Among the sisters, each of whom has a very sharp personality, Mayu seems to have a quiet and mild personality. However, her sense of justice, responsibility, and obsessions are very strong, and her personality can sometimes get in the way of things... Let's introduce Mayu, who is more formidable than she looks.

 

Although there was a fuss, Mayu was obedient at first.

The two had some awkward moments with Fuutarou, such as fighting over a seat in the cafeteria, but when Satsuki saw Fuutarou's test paper and found out he got a perfect score, she was not good at studying, so she took the opportunity of sharing a table with him to sincerely ask him to help her study.

When May asks him to help her study, Fuutarou says "Thank you for the meal" and leaves his seat. Satsuki tried to stop Fuutarou, saying "That's not enough," because he was eating so quickly, but Fuutarou's response was "You'll get fat," which is a taboo when it comes to women. This caused the relationship between the two to instantly cool, which would cause trouble later on.

Fuutarou wanted to somehow get along with them. But May...

Shortly after the incident at the cafeteria, Fuutarou gets a call from his sister Raiha, who tells him that he will be doing tutoring work. However, the person he is doing this to is May and her friends, who have just caused a problem. Fuutarou tries everything he can to try and get Satsuki in a good mood, but Satsuki completely ignores him. The next day at the cafeteria, Satsuki tells Fuutarou that the seats around her are full, as if to get revenge for the day before.

 

Anyway, do you eat a lot? May has a strong appetite

After fighting with Nino, May ran away from home penniless. Is she sleeping outside with no relatives? Fuutarou was worried, but May had dinner at Fuutarou's house and was even planning to have a second helping of curry. Even though Fuutarou has an income, it seems quite gutsy to ask for a second helping of curry at the poor Uesugi household.

It would be awkward if Fuutarou saw this situation.

Itsuki was happily eating curry, but since she had come in while Fuutarou was away, she had this expression when she met Fuutarou. She hid her face with a plate and said, "I'm just stopping by." Seeing this, Futaro stopped packing curry into a Tupperware container for Satsuki, who he thought was probably sleeping rough, as "there was no longer any concern."

Because she has such a strong appetite, her weight is a concern

With such a strong appetite, you'd be concerned about her weight. No matter how you look at it, she seems more like an indoor type that you'd find in a library than an outdoorsy type like Yotsuba, and Nino sometimes grabs her belly fat. During her fight with Nino, she was even called the "domestic violence meat bun ghost" (lol)

 

Is she actually an honor student? But May is made fun of

May lives a serious school life just like she looks, never being late or absent, and never forgetting anything, so much so that Futaro says, "You're the most serious of the sisters." So what is her flaw?...Futaro's answer is, "She's just stupid!" Well, I guess it's understandable why Satsuki would have that expression.

 

Itsuki is very curious but extremely scared.

Itsuki participated in a courage challenge with Nino during a school trip, but she was extremely scared. She revealed that she believed unreliable rumors she heard from classmates, and was terrified by the cheap tricks they used to pull, but she joined right from the start. I won't say exactly where, but I'm sure there were many people who wanted to be caught between the two of them.

Futaro suddenly attacks a frightened Satsuki! At that time, May...

The two were moving forward slowly, frightened, when suddenly, a disguised Futaro appeared, hanging upside down from a tree and threatening them! May screamed and cried, and ran off into the forest. Even Yotsuba was so shocked by the disguise that it must have been too much for Itsuki.

 

A real fight with Nino?! Itsuki is scary when she loses her temper!

Itsuki often gets angry in a childish way when she interacts with Fuutarou, but when she gets really angry, her eyes look scary. In this scene, Fuutarou gets angry and slaps Nino because she tears up the handwritten workbook that he made for her, but he overwhelms her with his usual polite but terrifying expression, saying "Please apologize."

She rushes out of the house, but she has nowhere to go and no money

After a fight, Nino says she's leaving the house, and the two of them run out, saying that they'll leave too. However, unlike Nino, who was fully prepared, Gotou ran out without even a wallet. And finally, she arrives at the Uesugi residence. For a while, Satsuki ends up staying at Fuutarou's house. By the way, this is the scene where Satsuki mistakes Fuutarou for Nino when he comes to wake her up in the morning.

 

Satsuki's dream is to become a school teacher!

Although she is still unable to study and is the one being taught, her dream was to become a teacher. In fact, her mother, who passed away, was a teacher, so I think she was influenced by that. The reason she usually behaves like the eldest daughter even though she is the youngest child is because she was playing the role of her mother. Nino once told her that she was still clingy about it during a fight...

By the way, who is the mother that Itsuki looks up to?

The existence of such a mother to look up to. You may imagine her as a talented teacher or as the head of the board of directors at a young age, but her biggest characteristic as a teacher was that she was "extremely beautiful" (lol). According to students at the time, she was unsociable and never smiled, but her beauty made all the boys in the school fall in love with her.

 

It's easy to forget! ? A major characteristic of Satsuki!

The other sisters have various characteristics such as ribbons, headphones, and short hair, but May is often thought to only have a small star-shaped hair clip. However, May's hair has the biggest feature! That is her super long, commonly known as ahoge! She has such a magnificent ahoge that it's a mystery how she could have gotten such ahoge.

 

Full of Satsuki! ? Fake Satsukis!

By chance, Fuutarou and Satsuki end up staying at an inn. The place is an inn run by Satsuki's grandfather, and all the sisters have disguised themselves as Satsuki because their grandfather was worried that their relationship had deteriorated after their hairstyles changed. Just then, Futaro arrives and they suddenly start playing a game of guessing who's who... but what on earth are they doing out of sight?!

What was Fuutarou doing...?

In fact, at this time, his grandfather came into the room, and Fuutarou quickly hid in the kotatsu. Then he remembered that the fake May had hurt herself the day before, when she'd said "Let's put an end to this relationship," and he was trying to figure out which fake May was the culprit. Even so, it seems like he was looking for a wound in a pretty sensitive place.

On the other hand, speaking of May disguised as Yotsuba

The incident involving Yotsuba's track and field club is still fresh in our memory. It's easy to forget that Nino, who had cut her hair, disguised herself as Yotsuba and yelled abuse at her, but things were resolved (Yotsuba herself later apologized), but it was Itsuki who disguised herself first. But her efforts were in vain, as she was instantly refuted as someone else because "her hair was the wrong length." When you think about it, what kind of teacher mistook all the sisters for Yotsuba...?

 

The youngest sister, Itsuki, is played by this person!

The voice actor for May is the popular voice actress Minase Inori! She is also a very popular voice actress who plays leading roles in various anime so no introduction is needed. Her most famous role is undoubtedly "Rem" in "Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-". She is the perfect voice actress for Satsuki's laid-back personality.

The youngest child but a reliable one? Summary of May

Motivated May

Although their first meeting was the worst, May is serious about everything and uses polite language. As she begins to tutor Fuutarou, she gradually recognizes his abilities, and becomes such a studious character that she sometimes clashes with Nino, who is reluctant to acknowledge them. Given her strong sense of justice, it will be interesting to see if she gets into trouble different from the other sisters.
