        This was a good day for the Church of Miku. Crowned by a Han Solo moment nonetheless. I wonder who was the helpful snek making sure things would follow the keikaku…

                ! Fuutaro was the stalker, and more Yotsuba suffering.

                      I am team Miku, but I expect it will be Itsuki who is the bride.

                      Life flows on. I'd just go with it, if I were me.

                        Thanks for linking the series, I'm enjoying the ride so far! It does follow the cliches of the genre - compulsory festival with yukatas, awkward guy-falls-over-girl moment (does this even happen in real life ? Seems to me one needs to be a complete clutz to trip like that and also very skilled to avoid hurting the other person with a headbutt or misplaced elbow or knee); I'm expecting the swimsuit trip and public bath scene anytime now (only read 10 chapters or so). But the character dynamics make up for it, I've grown fond of those sisters and how they care for each other despite the constant bickering.

                          Haven't finished the manga yet but I'm enjoying it so far (think 60+ chapters so far). How's the anime?

                            Didn’t had time to check but since was one cour, i think it cover until the first school trip. Thankfully second cour has already been announced.

                              All caught up now; I didn't think I had it in me to enjoy another school harem story, but I read the whole 86 chapters over the past 3 days so that's that. I'm rooting for Miku, btw, although that's only subjective preference.

                                The Church of Miku is a welcoming one my brother.
                                But so is the Nino Gang and the Yotsukuza.

                                  Church of Miku works, but I think that that Nino should be the organized crime group, Yostuba as the non organized gang, Ichika is the pop idol fanatics, and Itsuki would be the most popular girl in school fan club

                                  Life flows on. I'd just go with it, if I were me.

                                    The Nino gang joke is from an /a/ translation of a joke volume intro, and the yotsuba drawn in a mafioso outfit from a volume bonus.
                                    I agree with Ichika one but Eatsuki would be the leader of the gourmet club.

                                        I see, so they are established names.
                                        So :
                                        Ichika's Fanatics
                                        The Nino Gang
                                        The Church of Miku
                                        Yotsukuza
                                        Eatsuki's Kitchen

                                        I can live with this

                                        Life flows on. I'd just go with it, if I were me.

                                          2,3, and 4 are basically the faction names on reddit yes, 1 and 5 don't have a specific.

                                            I follow divine teachings of Church of Miku for the honour of the revered lady… She has best chemistry with Fuutaro and first to love him.

                                            I read that heretical text about Yotsuba being lolikano (girl from past) and I must admit that Yotsuba might become Dark horse even though She is completelly selfless and always places her sisters desires above her own.

                                            I am devout member of Church of Miku but should someone ask me to rank my preference on sisters it would be like this.

                                            1. Lady Miku
                                            2. Yotsuba (that heretical theory is having Dark influence on me)
                                            3. Ichika (strong is she)
                                            4. Nino (her eccentrity and confidence is not to be underestimated).

                                                      That is funny.

                                                      When I think about it though, each of the quints was designed to be the stereotypes.

                                                      Ichika : Strong
                                                      Nino : Tsundere
                                                      Miku : Shy
                                                      Yotsuba : Sporty
                                                      Itsuki : Klutzy

                                                      Odds are good the one you root for is your preferred type.

                                                      Life flows on. I'd just go with it, if I were me.

                                                          I guess you have multiple types 😉

                                                          You could also take that a bit further and say that each represents more than just the base I said before

                                                          Ichika : Strong wanting to be able to be weak
                                                          Nino : Tsundere (cold wanting to be warm and compasionate)
                                                          Miku : Shy wanting to be bold
                                                          Yotsuba : Sporty wanting to be smart
                                                          Itsuki : Klutzy wanting to be competent

                                                                            Also, I had not fully realized before reading the above, but the change of focus to Fuutarou's side in the second half of the series is a welcome shift that will hopefully prevent the harem thing from going in circles.

Use any logic that you want, but I would like to hear the theories that all of you have.

                                                                              Life flows on. I'd just go with it, if I were me.

From a story point 4’s victory comes full circle with the story but at this point sounds more like pitty points. 2 winning would be fitting given that she was the one with most growth, and by recent chapters I would say 3 is giving her a run for the money on that two.

                                                                                I see 5 as more as friend to Fuuts than anything, and I don’t approve the underhand tactics that 1 used to overcome her own fears to confess.

                                                                                    • At this point the only quint whom I would feel safe ruling out as the bride is Itchika because she has her own thing going - acting career - that she may prioritize in the near future. Plus she seems to have burnt herself after playing fake Miku at the school trip.
                                                                                    • Yotsuba seems out of the game for now, but there's no telling what would happen if Fuutarou ever realizes that she was Lolikano all along (he hasn't, right ? I would be surprised if that played a part though, because the "Rena" subplot seems to have closed that door - Fuutaro has let go of the past and doesn't seem to care anymore which of the quints was Lolikano). Also, eventhough she does not actively try to seduce him, simply being herself might still be a valid approach in the end so I wouldn't rule her out yet.
                                                                                    • Miku has a lot going for her after the onsen trip, (and I really want the analysis Pariston linked earlier to turn true), yet I fear she might end with Nino on the "rejected" bench. Not for a lack of qualification, but because both took an early start that make them tempting victims of future twists. On the road to exploring his feelings Fuutaro might first find out for whom he doesn't have any, and oh! Look who's here eagerly inviting an answer ?

                                                                                    At the end of the day, the only thing I'm really sure about is that the author will do their best to keep us in the dark until the very last chapters, so normal logic should probably not apply anyway.

                                                                                      i think the least likely is miku. Her growth has been the most. she was very passive and timid, and now is more daring to go for the things she likes. She doesnt need fuutaru any more to be herself more proudly.
