Presque mariés, loin d'être amoureux

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.

Best rom com anime of all type i SWEAR TO GOD I NEED SEASON 2 AHHH. THIS ANIME IS PEAK AS HELL like bro character development is kool its also really funny but the thing is i need season 2 otherwise me sad lol but yes 100 percent worth watching top notch anime fr . Too good to be real after watching this u would want to go reincarnate into akari san's world crazy anime i am delulu lululululoolooo ok so yes 200 more words to right top notch notch top best peak op anime i need season 2 man when they gonna release it bro do it just studio oof bro i hope new season soon this is peak anime i love it.

I could see this for the hundredth time and still not get bored, i'm into this anime like crazy every episode got me inversed in height senses, more than the average love ecchi combined for more too me as much this is unraveled in all i've seen so far this is by a trillion miles better more mature more breath taking than ones i've feed my lovely eyes with and the little feed them plot where u don't know what you get is the biggest bomb of all i'll call it hiroshima, anime this was truly more than a married couple. Am obsessed more than just an animeAm obsessed more than just an animeAm obsessed more than just an anime.

I just finished watching the show, I have got to say, I loved it. Sure there are some improvements that the show could work on, but that is the same situation for all shows, no show is perfect. Like a lot of people keep saying, the MC could use some character development and he could stop getting embarrassed all the time. But other than that I loved the story, it's kinda unique, the art style is adorable and the characters are pleasant to watch, I love the romance in it and enjoyed watching the cliches. I recommend that you give it a shot if you haven't seen it yet. Looking forward to season 2!

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.
