The Quintessential Quintuplets

 It's a bit of a strange reason I started watching this series: sheer luck in a music opening quiz game on YouTube.

So as MAL has it as a stream on the site, I decided to go for this romance harem anime.

Uesugi Fuutarou gets a job tutoring five sisters, but he quickly learns that the five times the pay comes with five times the trouble with the quintuplets.  But as it helps paying off the debt of his father, he decides to go for it.  So he now finds himself tutoring the five Nakano sisters.

While they turn out to be all five potential flunkers, he knows he has his job cut out for him as he needs to get to know, and convince, each of them on getting to study harder.  In order to do that, he needs to play to every strength and intrests of each and every one of them, wether it is historical warlords or XXX.  All the while Nino, one of the sisters and the leader of the group, refuses to accept him.  Until they go to an arcade and later the fireworks with Uesugi's younger sister Raiha, who causes a bit of bonding with Itsuki and the other sisters.

However, each of the girls is developping a crush on him in various degrees, and handling it differently.  When the midterm exams come up, their father informs him that each of the girls must pass or he will be fired, so he has to get them to study and focus.  They do fail, but Nino convinces her father to keep him on.

It is later shown that apparently in his youth years, he has been in love with one of the quintuplets, though it doesn`t show which one just yet, as back then they looked identical going by their childhood memories pictures.  When he goes on school camp with the girls, they all get to know each other better and talk about their feelings... though it isn`t revealed which of the siblings he ends up marrying though in the end... nor which one it was in the picture.

BTW, I would pick Ichika...

 

Definitly an enjoyable, innocent series, which is sometimes a nice break of more action packed series.
