Best way to describe this show is like this, "Rent A Girlfriend Anime, With a Decent MC, with 2 characters that can be considered love interests."
The problem is not that the story is horrible, it's just the fact that the "Marriages" are very cliche, like Romeo and Juliet, but the MC can't decide whether he wants one or the other, like he wants his cake and to eat it too. But at the same time the love interests keep on "cheating" on their partner because they really just want to be with a different person then that they are assigned with, but even that is a lie, because they can't go through with it, they just want to be with Jirou.
The Story plays out it 1 of 4 ways each episode,
First Type: MC falls in love with Childhood friend and wants to be with Shiori.
Second Type: MC falls in love with the set up "Marriage" and wants Akari to show sympathy.
Third Type: MC gets in between the love interest and their "Marriage" for either his or for childhood friend.
Fourth Type: MC gets embarrassed somehow and is interrupted mid romantic event.
Basically somewhat like "Rent A Girlfriend" but better by far, without an incompetent MC, excessive heroines (Only 2), but it still is really slow and boring for the most part, not exactly distinctly captivating by any means.
7/10, The ending for the show though is really good and really makes the "mid" tier rest of the show worth it.
If you like my review don't be a stranger and give it a reaction/helpful!
