I don't get, outside waifudom, why to support Ichika. In the sense of the story, sure she was an appealing heroine in being unconventional by being crafty and doing things you don't see from a harem often. But it was painfully obvious, when it was mentioned that Yotsuba said that Ichika stole a "newfound friend" when they were younger, and with Ichika's development, this was all going to happen. No, I don't see any comeback for Ichika in getting Fuutaro, especially with how he rejected her. I sense this will be another Nino where Fuutaro won't have any deep set grudge against Ichika... but just like with Nino, I don't see it happening. She only realized Fuutaro was the one she loved after she saw that picture dropped.
Anyways, I'll say at the least that I did enjoy what this chapter tried to offer for the seventh and all the context behind. I expected it to be a redemption chapter for Ichika, but it was all of the other quints together. Was pleased to see this.
