If you’re a fan of harem anime, you’ve probably heard of The Quintessential Quintuplets. This show, which started back in 2019, is one of the most well-known anime in the harem genre. It’s about Fuutaro, a tutor who ends up being the love interest of five sisters, the Nakano quintuplets. The story grabbed the attention of many fans because it was about both family and romance.
The anime went on to have a sequel in 2021 and even a movie in 2022. The movie finally answered the big question everyone had: which of the five sisters would Fuutaro choose? (Spoilers ahead!) In the end, Fuutaro remembered Yotsuba as the girl he loved from his childhood. The two of them got together and eventually married, which seemed like a satisfying conclusion for most viewers.
But just when everyone thought the story was over, the makers of The Quintessential Quintuplets announced a new TV special! This time, it’s all about Fuutaro and Yotsuba’s honeymoon – and, yes, her sisters are tagging along. Fans are divided. Some are excited to see more of their favorite characters, but many are saying the same thing: “Enough is enough.”
Fans Think It’s Too Much
Many viewers believe that the series should’ve ended with the movie. They feel that dragging the story out any longer isn’t necessary and may even ruin the good ending it had. One fan on Reddit said, “It feels like they’re just milking the series now. The story was complete, but they’re adding more for no reason.”
Another fan jokingly added, “At this rate, we’re going to get The Quintessential Quintuplets: The Next Generation soon.”
A lot of people feel the same way. They think that since Fuutaro already picked Yotsuba, there’s no reason to keep going. One fan even commented, “If you’re going to keep acting like the harem is still a thing, then why not just give us a harem ending?”

What’s Next for the Franchise?
The new special, titled The Quintessential Quintuplets: Honeymoon Arc, will focus on Fuutaro and Yotsuba’s trip after their wedding. Bibury Animation Studios, which worked on previous seasons, is back to animate the special. It’s set to be released on September 20, 2024.
Even though some fans are tired of the franchise, there are still plenty of people who are excited to see what happens next. The Nakano sisters have a strong fanbase, and many viewers love seeing their dynamic, even if they aren’t the ones Fuutaro ended up with.
Will This Be the Last?
Only time will tell if this new TV special will be the final chapter in The Quintessential Quintuplets story. But one thing’s for sure – fans have a lot to say about it. Whether they’re excited or frustrated, people are talking about the return of this popular harem anime. Let’s just hope the creators give it the ending it truly deserves.
