On the official site for the anime adaptation of
“ Gotoubun
no Hanayome ( The Quintessential Quintuplets )” a new
promotional visual for the special “ Gotoubun no Hanayome * ”
was revealed . The press release listed that the premiere is scheduled
for September 20 in theaters in Japan (and that it will air on
television afterwards), and lists information about the musical themes, which
include:
- The
main cast consisting of Ayana Taketatsu, Ayane Sakura, Inori
Minae, Kana Hanazawa, and Miku Itou will perform the opening
theme titled “ Gotoubun no Egao ,” as well as the ending
theme titled “ Memories .”
As previously reported, manga author Negi Haruba was
in charge of the story concept and overseeing all aspects of this upcoming
special, which will chronicle Futaro Uesugi's honeymoon trip with the
quintuplets (yes, all of them, even though the one who won was Yotsuba Nakano).
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 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.
