Synopsis:
As Uesugi recovers from his cold after the school camp, he recalls the girl he met in Kyoto years ago, unaware that one of the quints was that girl.

Impressions:
I enjoyed the first season quite a bit, to the point where I promptly went out to collect the original manga. I was under the impression they were going to push through to the end of the story, but with a 12-episode season, that wasn't going to happen. We get through the Sisters War Arc, which is a strong place to end it. For those who aren't manga readers, there are some shenanigans with the characters that may not go over so well with everyone. On the other hand, there's also some character development that really impresses. I think most viewers will be more satisfied than not. I wouldn't quite say it's a must-have, but it's definitely worth a watch.
