Fuutarou Uesugi is an ace high school student, but leads an otherwise tough life. His father is debt-ridden, forcing his family to scrape by. One day, he is presented with a golden opportunity to clear his family’s debt: being a private tutor for the 5 identical daughters of a wealthy family — Itsuki, Miku, Yotsuba, Nino, and Ichika. None of them are particularly devoted to studying. 5tobun no Hanayome started as a manga and has 2 anime seasons and a movie.

5tobun takes place mostly in Nagoya and wider Aichi Prefecture, with an important trip to Osaka. The school is modeled after Nihon Fukushi University, Tokai Campus.
