I think this might be the actual first time that I'm conflicted on who the hell should eventually win in the end. Each and every one has an actual personality suited to them.
At first I didn’t care much, but I were leaning towards Miku.
Then I was 100% in the Nino gang after her beautiful trope destroyer chapter.
Then Nino became stale and I stopped carring and went back to Miku, which is currently the best girl.
However, when it comes to attractivenes Nino wins by far since the chapter one. Spicy tsunderes are the hottest. Too bad they don’t exist in reality. Thank you, George Lucas!
I've just thought maybe the author mentioned something since I think the story is reaching its climax and there has been news about the anime.
The quintuplets have already started confessing their feeling to the MC and we also can guess who is the childhood friend. Additionally, I think we could say that the childhood friend was the one who kissed him and she will probably get married to him.
Although it is true that the main line of the story hasn't advanced too far, there may be a time skip or something like that.
In my opinion, I like this manga but I wouldn't like this lasts longer than necessary. Until now, it has a good pace for my taste.
@Siquall For some reason, Im sensing a Nisekoi ending from this. Author will slowly kill all the heroine and only let the "main girl" and the childhood girl fight at the end.
5Toubun won "best shounen manga" besides "Fumetsu no Anata e" during Kodansha's 43rd Manga Awards, soooo we can actually change this to "award-winning" now~
@Nakanowatari 2 problems here: it's heavily hinted at that all of 'em are his childhood friends (tho not confirmed yet) & there is no first girl / main girl for the author, which was stated in an interview. Itsuki being introduced first was the fault of the editor because he thought that it's easier for the audience to get into the story this way - Negi wanted to introduce all 5 at the same time. Nisekoi style won't really work out.
- I also feel personally offended by the fact that anyone would compare this manga to that pile of garbage tbh. (°-°,)
