Fuyuki_Hashime said: Can anyone tell me who is "Fake Itsuki"???? Just search it up on google or something if you want to spoil yourself. Although I'm fairly positive its Ichika unless Itsuki was lying and it was her the whole time. Miku - too shy Yotsuba - too hyper Nino - too inlove Ichika - ✔️ |

| Nino Gang rise up yesss sirrrr Finally we're able to see Nino turning into best girl. Best episode.  *Illustration by Katsumata Masato, character designer and animation chief* |
 |
| Alright, I think this was my favorite episode in the whole series. I loved this so much and there was lots of progression with Nino. Seeing both families in the same area was really nice and entertaining too . The visuals for the motorcycle scene was amazing too and in fact, this whole season has been really good when it comes to visual look. To top it off, The Itsuki and Nino fanservice was nice too. 5/5 |
 |
| Damn! I... did not expect Nino to be THAT straightforward to confess! And she even insists lol That's a freakin' bomb against Miku and Ichika btw xD Specially Ichika :P A fake Itsuki? Whoever she may be, she is using a dirty yet witty move to attack Fuutarou like that :O |
THANKS SENPIEX  |
| Really good episode...I've always loved this arc. The art looked pretty good in this episode too. I've always been a Miku supporter since S1 and reading the whole manga. Yet lately I've started to appreciate Nino more. One thing remains tho, I still hate Ichika ( Also, holy shit, Itsuki took her clothes off and suddenly lookin thicc like S1...guess it was the clothes the whole time, not the new studio that nerfed her. Gotta say, this ain't an ecchi show, but damn I enjoyed it |
Is Blue Box my favorite manga? Not yet...Yes. Yes it is.  |
| Fake Itsuki is Miku, right? She did a great job impersonating Itsuki but you could still hear Miku. Or at least I'm 99% sure it's her. Now, Miku is my best girl but damn, I'd be lying if I didn't say Nino is making it hard. I love how straightforward she is, just when it seemed like it would be the usual thing where the MC didn't hear the confession, she comes back and says it again.... YES! And then that scene in the hot springs..... YES! YES! YES! I'm loving Nino so much <3. |
| honestly bro, if you'd told me a year ago that out of the 5, Nino would be the first to confess and actually be in the lead, i would have asked you wtf you were tripping on and if you were also the type of person to pour your milk in first before the cereal. Really did not expect Nino to come through like this, making the whiplash that much stronger when it happened. I admit defeat when i see it, so i accept the Nino train with open arms, she can be quite assertive and sharp, but she has her cute side and the courage to confess to Uesugi. Big F for the rest of the girls though, especially Ichika, felt like they did her dirty after giving her some pretty nice screen time with Uesugi 1-2 episodes prior. Miku train will forever live in my heart though ;-; Someone's trying to start trouble, faking being Itsuki ( and doing a damn good job holy shit) and trying to cut ties with Uesugi, guess his family outing turned into an investigation. Fanservice this ep was quality ngl, even though it was during a semi-serious topic, they definitely did a good job in that department, cannot deny that they gave Itsuki some pretty thick assets and we even got to see Nino which, was a weird feeling of "oh she followed Uesugi in" to "OH she followed Uesugi in????" not gonna complain though. Damn ep 7 already, christ really didn't think these weeks have been flying by that quickly, really looking forward to who the fake itsuki was and what exactly their plan is. |
 "yabe." |
| She did it, she did it ! And Futaro why couldn't you recognize her in the bath... |
 |
| So Nino really confessed... TWICE, she's definitely the best girl now, I want her to win. And there is a fake Itsuki hmmm well it's almost sure that it is Ichika |
 |
| NINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! Goddamn I was worried about the bike scene but they adapted it pretty well I would say. And the scene in the kitchen where Nino confessed for the SECOND TIME was holy..!!!!!!!!! Honestly the first confession was already quite unexpected, But lo and behold.. the mad lad does it AGAIN!! seriously the second one was pure legendary and quite the deconstruction of the usual rom/com tropes. This scene is until this day my favorite in the whole series, rivaled only by other future Nino scenes and of course the upcoming Ichika roller coaster Lol I was a full blown Miku fan before reading this chapter in the manga, but after this scene (and plenty of others) Nino instantly shoot up from dead last to first place above Miku and Ichika, and then Ichika overtook Miku for the second place. Anyway, brace yourself my fellow #Ninogang, the Nino train is now running at full steam, Nino ship is firing on all cylinders, Nino submarine is launching all its missiles, it will only get better and better from now on. #NinoBestGirl  |

| Wow this episode was a well-Nino moment.... she brought back my likeness for the voice of Ayane Taketatsu.... season 1 had really make me think why would people like her character but yeah the buildup in this season brought her out. Whatever the hate or love comments there may be, but one thing is for sure... every girl’s character is starting to make sense, which I would say is a good thing for a Harem anime |
“ If there was no one else within a 5-kilometer radius from Shimamura, and she was in a deep sleep and an all-knowing deity just happened to reassure me that she wasn’t going to wake up the next 24 hours, maybe I’d get bored after 23 hours and I might kiss her once to relieve some boredom... ” |
| Holly fuck Nino getting bold i am utterly flabbergasted rn |
 |
| That was so unexpected from Nino. She really did it. Twice. I always thought that Miku will be first... Anyway I hoped I could see more of Nino's body in hot springs scene ._. |
 |
| Phenomenal episode and best fanservice out of any episode so far. Nino getting aggressive, I'm starting to like her more. Yotsuba dead last as always, she has the least chemistry. This is the best anime I have ever seen. Fuutaro is the number one HAREM MASTER. And Keima Katsuragi.      |

| Damn, I did not exepct Nino to pull a fast one. I guess, Nino fans were waiting for this moment to shine. She is already aware that Futarou does not have feelings for her but she could not hold it in any longer and made the first move. She had to confessed twice (can understand for the first time but having to go for round 2, sure has guts). Can see took a lot of courage to confess.  r -I suppose Nino says this is because she *assumes, her sisters think Futarou as a Tutor/friends". Something about her expression is kind of a turn on haha. I must say that was quite hot of Nino going to the mix bath with towel on only. Now Ichika knows about Nino confessing, I am guessing she will have to do something. |
 "Don't give up after failing just twice. We'll be able to do it next time. Failure is the stepping stone to success." |
| Nino has so much drive and personality. Her openness and assertiveness is a breath of fresh air in a manga/anime culture were everyone is so closed up about these things. When she's on screen, interesting stuff happens. |
| cute Nino and hot moment with Itsuki (and a little for Nino ^^) The quintuplets are very pretty and sexy <3 Love Miku <3 <3 |
| Finally Nino's offensive starts and we are in for a treat. I love how she didn't just ran away after she knew that Fuutaro couldn't hear her confession and confessed again, attagirl. |
 |
| Best episode so far. |
 |
| good episode yall team nino up rn ong |
| oh damn, nino is making moves! Even asking to wash mc's back :O she feels like a completely different person |
 |
| This is well animated especially that confession scene. I love how Nino is straightforward to Fuutaro now. We're at the endgame. |
 |
| Nino really confessed first to Uesugi. That was a great episode. Everyone was adorable as ever. There was a bit of fanservice as well. Fake Itsuki. Lol. I wonder who's that? |
 |
| Well damn - who'd have thought Nino would be the first sister to confess?! I was very surprised by that but it was also nice to see something unpredictable happen. Wonder what's gonna happen with Futaro & Nino's relationship now I'm a bit confused; why does Otou-san hate Futaro so much when 𝘩𝘦'𝘴 the one who hired Futaro in the first place?! Also, what is with this 'tutor us' - 'don't tutor' thing? It's happened so many times in this season already! |
 |
| That shit was quite funny Itsuki is such waifu material |
 |
| And Nino confesses to Futaro, and damn she's serious with this. Going so far as to unknowingly shun Ichika's opportunity to fess, and saying it to him upfront a couple of times. We also got to a HOT spring scene with Itsuki (nice fanservice there). Is it just me or the father of the quints is looking more like Levi now, from the hair and his dead looks, AM I HIGH OR DOES SOME FEEL THE VIBES TOO?!!! |
 |
| Another really good episode, a lot of focus on Nino and Itsuki, Nino on the full offensive and even went into the mixed bath, I gotta respect it. Nino still isn’t my favorite, but I do like her a lot more after the past arc and this episode. I can say though that Ichika has risen to my favorite, sharing the spot with Miku (can’t pick just one lol, very hard) looking forward to seeing who the fake Itsuki is, personally I think it’s Yotsuba. |
| Bazoongas everywhere. Cute tsundere-ish declaration, Nino. |
 |
| The episode I was looking forward to most in this season. I wish they did the first confession at the end of last episode but oh well. Really good episode, fast, but not rushed. And also, While Quintessential is one of the few anime that I prefer the manga, this season has been as good as the manga. Good on Bibury. |
 |
| Another reminder of why I was really liking the manga at this point in the story: the subversion of the "confession unheard" cliche was a great moment, not least because of the surprise of Nino being the first Quint to truly confess. The only downside is that the moment wasn't given a lot of time to stand out and be allowed to sink in, due to the show's desire to move onto the two family trips. This is also one of the more interesting arcs that we're now coming into, though having the character voices maintained even when characters are in disguise does make it easier to see through the illusion than it should be. I guess that's a downside of moving from the medium of manga to anime, and one we've seen evidence of this season already with. |
| I felt like the bike scene was kind of short. And it would be better if it was at the end of last episode rather than in the beginning of this. |
| I really do wish the scene was done more justice but Nino's finally getting ready to take over the anime-onlys as well. |
 |
| What an episode! Nino was the MVP this time, never expected her to have this attitude towards him, but like lmao, she expects him to answer after a few days? But that ending is a good thing, even tho we have to wait for another week. Ichika did something for sure, especially after hearing Nino's confession. Damn, this is getting so good, can't wait for the next eps! |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| A disappointing episode as a manga reader but I could see it coming since the whole season was speedrun. I'm glad most anime onlies still like it though. This is the peak of the manga for me and I'm happy to see it animated regardless. |
 |
| Miku and Ichika trying to be as polite as possible regarding the confession issue and Nino being like "respect between sisters? what's that? I said I love you." So... I guess there is an Itsuki wig somewhere because there are only two sisters with long hair now and I kinda doubt Miku was the one at the lobby. This said, guess I will go with Ichika since she has been giving me some "snake" vibes lately. Though... "Itsuki's voice" really sounded like Miku at the beginning of their encounter if I'm honest. |
| LET'S GO! THE UNSTOPPABLE NINO TRAIN HAS BEGUN MOVING. Fantastic episode! Fast pacing as usual but, it's not bad at all, the anime is still really great and I am really happy to see my favorite moment animated. Though at this rate I don't know anymore where the season will end lmao. I am really looking forward to the next episode. |
