▍Story
High school student Futaro Uesugi (上杉 風太郎) is an academically gifted student that leads a difficult life — his mother has died, he has no friends, and on top of all that, his father has incurred a large amount of debt.
An opportunity presents itself when the rich Nakano family transfers to his school. Futaro is promptly hired as a highly-paid tutor. However, much to Futaro’s dismay, he discovers that his five charges — identical quintuplet sisters of varied personalities — have no interest in studying at all and abysmal grades.
Some of the quintuplets are against having Futaro, whom they view as a stranger, in their apartment, but Futaro’s diligent tenacity gradually convinces those girls to accept him and to improve their grades.
▍Manga Serialization Ends
The serialization of original manga comes to an end today (19th February) at Weekly Shōnen Magazine. A visual is posted on Haruba’s official Twitter to celebrate the news. A colored version of the manga will also start serialization on manga app, Magazine Pocket, on 26th February 2020.
