Synopsis

Third-year high school student Jirou Yakuin is in love with his childhood friend and classmate, Shiori Sakurazaka. Thus, he hopes to be paired with her for the marriage practical: their school's practice of randomly selecting boy-girl pairs to live as pretend married couples while monitoring and rating them on how close they have gotten. Meanwhile, the lively Akari Watanabe wants to be assigned to her crush, the popular and good-looking Minami Tenjin.

Much to their dismay, Jirou and Akari find out that not only have they been paired together, but so have Shiori and Minami! Determined to be with their crushes, Jirou and Akari strive to earn as many points as possible, as the top 10 pairs earn the right to switch their partners—so long as both couples agree.

Went in expecting some generic slop, instead I was met with a pleasant feels-good romcom. This has nothing which sets it apart from others which actually plays into its effectiveness as it builds on what works. The plot is unique, but it can definitely feel artificial because it's somewhat too convenient and unrealistic, but what is?

The characters set this apart from other romcoms, because even though they can all fit a cookie cutter trope character:
- Jiro, unpopular 'otaku'
- Kamo, loner wingman
- Sakurazaka, childhood first love
- Watanabe, enemies to lovers tsundere
- Minami, ikemen blonde sociable guy

They don't feel like filler, in the sense ...

Mixed Feelings
Quick review.

Mc, average but occasionally can make you chuckle. (If you bust out laughing, I’m happy for you but though expect master piece comedy.)
The total amount of character development 20% (that’s being generous)

Childhood friend…, girl next door troupe, to me, her episode/ screen time was quite literally filler. To be fair, at least it added some competition(for the characters in the story, to me she felt like a plot device.) Total amount of character development 0~3%( she said making real moves after the ep 8 but for the most part she didn’t change one bit)

gyaru Girl mc, typical, annoying at first(ep1-2), but you might grow ...

Absolute disappointment of a show. Let's just get straight into it
Art
Yes colors are pretty, which is the only good thing shout the show. I mean if you take the average romcom and invert the color of it you'll get the same result.

Music
It's like sleeping without a pillow, terrible

Storyline
Consists of a sex-encouraging school system who rewards students points when they bend each other down. Something I find crazy is that there is a door for each person which is only accessible when they have their fingerprint in for "sex-preventing" when the school bums damn know that they can just let each other in.
So we have this ...
