The Quintessential Quintuplets (2018)

[五等分の花嫁]

Volume 5

Author/Artist: Negi Haruba
Publisher: Shounen Magazine Comics

Synopsis:
Fuutarou is hospitalized after the field trip and the quints come to visit him.

Story/Characters:
The hospital episode is nice for showing the girls' different approaches to visiting poor Fuutarou. We also get a flashback to five years ago in Kyoto, which makes for a bookend with the cliffhanger at the end. Yotsuba is usually out of focus, so if you're a fan of her, you'll like her date with Fuutarou. Next we get a babysitting chapter with the daughter of Ichika's manager as a breather before the next big arc. We get a big fight between two of the girls and we're going to be dealing with that for a while.

Art:
You already know what I'm going to say about the art in general. I do particularly like the cover for Chapter 35 with the girls in a circle doing each other's hair.

Other:
Our one-page bonus comic this time explores how the quints handle gaming.

Conclusion:
Most of the chapters are self-contained in this volume, which is fine if you don't mind more episodic storytelling. If you do like the arcs more, we kick off the next one by the end with a good cliffhanger. As always, get this for your collection.
