As they are quintuplets, they were born on the same day and at the same time, but Ichika was the first to be born. She thinks and acts a little more maturely than her sisters who are the same age, and she also acts as the leader between them. She was never harsh towards Fuutarou from the beginning, and despite being the same age, she has an air of being older than him... In this article, we will explore the charms of Ichika, who is the same age as her but has the attributes of an older sister!
Ichika is MAX mature from the first appearance

Ichika, the sexiest of the five sisters, shows her big sister side even in her first appearance. She looks into Futaro's face in a very bold outfit that makes you think that the buttons on her chest are obvious. Even when Futaro said, "I can take care of myself," she acted like a big sister and said, "If you're in trouble, come talk to me, Ichika-san."

Futaro chases after May, ignoring Nino and the others' attempts to stop him. He runs up the stairs and reaches the 30th floor where May took the elevator. Just as they were about to catch up with Itsuki and continue the conversation, the sisters returned home. Nino and Yotsuba mistook her for a stalker, but Ichika seemed to be suspicious of her relationship with Itsuki.
Ichika just woke up. A line that is clearly an invitation...

This is a scene from when Futaro and Yotsuba visited Ichika's room, and Ichika usually sleeps naked. In other words, she only has a pair of shorts under this futon. At first, Futaro was flustered, but he looked around the messy room and started talking about studying. Ichika then says this meaningful line. It's a situation that might make you want to jump in, but Futaro's gentlemanly nature can be seen as he leaves the room.
Will there be more bonus shots as the story progresses?

No matter how naked she is under the covers, if she's covered with them, the joy is halved!! Good news for all of you who are angry. As the story progresses, each of them makes bold attacks on Futaro, so naturally Ichika is also provided with a service scene like this.
Ichika was actually working as a young actress

The five sisters were originally from a wealthy family and were indifferent to the idea of working, but Ichika had started acting in secret. At first, she lied to Fuutarou and said she was a camera assistant, but he eventually found out and Ichika had to go for an audition. Just before that, Futaro grabs Ichika's face and advises her to stop the fake smile she shows when hiding her true feelings.
Did the advice work? Ichika's performance at the audition was overwhelming.
After receiving Futaro's advice, Ichika heads to the audition. She starts her performance as the last one, and at the end, she says with a smile, "I'm glad you're my teacher. I'm glad I'm your student." Instead of her usual fake smile, Ichika finishes her performance with a big smile, thinking about how the other sisters would smile. The audience couldn't help but exclaim "Wow" at her natural smile, and the manager was also sure that she had passed.
The worst booking!? Ichika was shooting at Fuutarou's part-time job.

Ichika came to the store for the shoot without thinking about anything. After exchanging normal greetings and looking around the store, Ichika sees Fuutarou there... Ichika panics because at this time she had promised to put her acting career on hold in order to focus on her studies. Fuutarou has no interest in acting and was planning to leave work, but when he sees Ichika, he makes a sour face and says he'll look around after all.
He's an actress after all! Ichika looks completely different than usual

Ichika's character in the movie, which is filmed at Fuutarou's shop, is completely different from usual, and she is a gentle character who seems even more foolish than Yotsuba. However, in front of Fuutarou, Ichika firmly immerses herself in the role and plays it perfectly. Even so, Ichika's usual coolness is good, but this cute Ichika is also quite good...
It was during the school trip that Ichika fell in love with Fuutarou
It seems that she had been aware of him before, but the moment Ichika became completely aware of him was when she was locked in a warehouse during a school trip! At that time, she puts her hand on her chest and tells herself that she doesn't notice him, but when the tree she was leaning against falls, the distance between them shrinks in an instant.
Fuutarou saves Ichika at the last moment

Fuutarou immediately runs to Ichika and embraces her to protect her from the tree falling towards her. Although she was saved in the nick of time, Fuutarou's actions and the smile he showed Ichika while saying, "You're surprisingly clumsy," made the start of a love that was not a complete misunderstanding.
Ichika's love sensor completely collapses!

Ichika had been acting calmly until then. She puts her hand on her chest and tells herself that her sensor is normal and that she is not in love with Fuutarou. However, when Fuutarou saves her, her love sensor completely collapses! The beeping sound is the sound of the sensor in the storeroom detecting an impact, but it is also clearly the sound of Ichika's love sensor going off. You can tell by looking at her expression...
He who wants to shoot the general should first shoot the horse! Ichika is serious about playing house

On the day that Ichika's manager's daughter was to be taken in, Ichika and Miku were forced to play the role of a secretary who likes Futaro, who plays her father. Miku is the first to make her appeal. He glances over at Ichika as if declaring war, and you think that Ichika is serious too, seducing Fuutarou, who is playing the father role... but it turns out that her target is not Fuutarou, but the girl playing the daughter.

Ichika, who has fallen in love with Fuutarou but also wants to support Miku because of her position, is relieved when she sees that Nino is going to teach Miku how to make Valentine's chocolates. Miku thought that if she gave Ichika the chocolate, the two would get together. However, instead of words of joy, Ichika let out a sigh... and wondered why she had fallen in love with him. Ichika! Behind you!
The signs were there! Ichika's feelings for Fuutarou

The time goes back a little to autumn before the school trip. Fuutarou suddenly pats Ichika on the head, who is a responsible eldest daughter, but Ichika is cold towards him. However, right after that, Ichika says it's hot. Fuutarou complains that it's cold and goes back inside the room, but Ichika's body is so hot that she doesn't seem to notice how cold it is.
Even Ichika is embarrassed to see her after a bath

Ichika always acts like an older sister, but when she encounters Fuutarou after a bath wearing only a bath towel, she panics. She immediately threw the paper bag she was holding at him and screamed, "Pervert!" However, inside the bag were all the answer sheets with zeros that the sisters had produced... This led to further problems. By the way, she is almost completely naked in her room...
Ichika's meaningful smile as she blocks Miku's confession

If she gets first place in the test, she will confess to Fuutarou. Miku, who had declared this, was praised for her top grades and potential for growth as she had declared, and was about to confess her feelings. However, Ichika, who arrived last, had a higher score than Miku. In the end, she decided to stop Miku from confessing, but was she "done" at this point because she had become number one, or because she had stopped Miku from confessing?...
Ichika is played by this super popular voice actress in the anime!

The voice actress who plays the oldest of the five sisters is Kana Hanazawa! She is also a super famous voice actress, so there is no need for me to explain her. If I start listing her representative works, there is no end to it. However, when Sakura Ayane, who plays Yotsuba and is known to be a Hanazawa Kana fanatic, works on the same set, I worry that Ichika might be attacked by Yotsuba (lol)
She's the same age, but she's like an older sister. Summary of Ichika

Although they are the same age as the quintuplets, Ichika is the eldest daughter and works hard. Even when she ran away from her parents, Ichika was the one who managed the financial aspects. Even so, Ichika is the type who works hard in the shadows without showing it on her face. I'm looking forward to seeing how Futaro will understand her and (unknowingly) conquer Ichika.
