If you're
someone who keeps desperately looking for any updates on your favorite
quintuplets, be very careful where you browse. The massive popularity of Gotoubun
no Hanayome (The Quintessential Quintuplets) has caused some
malicious users to try to take advantage of the community's loyalty. Recently,
the production committee had to issue an urgent warning to protect its
followers from a rather elaborate hoax on social networks that was already
confusing thousands.
An
overly convincing deception
Through their
true channels, the team behind the anime released an official
statement clarifying a critical situation. It turns out that someone created
a fake profile on Instagram posing as the franchise's
corporate account, painstakingly copying logos, names and using images that
made it look extremely legitimate. The problem escalated to such a degree that
the creators had to be blunt with their message: there is currently no
official account for the series on Instagram.
The
community reacted with great gratitude to this clarification. Several fans
confessed on the forums that they were about to fall into the trap or that they
were even already following the account, since these fake profiles often try to
replicate even the verification badges. The real danger of these accounts is
that they are dedicated to spreading rumors, unconfirmed information, or, in
the worst case, promoting pirated merchandise through
deceptive links.

The
Price of Having a Giant Franchise
Unfortunately,
this is one of the biggest problems facing successful series in the Japanese
industry today. While there are hundreds of profiles created by true
lovers of the work who only seek to share illustrations and support the
protagonists, identity thieves operate with the sole intention of profiting
from misinformation. The production team strongly requested that
any news, animated project or merchandise advertisement be consulted solely and
exclusively through their website or their already established media.
