The story features a poor high school student who ends up tutoring the Nakano daughters, the five quintuplets of a rich family. The manga is written and illustrated by Negi Haruba. Gotoubun was the first time Haruba had a serialized manga where he handled both roles, and he hit the jackpot.

The game’s genre is described as an ADV, meaning it’ll be what we call visual novels outside Japan. In particular, the game is a Galge, visual novels focused on romancing girls. The game features an original story, set on an uninhabited island where the protagonist Futaro Uesugi (voiced by Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, Kirito in SAO) and the Nakano quintuplets are stranded for two weeks. While’s it not officially confirmed yet, the game will definitely have at least five endings, one for each quintuplet.
