Who Does Itsuki End Up With

The Quintessential Question: Itsuki's Romantic Fate

Okay, let's talk about The Quintessential Quintuplets. We've all obsessed over who Fuutarou would choose. But let's be real, the real question is: who *should* Itsuki end up with?

The Obvious Answer (That's Totally Wrong)

Most people assume Itsuki is destined for a solo career. You know, focused on her studies, devouring every last bite of food. A lone wolf blazing her own trail.

But come on! Even the biggest meat bun enthusiast deserves a little love. Don't you think?

The "She's Basically the Heroine" Argument

Some say she should end up with Fuutarou anyway. After all, she was the first quint he met. She even pretends to be *Rena*! That HAS to mean something, right?

While cute, it's just... not my cup of tea. The bride has already been chosen!

My Unpopular (But Correct) Opinion

Prepare yourselves. This might sting. Ready?

Itsuki should end up with... me! Okay, not *me* specifically. But someone like me! Someone who appreciates her dedication.

I'm thinking a fellow teacher, a passionate foodie, or a history buff. Someone equally as dorky and adorable as she is.

Why This Works (Hear Me Out!)

Think about it. Itsuki is driven. She's kind. And she's got a heart of gold, even if she hides it under a mountain of textbooks.

She needs someone who sees that, someone who encourages her. Someone who brings her meat buns just because.

Fuutarou is great and all, but he's busy being head-over-heels for Yotsuba. Let Itsuki find her own path. A path to happiness!

The Case for a Slow-Burn Romance

Imagine this: years after the series ends, Itsuki runs into an old acquaintance. Maybe a classmate, maybe someone from her tutoring days.

Sparks fly over a shared love of Japanese history or a particularly delicious bowl of ramen. They bond over their similar work ethic.

Their relationship builds slowly, organically. No pressure, just genuine connection. Doesn't that sound perfect?

The "Opposites Attract" Theory (Debunked)

I know, I know. Some might argue that Itsuki needs someone totally different. A bad boy biker, maybe? Or a flamboyant artist?

Nah. She doesn't need drama. She needs stability. Someone who will appreciate her quirks, not try to change them.

Plus, imagine trying to share a meat bun with a biker dude! Disaster!

The Bottom Line

Look, I'm not saying Itsuki *needs* a relationship to be happy. She's perfectly capable of rocking the single life.

But if she *does* choose to find love, let it be with someone deserving. Someone who truly understands and appreciates her.

So, forget Fuutarou. Forget the quints. Let's all root for Itsuki to find her own happily ever after. Preferably one involving lots of delicious food.
