8th Place: Eba
When it comes to The Quintessential Quintuplets, the quintuplets are the most prominent, but isn't Eba the most popular female character outside of the quintuplets?
She relentlessly pursues Yotsuba, becoming an obstacle for Fuutarou!
She was the captain of the track and field club, where Yotsuba was a helper. She noticed her talent and tried to get her to join the club by forcing her to attend a training camp before exams, neglecting her studies. Futaro, who wanted to improve Yotsuba's grades, portrayed her as a nuisance. Although he later gave up on Yotsuba's participation, his enthusiasm for her never faded. He continues to maintain an almost obsessive, almost bizarre interest in her, even bringing a camera to the plays in which Yotsuba is performing, always keeping an eye on her. Many readers seem to have been captivated by her punchy personality and the slightly psychopathic expression that drives Yotsuba crazy.
7th Place: Nakano Rena
Although she appears as the name of a mysterious girl Fuutarou met in the past, the name Rena is actually derived from the quintuplets' mother, Nakano Rena. Although she has already passed away in the story, she still appears as a mysterious figure, briefly mentioned by the quintuplets and their father.
The origin of the quintuplets' beauty!!
She worked as a teacher, and her former students described her as possessing overwhelming beauty, capable of easily manipulating even the most rude male students. This story from her former student also inspired Satsuki to pursue a career as a teacher. Every word she spoke to the quintuplets became a guiding principle for their actions, making her an essential character when analyzing each of the five quintuplets.
6th Place: Uesugi Raiha
She is the younger sister of the main character, Uesugi Fuutarou. In contrast to Fuutarou's sharp eyes, she is characterized by her soft features and adorable speech and behavior. Her cuteness captivates not only Fuutarou and his father, but also the quintuplets. In contrast to Fuutarou, she has become close with the quintuplets from the start, and even acts as a mediator when there are disagreements between Fuutarou and the quintuplets. She is particularly close with Itsuki, and they have even taken a photo booth photo together.
Her role as Fuutaro's driving force and her role as Cupid!!
Fuutaro, an extreme sister complex, wants to let his sisters do what they like, which is the main reason why she became Fuutaro's tutor and took care of the quintuplets. Without her, the story might never have begun. Not only does she act as a simple sister figure, but she also sometimes serves as Cupid, mediating between the quintuplets and Fuutaro. I'm sure there are many people who have been captivated by her unique character, small and cute, yet reliable in romantic matters.
5th Place: Nakano Satsuki
She's the first of the quintuplets to appear in the story. Her first appearance was quite a shocking one, as she ordered a menu item costing over 1,000 yen at the school cafeteria. True to her impact, she's a big foodie, and every time she appears in the story, she's either stuffing her face with something or talking about food. She speaks politely and calls Fuutarou "Uesugi-kun."
Personality Formation through Mother's Death
After her mother passed away, Satsuki felt a strong desire to take her mother's place and lead the group, leading to her current serious character. Despite this serious character, her eldest sister, Ichika, seemed cornered. Partway through the story, she learns that her mother was a teacher and aspires to become one herself. Unlike the other quintuplets, she rarely shows any affection for Fuutarou, and was not considered a strong candidate for his bride. However, towards the end of the story, she struggles with her own inner conflict, wondering if she herself has feelings for him.
Cult Popularity!?
Although she isn't ultimately chosen as the bride and is a rather unremarkable character, there are many who support her for her strong personalities, such as her polite speech and her love of food, and she is a character who can be said to have quite a cult following.
4th Place: Nino Nakano
Of the quintuplets, Nino Nakano was the one who was most mad at Fuutarou. At first, she seemed to view him as an enemy who was tearing apart the bond between the quintuplets, and she used every trick in the book to get him to quit his job as tutor. The scene where she used sleeping pills to put Fuutarou to sleep and sent him home in a taxi is quite memorable.
Does she have feelings for Fuutarou from the past?!
Nino developed feelings for the past Futaro she saw in the student handbook Futaro dropped. To prevent Futaro from discovering her past, she pretended to be his relative, and deepened her relationship with Kintaro and Nino several times. Eventually, Kintaro's true identity was revealed, and she told herself she had given up on Kintaro. However, her feelings for Futaro, whom she had previously only seen as a nuisance, gradually began to grow, and she eventually became the character who developed feelings for Futaro after Miku.
An unexpected transformation?!
After realizing her feelings for Fuutarou, she approached him quite aggressively and was the first to confess her feelings to him. Her sudden change in personality left readers asking, "Where did all the hate from the first half of the series go!?" While it's unclear whether she actually falls into the tsundere category, she's often recognized as such by readers, making her a popular character.
3rd Place: Ichika Nakano
She is the eldest of the quintuplets. When Fuutarou was searching for an opportunity to apologize to Itsuki, she naturally approached him, saying, "I'll help you," which shows that she was a character who never had any negative feelings toward Fuutarou from the beginning.
The leader of the quintuplets!!
As the eldest sister, she is the leader of the quintuplets. However, even after realizing her feelings for Fuutarou, she still uses borderline unfair tactics to approach him, even though she knows that Miku and Nino also have feelings for him. She also has a rather devious side when it comes to love.
Acting and the Dark Side
She continues to work as an actress throughout the story. After realizing her feelings for Fuutarou, her acting career begins to take off, leading to her taking a leave of absence from school. At that time, she brings up the idea of quitting her job as a tutor to Fuutarou, but Fuutarou himself decides not to dismiss her, and instead the two of them end up giving one-on-one lessons. She is a very two-faced character in the story, and often acts without regard for the sake of Fuutarou, even destroying the bonds between the quintuplets. This is one of the reasons that their relationship becomes strained.
Popular with Women!!
She may seem quite selfish, but female readers seem to sympathize with her. Combined with her boyish appearance, she's a popular character with both men and women.
2nd Place: Nakano Yotsuba
She is the most active, cheerful, and energetic of the quintuplets. While she has the advantage of being physically strong, she is not good at studying, and can be said to be the character who holds the quintuplets back the most academically.
The true identity of the child she met in Kyoto!
At their previous high school, Fuutarou excelled in club activities, but his academic performance was poor, leading all quintuplets to transfer schools. She was the girl Fuutarou had been searching for and met in Kyoto. While she was happy that Fuutarou had become more studious thanks to her, she realized that she was a failure compared to him and believed that he had no right to come forward.
The first of the quintuplets to acquire a Quirk!
Among the quintuplets, she was the first to begin searching for her own identity, and there was a time when she was obsessed with the idea that she had to work hard to change. However, due to the events that led to her transferring schools mentioned earlier, she instead began to constantly think about the quintuplets as a whole. As a result, she became unable to proactively approach Fuutarou.
The unexpected main heroine!!
As the story progresses, she becomes more aware than any other of the quintuplets that her feelings for Fuutaro are stronger, and she ultimately marries him. Because she marries the protagonist, she is portrayed quite well as the main heroine, and her bright, energetic, and innocent personality make her one of the most popular characters.
1st Place: Nakano Miku
Undoubtedly, Nakano Miku is the most popular character in The Quintessential Quintuplets. She was the first person to develop feelings for Fuutarou, and when she confessed that she was embarrassed about her love for Sengoku warlords, Fuutarou told her that she should be proud of what she likes, and she later said that thanks to Fuutarou, she was able to love herself even more.
She has a quiet personality!!
Of the quintuplets, Miku is the one who least expresses her emotions. Despite being the first to develop feelings for Fuutarou, she was unable to actively approach him, leaving many readers frustrated. While Fuutarou is ultimately taken by Yotsuba, she decides to attend culinary school to further hone her cooking skills, which she had begun to use as an opportunity to impress him. The identity she gained from her time with Fuutarou fuels her character's continued advancement.
An Unexpected Defeat
Having long held feelings for Fuutarou, many fans probably screamed, "What?! Is that really okay, Miku?!" when he was taken away by Yotsuba. Perhaps her quiet, cute, and unhappy nature is the reason for her enduring popularity!
