The History and Meaning of Gotoubun no Hanayome
"Itsuki Nakano" [五等分の花嫁] means something like the quintuplets brides, totally different from the English name (The Quintessential Quintuplets). The word toubun [等分] literally means equal parts.
This name makes perfect sense in the work, since in the first chapters the author already makes it clear that one of them will be the bride of the protagonist Fuutarou Uesugi. The purpose of the work is to leave this mystery about which of the five sisters will be the bride.
Fuutarou Uesugi is a poor and anti-social student. One day, he gets a job tutoring a wealthy family that is new to town. Fuutarou's future students are revealed to be his new classmate Itsuki Nakano and his quintuplet sisters.
Despite the girls' bad first impressions of Fuutarou, he seriously tries to do his job, only to find they have terrible grades and terribly complex personalities.
It is a romance anime with two seasons based on a manga written and illustrated by Negi Haruba. The manga has a total of 14 volumes and 122 chapters.
The Most -Father - Names, Numbers and Personalities
Do you know quintuplets? A curious fact that goes unnoticed is the name of the 5 sisters that are actually numerals. According to each sister's birth, her name is based on a number. See below:
Ichika Nakano - The First Sister
Ichika [一花] is the first to come out of the belly, establishing herself as an older sister, her name is composed with the number one ideogram ichi [一] followed by the rose character hana [花]. She is an aspiring actress and loves to tease Fuutarou Uesugi.
Ichika atua como a irmã mais velha de suas irmãs, pois ela parece ter uma atitude calma e composta; tornando-se uma pessoa acessível. Fuutarou Uesugi observou que seu sorriso é falso e a encorajou a deixar de lado esse tipo de sorriso.
Eu queria que as coisas continuassem assim para sempre. Eu não queria que essa situação confortável mudasse. Mas, na realidade... não quero que mais ninguém o tenha.
Nino Nakano - The Second Sister
Nino [二乃] is the second daughter to leave, carries in her name the ideogram of two no [二] together with the character of [乃] used to refer to the possession particle [の]. It can be considered the main tsundere from the anime.
Nino geralmente atua como a mãe da família; cozinhando para as irmãs e cuidando de suas necessidades médicas. Entre as cinco irmãs, ela é a que tem a maior hostilidade em relação a Fuutarou Uesugi e muitas vezes se rebelou contra ele no início da série.
There must be at least one person on Earth who would love a tactless guy like you.
Miku - The Third Sister
Miku [三玖] is the third and my favorite of the quintuplets, her name is composed of the character of three [三] followed by the character [玖] which can mean beautiful black jewel or nine. She appears to be the shyest of the sisters, but over the course of the series is shown to be braver than Ichika.
Miku is a quiet and reserved girl who has a pessimistic way of thinking without confidence, to the point of demeaning herself. Fuutarou Uesugi notes that she has no faith in herself. Unlike her reserved self, she can speak directly and does not hesitate to confront others.
To Fuutarou, we are just ... Your students. That's why I decided ... pass all the disciplines of this exam, and with the best notes of us five, nothing less. So that I can gradually graduate from myself, no longer being a student of Fuutetou. This time, surely, I can tell him that I love him.
Yotsuba Nakano - The Fourth Sister
Yotsuba [四葉] is the fourth sister, her name is composed of the ideogram number four [四] with ideogram [葉] which means leaf, plane, lobe and can also be used as a numerical counter of plants and fragments.
Her name has everything to do with her personality, Yotsuba is light and energetic like a leaf, she wears a green bow on her head and is usually the most active of the sisters, helping others before herself, without knowing how to say no. Being the most cheerful and positive of the sisters, she is the first to support Fuutarou as a tutor.
I'm sorry, Uesugi-san. I can't be special. So no matter who you fall in love with, I can support you with everything I have.
Itsuki Nakano - The Fifth Sister
Itsuki [五月] is the fifth and final sister, her name is composed of the number five [五] along with moon ideogram [月], her name can end up being confused as fifth month or May, referencing the date of birth of all the sisters it was May 5th.
One of the main characters in the series, she is serious, diligent, greedy and a crybaby. Despite being one of the girls that draws the most attention, she seems to be the most common among the sisters, she has nothing special to comment on.
The numerous days we spent studying for exams, the fireworks festival, field trip, New Year's celebration, we spent all this time together. Doesn't that make us ... friends?

Who is the chosen girl in Gotoubun no Hanayome?
The bride appears in chapters 1, 32, 61, 68, 121 and 122 of the manga and some episodes of the anime leaving the real mystery. She marries Fuutarou Uesugi at the age of 22, during the anime the five sisters are around 17 and 18 years old.
This part of the article has spoilers. We don't want to spoil your experience by watching the anime or reading the manga, but in case you're curious to know who the bride in the manga is, we're pleased to say it's the fourth sister Yotsuba Nakano.
In the past, during an excursion to Kyoto, Uesugi met the five twins who at the time were all the same and lived a simple life alongside their mother, who worked as a teacher at a school.
Upon seeing the scene of a boy being accused of taking pictures of a girl, Yotsuba Nakano intervened and stated that the boy did nothing, saving him from a predicament. From then on, Yotsuba started following him because he found him interesting, soon discovering that his name was Uesugi Fuutarou.
The two walked all day, visiting the sites and having fun, but they had one thing in common: they had both gotten lost. At dusk, they both took a souvenir photo. So Yotsuba is both the main girl of Kyoto and the Bride.
After this happened in Kyoto, Yotsuba began to use a bow to differentiate itself from the sisters. Finally the childhood friend from an anime wasn't merely comic relief. I initially thought he wouldn't be with his childhood friend or the promised girl.
Of course I preferred other girls like Miku and Nino, but to do what ... The hope I have is possible alternative endings to be released in the near future.
