Stretching in a messy bed in an even messier room, it was a lazy morning for Ichika Nakano. Not like she was too familiar with the opposite, only ever getting up early when she had to go to school.

Still, she felt a little more guilt about lazing around because today was a special day: the final day of the school festival.

As much as she enjoyed the cheap food and student entertainment program, that wasn't the reason she felt so excited. In fact, today was the day she would finally get together with the man she loved, Futaro Uesugi.

While Futaro was handsome and succesful in school, that wasn't what she loved about him. Being her tutor, he taught her many things about not just school, but herself too. His caring nature touched her heart, helping her overcome all her troubles both academic and personal. That was why Ichika felt so strongly about him.

By all logic, today should've been the perfect day for a young girl in love, but there was one problem, actually four problems.

"Ichika!" One of the problems shouted from behind her door. "Get up, you slob! We'll be late for school!"

"Ugh..." Curling up next to what felt like a crumpled up trench coat, Ichika mustered up the stength to answer. "Just a second!"

In reality, Ichika was one of five sisters, quintuplets to be accurate. Living with five identical sisters had its perks, but also its fair share of downsides.

One of these cons was the very reason she felt a strong sense of anxiety along with excitement for today. It was a conundrum very few people had ever experienced, but also reality for Ichika.

Just like her, one by one, Futaro had made his way into the hearts of all the sisters. None of them really understood how, especially since they all basically hated the sight of him when he became their tutor, but their emotions spoke louder.

Eventually, Futaro too found himself developing feelings, but with five sisters and only one of himself, he would have to choose which one he would make his own.

Today was the day, the day he would finally make his choice, and Ichika was terrified of what changes it may make to their lives.

"ICHIKA!" The voice returned, now screaming angrily at her in a high pitched voice. "WAKE UP!"

"Okay okay!" Startled, she forced herself out of the bed, putting her worries off for later. "I'm up!"

Hearing a scoff from behind the door, Ichika hastily put some clothes on before exiting her room. As soon as she stepped out, her eyes were blinded by the sunlight coming in from the extra large window in their luxurious apartment.

"About time!" Once her eyes adjusted, Ichika saw a girl nearly identical to her, only with a different hairstyle, longer with two colorful bows on its sides.

"Do you have to be so mean?" The older sister yawned. "Did you forget what day it is, Nino?"

"No I did not." Nino proudly proclaimed, descending the stairs to their apartment's lower floor. "You're the only one ruining it by being so lazy!"

Ichika giggled, finding her sister's aggressive demeanor entertaining as ever. While it originally put her at odds with Futaro, later it became her biggest advantage in her quest for love, never hesitating to state her true feelings.
