The Quintessential Quintuplets season 2

 The second season of this romcom slice of life series, and one I really enjoyed, is finally upon us.

And it goes all further where we left off, with Futaro in hospital after his illness during skycamp.

 

He also is treated to the best room and doctors, thanks to the siblings father (and who seems to be the head doctor at the hospital indeed), as Futaro starts connecting dots and it is more and more hinted that his childhood crush from 5 years ago was indeed one of the quintuplets.  But he has no idea which one though, and they can`t seem to remember the events that transpired.

 

When the siblings get in a fight amongst each other, both Nino and Itsuki move out.  While the former takes residence in a fancy hotel, Itsuki moves in... with Futaro. 

 

 

Furing a stay in the park, he meets the girl of five years ago, introducing herself as Rena.  However, it seems this is one of the quintuplets if you take the hints, my money being on... Yotsuba, as she was in the park as well.  After "Rena" says farewell for good, Futaro goes to great lengths in reuniting the siblings and teach them to their exams.  he quits the job as they walk in... and they still manage to flunk.  But they want him as a tutor again, and even rent their own appartment instead, so he can start a new effort of them actually getting decent grades.

During a day at the amusement park, he learns that in order for them to grow, he needs the sisters to teach each other as well in the fields they excel, resulting in each and every one of them, even Yotsuba who was the reason they transferred of their previous school, manage to finally get passing grades!

Never the less, contrary to their gather's wishes, they decide to stay at their current place.  They feel it makes them grow as persons and siblings, and Futaro is part of that progress.  Nino falls heavily for him, and confesses her feelings, putting her at odds with Miku, and unbeknownst, Ichika.

During a trip to a hot spring ran by the siblings grandfather, Futaro vows for himself to learn the small things about them, in order to keep them easily apart.  Later during a school trip, it is revealed the girl in the picture is indeed Yotsuba (ha, I guessed correctly!), but the sisters fall out heavily with each other.  But they reconcile when they decide to give Miku the chance for a day with Futaro, allowing her to confess her feelings.

It is also revealed at the end that the sister he marries is the one that rushed, and kissed, him at the last moments at the spa, under the bell of vows.  But as they where all dressed up as Itsuki, we still haven`t learned her identity.

Maybe next year's movie will shed some more light?

A fun and amusing season once again, and this is rapidly becoming one of my "guilty pleasure" anime's, totally out of my regular alley yet I love watching it.

Yeah, I guess I'll search for the quintuplets as figures as well in the near future hehehe...
