== Synopsis ==
{{See also|List of The Quintessential Quintuplets characters{{!}}List of ''The Quintessential Quintuplets'' characters}}
High-school student Futaro Uesugi is an academically gifted student who leads a difficult life—his mother has died, he has no friends, and on top of all that, his father has incurred a large amount of debt.

An opportunity presents itself when the rich Nakano family transfers to his school. Futaro is promptly hired as a highly-paid tutor. However, much to Futaro's dismay, he discovers that his five charges—identical [[quintuplet]] sisters of varied personalities—have no interest in studying at all and have abysmal grades. Some of the quintuplets are against having Futaro, whom they view as a stranger, in their apartment, but Futaro's diligent tenacity gradually convinces those girls to accept him and improve their grades.

Throughout the series, Futaro develops special relationships with each of the quintuplets. Although Futaro usually harbors no romantic feelings for any of the sisters at all, it is revealed through a flashback that he eventually marries one of them, but her true identity is only revealed near the end of the series. Thus Futaro and the quintuplets' happy relationship will continue on forever.

== Production ==
The outline for a story about "a group of [[quintuplet]]s falling in love with the same person" existed even before the serialization of Haruba's previous work, ''Karma of Purgatory'' (2014–2015), but was rejected by his editor-in-charge. A year later, as ''Karma of Purgatory'' was finishing, Haruba pitched various ideas to the editor, and the "quintuplets" concept was accepted. This was not without some reservations, as it had been viewed negatively in two to three of the serialization committees, so it was decided to have a one-shot manga published first. Said concerns were ultimately unfounded as the one-shot received positive reviews, and so was approved to become a serial.<ref name="livedoor">{{cite web|script-title=ja:5分の4の読者に嫌われる覚悟で。『五等分の花嫁』春場ねぎが語る、ヒロイン創作秘話|url=https://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/17065762/|website=Livedoor News|language=ja|date=September 17, 2019|access-date=July 8, 2020|archive-date=January 16, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210116095427/https://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/17065762/|url-status=live}}</ref>

Haruba finished drawing the last chapter on February 10, 2020.<ref name="magapoke">{{cite magazine|script-title=ja:完結記念座談会！ 春場先生と担当編集が『五等分の花嫁』のすべてを振り返る|url=https://pocket.shonenmagazine.com/article/entry/gotohbun_20200224|magazine=Magazine Pocket|publisher=[[Kodansha]]|language=ja|date=February 24, 2020|access-date=December 13, 2020|archive-date=November 1, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201101105449/https://pocket.shonenmagazine.com/article/entry/gotohbun_20200224|url-status=live}}</ref> 

=== Characters ===
From the beginning, the initial idea was for the protagonists to be quintuplets, and although there were suggestions for the idea of [[quadruplets]] and [[sextuplets]] raised, it was rejected very quickly. 
When designing each of the quintuplets, He was inspired by 15 to 20 of his favorite existing female characters, as "some slice-of-life works only with girls".
As the characters were quintuplets, Haruba wanted a way to make them memorable to the reader (similar to how colour was used in ''[[Super Sentai]]'')  with Ichika (yellow), Nino (purple), Miku (blue), Yotsuba (green), and Itsuki (red), and just as the design was almost confirmed he had the idea of adding numbers in their names.<ref name="livedoor"/>

The hair colour of the Nakano quintuplets is different when being coloured, which was suggested by Haruba himself, such that they are more distinguishable from each other. The hair colour of the bride in the flashforward is, therefore, a colour-in-between.<ref name="livedoor"/>

=== Story ===
The flashforward showing that Futaro will eventually marry only one of the Nakano quintuplets was added in order to eliminate the possibility of Futaro marrying all five of them. It was also decided that all quintuplets would have negative feelings towards Futaro from the beginning, because Haruba wanted to write how their relationships improved from hate to love in the story, except Yotsuba, who acts as Futaro's guide for the development of the story.<ref name="livedoor"/>

While it is often the norm for [[harem (genre)|harem]] [[romantic comedy]] manga to have sexualized depictions of characters, Haruba has said that he tried to avoid this to some extent after Vol. 1. <ref name="livedoor"/> In his opinion, showing [[panties]] which are being worn, i.e. ''[[panchira]]'', makes characters less mysterious and then less interesting to the readers. To keep the characters interesting, the sexy scenes were intended by him to be ambiguous but not straightforward, leading to readers' imagination. The [[swimsuit]] appearance of the Nakanos was finally revealed in Ep. 92 as Haruba thought an episode of swimsuits should exist before finishing the story.<ref name="livedoor"/>

=== Critical response ===
''The Quintessential Quintuplets'' received positive reviews, most notably for its [[romantic comedy]] and [[Harem (genre)|harem]] elements.<ref name="voices-cm" /> Paul Jensen of ''[[Anime News Network]]'' found the series enjoyable and rated a 4 out of 5 to the series, as he commented, "The jokes are funny, the characters range from tolerable to likable, the fanservice doesn't go overboard, and there's no creepy or obnoxious plot point to spoil the party. There's nothing revolutionary about it, but it does a lot of basic things well without showing any major flaws, and that's enough to make this premiere good clean (well, clean-ish) fun."<ref name="comment"/> Patrick Frye of ''Monsters And Critics'' noted that there was "little to no ecchi shenanigans or degrading fan service and the girls move beyond the initial stereotypes and become fleshed-out characters that create a fun dynamic with the main character, Futaro Uesugi. Audiences are tired of watching a lucky everyman stumble his way through unlikely scenarios. Instead, Futaro's no-nonsense attitude wins the day." Kyle Rogacion of ''Goomba Stomp'' praised the plot of the anime but criticized its art style and fanservice gags.<ref>{{cite web|first=Kyle|last=Rogacion|title=Winter 2019 Anime Staff Viewer's Guide|url=https://www.goombastomp.com/winter-2019-anime-staff-viewers-guide/|website=Goomba Stomp|date=February 3, 2019|access-date=February 22, 2019|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190222204631/https://www.goombastomp.com/winter-2019-anime-staff-viewers-guide/|archive-date=February 22, 2019|df=mdy-all}}</ref> The series has a current score of 4.6 out of 5 stars on [[Crunchyroll]] as of November 2020.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Quintessential Quintuplets|url=https://www.crunchyroll.com/the-quintessential-quintuplets|website=[[Crunchyroll]]|access-date=February 22, 2019|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190222072207/https://www.crunchyroll.com/the-quintessential-quintuplets|archive-date=February 22, 2019|df=mdy-all}}</ref>
