The anime Go-Toubun no Hanayome has the following description: The story tells us the life of Fuutarou Uesugi, a high school student whose existence is marked by economic hardship and a loneliness brought on by his aloof personality. His daily routine takes an unexpected turn when a conflict with a new student, Itsuki Nakano, over the “right” to a seat in the school canteen, triggers a wave of mutual dislike.
Things get even more complicated when Fuutarou is presented with an opportunity to pay off family debts through a job as a private tutor that offers a salary five times higher than average. However, he discovers that his student is none other than Itsuki, the same girl with whom he had previously quarreled.
But the surprise doesn’t end there. Itsuki turns out to be one of the Nakano quintuplets so now, in addition to Itsuki, Fuutarou must also tutor her sisters: Miku, Yotsuba, Nino and Ichika. Despite the fact that these girls face the real risk of failing their studies, they show no interest in having a tutor.
Facing these challenges with determination, Fuutarou is determined to overcome the quintuplets’ resistance to their studies, and successfully lead them to graduation, not only for the financial well-being of his family, but also for the personal satisfaction of fulfilling his mission as a tutor.
