The Quintessential Quintuplets: Chapter 84 Review

After a long wait, we finally got chapter 84 of The Quintessential Quintuplets. And boy was it worth the wait. 

As the drama-filled trip in Kyoto draws to a close, it was revealed in the previous chapter that Miku was in the same group as Fuutarou. This was confirmed in this chapter as true because Ichika switched groups with Miku to make it happen. So despite not being in the chapter much, this is a very important moment for the redemption of Ichika. 

But this chapter was a Miku chapter, which we could see coming from the start of this Kyoto arc.

What started off as an awkward time after what happened at the start of the Kyoto trip turned into what became a friendly day of interactions between Fuutarou and Miku. Things began taking off after Fuutarou ate bread Miku made and then him being reminded of his dead mother who used to make really good bread. This really got the emotions going as Miku wanted to know more and everything about Fuutarou. She then proceeded to tell him that she loves him, putting her in the confession category. 

Not that this is shocking stuff as we knew it was a thing and Fuutarou did too fit awhile as it was no secret, it was done super well. The way Miku just pointed to him and said one word: “love” fits her very well and doing it in the intense emotional time after Fuutarou brought up his dead mother was planned very well. There were no brakes being pumped in the second half of the chapter and you couldn’t help but feel things. 

And after Miku confessed, there was a sense of a weight being lifted. A sense of relief from both characters after this trying trip. Miku because she finally did it, and Fuutarou because he knew it had been bugging her for a long time. 

And this likely spells out the end of the Kyoto trip arc, otherwise known as Sisters’ War. The drama has not ceased, but it has calmed down a bit for now as we likely approach another exam arc where the interactions are likely to get a bit interesting. I’m intrigued to see how they pull this one off now with so much of the air still uncleared.
