The Quintessential Quintuplets (五等分の花嫁)

I was having a dream.

Please wake up, sir.

Your bride has finished her preparations.

I had a dream of that dream-like day when I met you...

Grilled Beef Set.

With no grilled beef.

Coming right up!

The cheapest dish in this cafeteria is thought be rice, but that's wrong.

If you minus the 200 yen grilled beef from the Grilled Beef Set,

you get miso soup and pickles for the price of rice alone.

And free refills on water. I love the student cafeteria!

Uesugi-kun's alone again.

How sad!

Huh?

That's not our uniform.

Wait, how did this happen?

I was here first. The next seat over is open.

Move there!

This is where I sit every day. You move over.

Oh, look. Uesugi-kun's eating with a girl.

Whoa, you serious?

Tsk. Those guys...

Her face's all red.

Why push yourself so far?

Udon noodles, 250 yen.

Two shrimp tempura, 300 yen.

Squid tempura, 100 yen.

Chicken tempura, yam tempura,

plus pudding for dessert?!

Over 1,000 yen on lunch? What are you, a celebrity?!

Well, do whatever you want.

Thank you for the food.

That's not very good manners.

You're studying while eating?

I'm reviewing my test. Leave me alone.

Really, you must be in quite a tight spot.

What was your score?

Oh, hey!

Umm, Futaro Uesugi. Your score is...

A-A hundred?!

Isn't this...

Gosh, am I embarrassed!

You showed me this on purpose!

I hate to admit it,

but studying is not my specialty, so I do envy you.

Oh, yes!

Since we're sharing the same table, why don't you teach me?

Thank you for the meal.

Huh?! You finished eating already?

Is that skimpy meal all you're going to eat for lunch?

Would you like me to share some of mine?

You're the one who has too much actually.

You'll get fat.

Fa...

I've never met anyone so insensitive as you!

I won't give you anything now!

"Eating alone again? Call me!"

We'll be out of debt?

Dad's found a good part-time job!

Seems like a rich family that recently moved

is looking for a tutor for their daughter.

A tutor?

An at-home, fun workplace.

Plus, it's five times the average pay!

Sounds like an under-the-table job to me.

They say people can stay alive even with one kidney.

Y-You're telling me to do it?!

I'm just kidding!

But now we can eat till our stomachs' full!

Right, Big Bro?

Oh.

So, what kind of person is this daughter?

She's in high school,

and I heard she's transferring into the same school as you.

Her name was Nakano...

I'm Itsuki Nakano. Nice to meet you.

I know this girl.

The transfer student's a chick!

She's pretty cute!

Isn't that Black Rose's uniform?

Seriously? She's super rich!

A transfer student and rich.

That means it's her.

H-Hi.

Hmph!

Nice to meet you.

Th-This is bad.

Here's your Grilled Beef Set with no grilled beef!

I screwed up yesterday.

But if I get turned away by her,

my tutoring job will disappear.

I must find a way to redeem myself...

I came, because I wanted to share a table with you again.

Not only to share lunch, but of course to study too.

Oh, my!

It's perfect!

I'm sorry for the wait.

She's eating with friends...

I'm sorry, all the seats are full.

Hey, you! You're just going to walk away?

I bet you're after Itsuki-chan, huh?

I'm not exactly after her.

Oh, so it really is Itsuki-chan?!

Wow, what made you want to go for her?

Her serious character? I bet you like that.

Oh yeah, I'll go call her for you.

Wait!

It's none of your business.

I'll take care of my own problems myself.

You say some pretty manly stuff for a nerd!

Ask me, Big Sis Ichika, for help if you have any trouble!

Since it sounds fun too!

"Big Sis"?

We're in the same grade...

I think.

But what a problem.

I'll have to face her after school today

- as her new tutor. -Uesugi-san.

- Before that... -Uesugi-san?

Uesugi-san!

You finally looked up.

Wh-Who are you?! H-How do you know my name?

I'm glad you asked!

Did you drop this test of one hundred points?

Or this test of zero points?

My test? Why do you...?

That's because...

At that moment...

this happened.

And I noticed.

That's why!

So, which is it?

The right.

Wow, aren't you honest!

I'll give you both as a set!

I don't want both.

Whose zero-point test is this anyway?

It's mine.

I'm surprised you'd want to give this out!

My first impression of you was that you're glum and probably a loner,

but I'll add that you're a genius too now!

That was fast!

How long are you going to follow me?!

I haven't gotten a thank you yet.

Huh?

You thank whoever picks up something you dropped.

You're a genius, but you don't even know that?

I happened to pick this up.

Now we're even.

Oh, I see! Thank you so much!

She just thanked me...

I thought she'd be alone on her way home, but...

Itsuki, aren't you overeating?

Really?

This is only my second one.

You steamed bun monster!

Kn-Knock it off!

You'll never get a boyfriend!

That's none of your business!

Can't even get a moment to apologize.

Are you having fun by yourself?

Oh...

S-Somewhat.

This is my hobby.

Hmm.

A hobby of staring at high school girls...

A potential pervert.

Can you not report me, please?

And don't tell your friend, Itsuki-chan.

Fine.

But... she's not my friend.

Huh?

Uhh...

Is... this it?

She's a straight-up rich girl.

I'm not mistaken... right?

Erk!

What are you, a stalker? If you need something, I'll hear it.

It's useless talking to you guys.

You're persistent.

I bet you don't get many girls.

Go on home!

Home? This is my home.

Oh, you serious? Sorry...

Grilled Beef Set with no grilled beef.

Are you on a diet?

Huh?

Hey, you!

I knew it!

There she is!

This is my last chance to talk to her!

Please let me make it!

Ugh!

This is all her fault!

The stress of being thrown by a stranger's mood!

Why I'm running drenched in sweat in a place like this after school...

Why I got caught by those weirdos...

Everything!

Everything's...

her fault.
