More Than a Married Couple, But Not Lovers

This anime series is centred on two high school students; Jiro Yakuin and Akari Watanabe. He is a shy and retiring boy who has feelings for Shiori Sakurazaka; she is an extrovert who fancies Minami Tenjin, the school idol. As part of a school programme to train people to live as couples students are paired and have to live together for some time. Jiro is less than impressed to be paired with Akari. They are told that those who get on best will be able to switch partners; something they both want. As the time passes they become closer to each other; but will it be more than friendship by the time the programme ends.

This series could so easily have been sleazy but it turned out to be surprisingly sweet. The characters are likeable and develop nicely as the series progresses. There is inevitably some fan service but it is mild enough that there isn't any obvious censorship, which detracts from many shows. The central premise is clearly a bit unlikely... having students living in boy/girl pairs would be a disaster waiting to happen, but as a hook for the story it works. The story provides plenty of laughs and an enjoyable element of romance as we wonder who characters will ultimately get together with. Overall I'd certainly recommend this one; I hope we get a second series to resolve unanswered questions.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

First off, the overall storyline is decent and interesting which is why I kept watching hoping for something interesting to happen.

Cons:

• The MC can get quite boring. He needs some character development as another reviewer suggested. He really thinks he's SO pathetic. It's almost depressing.

• Every single episode is the MC's "wife" consistently taking digs at him and teases him in sexual ways. She has mixed feelings which is fine, but there's not much character development for either side so it gets pretty annoying/boring.

-Lots of fan service. Like a lot. That got annoying after a while as well.

I would probably not recommend to a friend unless things drastically change in the last 2 episodes (if it goes to 12).

This anime features a dynamic love issue where people are forced to act as married couples to pass there school. This creates odd situations and amazing moments which help feel like you are there. This Anime will make you not want to leave and sadly it is short, hopefully a season 2 can be made and there are plenty of mangas out for it. As of making this there are 62 manga books. I would Highly recommend this to anyone and the people In this are amazing... Apart from one. But you can watch and find out yourself on how amazing this anime is by watching it on crunchy role. Hopefully a second season will be published!

I must say that it is more successful than other series in its genre There is always a tug-of-war between the characters that makes the story more interesting There are twists and turns during the story that make your heart skip a beat, of course, that's what this genre of series does.

The story of a girl and a boy who don't like each other and over time talk more and end up falling in love with each other is not new, what makes this story interesting is secrets and words. That cannot be said to each other.

I must say that the character of the characters could be deeper and their past was also used in the series.

But if we want to draw a general conclusion, I have to say that this series has managed to do its job well.

This anime is god damn good, I don't know about other viewers, but I really hoping to see sequal of this anime, I'm really hyped about 2nd season after watching only 3 episodes of first season btw I think protagonist need some character development, that guy easily flustered in any situation. Give him 5 percentage of Chad uniq skill, if u use 5 percentage of Chad skill on protagonist only god knows how much this anime will grow, i think this anime is lacking something like nature view i mean outside their home and school if u add side seeing that would be great and female protagonist she's just awesome actually a perfect, that's all for now.
