During the special event of the “ Gotoubun no Hanayome ( The
Quintessential Quintuplets )” franchise, the production of a new
original anime to be titled “ Gotoubun no Hanayome * ” was
officially announced. According to the statement and confirming the previous
leak, this new project will have an original story written and supervised
by Negi Haruba , author of the original manga, and will
tell the honeymoon trip between Futaro and the quintuplets.
Additionally, it was also announced that the
franchise will feature a new original light novel , for which Negi
Haruba is credited with the concept, but Hajime Asano ( Mayo
Chiki!, Lapis Re:LiGHTs ) is in charge of writing it. According to the
statement, this novel will focus on the quintuplets' daily lives that
were not seen in the original manga. However, it is not explained
where in the story this new plot will be located.
On the other hand, Negi Haruba published
the manga in Kodansha 's Weekly
Shonen Magazine between August 2017 and February 2020, with a total of
fourteen compiled volumes. The work inspired a twelve-episode anime adaptation
produced by Tezuka Productions and released in Winter-2019
(January-March) , followed by a second season in Winter-2021
(January-March) and a film in May 2022, both produced by Bibury
Animation Studios and with which the main story ended.
Later, in September 2023, SHAFT studios
produced an anime project that adapted parts of the original manga that had
been omitted in previous projects. This production attracted attention for
offering a completely different drawing and animation style than previously
seen, exceeding fans' expectations.
Synopsis of Gotoubun no Hanayome
Fuutarou Uesugi is an excellent high school
student, but he leads a difficult life. His distant personality and reclusive
nature have left him friendless, and his father is in debt, forcing his family
to fight to survive. One day during lunch break, Uesugi argues with a transfer
student who has claimed “his seat” from her, causing both of them to dislike
each other. That same day, he is presented with a golden opportunity to pay off
his family's debt: a private tutoring job for the daughter of a wealthy family,
with a salary five times the market rate. He accepts the proposal, but is
horrified to discover that the client, Itsuki Nakano, is the girl he confronted
earlier!
After unsuccessfully trying to get Itsuki's
approval, Uesugi discovers that his problems don't end there: Itsuki is
actually a quintuplet, so in addition to her, he must also tutor her sisters:
Miku, Yotsuba, Nino, and Ichika. —That, despite the very real threat of
failing, they don't want anything to do with a tutor. However, his family's
livelihood is at stake, so Uesugi presses on, steadfast in his determination to
rid the sisters of their hatred of studying and successfully lead them to
graduation.
