* Itsuki is the second Nakano Quintuplet who gets her picture taken alongside Fuutarou. However, she is the first Nakano Quintuplet who took a picture with Fuutarou properly.  [*page 19*]

	+ page 16: closing up
* Nakano Quintuplets' Formation:
	+ page 4: Nino, Miku, Itsuki, Yotsuba, Ichika
* **Yukata Designs**
	+ Ichika's yukata design seems to have no specific theme although the pattern seems to explode from a single point which may allude to both the number (1) in her name and her more hidden explosive nature underneath her facade.
	+ Nino's peculiar yukata design seems to be themed around "Alice in Wonderland". This includes western patterns on her collar and obi, the clock design on her obi, and the presumably white rabbit patterns on her yukata. This might allude to her character as being stuck in her own wonderland, and not wanting Fuutarou to intrude into it. In addition, the rabbit is also  Nino's favorite animal which is also her phone cover's design.
	+ Miku's yukata design is actually based on an actual design by Bonheur Saisons Yukata collection. The design of a swallow is usually associated with good luck, fidelity in marriage, and fertility.
	+ Yotsuba's four-petals flower yukata design alludes to both her number (4) and her name-flower, 4-leaf clover (Yotsuba)
* **Time-related Notes**:
	+ The date announced by the radio is Sunday, September 30th. In reality, this aligns with the 2018 calendar, implying that the story starts in 2018.
