While the premise, at first, seems tired and tedious the palpable chemistry between the contrasting protagonists leads to one of the most sincere representations of modern married life in anime. Their interaction feels real and wholesome, without being forced and unnatural. The characters have a sense of development, which helps give purpose to their lives, resulting in a surprisingly immersive experience.
Now while the majority of the show can be thought of as an episodic endeavor, there are several over-arching narrative themes that are portrayed rather well, with an extremely gratifying conclusion. The show manages to remain comedic, without having to resort too much on tacky slapstick humor.
There are several elements of drama which are presented, without hindering the overall tone, that keep the show interesting. Otaku culture is also a prominent theme and as such there are several references to other real-world shows, which further enhance the experience.

The show’s simplistic premise and execution make it extremely enjoyable, and while the comedy might not suit everyone’s tastes, it’s definitely one of the better shows the slice of life genre has to offer.
