A leak on networks
assured that the “ Gotoubun no Hanayome ( The
Quintessential Quintuplets )” franchise will have a new
anime project that will have a completely original story supervised
by Negi Haruba , author of the franchise.
Although the leak does not reveal additional details, it
does indicate that the story will tell the honeymoon of Futaro Uesugi and the
protagonists, something that was not seen within the original manga .
Regarding the premiere and production details, they will be revealed at a later
date, perhaps on the quintuplets' birthday on May 5.
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.
