Plot

Fuutarou Uesugi is a poor, antisocial ace student who one day meets the rich transfer student Itsuki Nakano. They argue but when Uesugi realizes he is to be her tutor, he tries to get on better terms. While trying to do so he meets four other girls.

Ace high-school student Fuutarou Uesugi leads an otherwise tough life. His standoffish personality and reclusive nature have left him friendless, and his father is debt-ridden, forcing his family to scrape by. One day during his lunch break, Uesugi argues with a female transfer student who has claimed "his seat," leading them to dislike each other. Later that day he's presented with a golden opportunity to clear his family's debt: a private tutoring gig for a wealthy family's daughter, with a wage of five times the market price. He accepts the proposal, but is horrified to discover that the client, Itsuki Nakano, is the girl he confronted earlier. After unsuccessfully trying to get on Itsuki's good side, Uesugi finds out that his problems don't end there: Itsuki is actually a quintuplet, so he must also tutor her sisters--Miku, Yotsuba, Nino, and Ichika--who, despite the very real threat of flunking, want nothing to do with a tutor. However, his family's livelihood is on the line so he pushes on, adamant in his resolve to rid the sisters of their detest for studying and successfully lead them to graduation.
