I finally got around to reading this manga. I had been spoiled about the winner years ago so I knew what to expect, but it was still a very good read thanks to how great the girls were.

I finally understand why the series was such a phenomenon now. I'm planning on watching the specials next.

Miku is best girl by the way and she should have won.

Post your favorite Quints or just discuss the series.

You now remember she focused her efforts on something F didn't appreciate and was instantly rejected.

I always loved Miku and Yotsuba anyways so I would have been happy with either of them. Ichika and Nino just wanted a version of the MC that he wasn't ever going to be which is partly why they lost. Ultimately it's a really well drawn and well paced series that got undone by the author wanting to keep his Yotsuba pick too secret and as a result gave fans of other girls too much ammo to call bullshit.

If Yotsuba had been as proactive as Nino then people wouldn't be able to call it an asspull choice. Which they use to make the entire manga seem superfluous

Miku had like no personality other than to be moe and in love with the MC. She fell for him in the second chapter.
>>280395469
He humored her at points and gave her no reason to think it wouldn't work. He should have been more straightforward on him not returning her feelings. I can't blame Miku for thinking the way into his heart was through his mom.

Ichika had to be sacrificed because she otherwise would’ve been a better fit for Fuutaro based on the presumed qualities that attracted him to her

You mean cooking/baking? Yeah, I don't really get why she hyperfocused on this when the dude doesn't even have taste buds. But at least it allowed her to discover her passion and she's amusingly stuck with Nino who was the other favorite on /a/ as far as I know.

People read toubun and think the extremely career focused quint was a better fit.
F wanted a family, to go back home and meet his wife and kids waiting for him.

I think this is why Quintuplets gets a bad rap sometimes. Because it presented itself like a normal harem where every girl had an equal opportunity to win Fuutaro's heart using her own individual personality and charms. But the author was always pretty clearly using the storyline of Fuutaro looking for the specific little girl regardless of who they grew up into as his main plot. So the message of the story gets sort of confused. Like, Ichika and Miku and Nino all warm up to Fuutaro assuming that they can win his heart knowing they weren't the little girl while Yotsuba just watches over him hoping he'll figure it out. Ultimately negating the very notion of a harem

Actually read his swings chapter with Yotsuba for once. He's dense as a brick but he falls for her right there.

Is there even a single male romance story where the MC at least has an extra mistress on the side and isn't a complete cuck?

They actually did have an equal chance, they were so equal that Fuutarou actually wanted to reject everyone to avoid hurting their relationship with each other before Ichika pushed him to break the status quo.

That was superficially. The reality is that Fuutaro would only ever choose the little girl from the swings. It was always her or nobody

Not really. Fuutarou had already had special feelings for someone at the end of Chapter 68. From our perspective, they had equal chances because we didn't yet know who the person Fuutarou had special feelings for was. But Fuutarou knew exactly who he would choose.

Even this is debatable cause last minute Maeda, Takeda had to give him the push and the whole thing felt like he realized the asspull that it has to be Yots cause she gave herself away = recognized her first. Then he can't recognize her during the wedding. Classic.

No, but I also hate the way Nisekoi did it. If it's random mooks for the losers, then why don't you make a design at least even if the characters came as an afterthought to fill the BF quota for the rest? The way Onodera's hubby got handled is no better than the faceless Tawawa partners.

It's an obscured wedding picture. Only Onodera is seen there. Miyanagi is the family name. That's all there is to it. Her daughter is Miyanagi Sasa. Basically Onodera 2.0 with fluffier hair. Unfortunately, Raku's and Chitoge's son is a twink.

Is it possible to make spin offs with losers and have it be good? Like in nisekoi, Marika literally went to meet Y-san in the epilogue. Shit was cash. I remember Ichigo 100% had a one shot surrounding the main black hair loser but her relationship with that guy in it didn't go too far because he was too much like the original MC or something. I think the novelty of Onodera actually producing kids later in life despite being a harem loser was something I didnt see much before

I'm sure it'd be possible, but I'm not sure if any author would bother unless they really loved the character(s) and the series to a ridiculous extent. Most would rather just write the winner; have the other girls hook up with randos or stay single, and move on to a new series.

More like the boring combination of Raku and Chitoge. Actually looks like Chitoge with short hair, but boy. But damn somehow the name 'Haku' is the worst part. Raku, Haku.
