On the official site for the anime adaptation of "Gotoubun no Hanayome (The Quintessential Quintuplets)" a new promotional visual for the special "Gotoubun no Hanayome *" was revealed. The press release listed that the premiere is scheduled for September 20 in theaters in Japan (and will air on television afterwards), and lists information about the musical themes, including:
- The main cast consisting of Ayana Taketatsu, Ayane Sakura, Inori Minae, Kana Hanazawa, and Miku Itou will perform the opening theme titled "Gotoubun no Egao," as well as the closing theme titled "Memories."
As previously reported, manga author Negi Haruba was in charge of the concept of the story and overseeing all aspects of this upcoming special, which will chronicle Futaro Uesugi's honeymoon trip with the quintuplets (yes, with all of them, despite the fact that the one who won was Yotsuba Nakano).
On the other hand, Negi Haruba published the manga in Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine between August 2017 and February 2020, with a total of fourteen compilation volumes. The work inspired a twelve-episode anime adaptation produced by Tezuka Productions and released in Winter-2019 (January-March), followed by a second season in Winter-2021 and a film in May-2022, both produced by Bibury Animation Studios and with which the main story ended.
Later, in September-2023 SHAFT studios produced an anime project that adapted parts of the original manga that had been omitted in the previous projects. This production drew attention for offering a completely different style of drawing and animation from what was seen before, exceeding the expectations of fans.
Synopsis of Gotoubun no Hanayome
Fuutarou Uesugi is an excellent high school student, but he leads a difficult life. His aloof personality and lonely nature have left him friendless, and his father is in debt, forcing his family to struggle to survive. One day, during their lunch break, Uesugi argues with a transfer student who has claimed "her seat", causing them both to dislike each other. That same day, he is presented with a golden opportunity to pay off his family's debt: a private tutoring job for the daughter of a wealthy family, with a salary five times higher than the market price. He accepts the proposal, but is horrified to discover that the client, Itsuki Nakano, is the girl he faced earlier!
After trying unsuccessfully to get Itsuki's approval, Uesugi discovers that his problems don't end there: Itsuki is actually a quintuplet, so in addition to her, he must also tutor her sisters: Miku, Yotsuba, Nino, and Ichika. "That, despite the very real threat of failing, they want nothing to do with a tutor. However, her family's livelihood is at stake, so Uesugi forges ahead, steadfast in her determination to rid the sisters of their hatred for studying and successfully lead them to graduation.
