Synopsis

Koushi Inuzuka is a smart high school student who aims to become a public prosecutor. Unfortunately for our good guy, he was born into a martial arts family whose head (ie his father) only knows one language: violence. When Koushi was still a baby, his father made a pact with his biggest rival to marry Koushi to his opponent-turned-friend's daughter. The union of the two blood lines is supposed to bring forth Earth's strongest martial arts clan.

Skip forward: Koushi is in high school, oblivious to the marriage arranged for him at his birth. Enter Momoko Kuzuryuu: sugar bomb, airhead, loli martial arts artist and Koushi's self-proclaimed bride (the strongest on Earth, no less). Her wish for sexual intercourse meets with Koushi's square refusal as he has absolutely no desire to get it on with someone who looks like she could be his little sister, not to mention that he doesn't have the foggiest idea who she actually is.

Meanwhile, a war has broken out between the martial arts families. For Koushi, this means that numerous fighters are out to challenge/assassinate him. As if that weren't bad enough, our protagonist also has a fight phobia due to a traumatic incident that took place in his childhood. Now it's up to Momoko and her superhuman fighting skills to protect her "husband." Will the two sweethearts survive the trials and tribulations ahead of them? More importantly, will Momoko get her way receiving a baby from Koushi?

Holy shit. When a series throws ecchi and slapstick comedy at you for 20 episodes straight and then gives you a dramatic, tear jerking ending... your brain explodes and you're just left speechless. I had to think a while to decide what kind of a review I was going to give this series, more importantly I wasn't sure on the rating. I could give it a 9 for pulling off such an incredible combination or I could give it a 3 for being absolutely ludicrous. I decided to give it a 9, read on to find out why.

First of all, this series should be ... listed under the Hentai category. It starts off in the weirdest way possible. The female lead, Momoko is an innocent looking girl who aspires to become the world's top martial artist. She fails to master a certain technique and what's her father's solution to that? To find the world's strongest man and make babies who will later become the world's most powerful martial artists. Her reply? "HAI!"

What follows then is a series of absolutely the wackiest scenes you will ever see in an anime series. I guarantee you that. Momoko finally finds her man, Inuzuka Koushi, and after a set of even whackier scenes wins his father's approval for a marriage. She then prepares a makeshift bed and asks Koushi to make love to her and Koushi promptly refuses. Yeah and this is only the very beginning of the very first episode.

As it turns out, Koushi's father and Momoko's father have made an arrangement when they were born and that arrangement was to have Momoko and Koushi marry. Soon the whole thing comes into picture as we learn that Momoko and Koushi both belong to greatly respected martial arts famillies and their marriage was arranged to produce the world's strongest martial arts clan. Koushi however is not a martial artist but rather a weak, though intelligent, person who is not interested in violence in the slightest.

Barely 2 episodes later we already know most of the main characters and the true over top craziness begins. Koushi takes on the role of the stereotypical sex symbol and every girl around him literally begs him for sex. I'm not trying to be funny either, this is what actually happens in this anime. I'm only giving you a heads up, discretion is advised. There's not a single episode where Momoko doesn't stun us with lines like " I need your juice" or " Rock me sensless ". The rest of the main female cast, Iroha and Sanae is no better. It's like they're ready to do anything for Koushi without hesitation. Indeed, the meeting of Iroha and Koushi is sure to give even the most experienced romance/ ecchi connoisseur the nosebleed of his life. And this anime will bombard you with these type of sexual and more often than not perverted scenes episode after an episode, scene after scene. Interestingly enough, the girls are the only ones who are being naughty here as the male lead, though attractive, has absolutely no sexual drive or interest in any things sexual. He's more of a selfish self-centered bookworm more concerned with his studies than anything else.

The rest of the male cast is not even worth mentioning, they're only there to be jealous of Koushi and his female fanclub. None of them are given an episode and even though we are given some background information on them, they're so shallow and plot-insignificant they could have just as well been removed from the anime and you wouldn't even notice it.

The series progresses like this, with occasional serious or dramatic moments, up until episode 20 and that's when the seriousness and drama starts. All I'm going to say about the ending is that it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It could have been a lot more satisfying but it wasn't bad. As many reviewers have already mentioned and I mentioned it myself too, Koushi is a bit of a prick with an attitude problem, especially with the way he treats women. Unfortunatelly that doesn't change in the end and it's just one of those things that annoys the hell out of you.

The sound and art are both good. I have no complains in this department. The design on the girls and the male lead are perfect and the slapstick comedy oftenly involves scaled down chibi versions of the main characters which worked pretty good and didn't ruin the overall feel of the series. Voice acting was convincing and not once did it feel out of place, likewise the opening and ending songs were very good.

All in all this series makes a great job at taking all these ingredients together - ecchi, romance, comedy, harem and even drama and a slight bit of seriousness - and mixes them and produces a truly great anime series. This will be going into my favourite anime list and I will be rewatching this series in the not so distant future. And that is the reason why I gave it a 9 and that's the reason why I personally recommend this series to anyone reading this review.

Mixed Feelings

Warning possible Spoilers

Being a Martial Artist person myself I was actually interested in seeing where this would go, but after 22 gruelling episodes I was just meet with disappointment and quickly forgot this one.

The story begins with the fathers of Momoko Kuzuryuu and Koushi Inuzuka who made a deal that their kids would get married, but when the time came for this Koushi wasn't exactly on board and now his life was about to become very different from his usual days.
Now the story was pretty disappointing to watch not because it was boring or even annoying it just didn't turn out the way I thought ... it would, I did like the diversity of the Martial artist families that would show up from time to time and the whole meaning of what it means to be a martial artist, but what really annoyed me was the chemistry between Momoko and Koushi now to be honest it's pretty much Koushi's fault really because he is unlikable as hell which I'll get to in a minute, the pacing was pretty meh as well even it was fillers with some story episodes as well it just didn't mix well for me and I just couldn't get interested often.

The characters were really a mixed bunch, the male characters weren't really likeable, but the female characters weren't too bad and were pretty much what kept me going on the show.
Momoko is the Main female character who is a loli and is a dragon of the Chinese Zodiac who wants to get married to Koushi so she can have a strong child, she is also a very hyperactive and strange person however that doesn't mean she was a bad character because I was actually rutting for her throughout the series and actually felt really sorry for when her advancements didn't get any notice.
Koushi the Main male character is a bit of an asshole because he is has quit doing martial arts because of an incident with bullies and wants to be lawyer instead, but his interactions with Momoko make him a very unlikable person as he treats her like a piece of dirt even when she does all the house work for him he still doesn't show much appreciation for her efforts and even when he tries he does it so poorly it just annoyed me so much.
Sanae Nakajima is Koushi's classmate and his class representative although secretly she is the Horse of the Chinese Zodiac and has a heroine persona called Tenchū Senshi Uma Kamen or Divine Punishment Warrior Horse Mask, her costume which looks like something out of Kill La Kill enhances her martial art skills, but they only get more powerful if she reduces the amount of clothing she is wearing, now she isn't a bad character and you understand her resentment to martial arts since she has feeling for Koushi, but she has to put up with it to uphold her families legacy.
Iroha Miyamoto who is a 15 year old assassin who tries to kill Koushi, but she eventually falls in love with him and goes to the same school as him to get to know him better, Iroha is pretty much a Tsundere since she likes hitting her subordinate around whenever he does something wrong or wastes their money, but she wasn't a bad character since she does help the others from time to time.
Hanzo is Iroha's subordinate and has a crush on her so obviously to find out she likes Koushi hit him real hard and makes him grow a hatred for Koushi, but he is a pretty unlikable character not as bad as Koushi, but his personality created more harm than good for the others.

The artstyle didn't really stand out for me, but I did like some of the martial arts moves that Momoko and Sanae did from time to time and I also liked the look of Sanae's outfit despite how ridiculous it looked.

The action was solid and did keep me entertained since it showed how badass Momoko was when it came to fighting other people which showed she was a useful person and the final battles in the final episodes was actually pretty good too, but it was too far between all the parts that were pretty dull.
The Romance was painful to watch because it was just annoying watching Koushi acting like an asshole to Momoko all the damn time, there were a few sweet moments, but they were too far between all the annoying as hell stuff.

Overall this was a very mixed bag and by the end I was just glad to be done with it, it had something going with it with the female characters which made me feel this should've been an adventure anime about them beating up bad guys or something which would've been way more entertaining, the only reason you should watch this is if you're a martial arts fan because if you're a Romance fan all you'll get is disappointment.
