Gotoubun no Hanayome Will Be Back With An Original Anime
A leak on social media claimed that the "Gotoubun no Hanayome (The Quintessential Quintuplets)" franchise will feature a new anime project that will feature a completely original story overseen by Negi Haruba, author of the franchise.
Although the leak does not reveal additional details, it does indicate that the story will tell the honeymoon of Futaro Uesugi and the protagonists, something that was not seen within the original manga. As for the premiere and production details, they will be revealed at a later date, perhaps on the quintuplets' birthday on May 5.
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 compilation 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 (January-March) 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 from previous projects. This production drew attention for offering a completely different style of drawing and animation than what has been seen before, exceeding fans' expectations.
Synopsis of Gotoubun no Hanayome
Fuutarou Uesugi is an excellent high school student, but he leads a difficult life. His aloof personality and lonely nature have left him friendless, and his father is in debt, forcing his family to struggle to survive. One day, during his lunch break, Uesugi argues with a transfer student who has claimed "her seat," causing them both 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 price. He accepts the proposal, but is horrified to discover that the client, Itsuki Nakano, is the girl he faced before!
After unsuccessfully trying to get Itsuki's approval, Uesugi discovers that his troubles 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. "Who, despite the very real threat of failing, want nothing to do with a tutor. However, her family's livelihood is at stake, so Uesugi keeps going, steadfast in her determination to rid the sisters of their hatred of studying and successfully leading them to graduation.
