Fuutarou Uesugi is an ace high school student, but leads an otherwise tough life. His standoffish personality and reclusive nature have left him friendless, and his father is debt-ridden, forcing his family to scrape by. One day during his lunch break, Uesugi argues with a female transfer student who has claimed "his seat," leading both of them to dislike each other. That same day, he is presented with a golden opportunity to clear his family's debt: a private tutoring gig for a wealthy family's daughter, with a wage of five times the market price. He accepts the proposal, but is horrified to discover that the client, Itsuki Nakano, is the girl he confronted earlier. After unsuccessfully trying to get back on Itsuki's good side, Uesugi finds out that his problems don't end there: Itsuki is actually a quintuplet, so in addition to her, he must also tutor her sisters-Miku, Yotsuba, Nino, and Ichika-who, despite the very real threat of flunking, want nothing to do with a tutor. However, his family's livelihood is on the line so Uesugi pushes on, adamant in his resolve to rid the sisters of their detest for studying and successfully lead them to graduation.

Today and Kyoto's Tough Luck and Togetherness

The flu Futaro had caught during the school camp has sent him to hospital, where he discovers his inspection doctor is someone whom he has met before. The five quintuplets all visit the ill Futaro, with Itsuki bringing a luck charm hoping for a speedy recovery. Futaro is then reminded that the girl he met six years ago in the Kyoto trip also bought similar looking ones, which makes him begin to suspect that the young girl he met in Kyoto is one of the five quintuplets. The other day, when Futaro arrives for a tutoring session, he encounters a towel-clad quintuplet. She runs away, throwing a bag of failed exams at him. Futaro ceases to identity the culprit, realizing how hard it is to tell the five apart. Despite the eventual success of finding the culprit Ichika, Futaro still struggles to tell the quintuplets apart. Despite that, his main focus is still to figure out which quintuplet was the young girl he met six years ago in Kyoto.

Sekirei

2 Seasons
You've seen a million shows where heroes go toe-to-toe, now feast your eyes only the only anime where hot girls with super powers settle their differences chest-to-chest. Minato had no luck with the ladies until the day a well-rounded warrior babe named Musubi fell into his life and crushed his face with her ginormous cleavage. Hunted by a stunning pair of twin sisters, Musubi was searching for the right guy to give her a squeeze and unlock the hidden powers lurking beneath her ample assets. Minato fit the bill, and now he's caught in the middle of a supernatural slugfest where voluptuous vixens take turns beating each others' clothes off. Only one of these bodacious brawlers will come out on top, but the unbridled excitement of watching them go at it makes this utterly-fulfilling series the breast action-harem anime of all time.
