That Nisekoi wedding cake meme..
It has been used so many times, and also spoiled me many times.
Hope the progress part of the manga is good.

@Azaleal me too. It’s nice that the misunderstandings / arguments are pushed aside, but this is a chapter I would expect if he went for harem ending. Or a “reject all - let’s be friends” ending.
Now he’s technically dating Yotsuba, but literally NOTHING has changed. He is rude while teaching her, they don’t talk privately, they aren’t seen messaging or calling each other at night...nothing.
If someone started reading from this chapter he wouldn’t understand anything about the fact that he already chosen someone.
At this point there are two routes: or author goes for the “semi-harem ending”, basically “date the one less jealous about the other sisters being near me”.
Or goes for the “I’ll show a wedding BUT there will be a little explanatory sequel later ending”. And that would hurt so much.

I agree that as far as the story goes, a harem/ambiguous ending kinda looks like the most logical one. Like you said in your previous comment, there should still be some internal conflict. I as well said in previous chapters that with them being sisters, they are bond to see Fuutaro and their love for him will be harder to forget. However, I'm not sure that a harem ending is the best one. With Fuutaro, it felt like Negi wanted to show that the Quints could act a little selfish when it comes to love. Everytime each of the five started to like Fuutaro, they distanced themselves from the Quints circle. Yotsuba was the first one to do so when she wanted to look different as shown in her origin story chapter. After her sisters followed her to another high school, she realized the bond with her sisters was important and took a more supporting character role for most of the story. Once Fuutaro made his decision she started to wonder if it was okay to have something/someone for herself. And it was the turn of her sisters to support her in their own way. So, I guess Yotsuba gain wisdom from the other parts to become waifu material. Itsuki even said that Yotsuba doesn't need them anymore. Then again, my analysis might be total BS.

I don't know about playing it safe, but I do feel like a harem ending is not an interesting enough plot twist. Even if the story could justify a beautiful harem ending, it's not worth it. Having a harem from the beginning to the end is uneventful imo.
Regarding the criticism, you're right. Personally I'm one of those people who thinks that the way the story was handled after Fuutaro confessed is out of character for every Quints. True Yotsuba isn't my favorite but she is a decent choice so it has nothing to do with preferences.

Negi absolutely ruined the manga with the last 2 arcs. I think he made up the winning quint as he was going along and it shows. Feels like he picked the safest option which would mean the least backlash by shippers
