This is just sad :( Like, really sad. Hina is just being destroyed. Like, wth!?

Lumin_ said:
Judging from the history of this manga, that's a very clear indication that a big mess is very close.

SPIDEY_rockzzzzz said:
You mean something very bad is gonna happen?

Lumin_ said:

Yeah I mean that it could be something really bad like an accident or maybe just maybe it can be possible that Hina won't be able to hold herself back anymore and if written wisely , it could lead to a series of interesting new possibilities!

Kiriya sensei told Natsuo some top notch stuff, "Never forget what she did for you". Man that hit me hard.

Lumin_ said:

But I can't think of a scenario in which everyone's happy. At least for now..

SPIDEY_rockzzzzz said:
True. Well, atleast Quintuplets didn't let me down. Still, here's to hoping for a strong ending for Hina, but one thing is for sure and that's that I'm never reading another work by Kei Sasuga.

I hope there won't be any drama coming up anymore... would be quite boring.
Make Fumiya and Hina a pair and end it on a happy note.

Lumin_ said:
Well, sorry I don't get your first sentence. Other than that I was originally a Rui fan, but the way it is going I guess my mind has already betrayed me and now wants nothing but Hina lol. And it's an irony for me to choose Sasuga's work for the first manga I've ever read.

SPIDEY_rockzzzzz said:
I meant to say that the Quintessential Quintuplets manga had a better ending in my opinion and an even better story, but the last few chapters were kinda nerfed/degraded. Also, don't let this manga be a staple for romance mangas in your perspective because there are some really good romance mangas out there that are much better. As far as favoritism goes, I never liked the first girl rule in romance mangas which is also why I don't consider Rui a good character. Granted, she has developed, but some of the side characters like Momo and Serizawa had much better development than her. I've been a fan of Hina since her introduction and following her development, my admiration for her has just strengthened even more. In the end, I just hope that Sasuga finds it in herself to give a justified ending to Hina.

Lumin_ said:
Oh, thanx for the explanation. Well, I have to say that I agree with you on that. There is really nothing left more to squeeze in this manga anymore besides a good ending for Hina too..

No kidding mate, lol. I don't particularly hate Rui myself as much as I think that she's like the least interesting female character in this entire story. An inferiority complex towards her older sibling which leads to jealously & insecurity, as well as selfishness - things you can expect in many girls her age ~ life never really hits her in this story. Those problems can be annoying and get in the way of a relationship sure, but come on now, other girls have a more interesting back-story that could've been expanded upon.

- Serizawa is someone who took acting too seriously compared to her friends who did it just4fun, which is a good thing considering her talent for it, but she has to learn to balance out her passion for acting with the ego that often comes with people who're actually talented & passionate about something, especially something that most people can't do.

- Momo had her obsession with having sex with a HUGE number of boyfriends due to her just being rather lonely and there's even the thing with the mark on her arm Natsuo saw when they were about to do it that put most other guys off knowing this girl tried to suicide.

- Even Misaki who's only had like one arc and not many appearances outside that, definitely has an interesting story to tell that could be expanded upon in more than an arc.The girl went from success to taking drugs after all.

- There's also a cabaret girl Natsuo once helps & writes a story about when he went out with Togen to gather material, I can't remember her name or the chapters but she had a great, fun personality that I would have loved to see more of.


All these options to be Hina's love rival(not even gonna go into detail about her, as she's been the spice of this story throughout most of it's run) and we instead get Rui, an average teenage/later young adult girl, with mundane issues you see everywhere that also happens to get everything handed out to her. Her coming-of-age story ain't bad, but for crying out loud Sasuga, you sure picked one of your least interesting types of characters from both DomeKano & Good Ending combined as one of your main girls.

SPIDEY_rockzzzzz said:
I heard that Sasuga likes Hina more than Rui, so even if there are many Rui fans out there than Hina, why didn't she choose to go for the girl she loved? A very powerful example of the same issue is Nanami from Sakurasou. That girl was just Awesomeness. Yet, she is still a struggling VA at the end of the day while Sorata and Mashiro have made it alot far. I hate it when the more mature, experienced, and kind women don't get the justice they deserve from their authors'. Plus, I agree 100% with you that Rui didn't go through enough problems and grow on her own like Hina, Natsuo, Serizawa, etc. did. Also, I felt the ugly duckling's arc was also a very good one. Why not work on such rich characters rather than working on an insecure, selfish, and harsh girl? What really drove the nail in the coffin was that she dumped Natsuo at his worst. Then, how is it that she gets him back at his semi-best?

Man, the whining from Hina fans just never stops huh? xD

Short_Circut said:

m8 lest not forget Hina went out with a married dude fully knowing he was married, simultaneously led on her new step bro and got together with him when things didn't end up working out with married dude. Hina is just as selfish as Rui is, hell at least Rui confronted Natsuo face to face to talk about the breakup, Hina literally just upped and left lmao. And it's hard to compare with Sakurasou, because in that case it was wayyyyyy too one sided that Nanami was the better option (the realtionship with Mashiro was just toxic all around) whereas in this case, both girls I'd say had equal moments of good and bad.


ofc you could say Hina choosing not to go after Nat after Rui breakup could classify her as selfless, but then wouldn't Rui not going after Nat (at least not seriously) while he was dating Hina and even after the break up not be classified as the same?

SPIDEY_rockzzzzz said:
You're right about Hina dating someone who is already married and even the leading on thing, but she led him on till a particular point because afterwards, it was just Natsuo and Rui doing their best to get them to break up. As far as confrontation goes, Rui didn't confront him so much so as she just annihilated Natsuo without a care for the shit he's goin through. That to me was a VERY SELFISH move and Hina, literally, had no choice because her parents were not in agreement and the school would mess up Natsuo's life. If you actually see the shit that Hina had sacrificed and done for Natsuo, you'll see why she is more of a waifu material than Rui. In case of Sakurasou, you may be right because I just felt all around bad for Nanami, but Mashiro was good as a character and as a rival in love for Nanami.

Short_Circut said:

I wouldn't really say she didn't have any consideration for what he was going through. At the time she thought it would be the best because she didn't want to be a burden to Nat. and ruin him further. Obviously she realized her fuck up later on but it's not like she was like 'lol ur depressed now goodbye loser'

As for Hina, the parents didn't find out until after she had left lol. For sure she had to go (although I guess that's also debatable) but by no means was she in a rush to gtfo. She literally spent the whole grad. ceremony telling all the students she was gonna leave. Plus she said it herself that the only reason she left without telling Natsuo was because she didn't want to see his sad face. idk about you but that sounds pretty 'selfish' if we're going to those lengths lolol. Both breakups were similar imo. Both girls broke up with Natsuo because they thought it would be better for him (Hina because she didn't want to ruin Natsuo's dream, and Rui because she didn't want to end up being a burden to Natsuo) and both girls ultimately realized they messed up later on.

To me at least, both Hina and Rui are equally selfish/selfless in their own regards. Hina is just better at keeping it to herself. Ignoring personal preferences I don't really see how one girl is more of waifu material than the other, when they've both had their good and bad moments (like lets not forget how messed up Hina was in the beginning lol)


honestly to me, Mashiro felt like a shitty love rival. Like the number of times she inadvertently fucked up Sora made me feel kinda bad for the guy, whereas Nanami who's pretty much in a similar boat knows what he's going through. Hell later in the novel they even

Nah, I don't expect it. It looks like the author is already over it and wants to end it. I don't like the Rui ship, my humble opinion, I'm not saying I hate Rui or her fans, spare me your judgement, but we've just gotta accept Rui's endgame at this point. It doesn't matter if there's drama or not, as we know the endgame - plus, do you know the outrage that would be caused in the community if Rui is not endgame? That'd be like asking for death.

Big win for #TeamRui! They're getting married. If only the mangaka ended the series here because you know what really happened. :(
