“Fuutarou Uesugi He is an excellent high school student but leads a difficult life. His distant personality and reclusive nature have left him friendless, and his father is in debt, forcing his family to struggle to survive. One day, during his lunch break, Uesugi argues with a newly transferred student who “claimed his place”, leading to mutual dislike.
On the same day, he has a unique opportunity to pay off his family’s debts: a private teaching job for the daughter of a rich family, with a salary five times higher than the market. He accepts the offer, but is shocked to find that the customer, Itsuki Nakano, is the girl he has already met.
After unsuccessfully trying to get Itsuki’s approval, Uesugi discovers that her problems don’t end there: Itsuki is actually a twin, so besides her, he must also teach his sisters: Miku, Yotsuba, Nino, and Ichika, who don’t want anything to do with a tutor despite the very real risk of failure. However, with their family’s livelihood at stake, Uesugi is determined to rid his sisters of their hatred for college and guide them to graduation.
Finally, we leave you with a The Quintessential Quintuplets cosplay of the twin Nino.
