Agreed. Truly disappointing. I really hate this kind of trend Rom-Com. Spineless male MC with some kinda popular female MC while both of their crush together make me feel really annoyed. Why can't they just make the MC go together with both their crush? Unless they make a different ending, I'm gonna drop this one, OR maybe I'm gonna check back on their final episode.

YES! YES! This is gonna be good! I can feel it! This is gonna be my guilty pleasure of the season! I don't care!

Is it predictable? Yes. Is it dumb? Yes. But is it something you should take seriously? NO. Enjoy this piece of a guilty pleasure of art!

It's always funny to me how many people bitch about this type of male MC, guess I'm just too numb from ecchi shows to care about this type of dude.

Looking forward to more.
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

Despite the unbelievable premise, I love the manga. I didn’t expect the anime to come out so soon so it was a very pleasant surprise to see the first episode available. So far it looks to be a solid adaptation so I’ll be looking forward to next week.

Honestly, a better first episode than I was expecting.
I'm not too impressed with Jirou, but I feel like that's to be expected with this type of thing.
Apart from that, looking forward to see how this goes with Akari.

Well, there's fanservice and another girl that'll be added to the best girls of 2022, I'll give it a shot but probably will be on-hold for the next decade.

Perfect start. Great art, details and animation. I loved the subtle fanservice like in old good days. Superb voice acting. Definitely one of the best series of this season.
MC is a little annoying, but come one. This setting is all about this.

As a manga reader, I was so looking forward to this show, and it's rather decent seeing a Nisekoi, or more like Koi to Uso type of setting of forced relationships, only this time it's as a graduation test of sorts.

but with partners swapped not by choice, their lives are lived differently. Spending most time between Jiro and Akari, this sets the precedence for their make-believe "married" life together.

I would say that this is a good adaptation of the manga, plus more anime-original scenes, which are nice to see.

Definitely looking forward to more!

Interesting start, this. Jirou's got more balls than his appearance and demeanor suggest, so I'm looking to more spicy scenes in the future.

Kamo's frustration on Jirou is totally justified, how can one be so darn lucky? Goddammit, xD. Minami x Shiori is obviously not a thing (right?) but they're really nailing it well.

Can't say no to a rom-com, that was literally my impression before starting the episode and I live by that rule. So far, so good.

Animation is fine and the usage of the bright colour palette is nice. Akari's character design and the fan-service is right on the mark too.

It's not really as good as I expected. I like the colors used for the backgrounds but the overall design sense looks kind of generic. Also, I need to stop watching this on Ani-one, the caption subs come in the way of the fan service.

Bro the fuck, the school practically persuading these horny teenagers to bang one another? Japan and their high schools, once again had me thinking these creatures live in an entirely different galaxy.

Yes, this is one of the weirdest premise that I have encountered in both anime and manga.
It not that I don't like it, its just someone may tell me on what is the reason or purpose of the premise of this "marriage practical".

Teaching students about marriage, cohabitation etc is reasonable but this system doesn't make much sense; at least having the whole ordeal on camera and scored is just incentivizing people to fake things for more points lol. Would've been more logical if they cut out the whole grading aspect of it but whatever

Context aside, could potentially be fun

I liked this quite a bit, the concept of having a marriage course in school in interesting, and at the same time kinda messed up lol, but so far I’m into it. Watanabe and Jirou’s dynamic is fun, it definitely reminds me a bit of the main couple from “A Couple of Cuckoos” which just ended lol, but I like seeing a similar dynamic here. The side characters are good as well, Sakurazaka definitely fits the childhood friend bill and I especially love the best friend character lol.

I’m also a fan of how the show looks, those are very nice colors. I definitely appreciate the fanservice in this as well, I wasn’t sure if this would have any but I’m glad to see it, I’m sure we’ll get plenty since it’s supposed to be a married couple life lol. And wow I loved that ED, that is already a potential favorite of mine this season. But yeah so far I’m liking this, I’m a big fan of Romcoms and I hope this one will be a good time going forward!

the premise is hilarious. People in the middle of their most hormonal and clueless phase when most of us coudn't get along even with our families get asigned to live with a random person and need to fake a marriage. Which is one of the hardest thing to do for real, needing maturity, emotional inteligence, empathy and atleast some YEARS of practice.
All of that with zero preparation, zero counceling, no support, nothing. Emotional damage imminent. But yeah.... what did I expect of people who put teens with zero experience in giant robots to fight gods. /japan

Animation looks really good tho, there are few scenes that have impresive setup and lightning, so good job on that.
FMC is also great, love her. Brash, but kind of ok behind the gyaru mask. Total waifu material. But I do love gyarus so I might be biased.
The überotaku friend is also hilarious. The other couple however is.... bland.

But the MC.... o boy. Another one with a deathly fear of women other than his childhood friend? A particularly bad case at that too? He saves it for me with the kiss. If it wasn't for that...
He has the potential to kill this show for me still, so I'll see. When he shows what he's made of for real. if he shows. I hope this isn't another Shikimori.

As someone said here. The cringe is real, see you next week

Just like I thought this is going to be amazing. Art is excellent. Fan service and ecchiness is just at the perfect level, the love rectangle that’s forming is the perfect amount of drama and Akari/Jirou have some nice chemistry. I can’t wait to see how this goes.

This episode added a few anime original scenes, but still managed to adapt chapters 1 and 2. The premise is somewhat interesting as two people who normally don't like each other are suddenly paired in a marriage course. It a different take on how opposites attract, but at the same time they have feelings for someone else. This is going to be one hell of a love square situation which I normally don't like, but I don't mind in this particular story. For better or For worse, Akari and Jiro have to get along as a married couple otherwise they won't graduate.

I look forward to both reading the manga and watching the anime at the same time.

It's disappointing to see another male MC that is, so far, a spineless doormat with no will of his own. I guess a wimpy male lead is a main ingredient in the basic recipe for most (or all) Rom-Coms though. Automatic average in my book at current...we'll see where it goes from here though.


I don't really like spineless MCs but Jiro is such a cutie.

Coming from a woman/girl (I was a "girl" when I started reading the manga way back in 2018), Jiro is realistic yet wonderful.

Gonna be honest. I set up my expectations low after seeing the studio and trailer.

But for this first episode, it was actually pretty nice. Was wondering how the cuter scenes of her would turn out, as I had read the manga and the panels of her are really cute there. Its also nice they aren't censoring the panties or bra's.

I'll be looking forward to this one. Would be cool if the manga had an english release so at least I could get one volume of it

Premise is even dumber than Love and Lies and the characters are so unlikable. Maybe they'll develop past that, but I don't feel like sticking around to find out. The Toradora comparisons are killing me. Yes, this is also about agreeing to pretend to be close to get with their real love interests, but it's missing everything that made Toradora good.

I really don't like pretending to be couple type of anime and from 1st episode i realise there won't be any progression like nisekoi nothing would really happened like they will never clear confessions till the very end and just keep repeating everything , im just gonna drop this and if last episode came interesting then i will start again,i just read last few chapters of manga just as i thought nothing really happening, they will just give fan service and half ass romance.one of the reason i like kanojo mo kanojo cause bro atleast has clear idea about his feelings unlike this anime he would be going for both, whenever any girl will make her move he would go with her do anything.

i literally dint like anything

Worst gyaru ever (i was watching a utube video about irl gyarus the other days and even they were better than this thing)

below average / bad / cringe MC

mr popular and shiori dint get enough screen time

~add shiny effects for romance when its actually pretending~

Couple / Marriage Practice but no s*x allowed

we gotta reach rank A so we can change partners.... just let mr popular and Shiori get rank A and have those 2 pick Jirou and Akari

cant even graduate if u dont do good
*imagine failing to graduate cose u dont like the other person and u have to 'act' that u like them.... literally irl rp

idk what else is there to complain about... oh maybe the fact that the thing is a lesson but they get 0 help from the teachers

Honestly, you have got to be kidding me. Watching renkano is one thing, this NTR stupid plot isn't any better AT ALL, how did you even come up with the idea to TEST marriage?? Romance and love is just not something you can force into people. Renkano is a bit better (and I actually like watching it) because at least there is some kind of leverage when I think about how realistic it is, in other words it's not entirely dumb, but marriage testing? No way. I mean, are you really that desperate that you can't come up with a better idea than to ruin the very fundamentals of a normal girlfriend/boyfriend relationship? wow. Let's see how ep2 turns out for now, but it is likely this anime is a no go for me, despite how much I chase after romance anime.

Gal Shikimori is cute as hell and i could hardly handle all these cringe cute romcom moments they shoved so many into us in one episode

Honestly my main complain with this is that i don't really like the protagonist, at least right now lol. He is like... really typical right now and i don't really find his design cute... hopefully he'll improve. Besides that, I really like the main girls though, they are adorable! The premise of helping each other to get with their crushes really reminds me of Toradora, too lol which is nice.

Also, I forgot to say it, but i really like the colors on this, especially in Watanabe. At some points it reminds me of Pretty Cure by how colorful it is and I like it lol. She has even pink hair too
