ABEMA pre-air exclusive.

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 marriage practical course of sorts before graduation.

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 to get to the A-rank (Top 10 couples) and change couples to their ideal ones, namely Shiori and Tenjin.

I would say that this is a good adaptation of the manga, plus more anime-original scenes, which are nice to see. Also, good that there's no censoring on this one.

Definitely looking forward to more!

And compared to a couple of cuckoos, this kept the panty scenes in.

No censoring of the risque scenes so far, this anime might be our spicy romance series this season.

Well it looks somewhat interesting.
My main question here is how will things turn out seeing as there are several ways this can end, either the main characters realise they like each other and start something, or they are to focused on other interests that they fail to see what's in front of them or thing will get really bad and so on.
It could get interesting but for now the road seems pretty clear.
Have to say the main girl is more interesting the the brown haired childhood friend, the blond haired guy also seems stereotype and my guess is things won't be going so well between them as it appears.
The main couple also needs to work hard tho.

Also are all pink haired girls voiced by the same seiyu, didn't check who it is but pretty sure it's the same voice as a certain girl that ties her hair in a ponytail when she gets serious.

Good starting episode and the pacing seems pretty nice too and so far there has been no censoring of that sweet fanservice which is a plus I guess.

I am really liking the Voice Actor of Akari though, she suits it quite well and I cannot deny the close up shots of her were drawn really well.

Jirou on the otherhand is a character I'm still not sold on plus I do like his best friend more and Shiori...enough said.

Art Style is quite vibrant and will take me a bit getting used to as it overwhelms me at times where the colour scheme is a bit too much.

The end part of Jirou and Akira feeding one another was as wholesome as it was in the manga so I give props to the studio for that one.




Example of the well drawn close ups of Akari.

Overall it was a pretty okay start to the series, hopefully the studio can upkeep this quality.

Who goes for a kiss on the lips right away lol, bold of Jirou to do that.

Good to see the anime didn't cut out the panty shots and stuff. Akari looks really cute and hot. Seems like this is gonna be a decent adaptation. Theme song at the end was nice with cute visuals.

60% of the protagonist dialogue is him stuttering tbh quite annoying, also it seems that there is a huge misunderstanding by the protagonist so well, i hope at least his personality gets a little bit better.

Looks like a hentai premise - the raunchy.

Went 100% blind into this and I'm always up for a rom-com, especially one that deviates from the norm. Akari is hella cute, top tier design. Really dig the art und color palette in general.

Yes, it is a ridiculous premise. But the romance and high school sexual tensions are played out perfectly, and Fuufu Ijou delivers a tasty package of love and desire.

And the end credits sequence and thene song were great!

Just like the others, I loved the color palette as well, looks very catchy
The concept of obligatory playing a married couple with a random person doesn't really sound healthy for the teens tbh but oh well, who gives a shit, it was fun

God this was awful Cringe AF and the time just constantly jumping all over the place.

We know how this anime and story will finish so whats the point in watching?

Only good thing about this so far is the art, animation, and colors.

It felt like this episode had almost every cliche harem trope out there, well except the accidental boob grab trope.

I liked this episode, the premise is really weird but interesting nonetheless.

The animation didn't look bad either, and I really liked the art-style.

But By Far Toradora Mc Was Good, Pacing Good, a Little fast But I'll Let it slide, Mc Is Confused At A Whole New Level, I'd Rather See FMC making Choices Coz I'm feeling like Mc Is Totally Gonna Suck

But Why They Didn't Show Kiss Man 🥲🥲

First of all let me say that the animation used in this episode was superb. I can tell that this series makes a lot of Nisekoi parallels. Also the male-female pairs kinda reminded me of Darling and the Franxx. Overall I am a big fan of romance series

This is my first time watching this and i must say its not bad.

So what im understanding is that in order to graduate they need to be an perfect couple and if you reach A+ or something then you can even swap from people.

Jirou thinks he's gonna be paired with Shiori but ends up being paired with Akari while Akari wants to be paired with Minami, this really flipped the tables and its interesting to see how these relationships will unfold.

Sadaharu is really the nerd type i feel like in this anime with Jirou.

Really loving the visuals and the OP & ED songs.

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 agree. It’s starting to finally wear me down watching these types of male mc’s. He grew up with the one girl calling her by her first name and she actually asks him to call her by her first name but no, he has no sack whatsoever and can’t do it. And that’s just one example of how spineless he is.

If the practice couple do the deed, I hope they get a gold star sticker.
