Synopsis of Gotoubun no Hanayome

Fuutarou Uesugi is an excellent high school student, but he has a difficult life. His aloof personality and reclusive nature have left him friendless, and his father is in debt, forcing his family to fight for survival. One day during lunch break, Uesugi gets into an argument with a transfer student who has claimed “his place,” causing them to dislike each other. That same day, he comes across a golden opportunity to pay off his family’s debt: a job as a private tutor for the daughter of a wealthy family, with a salary five times the market rate. He accepts the offer, but is horrified to discover that the client, Itsuki Nakano, is the girl he confronted earlier!

After unsuccessfully trying to get Itsuki's approval, Uesugi discovers that his problems don't end there: Itsuki is actually a quintuplet, so in addition to her, he must also tutor her sisters: Miku, Yotsuba, Nino, and Ichika. "Who, despite the very real threat of failing, want nothing to do with a tutor. However, his family's livelihood is at stake, so Uesugi presses on, steadfast in his determination to rid his sisters of their hatred for studies and successfully lead them to graduation.
