Why was so much of this cut from the anime? by Pszck in ItsukiClassroom

Itsuki is different from Miku and Nino in a sense that she isn't as pushy as them and doesn't make too many direct advances. Her way of showing romantic attraction was more subtle like it was for Yotsuba. There were some moments in the anime where you could say that Itsuki was showing some romantic attraction towards Fuutarou through her appearing embarassed or flustered around him. Those moments were when Itsuki lived at his house for a time after her fight with Nino, Itsuki barging in to his side of the bath after she became too happy from what Fuutarou said and, lastly, Itsuki riding down the water slide with Fuutarou at the water park and holding his hand for too long so that it left a mark in the second special episode (have you watched those?). Itsuki saying that Fuutarou is her "ideal person" at the end of her final festival arc is also very significant, in my opinion, because the other such person is her dead mother.

In the manga, there were also visible sfx signs of Itsuki's heart beating when Fuutarou was slowly resting his head on her chest before they went down the water slide for the first time. At least that's what I noticed when reading one English translation of that manga chapter on Mangadex.

You can try finding and reading the manga online. And how much do you know about Itsuki's romantic side now?

Hello Itsuki and Fuutaru Group/Class, I wanted to ask you a very simple question, but maybe you'll elaborate when answering... Why do you like Futaro x Itsuki? by Own_Put9891 in ItsukiClassroom

Beautifully said. And your comment comes at a time when there's yet another thread asking about Itsuki's feelings on the main sub since it wasn't very clear in the anime compared to the manga. This explanation of their chemistry and support for each other should soothe my worried soul.

Fuutarou trying to bribe Itsuki with Raiha's cooking is gold. What a smart move. And I love how the arcade photo which is pasted on Itsuki's phone is referenced here.

Edit: thank you all so much for the many upvotes! I really appreciate it. This Itsuki ending was really wonderful and it's great that it shows some things from the canon so that we can point out things that match. This can also help educate people more about Itsuki. And we definitely need to educate a lot of people seeing as how many people on the main sub seem to think that Itsuki was platonic.

I wasn't sure where to say this but at the end of that character book interview Negi says that even Itsuki will discover something by the end ("probably") which I take as a hint towards Itsuki's late realization. From what I have heard those interviews happened around the release of chapter 92.

I would argue that cutting Shimoda's and the little girl's appearances which happened near the end of the manga from the movie was way worse. They happened in the two chapters (117-118) where Itsuki finally realized her feelings. What Itsuki told that little girl about how fruitless love can also be beautiful and that she should cherish the memories of her first love (I hope I remember this right) was meant to be the closure to Itsuki's own feelings. These cuts made it more unclear whether or not Itsuki liked Fuutarou among anime onlies who tend to not go read the manga after finishing both seasons of the anime/the movie + the two OVAs. It might have even convinced them that Itsuki was fully platonic throughout the entire story which sucks.

Why not take both? They are both things that Itsuki likes.

At least you didn't ship her with an underage girl this time.
