Fuutarou Uesugi is a poor, antisocial ace student who one day meets rich transfer student Itsuki Nakano. They get on each other's nerves, and part ways on bad terms. But when Fuutarou realises that, by tutoring her up until graduation, he could provide for his struggling family, he immediately goes about trying to patch things up between them. While undertaking this task, he meets four other girls, later revealed to be Itsuki's quintuplet sisters, in the process.
''The Quintessential Quintuplets'' is a manga series by Haruba Negi, serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine starting from 2017. It was then licensed by Kodansha USA for a North American release, with the first volume coming in June 2018.
The manga received an anime adaptation in the Winter 2019 season.
Compare ''Manga/WeNeverLearn'', a Weekly Shōnen Jump manga that started the same year and shares a similar premise.
Has a [[Characters/GoToubunNoHanayome Characters page]].
----
!!''Go-Toubun No Hanayome'' provides examples of:
* AdaptationDyeJob: As the manga art shows, the sisters share their hair color, albeit with each one having a slightly different shade. The anime adaptation instead gives the girls distinctly different hair colors.
* AllPeriodsArePMS: {{Subverted|Trope}}. In Chapter 57, when Fuutarou demanded to know why Itsuki was missing from one of their study sessions, her sisters hinted that it was because of this trope. The implied explanation, however, completely flew over his head because the only girl he really interacted with before the Nakanos was his 11-year-old sister. By the time Yotsuba got the nerve to spell it out for him, Nino cut in and told him the actual truth: [[spoiler:[[DueToTheDead Itsuki visits their mother's grave]] once a month on the 14th, the anniversary of her passing.]]
* AlwaysInClassOne: Chapter 69, in which Fuutarou and the Nakano sisters advance to year 3, puts the lot of them all in class 3-1.
* BaitAndSwitch:
** The [[FestivalEpisode Festival Arc]], which [[spoiler:starts with Fuutarou gathering the girls (and his sister Raiha) to the spot where they will see the fireworks in an hour. The plot then switches primarily to Ichika (and Miku) and her aspirations to have a career in the entertainment industry]].
** Chapter 13 seemingly starts off the arc focusing on Yotsuba (who still doesn't have her own arc yet) and her unwillingness to say no when Fuutarou is on a task of getting the girls contacts, [[spoiler:and while she has been offered to join the basketball club, Yotsuba actually declined on her own, ending that arc in one chapter]].
** The end of Chapter 17 [[spoiler:has Miku sleepwalking to her room, where Fuutarou is sleeping on her bed.]] Chapter 18? [[spoiler:Fuutarou noticed her just in time, and averting that misunderstanding. Later on, he uses another misunderstanding to make amends with Itsuki (with the two of them having had a fight earlier) with both of them pretending that Itsuki is actually Miku]].
** The Second Year Last Exam Arc would have given Yotsuba the most focus due to being the least intelligent of the five (with even their father mentioning about that aspect. Come to that arc, [[spoiler:Yotsuba is the second character featured and it ends with her passing. And the bigger twist is that Ichika managed to score the highest of the quintuplets, torpedoing Miku's determination of wanting to confess to Fuutarou.]]
** The last chapter of the Second Year Last Exam Arc shattered the previous switch, [[spoiler:where the bait is Nino reveals to Fuutarou she passed mid-chapter (whereas everybody else have their test scores shown at the end of the chapter) and the switch is Nino openly states that she's in love with Fuutarou]].
* BigDamnKiss: At the end of the Scrambled Eggs arc, [[spoiler:one of the quintuplets tackles Fuutarou to the ground and plants one of these on his lips. Because all of them were dressed as Itsuki at the time, Fuutarou has no clue which quintuplet kissed him]].
* BigFancyHouse: The Nakanos all live in a high-rise apartment, but theirs has two floors with individual bedrooms for each of the sisters.
* BlandNameProduct: In episode 1, Itsuki pays for Fuutarou's taxi fare with a "Viza" credit card.
* CampStraight: Ichika's manager (who jokingly flirted with Fuutarou after Ichika's acting gig is finished), turns out to have a daughter that he raises alone (his wife had an affair and left them).
* ContinuityNod: Nino at one point mentions that she always dreamed of getting swept off her feet by a PrinceCharming, complete with dances and a horseback ride. [[spoiler:She already asked "Kintarou" to dance with her during the school festival, and in Volume 7, Fuutarou comes to her on motorbike and chooses to ride with him in a similar way to her fantasies.]]
* ContrivedCoincidence: The start of the Scrambled Eggs arc [[spoiler:starts with Fuutarou winning his family a trip to an onsen, then he met with quintuplets and their father, who also won the same trip]]. The end of the arc reveals that [[spoiler:only Fuutarou actually won the contest, the quintuplets' father instead fabricated tickets to create an excuse to let the quintuplets visit their ailing grandfather, who is the innkeeper]].
* DeliberatelyCuteChild: Raiha, who knows how to use her expressions to convince people to follow her lead (like Fuutarou and Itsuki).
* DoItYourselfThemeTune: The opening theme of the anime is sung by the quintuplets' voice actresses.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The differences between the oneshot and the pilot chapter (which are mostly the same except for the major differences noted below):
** In the pilot, Miku does not have her headphones, and has her hair styled rather differently, sporting GirlishPigtails instead. Raiha's hair is slightly shorter, whereas Yotsuba introduces herself to Fuutarou by showing off her panties. Fuutarou is also able to catch up with Itsuki when she's coming up the elevator, rather than running up 30 floors to meet her like he does in the pilot.
** The Fanservice elements, where after the first volume the scenes are now rarely used.
* EnvironmentalSymbolism: Chapter 28, [[spoiler:when Ichika & Fuutarou are trapped in the storage, her avoidance towards one of the solutions (hitting the sound alarm) is exact to her own heart trying to calm herself when she's with Fuutarou. At the end of the chapter where Ichika got saved by Fuutarou from being hit by a falling log, her heart beats strongly as the sound alarm, signifying that she has fallen for him]].
* FestivalEpisode: The bulk of Volume 2 has the main cast going to the Summer Festival together.
* FirstNameBasis: Justified for Fuutarou when he is addressing the Nakanos, since he's their tutor, and thus hangs out with them closely when studying together; whereas some of the Nakanos (such as Ichika and Miku) call him by his first name after becoming closer to him. [[spoiler:When Itsuki substituted Ichika when they went skiing for their last day in the Field Trip, her calling Fuutarou 'Uesugi' keyed him in that she's not Ichika when telling everybody to find her]].
** [[spoiler:In Chapter 62, Nino begins addressing Fuutarou by his first name, something which Miku immediately picks up upon hearing. Given Nino's prior hostility and contempt towards Fuutarou, Miku is naturally flustered at this sudden development and asks what happened between them. Nino replies that they've known each other for more than six months, and would justify being on more cordial terms]].
* FissionMailed: [[spoiler:Fuutarou's quest to gather the girls for the fireworks event actually failed due to Ichika's audition clashing with the event. Though after her audition, Fuutarou is able to reunite her with her sister and had a small firework event by themselves, with even Nino thanking him for his efforts]].
* FlashForward: These are scattered across the story to give readers quick glimpses at [[spoiler:Fuutarou's wedding to one of the quintuplets]].
* ForegoneConclusion: In a sense, given that sometime in the future [[spoiler:Fuutarou will eventually end up marrying a Nakano girl.]] What is left ambiguous, however, [[spoiler:is ''exactly which one of the quintuplets'' he will marry - even with the girl herself having her face shown to the readers.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: During the car ride to the school trip, the group plays the Quintuplet Game, where one person shows part of a finger and the rest have to guess which one it is, using the girls' names for the fingers (Ichika = thumb, Nino = index, Miku = middle, Yotsuba = ring, and Itsuki = pinky). [[spoiler:When the girls all hold Fuutarou's hand while he's sick during the bonfire, each one is holding the finger that they were named after earlier.]]
* ForgottenFirstMeeting: Five years ago, during a trip to Kyoto, [[spoiler:Fuutarou took a photograph together with one of the Nakanos]]. But due to [[spoiler:his photograph having faded and Fuutarou sporting a delinquent look back then where his hair was blond]], neither of them recognize each other in the present.
* GeckoEnding: Not the series itself. But for the story [[spoiler:where Fuutarou talks about how he met the girl in the past, the story ends with aliens from Planet Shogi invading the National Diet, calling out the best shogi players to fight for the Earth]].
* HotSpringsEpisode: A part of Chapter 24 has the Nakanos going to one. [[spoiler:Since nothing out of the ordinary happens, it ends in just a few pages of fanservice.]]
* HowWeGotHere: The first chapter has Fuutarou meeting all the Nakano quintuplets for the first time, and shows that [[spoiler:he is going to end up marrying one of them in the future]].
* IdenticalTwinMistake: When Fuutarou and the Nakanos all end up in class 3-1 together, it's shown in chapter 70 that their classmates are even worse at telling the quintuplets apart than Fuutarou is. This leads to situations like a pair of girls trying to bring one of the sisters to a teacher and grabbing the wrong one by mistake (three times in a row!), or other students asking Fuutarou to pass a message/item to a quint that's standing right next to him.
* IHaveThisFriend: In chapter 61, Fuutarou and Miku talk gossip when going shopping, they used this excuse on what's going on between them.
* {{Kimodameshi}}: In the Field Trip, where Fuutarou (aided by Yotsuba) eagerly holds one to give the students the fright of their lives [[spoiler:for dumping the responsibility on him of organising it while he was self-studying in class.]]
* LateForSchool: Chapter 19 has Fuutarou and the Nakanos late for school. [[spoiler:This ordinarily wouldn't be that bad, if it wasn't the day of the mid-term examinations. When they (except for Yotsuba) ended up being late for school, the girls managed to enter without getting into trouble by some strategic thinking. Fuutarou is not so lucky.]]
* LIsForDyslexia: At least two cases are apparent with the Nakano sisters, Yotsuba and Itsuki (which bothers the latter, since she actually tries to study).
* LoveAtFirstSight: Nino for Kintarou, [[spoiler:who is actually Fuutarou when he's forced to find her & Itsuki who went to the wrong side of the Kimodameshi path. Moreover, after he saved her from falling from a cliff, Nino decided to invite him for a dance in the Bon festival]].
* MatchmakerCrush: [[spoiler:After the Summer Festival arc is over, Ichika deduces that Miku has feelings for Fuutarou, and so tries to set them up together. However, later interactions with Fuutarou then cause Ichika to start falling for him as well.]]
* MeaningfulTitles:
** Seven Goodbyes focuses on the goodbyes in this arc. Starting with [[spoiler:Rena to Fuutarou, Nino to her past, Nino to Kintarou, Yotsuba to the track team, Fuutarou to his job, Fuutarou to Rena and the quintuplets to their home]].
** Scrambled Eggs focused on Fuutarou's mental state and the plot, given that at the start [[spoiler:he's still affected by Nino's confession, seeing the quintuplets again during the Family Trip, the quintuplets suddenly having some reservations with him, Itsuki appearing everywhere at Fuutarou's hotel, Itsuki suddenly wanted to break off their partnership to Fuutarou and the caretaker of the hotel is Itsuki's grandfather]].
* MetaphoricallyTrue: In Chapter 20, when talking to her father about the midterm exam results, [[spoiler:in which all the sisters failed to gain a passing grade,]] Nino states she and her sisters passed all five subjects. This isn't technically wrong, but not entirely true, either. [[spoiler:What actually entailed was, that all of the sisters each passed one of five subjects - maths for Ichika, English for Nino, social studies for Miku, Japanese for Yotsuba, science for Itsuki. Their father believes this, which saves Fuutarou from being fired as their tutor.]]
* MinimalistCast: While there are some side characters that Fuutarou interacts with, most of the time the series only gives the attention of Fuutarou & the Nakanos, with Raiha appearing now and there (even then she has started to appear less often if the plot doesn't need her existence).
* MissingMom: Both Fuutarou and the Nakano sisters' mothers are stated to have died before the start of the series.
* OddCouple: The poor, book-smart Fuutarou with the rich, academically-challenged Nakanos.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
** Fuutarou being rather hyper on the first day of the Field Trip, seeing as he hardly went to one.
** In-Universe example with Nino when Fuutarou [[spoiler:is Kintarou, where just minutes after meeting each other Nino is charmed by Kintarou to the point of inviting him to dance the Bon Festival with him]].
* PerpetualPoverty: Fuutarou, his younger sister Raiha, and their father live in destitute conditions. Their father drinks milk a week past its expiry date, and Fuutarou makes an offhand comment about anyone how knocking at their door is presumably a debt collector. Then there's his EstablishingCharacterMoment; which has the series begin with Fuutarou explaining in great detail how he can get the best deal on school lunch for the cheapest possible price, showing just how economically-minded he is in everyday life. [[spoiler:Flash forward to Fuutarou's wedding, their economic situation hasn't really improved much even with Fuutarou having a job]].
* PottyEmergency: In Chapter 54, at the grocery store, Yotsuba suddenly runs off to go to the bathroom, prompting Nino to ask her if she had been holding it in again.
* PragmaticAdaptation: In the manga's FlashForward scenes, [[spoiler:Fuutarou's bride]] has a couple of lines of spoken dialogue. However, because [[spoiler:the quintuplets all have distinctive voices]] in the anime adaptation, these scenes are rendered in animation with [[spoiler:the bride's voice unheard by the audience]] and her lines being shown as subtitles instead. This was done in order to preserve [[spoiler:the mystery of the bride's identity]] and prevent the audience from [[spoiler:identifying her via her voice]].
* RedHerring:
** In a FlashForward, Fuutarou mentions that his wife held his hand when he was sick. Time comes to show him sick following the festival, and who holds his hand? ''All'' the quintuplets.
** At the start of the Scrambled Eggs arc, a legend holds that a couple who rings the "Bell of Vows" will be bound together for eternity. In a FlashForward at the end of the arc, Fuutarou recalls that he did ring the bell with his wife. Indeed, [[spoiler:one of the quintuplets pushed him to the ground and gave him a BigDamnKiss, causing him to grab the bell's rope and inadvertently ring it. Which quintuplet kissed Fuutarou is left ambiguous, as all of them were dressed as Itsuki at the time]].
* RightInFrontOfMe: At the end of Chapter 70, students in his class on separate occasions ask Fuutarou to pass a message/item to Miku and Ichika respectively... completely unaware that's she's standing right next to him.
* SecondYearProtagonist: Fuutarou is one, as are the Nakano sisters, with the five of them having just [[NewTransferStudent transferred]] from ''Kurobara'' (Black Rose) High School. All of them move up to the third year in Chapter 69.
* ShoutOut: At the start of Chapter 22, Yotsuba gets frightened by Fuutarou wearing a scary clown mask in preparation for the upcoming Test of Courage. His get-up, in general, is a homage to Hirose Shun and Kouta Sannomiya's 3 volume series ''Seishun Soukanzu'' (The mangaka worked with the former on their first serialized series, ''Rengoku no Karma'').
* SickEpisode: A part of Chapter 23 focuses on Fuutarou taking care of an ill Raiha.
* SpiritualAntithesis: Compared with ''Anime/OsomatsuSan'', both sets of siblings are unmistakably unmotivated, but their ways of handling it are remarkably different. Whereas in ''-San'' the overly cartoony Matsuno sextuplets had a relatively normal high school life until they burned out in their 20s for whatever reason, the more realistic Nakano quintuplets of ''Go-Toubun'' are ''in'' their high school years and struggling to pass, with the goal of the series explicitly being preventing them from becoming burnouts in adulthood. Whereas the brothers rely too much on their dependence on others (both to their parents and to each other) and would forcibly maintain the status quo to keep that dependence, the sisters are independent from the get go, with only one [[spoiler:(Nino)]] having the same reasoning as Osomatsu. Also keep in mind that Totoko (their reluctant ChildhoodFriend) only fell for the sextuplets when they were in their F6 forms, whom all are much more like the Nakanos in concept: friendly, attractive, distinct, and talented, but with their own little problems on the side. Also keep in mind that their love interest, Fuutarou, is willing to take an active interest in getting them to be respectable or at the very least pass high school, while Totoko would rather let them wallow in the same misery she's in.
* TooGoodToBeTrue: Fuutarou's initial suspicion of the tutoring gig his little sister tells him his dad got for him. The Client will pay at five times the going rate. It later turns out it's because Fuutarou got hired to tutor all ''five'' Nakano sisters.
* TooMuchAlike: Zigzagged with Nino and Itsuki, who have the most similarities between any of the sisters. While this means that usually they're the two that get along with each other the best, one of these similarities is that they're also the two most stubborn and prideful of the quintuplets, resulting in the two of them arguing with each other the most as well. [[spoiler:The entire Seven Goodbyes Arc is kicked off by a massive clash between the two, and Itsuki's comments through the arc imply that they've had similarly fierce arguments in the past.]]
* {{Tsundere}}: While Itsuki starts off as one (more so because of Fuutarou's harsh attitude towards her), she is utterly overshadowed by Nino, who sports even stronger characteristics of this attitude towards Fuutarou in comparison.
* TwinSwitch: As the Nakanos sisters are quintuplets, this is a given.
** Chapter 4, [[spoiler:had Miku disguised herself as Yotsuba to confuse Fuutarou for a while]].
** Chapter 10 albeit unintentionally, [[spoiler:when Miku changes her hairstyle because of a suggestion, she got mistaken as Ichika by her manager]].
** Chapter 16, [[spoiler:using her voice, Nino disguised as Itsuki discovered that there is a bet between Fuutarou and their father.]]
** Chapter 18, [[spoiler:Itsuki tried to disguised herself as Miku to resolve the tension between her and Fuutarou, but Fuutarou saw through it since he found Miku slept in the same bed as him. Later, Fuutarou decided to pretend Itsuki is Miku and resolve their issues]].
** Chapter 19 [[spoiler:has Fuutarou even devise a tactic based on this - when all of them (excluding Yotsuba) are going to be late for the exam - by having the girls disguise themselves as Yotsuba in order to get into class without rousing the anger of their student counselor for being late]].
** Chapter 22, [[spoiler:Miku disguised as Ichika to help her dissuade Maeda from inviting her to dance with him]].
** Chapter 27, [[spoiler:though not really as switch but just Ichika impersonating her sisters in front of Fuutarou]].
** Chapter 29, [[spoiler:Itsuki disguised as Ichika to learn more about Fuutarou]].
** Chapter 40, [[spoiler:have Miku impersonate Nino to have her and Fuutarou break into Nino's accommodation. Later Miku does it again with wearing Nino's ribbons]].
** Chapter 41, [[spoiler:have one of the quintuplets impersonating Rena to break Fuutarou out of his shell]]
** Chapter 46 [[spoiler:have Fuutarou have Itsuki impersonate Yotsuba to make her quit the training camp.]]
** Chapter 47, [[spoiler:unfortunately the plan doesn't work, then Yotsuba came...and intimidate the club to stop seeing her as a pushover. Turns out the Yotsuba we see is Nino who cut her hair short]].
** The Scrambled Eggs arc features all of the quintuplets dressed up as Itsuki in order to appease their grandfather. [[spoiler:Miku uses this opportunity to tell Fuutarou that she wished to break off their relationship as mentor and student, but did not have the guts to also tell him that she was doing so because she wanted to elevate herself in his eyes as a potential girlfriend. This leads Fuutarou to spend the entirety of the arc trying to figure out which quintuplet spoke to him and what her motivations were. He only manages to figure out the former by the end of the arc.]]
* WhamEpisode:
** In-Universe for Itsuki where after spending a night together at the inn on the Field Trip, [[spoiler:the next morning she saw one of her sisters nearing in Fuutarou while he was sleeping]].
** Chapter 32 for the fans, [[spoiler:where it cuts off to Fuutarou's wedding in the future and stating that the chapter is at the finale. Though here it is an April Fool joke that connects the wedding to the current story]].
** Chapter 41, [[spoiler:where the girl Fuutarou met 5 years ago appeared before him again]].
** Chapter 60, [[spoiler:where Nino confesses her love to Fuutarou in front of him... and Ichika overhears.]]

Fuutarou Uesugi is a poor, antisocial ace student who one day meets rich transfer student Itsuki Nakano. They get on each other's nerves, and part ways on bad terms. But when Fuutarou realises that, by tutoring her up until graduation, he could provide for his struggling family, he immediately goes about trying to patch things up between them. While undertaking this task, he meets four other girls, later revealed to be Itsuki's quintuplet sisters, in the process.
''The Quintessential Quintuplets'' is a manga series by Haruba Negi, serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine starting from 2017. It was then licensed by Kodansha USA for a North American release, with the first volume coming in June 2018.
The manga received an anime adaptation in the Winter 2019 season.

----
!!''Go-Toubun No Hanayome'' provides examples of:
* AdaptationDyeJob: As the manga art shows, the sisters share their hair color, albeit with each one having a slightly different shade. The anime adaptation instead gives the girls distinctly different hair colors.
* AllPeriodsArePMS: {{Subverted|Trope}}. In Chapter 57, when Fuutarou demanded to know why Itsuki was missing from one of their study sessions, her sisters hinted that it was because of this trope. The implied explanation, however, completely flew over his head because the only girl he really interacted with before the Nakanos was his 11-year-old sister. By the time Yotsuba got the nerve to spell it out for him, Nino cut in and told him the actual truth: [[spoiler:[[DueToTheDead Itsuki visits their mother's grave]] once a month on the 14th, the anniversary of her passing.]]
* AlwaysInClassOne: Chapter 69, in which Fuutarou and the Nakano sisters advance to year 3, puts the lot of them all in class 3-1.
* BaitAndSwitch:
** The [[FestivalEpisode Festival Arc]], which [[spoiler:starts with Fuutarou gathering the girls (and his sister Raiha) to the spot where they will see the fireworks in an hour. The plot then switches primarily to Ichika (and Miku) and her aspirations to have a career in the entertainment industry]].
** Chapter 13 seemingly starts off the arc focusing on Yotsuba (who still doesn't have her own arc yet) and her unwillingness to say no when Fuutarou is on a task of getting the girls contacts, [[spoiler:and while she has been offered to join the basketball club, Yotsuba actually declined on her own, ending that arc in one chapter]].
** The end of Chapter 17 [[spoiler:has Miku sleepwalking to her room, where Fuutarou is sleeping on her bed.]] Chapter 18? [[spoiler:Fuutarou noticed her just in time, and averting that misunderstanding. Later on, he uses another misunderstanding to make amends with Itsuki (with the two of them having had a fight earlier) with both of them pretending that Itsuki is actually Miku]].
** The Second Year Last Exam Arc would have given Yotsuba the most focus due to being the least intelligent of the five (with even their father mentioning about that aspect. Come to that arc, [[spoiler:Yotsuba is the second character featured and it ends with her passing. And the bigger twist is that Ichika managed to score the highest of the quintuplets, torpedoing Miku's determination of wanting to confess to Fuutarou.]]
** The last chapter of the Second Year Last Exam Arc shattered the previous switch, [[spoiler:where the bait is Nino reveals to Fuutarou she passed mid-chapter (whereas everybody else have their test scores shown at the end of the chapter) and the switch is Nino openly states that she's in love with Fuutarou]].
* BigDamnKiss: At the end of the Scrambled Eggs arc, [[spoiler:one of the quintuplets tackles Fuutarou to the ground and plants one of these on his lips. Because all of them were dressed as Itsuki at the time, Fuutarou has no clue which quintuplet kissed him]].
* BigFancyHouse: The Nakanos all live in a high-rise apartment, but theirs has two floors with individual bedrooms for each of the sisters.
* BlandNameProduct: In episode 1, Itsuki pays for Fuutarou's taxi fare with a "Viza" credit card.
* CampStraight: Ichika's manager (who jokingly flirted with Fuutarou after Ichika's acting gig is finished), turns out to have a daughter that he raises alone (his wife had an affair and left them).
* ContinuityNod: Nino at one point mentions that she always dreamed of getting swept off her feet by a PrinceCharming, complete with dances and a horseback ride. [[spoiler:She already asked "Kintarou" to dance with her during the school festival, and in Volume 7, Fuutarou comes to her on motorbike and chooses to ride with him in a similar way to her fantasies.]]
* ContrivedCoincidence: The start of the Scrambled Eggs arc [[spoiler:starts with Fuutarou winning his family a trip to an onsen, then he met with quintuplets and their father, who also won the same trip]]. The end of the arc reveals that [[spoiler:only Fuutarou actually won the contest, the quintuplets' father instead fabricated tickets to create an excuse to let the quintuplets visit their ailing grandfather, who is the innkeeper]].
* DeliberatelyCuteChild: Raiha, who knows how to use her expressions to convince people to follow her lead (like Fuutarou and Itsuki).
* DoItYourselfThemeTune: The opening theme of the anime is sung by the quintuplets' voice actresses.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The differences between the oneshot and the pilot chapter (which are mostly the same except for the major differences noted below):
** In the pilot, Miku does not have her headphones, and has her hair styled rather differently, sporting GirlishPigtails instead. Raiha's hair is slightly shorter, whereas Yotsuba introduces herself to Fuutarou by showing off her panties. Fuutarou is also able to catch up with Itsuki when she's coming up the elevator, rather than running up 30 floors to meet her like he does in the pilot.
** The Fanservice elements, where after the first volume the scenes are now rarely used.
* EnvironmentalSymbolism: Chapter 28, [[spoiler:when Ichika & Fuutarou are trapped in the storage, her avoidance towards one of the solutions (hitting the sound alarm) is exact to her own heart trying to calm herself when she's with Fuutarou. At the end of the chapter where Ichika got saved by Fuutarou from being hit by a falling log, her heart beats strongly as the sound alarm, signifying that she has fallen for him]].
* FestivalEpisode: The bulk of Volume 2 has the main cast going to the Summer Festival together.
* FirstNameBasis: Justified for Fuutarou when he is addressing the Nakanos, since he's their tutor, and thus hangs out with them closely when studying together; whereas some of the Nakanos (such as Ichika and Miku) call him by his first name after becoming closer to him. [[spoiler:When Itsuki substituted Ichika when they went skiing for their last day in the Field Trip, her calling Fuutarou 'Uesugi' keyed him in that she's not Ichika when telling everybody to find her]].
** [[spoiler:In Chapter 62, Nino begins addressing Fuutarou by his first name, something which Miku immediately picks up upon hearing. Given Nino's prior hostility and contempt towards Fuutarou, Miku is naturally flustered at this sudden development and asks what happened between them. Nino replies that they've known each other for more than six months, and would justify being on more cordial terms]].
* FissionMailed: [[spoiler:Fuutarou's quest to gather the girls for the fireworks event actually failed due to Ichika's audition clashing with the event. Though after her audition, Fuutarou is able to reunite her with her sister and had a small firework event by themselves, with even Nino thanking him for his efforts]].
* FlashForward: These are scattered across the story to give readers quick glimpses at [[spoiler:Fuutarou's wedding to one of the quintuplets]].
* ForegoneConclusion: In a sense, given that sometime in the future [[spoiler:Fuutarou will eventually end up marrying a Nakano girl.]] What is left ambiguous, however, [[spoiler:is ''exactly which one of the quintuplets'' he will marry - even with the girl herself having her face shown to the readers.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: During the car ride to the school trip, the group plays the Quintuplet Game, where one person shows part of a finger and the rest have to guess which one it is, using the girls' names for the fingers (Ichika = thumb, Nino = index, Miku = middle, Yotsuba = ring, and Itsuki = pinky). [[spoiler:When the girls all hold Fuutarou's hand while he's sick during the bonfire, each one is holding the finger that they were named after earlier.]]
* ForgottenFirstMeeting: Five years ago, during a trip to Kyoto, [[spoiler:Fuutarou took a photograph together with one of the Nakanos]]. But due to [[spoiler:his photograph having faded and Fuutarou sporting a delinquent look back then where his hair was blond]], neither of them recognize each other in the present.
* GeckoEnding: Not the series itself. But for the story [[spoiler:where Fuutarou talks about how he met the girl in the past, the story ends with aliens from Planet Shogi invading the National Diet, calling out the best shogi players to fight for the Earth]].
* HotSpringsEpisode: A part of Chapter 24 has the Nakanos going to one. [[spoiler:Since nothing out of the ordinary happens, it ends in just a few pages of fanservice.]]
* HowWeGotHere: The first chapter has Fuutarou meeting all the Nakano quintuplets for the first time, and shows that [[spoiler:he is going to end up marrying one of them in the future]].
* IdenticalTwinMistake: When Fuutarou and the Nakanos all end up in class 3-1 together, it's shown in chapter 70 that their classmates are even worse at telling the quintuplets apart than Fuutarou is. This leads to situations like a pair of girls trying to bring one of the sisters to a teacher and grabbing the wrong one by mistake (three times in a row!), or other students asking Fuutarou to pass a message/item to a quint that's standing right next to him.
* IHaveThisFriend: In chapter 61, Fuutarou and Miku talk gossip when going shopping, they used this excuse on what's going on between them.
* {{Kimodameshi}}: In the Field Trip, where Fuutarou (aided by Yotsuba) eagerly holds one to give the students the fright of their lives [[spoiler:for dumping the responsibility on him of organising it while he was self-studying in class.]]
* LateForSchool: Chapter 19 has Fuutarou and the Nakanos late for school. [[spoiler:This ordinarily wouldn't be that bad, if it wasn't the day of the mid-term examinations. When they (except for Yotsuba) ended up being late for school, the girls managed to enter without getting into trouble by some strategic thinking. Fuutarou is not so lucky.]]
* LIsForDyslexia: At least two cases are apparent with the Nakano sisters, Yotsuba and Itsuki (which bothers the latter, since she actually tries to study).
* LoveAtFirstSight: Nino for Kintarou, [[spoiler:who is actually Fuutarou when he's forced to find her & Itsuki who went to the wrong side of the Kimodameshi path. Moreover, after he saved her from falling from a cliff, Nino decided to invite him for a dance in the Bon festival]].
* MatchmakerCrush: [[spoiler:After the Summer Festival arc is over, Ichika deduces that Miku has feelings for Fuutarou, and so tries to set them up together. However, later interactions with Fuutarou then cause Ichika to start falling for him as well.]]
* MeaningfulTitles:
** Seven Goodbyes focuses on the goodbyes in this arc. Starting with [[spoiler:Rena to Fuutarou, Nino to her past, Nino to Kintarou, Yotsuba to the track team, Fuutarou to his job, Fuutarou to Rena and the quintuplets to their home]].
** Scrambled Eggs focused on Fuutarou's mental state and the plot, given that at the start [[spoiler:he's still affected by Nino's confession, seeing the quintuplets again during the Family Trip, the quintuplets suddenly having some reservations with him, Itsuki appearing everywhere at Fuutarou's hotel, Itsuki suddenly wanted to break off their partnership to Fuutarou and the caretaker of the hotel is Itsuki's grandfather]].
* MetaphoricallyTrue: In Chapter 20, when talking to her father about the midterm exam results, [[spoiler:in which all the sisters failed to gain a passing grade,]] Nino states she and her sisters passed all five subjects. This isn't technically wrong, but not entirely true, either. [[spoiler:What actually entailed was, that all of the sisters each passed one of five subjects - maths for Ichika, English for Nino, social studies for Miku, Japanese for Yotsuba, science for Itsuki. Their father believes this, which saves Fuutarou from being fired as their tutor.]]
* MinimalistCast: While there are some side characters that Fuutarou interacts with, most of the time the series only gives the attention of Fuutarou & the Nakanos, with Raiha appearing now and there (even then she has started to appear less often if the plot doesn't need her existence).
* MissingMom: Both Fuutarou and the Nakano sisters' mothers are stated to have died before the start of the series.
* OddCouple: The poor, book-smart Fuutarou with the rich, academically-challenged Nakanos.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
** Fuutarou being rather hyper on the first day of the Field Trip, seeing as he hardly went to one.
** In-Universe example with Nino when Fuutarou [[spoiler:is Kintarou, where just minutes after meeting each other Nino is charmed by Kintarou to the point of inviting him to dance the Bon Festival with him]].
* PerpetualPoverty: Fuutarou, his younger sister Raiha, and their father live in destitute conditions. Their father drinks milk a week past its expiry date, and Fuutarou makes an offhand comment about anyone how knocking at their door is presumably a debt collector. Then there's his EstablishingCharacterMoment; which has the series begin with Fuutarou explaining in great detail how he can get the best deal on school lunch for the cheapest possible price, showing just how economically-minded he is in everyday life. [[spoiler:Flash forward to Fuutarou's wedding, their economic situation hasn't really improved much even with Fuutarou having a job]].
* PottyEmergency: In Chapter 54, at the grocery store, Yotsuba suddenly runs off to go to the bathroom, prompting Nino to ask her if she had been holding it in again.
* PragmaticAdaptation: In the manga's FlashForward scenes, [[spoiler:Fuutarou's bride]] has a couple of lines of spoken dialogue. However, because [[spoiler:the quintuplets all have distinctive voices]] in the anime adaptation, these scenes are rendered in animation with [[spoiler:the bride's voice unheard by the audience]] and her lines being shown as subtitles instead. This was done in order to preserve [[spoiler:the mystery of the bride's identity]] and prevent the audience from [[spoiler:identifying her via her voice]].
* RedHerring:
** In a FlashForward, Fuutarou mentions that his wife held his hand when he was sick. Time comes to show him sick following the festival, and who holds his hand? ''All'' the quintuplets.
** At the start of the Scrambled Eggs arc, a legend holds that a couple who rings the "Bell of Vows" will be bound together for eternity. In a FlashForward at the end of the arc, Fuutarou recalls that he did ring the bell with his wife. Indeed, [[spoiler:one of the quintuplets pushed him to the ground and gave him a BigDamnKiss, causing him to grab the bell's rope and inadvertently ring it. Which quintuplet kissed Fuutarou is left ambiguous, as all of them were dressed as Itsuki at the time]].
* RightInFrontOfMe: At the end of Chapter 70, students in his class on separate occasions ask Fuutarou to pass a message/item to Miku and Ichika respectively... completely unaware that's she's standing right next to him.
* SecondYearProtagonist: Fuutarou is one, as are the Nakano sisters, with the five of them having just [[NewTransferStudent transferred]] from ''Kurobara'' (Black Rose) High School. All of them move up to the third year in Chapter 69.
* ShoutOut: At the start of Chapter 22, Yotsuba gets frightened by Fuutarou wearing a scary clown mask in preparation for the upcoming Test of Courage. His get-up, in general, is a homage to Hirose Shun and Kouta Sannomiya's 3 volume series ''Seishun Soukanzu'' (The mangaka worked with the former on their first serialized series, ''Rengoku no Karma'').
* SickEpisode: A part of Chapter 23 focuses on Fuutarou taking care of an ill Raiha.
* SpiritualAntithesis: Compared with ''Anime/OsomatsuSan'', both sets of siblings are unmistakably unmotivated, but their ways of handling it are remarkably different. Whereas in ''-San'' the overly cartoony Matsuno sextuplets had a relatively normal high school life until they burned out in their 20s for whatever reason, the more realistic Nakano quintuplets of ''Go-Toubun'' are ''in'' their high school years and struggling to pass, with the goal of the series explicitly being preventing them from becoming burnouts in adulthood. Whereas the brothers rely too much on their dependence on others (both to their parents and to each other) and would forcibly maintain the status quo to keep that dependence, the sisters are independent from the get go, with only one [[spoiler:(Nino)]] having the same reasoning as Osomatsu. Also keep in mind that Totoko (their reluctant ChildhoodFriend) only fell for the sextuplets when they were in their F6 forms, whom all are much more like the Nakanos in concept: friendly, attractive, distinct, and talented, but with their own little problems on the side. Also keep in mind that their love interest, Fuutarou, is willing to take an active interest in getting them to be respectable or at the very least pass high school, while Totoko would rather let them wallow in the same misery she's in.
* TooGoodToBeTrue: Fuutarou's initial suspicion of the tutoring gig his little sister tells him his dad got for him. The Client will pay at five times the going rate. It later turns out it's because Fuutarou got hired to tutor all ''five'' Nakano sisters.
* TooMuchAlike: Zigzagged with Nino and Itsuki, who have the most similarities between any of the sisters. While this means that usually they're the two that get along with each other the best, one of these similarities is that they're also the two most stubborn and prideful of the quintuplets, resulting in the two of them arguing with each other the most as well. [[spoiler:The entire Seven Goodbyes Arc is kicked off by a massive clash between the two, and Itsuki's comments through the arc imply that they've had similarly fierce arguments in the past.]]
* {{Tsundere}}: While Itsuki starts off as one (more so because of Fuutarou's harsh attitude towards her), she is utterly overshadowed by Nino, who sports even stronger characteristics of this attitude towards Fuutarou in comparison.
* TwinSwitch: As the Nakanos sisters are quintuplets, this is a given.
** Chapter 4, [[spoiler:had Miku disguised herself as Yotsuba to confuse Fuutarou for a while]].
** Chapter 10 albeit unintentionally, [[spoiler:when Miku changes her hairstyle because of a suggestion, she got mistaken as Ichika by her manager]].
** Chapter 16, [[spoiler:using her voice, Nino disguised as Itsuki discovered that there is a bet between Fuutarou and their father.]]
** Chapter 18, [[spoiler:Itsuki tried to disguised herself as Miku to resolve the tension between her and Fuutarou, but Fuutarou saw through it since he found Miku slept in the same bed as him. Later, Fuutarou decided to pretend Itsuki is Miku and resolve their issues]].
** Chapter 19 [[spoiler:has Fuutarou even devise a tactic based on this - when all of them (excluding Yotsuba) are going to be late for the exam - by having the girls disguise themselves as Yotsuba in order to get into class without rousing the anger of their student counselor for being late]].
** Chapter 22, [[spoiler:Miku disguised as Ichika to help her dissuade Maeda from inviting her to dance with him]].
** Chapter 27, [[spoiler:though not really as switch but just Ichika impersonating her sisters in front of Fuutarou]].
** Chapter 29, [[spoiler:Itsuki disguised as Ichika to learn more about Fuutarou]].
** Chapter 40, [[spoiler:have Miku impersonate Nino to have her and Fuutarou break into Nino's accommodation. Later Miku does it again with wearing Nino's ribbons]].
** Chapter 41, [[spoiler:have one of the quintuplets impersonating Rena to break Fuutarou out of his shell]]
** Chapter 46 [[spoiler:have Fuutarou have Itsuki impersonate Yotsuba to make her quit the training camp.]]
** Chapter 47, [[spoiler:unfortunately the plan doesn't work, then Yotsuba came...and intimidate the club to stop seeing her as a pushover. Turns out the Yotsuba we see is Nino who cut her hair short]].
** The Scrambled Eggs arc features all of the quintuplets dressed up as Itsuki in order to appease their grandfather. [[spoiler:Miku uses this opportunity to tell Fuutarou that she wished to break off their relationship as mentor and student, but did not have the guts to also tell him that she was doing so because she wanted to elevate herself in his eyes as a potential girlfriend. This leads Fuutarou to spend the entirety of the arc trying to figure out which quintuplet spoke to him and what her motivations were. He only manages to figure out the former by the end of the arc.]]
* WhamEpisode:
** In-Universe for Itsuki where after spending a night together at the inn on the Field Trip, [[spoiler:the next morning she saw one of her sisters nearing in Fuutarou while he was sleeping]].
** Chapter 32 for the fans, [[spoiler:where it cuts off to Fuutarou's wedding in the future and stating that the chapter is at the finale. Though here it is an April Fool joke that connects the wedding to the current story]].
** Chapter 41, [[spoiler:where the girl Fuutarou met 5 years ago appeared before him again]].
** Chapter 60, [[spoiler:where Nino confesses her love to Fuutarou in front of him... and Ichika overhears.]]
