely logically, who do you think will be the bride? Use any logic that you want, but I would like to hear the theories that all of you have.

[pariston_hill]

I’m good with 234 winning. From a story point 4’s victory comes full circle with the story but at this point sounds more like pitty points. 2 winning would be fitting given that she was the one with most growth, and by recent chapters I would say 3 is giving her a run for the money on that two.

I see 5 as more as friend to Fuuts than anything, and I don’t approve the underhand tactics that 1 used to overcome her own fears to confess.

Itsuki, Shield Heroine on guard.

[Seafarer33]

Damn Itsuki, she's a cunning one. Goes on at length about preserving peace, but she looks in denial and pursues even more agressively than her sisters.

To answer Ageless_Bum above :
- At this point the only quint whom I would feel safe ruling out as the bride is Itchika because she has her own thing going - acting career - that she may prioritize in the near future. Plus she seems to have burnt herself after playing fake Miku at the school trip.
- Yotsuba seems out of the game for now, but there's no telling what would happen if Fuutarou ever realizes that she was Lolikano all along (he hasn't, right ? I would be surprised if that played a part though, because the "Rena" subplot seems to have closed that door - Fuutaro has let go of the past and doesn't seem to care anymore which of the quints was Lolikano). Also, eventhough she does not actively try to seduce him, simply being herself might still be a valid approach in the end so I wouldn't rule her out yet.
- Miku has a lot going for her after the onsen trip, (and I really want the analysis Pariston linked earlier to turn true), yet I fear she might end with Nino on the "rejected" bench. Not for a lack of qualification, but because both took an early start that make them tempting victims of future twists. On the road to exploring his feelings Fuutaro might first find out for whom he doesn't have any, and oh! Look who's here eagerly inviting an answer ?

At the end of the day, the only thing I'm really sure about is that the author will do their best to keep us in the dark until the very last chapters, so normal logic should probably not apply anyway.
