In series which fail to bring out a "main girl," the "Bokuben" style is best in my opinion. If the rest of the manga doesn't commit to a girl, the ending shouldn't rugpull every other romance.

Didn't something like this happen in goutobun too. Anyways, always disliked these kind of foreshadowing.
A harem should end as a harem. He did say he'll make "all of them happy".
Though what bugged me the most was that stupid monologue.

Not again. Why do Japanese writers like to do this? "Oh, let me introduce 5 love interests, to make the MC choose one at the end from the 5, or from outside the 5".

I know this came from the same mangaka of rent a girlfriend, a manga of wich i think, one of the shitiest romance, so the track record already bad hence i didn't expect much of this series either. I wont follow this series, nor add it to my list, maybe check on it from time if i even remember this exist.



But i am gonna say it anyway, I HOPE WITH ALL MY HEART, THAT BANRI'S GONNA WIN. i know it most likely not gonna be true, arata most likely choose one of the younger ones, so i just wanna say it. That's all.

I guess it's the future with his wife of his choice [not one of his sisters or his brother]
"Where are you guys? What have you guys been up to?" Maybe it indicates that he didn't see them in a while, so his wife being one of the sisters will be a low possibility. But what is more interesting is that he called that child [possibly his daughter] "Chihiro" which is his mom's name. He said he loves all of them too, so that tells that he didn't marry anyone of them too.

I was wrong. In the anime ep5, the voice was a mix of all the girls. So it seems like he married one of them.
Edit: but it might be another girl's voice with similar voice. I hope...

I don't have a cohesive theory for the end scene, but below is a list of subtle "clues" that could hint to what it might be:
  • On page 19, the dad mentions "The promise of Room 8." Arata responds, "We theorized it was an entrance to another world", to which the father responds, "Is that so?" I'm not exactly sure what it means, but I think that was foreshadowing something.
  • On page 21, the dad speaks to the mom's picture about Arata, saying "At that time I was drawn to him, I'm glad we chose Arata. My eyes were right, weren't they?" This must be a reference to when they adopted him. Suggests they "chose" him for a specific task.
  • In Chapter 1, Arata wonders "If there is another future where he doesn't have these five sisters". He then ponders on "fate" deciding one's life for them, such as their siblings, and their spouse.
  • In Chapter 2, they ask Banri what she remembers, since she was 4 when Kotono was adopted. She suddenly remembers something, but then refuses to share what she remembered.
  • In Chapter 3, the dad is looking at the picture of the mom. In the picture, mom is holding a baby. Baby has same hair color as Banri. Then, right at that moment, Banri enters the room. Dad says "Of course it's you, Banri."
My guess is that Banri is not actually adopted, but is the actual biological child, and Arata was chosen to be her "soulmate". My guess is that the dad explained everything to Banri when she entered his office in Chapter 3. This could explain why she's so insistent on taking him out on dates and flirting with him.

Arata was chosen to be her "soulmate"
I don't think so. The dad said ,That he was right choosing him, after Arata said that he's protecting his siblings and making everyone smile.
Banri is not actually adopted
not completely sure, because both the father and the mother have black hair. so it might be right and it's just some genes thing [both the parents have some genes that gives the another color and she inherited those genes] or she might be adopted like the father said.

insistent on taking him out on dates and flirting with him.
I guess it's true but the siblings said in some chapters [don't remember which] "She is probably teasing him and going on dates with him" referring to Banri. So it's probably much time before the announcement of their adoption. Also that is why he was kind of normal with her saying "let's go on a date" [referring to chapter 6].

You're statement is good. But we don't know how it'll proceed. we need to wait for the author.

...oh no, no no no no. Don't you dare go "5-touboun no Hanayome" route. I wish every "harem" manga would go for either the Golden route which is the true harem ending, or "Bokuben" route where every single heroine got their own ending routes.
This, so much this. If the author isn't going for one of those then they're better off just writing vanilla. imo
