Fuutarou Uesugi's efforts as the Nakano quintuplets' private tutor are finally paying off.

The undecided young man promises to make a decision by the end of the school festival. However, Fuutarou's task will not be easy, as the Nakano sisters pull out all the stops to win his heart before it is too late. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
