For the popular romcom "The Quintessential Quintuplets" (Japanese: "Go-Tōbun no Hanayome"), two new anime projects have been officially announced. As revealed at the event "The Quintessential Quintuplets SPECIAL EVENT 2026 in TOYOTA ARENA TOKYO" on May 2, 2026, both a TV adaptation of the novel "The Quintessential Quintuplets: Spring Summer Fall Winter" (Japanese: "Shunkashūtō") and a brand-new Original Video Animation (OVA) are in production.
"The Quintessential Quintuplets: Spring Summer Fall Winter" is an official sequel novel written by Hajime Asano under the full supervision of series creator Negi Haruba. The story picks up after the end of the original manga and follows the lives of the Nakano sisters during their final year of high school. A manga adaptation of the novel is also already in the works.
In parallel, the second project will be a new OVA that animates previously unadapted scenes from the original manga source material for the first time, addressing long-standing fan requests.
The announcement was made as part of a large event at the Toyota Arena Tokyo, where the entire main cast gathered, including Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Futaro Uesugi) as well as Kana Hanazawa (Ichika), Ayana Taketatsu (Nino), Miku Itō (Miku), Ayane Sakura (Yotsuba), and Inori Minase (Itsuki).
"The Quintessential Quintuplets" debuted as an anime in 2019 and quickly became a major success, spawning multiple series seasons, films, and TV specials. The story follows high school student Futaro, who is hired as a tutor for five chaotic but attractive quintuplet sisters on the verge of failing.
