Futaro Uesugi is a high achieving high school student but his life isn't easy as his family is short of money. When the Nakano Quintuplets arrive at his school he has an opportunity to earn some money; there family is wealthy but they are academic underachievers and their father wants them tutored. Unfortunately the girls have little interest in study and some of them are less than keen on having a boy in their home. Over the course of the series he gradually gains their trust and their grades start to improve... but will they improve by enough for him to keep his job.
This is a fairly cute harem series; the opening clearly implies that Faturo will ultimately marry one of the girls but doesn't identify which. Futaro is a good central character; there is never anything deliberately inappropriate about his behaviour although as is always the case with the genre there are some misunderstandings. The five girls are also likeable and thanks to different hairstyles usually easy to distinguish. There isn't too much in the way of fan service which I found refreshing. Overall I'd definitely recommend this to fans of the genre.
These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
