The anime Go-Toubun no Hanayome has the following description: Fuutarou Uesugi is an excellent high school student, but he leads a hard life. His aloof personality and reclusive nature have left him friendless, and his father is burdened by debt, forcing his family to scrape by.
One day, during lunchtime, Uesugi argues with a student who has claimed “her place,” which causes the two of them to dislike each other. That same day, he is presented with a golden opportunity to pay off his family’s debt: tutoring the daughter of a wealthy family, with a salary five times higher than the market rate. He accepts the proposal, but is horrified to discover that the client, Itsuki Nakano, is the girl he confronted before.
After unsuccessfully trying to get Itsuki to like him again, Uesugi discovers that his problems don’t end there: Itsuki is actually a quintuplet, so in addition to teaching her, he must tutor her sisters – Miku, Yotsuba, Nino and Ichika – who, despite the very real threat of failing, want nothing to do with a tutor. However, their family’s livelihood is at stake, so Uesugi presses on, steadfast in his resolve to rid the sisters of their aversion to studying and successfully lead them to graduation.
