Trivia
- This is the last chapter of Volume 9, and it's about Nino's determination and Miku's excellent cooking. The first chapter of the volume, Chapter 69, is about Nino's determination and Miku's horrible cooking.
- Fuutarou's new goal for the Nakano Quintuplets can be regarded as his third goal. The first is only about making the sisters able to graduate (Chapter 2, first hired as a tutor), the second is making the sisters graduate with smile (Chapter 3, after learning about the sisters), and this one, trying to find out what they want to be.
