Fuufu Ijou, Koibito Miman.

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 ... that they serve more than to fill the gaps of dialogue and interaction. The characters aren't fleshed out, but they don't just exist. The dynamic and conversations between some characters, have genuine influence on those characters' thoughts and opinions.

There aren't really any obvious criticisms to be had aside from the fanservice at times in my opinion, but overall this anime utilizes cliches and tropes within reason while keeping a fresh take on them. I do like the author's foreshadowing (wedding veil) though. All in all, it does everything right, but nothing more. Very respectable, mostly enjoyable, and not a bad watch at all.

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 ... to like her after that point. Her… exclusive nature was … much but it makes sense for the most part. Her jumping from hyper sexual to virgin innocent are constant whiplashes. In someways I get it but I have to try really hard to believe a person like exist which makes it hard for me to be connected to her. Total character development 60%.

We really don’t get to “know” the characters outside of their attended clichés. I’ll give it a year before I forget that this anime was ever produced.

Side characters are going there side characters things, nothing to note. Mc best friend lowkey kinda funny. His joke can land once or twice. The dubs dialogue has some good humor.

Story 5/10
Color 7/10
Animation 5/10 (want to give it 4 because not one scene but that’s too mean)
Character 4/10 (too unmemorable and under developed/ truly and emotionally explored to be given a 5/10)

Again 5/10 means average

Total ranking for the show 6/10, it’s fine. If you can get passed with whiplash of the first couple of episodes, you’ll be able to finish it… probably.

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 ... guy Jirou or whatever likes this girl Shiori, a nice childhood friend but got shipped with a girl Akira ( who is a total ass-head who hates on random people and people still likes here ). And the storyline is that Jirou over here has fanservices and fanservices with Akira. Did I mention fanservices?


Enjoyment
The show has enough bland tropes in every single romcom which makes the show terrible, like come on, Childhood friend, Fanservices, Firework Eps, Fanservices, Fanservics, and finally Fanservices. ( Did I mention Fanservices? )


Character
-Jirou is your average romcom character with absolutely nothing special to him. Like absolutely nothing, except blue hair I guess
-Akira is the biggest dick-head you've ever seen with the most forced "character development" ever. Like halfway in they realize that main girl over here has to be a nice person so they just slap another personality in her, also fanservices
-Shiori is your average romcom childhood friend, yea that's it


Overall
Mid with color filter on
