What The Quintessential Quintuplets season 2 could look like

With season 2 of The Quintessential Quintuplets official, what is arguably the best part of the manga so far will get adapted. And with how faithful the anime was to the source material, you can’t help to have high expectations. 

The big question people have is what exactly will be adapted. What timeline of the manga will they adapt. How many chapters can they fit into what will likely be another 12-episode season. 

Warning: Manga spoilers beyond this point

Luckily, the manga has natural stopping points for potential anime seasons. These come in the form of flash forward wedding scenes. The first season ended with one, and there is another major one that would fit in perfectly to end season 2 given how many chapters they’d adapt to get there. They likely would adapt chapters 34-68 of the manga for season 2 considering it seems likely they’ll skip the hospital encounter seeing how they ended season 1 with Fuutarou already out of the hospital. Though it’d possible they flash back to that, even if it’s only briefly. With that in mind, let’s see how this structure could work.

Today and Kyoto’s Tough Luck and Togetherness/Detective Fuutarou and the Five Suspects/Labor Thanksgiving/Living Room Confession (1-2 episodes)

They might not adapt all four of these chapters fully for sake of time, but they definitely will take bits and pieces from each. All these chapters have important details in them that are needed, but this anime has done a great job fitting a bunch into 22 minute segments, so perhaps only 1 episode is needed here. 

The Seven Goodbyes (3-4 episodes)

This is a long drama arc and one of the most important arcs in the series so far. I could easily see this arc getting four episodes, even if it means they have to make some cuts elsewhere. This arc is that important. 

First Spring/Good Work Today/Fool’s Battle (1 episode)

These chapters can be done within one episode. There are bits and pieces of important stuff there, but it can easily all fit in just an episode. 

The Last Exam (1-2 episodes)

The exam arc in the middle of this season seems likely to receive two episodes, but rushing it through in just one episode isn’t out of the question. This arc is important though too so I’m assuming it’d need to be two episodes. 

The Conquest Begins (1 episode)

I know this is only a singular chapter, but it is a very important one to the story for a few characters. Perhaps they don’t have it as its own episode though as they may put it with the last exam episodes. 

Scrambled Eggs (3 episodes)

This arc is also very important but not quite as long as The Seven Goodbyes. I could easily see this one getting three episodes to round out the season with the wedding scene I mentioned earlier. 

With some fine tuning, they definitely can fit all these things in while still staying rather true to what the manga laid out. If adapted correctly, this second season should well outdo the first season, and that’s saying a lot.
