On the official site for the anime adaptation of the manga written and illustrated by Negi Haruba, Gotoubun no Hanayome (The Quintessential Quintuplets), a new promotional video for the franchise film was released, celebrating its release in an additional 91 theaters starting July 29. However, no plans have yet been announced to release it in theaters in the rest of the world.
The film opened on May 20 in theaters in Japan, racking up more than 1.5 million tickets sold and more than 2 billion yen (over 14.57 million US dollars) in profits. Finally, the new visual shows the quintuplets in their school outfits, which, in fact, have rarely been seen in promotional materials lately.
On the other hand, Negi Haruba published the manga in the magazine Weekly Shonen Magazine from the publisher Kodansha between August 2017 and February 2020, with a total of fourteen compilation volumes. The work inspired two anime seasons and a movie that ended the story.

Fuutarou struggles to prepare for the school festival while keeping an eye on Ichika’s studies, who has decided to take a leave of absence to focus on acting, and Yotsuba is even more determined than usual to make it a school festival with no regrets. Dizzying days go by and before you know it, it’s the eve of the school festival.
Fuutarou is encouraged by Itsuki’s decision not to give up, and searches for answers to Nino’s feelings, Miku’s determination, and his feelings for Ichika, Yotsuba, and Itsuki. With each of them having their own thoughts and feelings, the first day of the school festival, the last event of his high school life, finally began. “Come to the classroom at 3:00 p.m., the first day of the school festival.” The quintuplets gather in the classroom and Fuutarou finally informs them that he will make a decision…
