Author's Chapter Notes:

TAGS: Purely Background Info

This chapter mostly sets up what will happen in the rest of the story. Feel free to skim if you're current with the manga! The action starts in the next chapter.

 

 

Today was a normal day for Futaro Uesugi, where he needed to prepare worksheets for all five of the Nakano sisters for the coming week. It was a tough job, but by this point he'd grown to consider them all to be his close friends, even though he was uncomfortably aware that they all liked him far more than just as a friend. Before he wouldn't have ever noticed stuff like that, but thanks to all the relationship guide books he studied, he had a general grasp on the subject.

The eldest sister is Ichika, who barely acts like the responsible one, since she can't even properly care for her room. She had recently taken the plunge to follow her dreams to become an actress, and Futaro was more than okay with her doing that, but he still pressed get to keep up with her school work. Recently she told him that she didn't have any romantic feelings for him, but he guessed that she felt guilty and wanted to stay out of the way of the others.

The second eldest sister is Nino, who actually hated Futaro at first, mainly because she thought that he was a threat to their relationship as sisters. Somehow she ended up confessing to him first, which was a real shock to him at the time. Nino is very much aware that her sisters also love Futaro, but that doesn't concern her, since she will continue to pursue that man she fell in love with even if her rivals are her precious sisters.

The middle child is Miku, who was very quiet and shy with Futaro at first, though quickly grew to respect him. She was always fascinated by the Sengoku generals, which Futaro learned all about in order to gain her trust. It took Miku a long time to gather up the courage to confess, and she had more than a few setbacks along the way. But by now, she is taking a page from Nino's book and is taking an aggressive offensive strategy to win over Futaro.

The second youngest sister is Yotsuba, who may have had the longest history with Futaro. When they were much younger, they met and had a long fun day together, though he never realized that Yotsuba was that same girl, and she never felt like she deserved to reveal that to him. She still definitely has feelings for Futaro, though she is currently trying to bury them down due to her own insecurities and keep them hidden from him. Somehow, Futaro managed to figure out that Yotsuba probably had feelings for him as well, though he feels like he should keep quiet about it unless she brings it up.

And the youngest sister is Itsuki, who has been acting as the 'mom' of the sisters for a long time. Due to that, she speaks to everyone, including her sisters and Futaro, in a much more formal tone of voice. Recently, she tried letting go a bit and easing up, trying to talk with Futaro more casually. That by itself was probably more of a shock to him then any love confession could. Other than that, she enjoys eating food, though she gets highly upset if anyone even hints at teasing her for it.

Also, feel free to take a brief look at the wiki page to find more manga/anime images of all 5 sisters, plus Futaro. But if you haven’t read/watched this series yet, I’d suggest you give it a try!

A few brief notes about this story going forward:

  1. I won’t be using honorifics, just because I’d feel weird writing them. Though it might get annoying since each sister has a different way of addressing Futaro, including which honorific (if any) they use. But if people really want me to use them, I can make that change.

  2. I’ll be using the names from the official translation. So in general Fuutarou = Futaro. I think that’s the only major change from the scanlations to the official translation.
