The Quintessential Quintuplets (五等分の花嫁)

I was having a dream...

Please wake up, groom.

The bride is ready.

A dream of the unbelievable day that brought us together.

Barbecue beef combo.

Without beef.

Sure thing.

You'd think the cheapest item on this cafeteria's menu would be rice, but no.

Barbecue Beef Combo

Rice Miso Soup Pickled Vegetables

Subtract 200 yen for the beef from the barbecue beef combo,

and you get rice plus miso soup and pickled veggies for the price of rice.

You get free, unlimited water, too.

School cafeteria for the win.

Uesugi-kun's on his own again.

Oh, man.

Yo, who's that?

Someone's sitting with Uesugi?

That never happens!

She isn't wearing our uniform...

Wait, how did this even happen?

I got here first.

The next table over is available.

Move, please.

This is where I sit every day.

You move.

Look, Uesugi-kun's having lunch with a girl.

For real? Yikes!

Tch. Those stupid...

She's all red.

No one forced you, you know.

Udon for 250 yen.

Two shrimp tempura for 150 each.

Squid tempura for 100.

Chicken tempura.

Yam tempura.

And a pudding dessert to top it off!

Yen

Yen

Over 1,000 yen on lunch? What are you, filthy rich?!

Well, do as you like.

Time to eat.

Mind your manners.

Studying in the middle of lunch?

I'm reviewing my exam.

Leave me alone.

You must be pretty screwed.

What did you get?

H-Hey!

Let's see, Uesugi Futaro-kun.

You scored...

O-One hundred?!

Is this real?

Oh, man, that's embarrassing.

You showed me this on purpose!

I hate to admit it, but I'm not great at studies.

I envy you.

I know!

Lady Luck brought you to my table! You should help me study!

Thank you for the meal.

You're done eating already?!

Are you really full?

Shall I share some of mine?

If anything, you ordered way too much.

You'll gain weight.

Gain...

I've never met anyone so insensitive!

I'm not giving you anything!

Uesugi Raiha

Are you eating alone again? Call me ^o^

We can clear our debt?

Dad found a good part-time job.

A rich family moved in just recently,

and they're looking for a tutor for their daughter.

A tutor?

A fun, homely workplace.

And they're paying five times the market price.

Uh, that sounds really sketchy.

I heard people can get by on just one kidney.

Y-You're telling me to give one up?!

I'm kidding.

But now you can eat a bellyful,

Onii-chan.

So what's this daughter like?

She's in high school.

They said she's transferring to your school.

Her name is, uh, Nakano...

Nakano Itsuki.

Pleased to meet you.

I know this girl!

The transfer student's a girl?

She's actually cute.

That uniform's from Kurobara Girls' School, isn't it?

Seriously? She must be rich as hell!

A rich transfer student?

So she's the one?

H-Hey.

Nice to meet you.

U-Uh oh.

Here you go. Barbecue beef combo without the beef.

I messed up yesterday,

but if that transfer student rejects me,

I lose my tutoring opportunity.

I have to get back on her good side.

I'm back. I wanted to sit beside you again.

Of course, not just for lunch, but for studying, too.

Oh, my!

Perfect.

Thanks for waiting.

She's eating with her friends.

I'm sorry, but this table is full.

Hey, you. Leaving just like that?

You're after Itsuki-chan, aren't you?

I'm not after her.

What? So it is Itsuki-chan?

What was it about her that got you?

How proper she is? You do seem like you'd be into that.

I know, I'll go get her.

Wait.

I don't need your help.

My problems are my own to figure out.

That's pretty manly, coming from a studyholic.

You can come to your Big Sis Ichika if you ever need help.

I bet this is going to be fun.

"Big Sis"? What?

We're in the same year.

I think.

This is bad, though.

I'm meeting her as her tutor today, after school.

Uesugi-san.

I must fix this by then.

Uesugi-san!

Uesugi-san!

You finally looked up.

Wh-Wh-Who are you?

Wh-Why do you know my name?

That's an excellent question.

Did you happen to lose an exam paper with a perfect score?

Or was it this one with a zero?

My exam paper? Why do you have it?

Well, you see...

Back then,

that happened,

I noticed...

And now, here we are.

So, which one is it?

The right.

Wow, you're so honest.

I shall grant you both.

I don't need it.

And who even scored a zero?

I did.

And you felt like giving it to me?

My first impression of you was that you're a gloomy loner,

but I'll also add "genius" to that.

That was fast.

Will you stop following me?!

You still haven't thanked me.

When someone picks something up for you, you say "thank you."

How could you not know this? Aren't you a genius?

I happened to find this.

Now we're even.

Ah.

Thank you.

She actually went and thanked me.

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

Welcome to the Home of the Daibutsu

Ohtagawa

I think you're eating too much, Itsuki.

Am I?

This is still my second one.

You meat bun monster!

S-Stop it!

You won't be popular with guys!

None of your business!

I can't get a chance to apologize.

Are you having fun by yourself?

I-It's not bad.

This is my hobby.

I see.

Staring at high school girls is your hobby?

Calling in support.

Please don't report me.

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

Fine.

But...

She's not my friend.

I-Is this the place?

She's legit rich.

This is the right address, I think.

What are you, a stalker?

You can talk to me if you want something.

I won't get anywhere asking you two.

You're so persistent.

People don't like you, do they?

Go home already.
