The 5-toubun no Hanayome Special Event 2026 in Toyota Arena Tokyo announced a new television anime and new original video anime for the franchise on Saturday, revealing a project visual and an announcement promo.

The new television anime series is based on Hajime Asano's 5-toubun no Hanayome: [Shunkashuutou] (The Quintessential Quintuplets: [Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter]) sequel novel. Produced under the full supervision of original creator Negi Haruba, the story depicts the daily lives of the Nakano sisters throughout their final year of high school and serves as a continuation of the original manga. A manga adaptation of the novel is also currently in progress.

Produced by Tezuka Productions, the original 5-toubun no Hanayome (The Quintessential Quintuplets) television anime aired in 12 episodes in Winter 2019. Bibury Animation Studios produced the second season in Winter 2021 and the subsequent sequel movie in May 2022. The franchise also includes two television specials, 5-toubun no Hanayome ∽ and 5-toubun no Hanayome *, which premiered in September 2023 and December 2024, respectively. Crunchyroll simulcasted the anime, while Funimation also streamed an English dub.

The 14th and final volume published in April 2020. 5-toubun no Hanayome has a cumulative 20 million copies of its volumes in print.

Asano began writing the romantic comedy light novel based on Haruba's original story. Kodansha began publishing the series under its KC Deluxe imprint with illustrations by Haruba in January 2025. The third volume went on sale in September 2025.
