(Unknown) Gotōbun no Hanayome*. New Anime

[Stark700]

"The Quintessential Quintuplets 5th Anniversary Event in Yokohama Arena" announced on Sunday that Negi Haruba's The Quintessential Quintuplets (Gotōbun no Hanayome) romantic comedy manga is inspiring a new anime, Gotōbun no Hanayome*. Haruba personally drafted the original story concept and is supervising all aspects of the anime, which recounts Fūtarō and the quintuplets' honeymoon trip.

Spoiler:

So basically the honeymoon with his wife and all her sisters who won't leave them alone ?

"Hello darkness, my old friend..."

I seem to remember me saying Negi won't be able to escape 5toubun's shadow down the line or something like that. It's a massive shadow after all. Even after ending it kept selling, kept outselling the romcom competetion at WSM as a finished work.

So milking it further is as natural as breathing. But this time around it's anime original material or more or less anime canon supervised by Negi. It shouldn't even be called "bait" or whatever. The main couple is all set and done. It won't be a harem afterstory either. At best every girl will get their scene, which just going to be a background decoration for the main couple.

Look, I don't give a damn about the main couple. Developing them after the choice was poor taste and even said development is questionable. But at the very least there is still one big elephant in the room the wife refused to talk about openly. If anything, this anime canon story should salvage that. It's not necessarily a honeymoon hijack too, as the wife was completely okay with the rest tagging along. But the tale was not told in the manga, only them preparing and showing them on an airplane. It's Hawaii, unless the anime does something differently. Better find some lava rocks...

Negi should just make it canon that Futarou took all the sisters as his concubines.

I would be shocked if there aren't any moments in the honeymoon where the other sisters get one-on-one time with him and flirt with him despite the fact that he only married one of them.

Ending wasn't enough to actually end this series . In some ways this is the kind of thing I fear with series I like. Just perpetual milking beyond any reason to keep the story going.

If they wanted to tell another story with the main couple I wouldn't actually say that's a bad move. But leave the harem behind in that case. In some ways it is just downright sad for the other girls. Just have them take the loss and move with their lives. Hanging around for their sister's honeymoon is just bizarre.

In the end, money talks. And they probably can get away with milking this thing even more before the most hardcore fans start getting annoyed.

Ooff, when the anime industry is thirsting for anything to animate and they realize they can still milk you before you dry out. As Xenoblade 2 said, there is no need for an eternity.
Now I'm worried about Shakugan no Shana... They won't touch Zero no Tsukaima, but man, *shiver*

Also, Doyakonga

He seriously lacks sex drive. That one story that got released 2 years ago makes the bride misunderstand an implication, and due to that she pretty much confirmed they didn't do it as she thinks it's too early for them. They are like dating for 4 years or so on paper, moved in together, but it's too early. Okay.

The manga dedicates chapters for the girls to move on gracefully, silently, or loudly and they more or less did move on. Bizarre honeymoon trolling aside, the wedding is still more or less okay. But that freaking story 2 years ago invented flashbacks that happened post-wedding and for some reason all of the losing girls had to still thirst for Fuutarou as if said dedicated chapters didn't happen. It was such a sad sight to see. It's not even character regression, but OOC behavior contradicting said chapters for the sake of harem baiting.

Some authors are petty in this regard and refuse to hand their heroines to nameless strangers off-screen. And there is Komi Naoshi, who while didn't have a new serialization after Nisekoi, only oneshots, but made plenty of his side heroines marry and got kids with nameless, faceless characters.

[Lex79]

I once read a series where a guy married his favorite idol and was hesitant having sex because he wanted her to stay pure, so nothing really surprise me anymore in that regard.

I'm assuming Negi and/or his editor are scared of changing the formula that brought them money so the sisters will always be around Foutarou and won't be shown having a new love interest. There is the potential for spin offs and what if stories but given that from what I heard even the VN didn't give the other girls a proper happy ending I wonder if Negi simply us adamant that there is only one pairing for Foutarou.

[WingedAccelerator]

The VN or the games gave kisses and there were hookups if I remember correctly, but it drew the line with wedding dresses. No weddings in-game, but the girls tried on the dresses, giving obvious implications that wedding should be a future step for the couples.

So despite routes and whatnot, the canon wedding couldn't be threathened with a non-canon wedding in the games. At least that's how I remember these things. I could be wrong.

A spin-off manga taking place in the present timeline post-wedding, even without any sort of romance could be fun, but Negi shouldn't supervise it in my opinion. It feels like WSM/Kodansha constantly tests the staying power of the work, yet not attempted to do anything within the universe. Once Naito Marcey finishes Amagami-san, they should really persuade him to do some adult spin-off for the quints. He was once Negi's assistant and some of his designs are reminiscient of the quints in my opinion.

Laws make it so he can only marry 1. Doesn’t mean he can’t still be lovers with the others lol. The sisters need to stay together

I wish they'd port over the VN's over to the West and officially translate them...

Ib am actually one of the minority people who was perfectly fine with ending (I would like any ending bersides harte/none or Itsuki winning). But I think it ended good and anything beyond will only make things worse. So hard pass for me.
