The Quintessential Quintuplets volume 6 - Negi Haruba

 We ended the previous book with Futaro seeing the girl from five years ago back as he ponders in the park about what he is doing wrong.

So will she come into his life at last?

She reveals her name to him at last, Rena, and they set out to a rowing trip.  She wants to know what he has become in all those years, as he was to reinvent himself and study seriously after their first meeting.  But as sudden as she came, she is there to say her goodbye's, as she tells him they can't see each other again.

Futaro falls in the pond as she takes her leave, and goes to Nino's.  Here, he has a good talk with her, and he comes to understand how she feels towards her sisters.  He decides to adopt the Kintaro persona from the camp once again, to be able to provide closure, as she sees through his disguise.

The exams don't go well at all, and Futaro quits his tutoring job of the quintuplets, telling their father he should invest more personal time in them.  But after reading his final message to them, the girl's are adamant about getting him back, as they realise they have become smarter through his lessons.

In order to have Futaro continue to be able to tutor them, the girls rent their own house outside their father's seeming control.

So how will this fan out?  Let's see that once we begin volume 7!
