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.

8/10
+ Unique premise; story beats and characters subvert expectations of genre
+ Avoids negatives often seen in genre; favors positive cliches over drama, tropes, or fan service
- Too many characters affect pacing in a negative way
- Ending can be argued as decisive due to uneven character development

The Quintessential Quintuplets contains many ingredients that make it a strong contender in the buddy love genre. With strong character work, cute designs, and the avoidance of cheesy drama, tropes, and distasteful fan service, it’s one of the best Shonen romance has to offer.

Mixed Feelings
TL:DR
Great writing and charming characters but it can't quite live up to the premise of five equal love interests and suffers from a very rushed ending. Mixed Recommendation

Story: 6/10
Well paced for the first ~80%. There's a long section at the start where there's little to no romcom shenanigans and I wish more manga slowed down at the start to give us a chance to get to know the characters outside of a romantic context.

The author gave themselves herculean task trying to develop six distinct main characters (the sisters + Uesugi) and, for the most part, they manage to pull it off. They manage to portion ...

This review has no spoilers. I'd like to save you the trouble of reading this manga if you're on the fence about it, and I can't reasonably do that if I deter you from wanting to read this review to avoid spoilers.

There's a very good reason this series is so well-renowned, and that reason comes in the form of roughly the first 80-100 chapters of the series. The protagonist and the two of the five sisters who play the most pivotal roles in the story are all exceptionally well-designed, each going through remarkable personal growth over the course of the story. Romance is a key ...
