About this title

Synopsis

Considered a genius, high school student Fuutarou Uesugi excels at studying and obtains a perfect score on every test. Due to his intense focus in that regard, he is a reclusive person with no friends. Additionally, he lives in a tight financial state as a result of family debts. Fuutarou's mundane lifestyle is interrupted when Itsuki Nakano, a new transfer student, contests him for his usual lunch seat. After a short altercation, Fuutarou emerges victorious by insulting Itsuki's eating habits, which angers her enough to leave. However, when Fuutarou learns that he has been offered the private tutor position of a wealthy family's academically hopeless daughters, he immediately regrets his prior encounter. It turns out that the beneficiaries of his tutoring are none other than Itsuki and her four identical siblings: the shy Miku, the cheerful Yotsuba, the devious Nino, and the mature Ichika! Teaching these quintuplets may prove more difficult for Fuutarou than he initially expected, as the last thing they want to do is seriously study. Now, Fuutarou must face the various challenges of tutoring five beautiful yet eccentric girls. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

She also has good manners, to the point where she cares a lot about manners. She has never been late or skipped a class, and always speaks polite language. Itsuki has been seen to be a girl who holds a grudge, this is shown when she rejects Fuutarou Uesugi's teaching, in part, due to their earlier dispute. She is also someone who cannot be honest with herself and has a hard time being more direct. Both of these qualities often make her fight alone. Itsuki is often too precise in the timing of food cooking. Itsuki sometimes tends to be a crybaby, whether it's due to unfavorable situations, scary things, or her stubborn self. Itsuki has a large appetite and is mainly seen eating throughout the series. It seems like she doesn't mind treating her sisters unfairly when it comes to things related to food. When Itsuki proposes to share their cakes, Ichika suspects that his real goal is to try all the flavors. Itsuki worries about Fuutarou, but it's really because he's hungry. According to Ichika, Fuutarou has to be firm to deal with Nino and kind to deal with Itsuki. (Source: 5Ttoubun no Hanayome Wiki)
