The Quintessential Quintuplets, Vol. 8
INN TROUBLE
Having laid everything on the line with Futaro, Nino is left to wait for a response to her confession of love. Meanwhile, a surprise trip for both the Uesugis and the Nakanos to a local inn has Futaro facing tests even he can't prepare for--trying to figure out mysterious new characters, conflicts between the quints, and a new spin on the Quintuplets Game. As relationships new and old reveal themselves, the quints' increasingly overbearing father looms over all, and Futaro must come to terms with his own concerns about losing his job and relationship with the quints.

Something I appreciate about this series is while it is a harem manga and is prone to harem tropes, I feel like most of the manga is dedicated to the development of the quintuplets' relationship. Yes, they are vying for Futaro's attention and love, but they're also reflecting on their relationships with each other as well as growing as sisters. I think that's what makes this series so special; the girls in the harem aren't tearing each other down to get Sempai to notice them, they're experiencing love for the first time and evaluating that love as well as their relationships.
Another great volume, loved it.

I wanted to read the manga because I like the manga's art very much. The art is very soft, cute and beautiful. At first, I thought the manga is not very much content. However, it is fun to know that the difference of the personalities between quintuplets and their change of heart that while continuing to read that book. I think that the love comedy manga's protagonist boy is often indecisive, but the manga's protagonist boy is not so indecisive. It is the good points. I hope my favorite character to be happy in the end.

That was very eye opening with Futaro trying to figure out who was who! Lol

I was only going to give this a 2/5 at best but then the ending had to come around and kick me in the teeth with undeniable intrigue and mystery. Fine, a 3/5 then.
The majority of this volume is fairly tedious due to the returning gimmick of the sisters pretending to be one another. For much of the volume they intentionally make themselves even more identical than usual. There IS a reason, but it's flimsy and is only an excuse to make Futaro suffer. Honestly, he doesn't deserve this. It's not funny to pick on him like this and it's not his fault that he can't identify them when they're intentionally hiding their identities.
It's fairly mean and annoying and makes that whole part (most of the volume) tedious to get through. Especially because, on top of that, the girls are all cluelessly confessing to and vying for Futaro. Knowing which sister knows which sisters like him gets confusing to a point and it's a lot to keep track of between all these similar conversations.
However, despite all these annoyances the ending managed to hook me unlike any other previous scene in the manga. I need to know. Who is the bride?? I'm invested now, despite myself. I like Futaro too much to not want to know.

Art: ★★★★☆
Story: ★★★★☆
This was another excellent volume, even despite the fan service. (Like volume one, this volume features quite a few onsen scenes.) What I find exemplary about this series is that the main character, Futaro, works so hard to be worthy of his job. Although he tells himself that it’s all about securing his income, his efforts to be the best tutor possible for these sisters drives his character growth. The irony is that this growth is what drives the sisters to fall for him, though he has been oblivious to this dynamic until this volume.
This volume’s challenge was for him to be able to recognize the individual sisters despite them all being dressed identically to Itsuki. Nego Haruba, the author, delights in making this as confusing for Futaro as it is for the reader, but Futaro muddles his way through the challenge to a heartwarming conclusion.
The other aspect of this series that continues to delight is the individual personalities of the quintuplets, as well as the realistic sibling dialogue and interaction. This volume didn’t disappoint in that regard.

Things are heating up! The quints have now all declared their intentions.
What's this? The quint's father set up a trip to the same hot springs resort that Kotaro won a trip to? And father lied & claimed they also won 2 trips to the inn? Hmm... he's still cold, distant, & somewhat snobbish. But he knows more than he's letting on. He's not going to make it easy for Kotaro, though. He will have to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he (Kotaro) is worthy of the quint's love. More hints as to who's who, & now, a kiss as they ring the bell that promises a happy marriage. But who was it that kissed Kotaro? The quints aren't going to make it easy for Kotaro, either. He needs to bring out his A game & prove he is worthy. Oh how I love this series. So much fun. Serious business, too. Things are just starting to heat up. Interesting, to be sure. Art, fantastic. Cuteness overload. Dialogue, real, believable. Characters, believable, likeable, relatable, & adorable.

Avant de commencer cette lecture, je redoutais de m’ennuyer et le premier chapitre m’a donné raison. J’ai eu du mal à le lire, c’était loin d’être palpitant… enfin, peut-être que ça l’aurait été si je me souvenais de la fin du 7.
Par la suite, le récit devient plus intéressant. J’ai eu l’impression que ça se recentrait sur l’intrigue principale.
C’est le temps de la confrontation : les filles sont toutes déguisées en Itsuki, est-ce que Fûtarô va les reconnaître ?
Le pauvre, c’est loin d’être évident surtout qu’elles lui donnent du fil à retordre.
Ç’a titillé ma curiosité : comme lui, j’ai passé mon temps à chercher qui était qui et je n’ai pas réussi à les remettre.
Il y a quelques scènes prévisibles, mais elles ont l’avantage d’être superbement dessinées. J’ai pris beaucoup de plaisir à m’attarder sur les planches.
Bref, j’ai passé un excellent moment : j’ai adoré ce huitième tome.

I've been reading this series since I was shown the anime. So if you liked the anime, there's so much more to unveil in the manga. I like the way the manga progresses and solves some of my questions and raises even bigger ones shortly after. There is rarely a dull moment; it is full of funny moments, intimate scenes, and not knowing what comes next is exciting. I look forward to the next book in the series once it comes out so I can read it also. It seems that each book has sections in it subtly hinting at which sister likes their tutor and which is going to tell him that first. Overall its a great series and I cannot wait until the next book comes out in July, as well as the second anime season in October this year.

I don’t like Ichika. She’s constantly trying to sabotage her own flesh and blood just because she also has a crush on Futaro that she can’t act on. Even though Miku also has a crush on Futaro and she doesn’t want to confess, she doesn’t resort to sabotage. The fact that the quintuplets have to mask their true selves in front of their grandpa is pretty sad, but also so is the fact that he’s dying—in a rare emotional moment in this series. Both the women and men have hot spring scenes, though only the girls have fan service scenes. This manga is definitely catered to the male gaze. I still enjoy it, but I do find that annoying.
Also Raiha’s bed head shows that her monstrosity of an ahoge isn’t natural.

4.5 stars
I AM SCREAMING AT THE ENDING OF THIS VOLUME!!! OMFG. WHO WAS IT??? I loved this volume so so much - it's my highest rated so far! I thought the concept of them looking alike for their grandfather was super cute and makes me really curious about certain incidents (hehe). I truly love the twins more and more with each chapter and each volume I read. I also got a little bit emotional reading that last chapter... anyway, so so excited to read volume nine!

Initially, I really liked this series! As it continues, however, I beginning to get bored.
It was obvious that tensions would arise as more of the sisters fall in love with the same person, but miscommunication is my least favorite trope. (Is it considered miscommunication if they just don't communicate, like, at all?)
Anyways, the art was lovely and I will finish the series, hoping for a happy ending.

Bu ciltte epey bir okuyucuyu ters köşeye düşürme girişimi var. Hepsine olmasa da düştüğüm oldu. Bir önceki ciltte de hissettiğim gelişim burada da mevcut. Beşizlerin Futaro ile olduğu kadar kendi aralarındaki ilişki de gelişiyor. Bu cilt biraz daha Nino odaklı olur sanmıştım ama ilk kısımdan sonra karakteri pek göremedik. İçika'nın arada kalmışlığının sonunda bitmesi güzel oldu. Abla rolü üstlenmekten dolayı kendini arka plana atmaya alışmışken artık kendini de düşünmeye başladı.

More of a 3.5 star rating but gave it 4 stars because of that adorable ending to the volume.
As much as I liked Futaro and the girls’ spending time together on the family vacation(s), I’m a bit upset that Futaro didn’t get to spend much, if any, time with his younger sister.

Non è che mi piaccia molto quando tutto il volume gira intorno al fatto che Futaro non riconosce le cinque gemelle quando si vestono uguali. Ormai han cominciato a . Che sì, non sembra proprio il massimo come ragazzo...

This continues to be a pretty cute series with some good character growth for all the quints and for Futaro. I'm starting to be able to tell them apart, even with them all looking the same in this volume.
November 10, 2021
Such good development, from meeting each of the quints to now. So great to see.
The love confession and the competition heating up, I'm Really ingrossed in this series
Plus that last panel was really something!

This was a step back from the 7th volume but still had some good moments. The pacing has improved quite a bit compared to the first few volumes of the series.

3,5/5. Expected to like more due to how volume 7 managed the story. The end was cool, though, still curious to find out who marries Fuutaru.

I really liked the mystery angle with this one, and it even shocked me with the twist, but sometimes it did feel a bit too confusing to follow.

Which one was it? I'm thinking Nino maybe even Ichika but... But I already know who he ends up with so... Was it actually her?
