Synopsis: Fuutarou Uesugi is an ace high school student, but 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 both of them to dislike each other. That same day, he is 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 back on Itsuki's good side, Uesugi finds out that his problems don't end there: Itsuki is actually a quintuplet, so in addition to her, 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 Uesugi pushes on, adamant in his resolve to rid the sisters of their detest for studying and successfully lead them to graduation.

Crunchyroll Rating: 4.6 / 5.0     My Rating: 7/10

My Opinion: I feel sorry for Uesugi who has to deal with the Quintuplets. I feel for him. Even though, I don't tutor at all. I still feel for him. The Quintuplets is like dealing with kindergartens. However, besides that, I really like the storyline of how he tries his best to get them to graduate high school and go to college for the sake of them and his job and family. There is constantly a twist at every corner when it comes to those quintuplets. I like it but not love it. AND THE CFILLHANGER AT THE END REALLY MADE ME AOIEFNGRMTJY---

Worth Watching?: Yes, but no if you don't like cliffhangers when it comes to love stories
