5Toubun
During this Easter holidays I read all the released chapters of 5Toubun (or The Quintessential Quintuplets).
Honestly at the beginning I felt overwhelmed by the fact that all the five girls were introduced in the first chapter; their similarity and the fact that motrly Itsuki got the focus in the first chapter didn't help either. Besides, it is clear how the basic idea of the high school student who teaches his girl classmates are clearly taken directly from We Can't Study/We Never Learn (which I suppose came out before, since it already passed the chapter number 100).
However then the author starts to focus some chapters on single characters, while the others are still present but in the background - firstly Miku, then Ichika, and so no. Chapter by chapter, I admin the story becomes really nice, all the quintuplets have different personalities which are well represented and evolves during the manga. For example, at the beginning I completely didn't like Nino, while now she has become one of my favourite quintuplet alongside with Miku - I also like Itsuki, while Ichika and Yostuba are lower in my ranking.
The current arc is quite interesting and I feel that the manga will end with less chapters than Nisekoi, since there are a lot less fillers - and this is a good thing, after all. All the "flashforward" scenes about the marriage are quite interesting, I am sure the author is leaving a lot of hints inside them which we will be able to understand only after they become clear.

Moreover, during the story, the author decides to use an element coming from another romantic comedy - Nisekoi - to make the plot advance...

I hope anyway that there won't be a harem ending
