What Happened Thus Far in the Quintessential Quintuplets
If there is one harem anime that can perfectly pull off Season 2 and get better reviews than Season 1, it is The Quintessential Quintuplets. A quick check of Season 1 would shed some light on this cute, romantic anime that has everyone begging for a Season 3. The anime opens up with Futaro Uesugi, who wakes up from a dethatch; he is on his wedding day and about to meet his bride, whose face and identity are unknown. The next day he goes to school and meets Itsuki Nakano who over his perfect test scores asks him to tutor her, to which he reacts very rudely and leaves. His little sister Raiha later informs him, his father took up a part time job for him to which he discovers that he will be teaching the quintuplet sisters; Ichika, Yotsuba, Miku, Nino and Itsuki. And just like that season one gives us glimpses of Futaro improving the girls grades at school and side by side making them fall in love with his graceful form of teaching.
While Season 1 laid down the foundation for this pentagon form of love that all point towards Futaro, Season 2 takes it a step further by adding the emotional spices where one by one, the girls get their heartbroken as they go head to head amongst each other to get Futaro.
Season 1 mainly shows us two sisters falling in love but keeping their feelings silent so as not to disturb the peace, but when Season 2 starts, the second sister Nino falls head over heels for him. In return, the three sisters get into fiery battles with each other. Futaro gets to distinguish between the five sisters as well, even when they wear the same matching clothes to confuse him, which shows his development as a teacher and friend who can love them each individually but his dark past still haunts him as he buries his secret past experience with one them years ago.
