Note: This review was originally part of a Lightning Round post.
I dare the other girls in The Quintessential Quintuplets to compete for Best Girl. Miku is seriously killing it in every scene she’s in. It is especially great seeing her stick by Fuutarou while still being a little hesitant to admit she likes him.
As for Nino, I must admit that a lot of my enjoyment with this series gets sapped because of her. She is just not the kind of character I generally like. I sympathize a little with her wish to keep the family together but surely, she could be less rude to Fuutarou. The guy needs to keep his sister fed damn it. That said, I actually respect the decision to have Nino remain an enemy after this episode ends. I assumed the format was going to be earning the girls’ trust one at a time so it’s reassuring to see that this goal is still not easily obtained.
Thanks for reading!
