WOW, so much better than the first volume. Less bullying of the poor guy and more fun and getting to know the girls! I really had fun and I would love to read more of this series~

This was MASSIVE improvement from the first volume! I'm glad that Futaro isn't taking the girls' shit all the time, initially going along with their shenanigans only to come back with a vengeance. Also, I feel like each of the girls was more flushed out this time around and they didn't annoy me nearly as much. The artwork is still cute and the more impactful scenes really shone through, so that's a massive plus. Also, seeing how caring Itsuki is towards Raiha made my heart swell just a bit.

As for cons, the whole situation regarding Ichika felt a bit dragged out, though I did really like the resolution at the end on both Ichika's and Futaro's parts. Also, how did the Ichika's manager or whatever mistake Miku for Ichika?? Yes, I get that they're quintuplets thus they have a similar features, but Ichika has super short hair and Miku's is obviously longer, how could the manager dude NOT notice that?! I guess it was one of those "he's so focused he doesn't pick up on small details" moments, but I felt that was a bit farfeched and only existed to cause more drama.

I'm super curious to see how the girls fair during the midterm exams, seeing as so little studying has been going on. And of course, that cliffhanger ending has me curious. Anyway, if you were unsure about this series after the first volume, I encourage you to at least give this volume a try. It is a significant and welcomed improvement.

I enjoy how the sisters' characters are developing more and more. And the art style is just so cute!

This volume was not an improvement to the first one, but it’s nice to see the quintuplets slowly starting to warm up to Uesugi one by one. I like how each sister has their own personality traits, hobbies, and likes/dislikes. The fireworks festival arc was incredibly confusing. I get that it’s purposefully written and drawn that way to emphasize Uesugi’s confusion, but the story was muddled with the constantly shifting perspectives. I could hardly tell which quintuplet was in which scenes, and the progression of time was super hard to follow.
