A-and they're all gorgeous girls, but they're also troublemakers who hate to study and are on the verge of flunking out! And his first task is simply gaining the sisters' trust?! Every day is a party! The curtain is rising on the Nakano quintuplets' quirky romantic comedy with five times the cute!!
Negi Haruba launched the original manga Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine in August 2017, and ended the series in February 2020.
