The Quintessential Quintuplets volume 10 - Negi Haruba

 With the school trip to Kyoto approaching, more of the quintuplets have proclaimed their intrest in Futaro.

But how will Nino, Miku and Ichika compete for his attention?

 

Miku is still trying to learn how to create good bread for the shop she works, as the girls are faced with a problem: for the school trip, the maximum group size is five, so Yotsuba volunteers to stand aside and go with another group as all the girls want Futaro in their group, yet don't want to seperate from each other either.  But they end up in agroup with the five of them as Futaro had already formed a group with the guys from class.

During a shopping trip to get supplies for the journey, he tells Yotsuba about Rena, only to run into her moments later.  He tells her he knows she is one of the quintuplets, using their mother's name, but he can`t tell which one she is.  At the schooltrip, the girls split into two groups hoping to run into Futaro and get a moment alone with him.  But Ichika, disguised as Miku, runs into her sister and Yotsuba.  When Futaro arrives, Miku runs away crying, Ichika confessing she wanted that result so her sister couldn't tell she liked Futaro.

As they look for her, Futaro tells Yotsuba he already knew that Miku had feelings for him.  Ichika disguises herself again as Miku, but Futaro sees right through her, telling her he can't believe a word she says for the moment with her deceivement.  But Ichika redeems herself, as they all will attend different excursions, and she knows which one Futaro planned on taking.  So she arranges that Miku goes to the movie studios while she takes a trip to historical sites.

This allows Miku to spend some time alone with Futaro and telling him she loves him, which he confirms he knew.  But she was pointing at her sisters, who skipped their courses and have been guiding them in the right direction, now hiding behind Futaro.  The girls forgive each other, as Futaro meets up again with rena (a disguised Itsuki) to hand her a picture album of the trip.  This is his birthday gift to them so they have cherished memories.  Itsuki tells the real "Rena" from all those years ago that perhaps she should confess to him it was her, but... Yotsuba refuses, thinking it is better this way.

And so we come near the end of the second season of the anime as well, with still four volumes to go, so that is certain to have lots of additional material to discover, not seen in the movie.
