Ichimatsu always has his eyes half-closed and, apart from occasionally getting angry, rarely shows any changes in his facial expressions such as joy, anger, sadness, or happiness. He has no friends and is withdrawn, and his siblings worry about whether he will be able to function in society. Where have Ichimatsu's emotions gone?...In this article, we will explore the changes in Ichimatsu's facial expressions and introduce the few scenes where we can see his joy, anger, sadness, and happiness!
Ichimatsu is strict with Karamatsu
Ichimatsu, who has a relatively expressionless face, most often shows anger in his daily life. This anger is particularly noticeable when Karamatsu gets involved. It has nothing to do with the content of the conversation, and even if Karamatsu is right, he will lose his temper mercilessly when he gets involved. Perhaps there's a caste system within Ichimatsu, and Karamatsu is at the bottom... how pitiful.
Ichimatsu's precious, pure smile
Ichimatsu's innocent smile, something he never normally shows, is revealed during the scene where he passes out drunk at the izakaya! While they were there, he grabbed onto Karamatsu looking grumpy, but once he passed out and fell asleep, he had a happy smile on his face. What's more, it was strange that he was doing so on Karamatsu's back, the same one he had been grabbing onto just moments before.
Ichimatsu's gaze is so powerful it even intimidates his parents.
On the day of the interviews for the Matsuno family's dependents, each of the sextuplets desperately tried to impress their mother by promoting themselves. Meanwhile, Ichimatsu, whose behavior is unpredictable, resorts to "threats." He glares at her with a fierce gaze, threatening her that he might commit a crime. Even his mother was so shocked by his gaze that she gave in.
Ichimatsu's Best Dressed Up: Musician
On the day he was invited to Totoko's room and everyone arrived with high expectations, Ichimatsu was no exception, and it seems he was in a euphoric mood. Ichimatsu, who normally has messy hair and is far from fashionable, chose to wear musician-like fashion, holding a guitar and with his hair dyed red and standing up. This transformation, which is unthinkable compared to his usual self, shows how excited he is.
Like his brothers, Ichimatsu is crazy about Totoko.
Ichimatsu arrived at the concert venue with everyone on the day Totoko made her idol debut. At first, he looked cold, but once the concert began, he smiled and danced with joy. He continues to attend concerts after that, and seems to enjoy himself.

After that, his expression returned to normal and he asked Karamatsu, "Who's Karamatsu?", trying to end the conversation.
Even the expressionless Ichimatsu is smitten with the pears.
While the sextuplets were arguing over Karamatsu's kidnapping, their mother showed up with a pile of pears in her hands. Seeing the pears, the sextuplets' behavior suddenly changed, as if the previous argument was a lie. Everyone, with happy smiles on their faces, eagerly pounced on the pear.
