The Quintessential Quintuplets is five times the charm with Ichika, Nino, Miku, Yotsuba, and Itsuki, the Nakano quintuplets, trying to improve their poor grades in school with the aid of their private tutor, Futaro Uesugi, an exceptionally academic gifted lad, to help them get over their struggles in academics.
The Quintessential Quintuplets used to be produced by Tezuka Productions but was later on handed over to the young animation company, Bibury Animation Studios, for the second season. It is based on the Japanese shōnen manga of the same name written and illustrated by Negi Haruba and published in the Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine and released in English under Kodansha USA.
While the manga series recently ended in February 2020, The Quintessential Quintuplets ∬ (two signifying that the season is in its second season) has slated 12 episodes for this season and it will feature the quintuplets, their relationship with Futaro, their quirks, and their personalities into a deeper appreciation.
The series has been hinting for so long that Futaro is marrying a Nakano quintuplet. Futaro has been holding on to a photo of a girl he met in Kyoto. She has been his inspiration to study ever since. It was later revealed that the girl in the photo is one of the Nakano sisters.
To date, the anime series hasn't revealed yet who the bride of Futaro will be. With five girls vying for him, the choice is made even harder given that while they sport various different styles and outfits, their faces look so similar that they could easily be confused with each other. Who do you think will marry Futaro?
