    Lively. Funny and Entertaining

    I like how the witty dialogue and fast moving story never gets boring. The characters experience surprises, dumb mistakes, and awkward moments certain to make you smile.

    The adolescent characters are already struggling to figure out who they are, so learning they aren't even related to their families makes them more confused. Watching them react and change adds a nice subtext to the surface comedy. I would have liked a bit more emotional depth, but this is primarily a comedy, so just sit back and laugh.

    The attractive, crisp, modern animation is similar to "My Dress Up Darling". Also, there is plenty of "fan service" (Hollywood calls it "T & A"}, but the sexual humor here is restrained and unlikely to offend anyone.

    I recommend this romantic comedy.

    Great storyline, characters and design

    The plot of two people being switched at birth was amazing and I love how every character had their own development in their own unique way.

    Personally, I think Nagi was thrown around a bit too much but other than that, it was great It wasn't like your typical harem which I was really getting bored of. I was actually thinking of quitting harem anime until I watched this.

    Normally I would rate it 10/10 but I still feel it was missing something. I really hope they raise the bar in season 2 but I couldn't wait so I've already began to read the manga lol but all in all, it was masterpiece of an anime.

    They're Gonna Need a Whole Lot of Therapy

    First, if I was handed a boy to take home instead of the GIRL I just gave birth to, I think I would notice.

    Second, the whole main contrivance of this anime is, though not technically incestual, emotionally and psychologically, absolutely is.

    Third, all the little sub-plots are unnecessarily complicated. They are meant for laughs -- people hiding the fact that they don't know each other or live together sort of thing -- but they come off as very amateurish.

    Fourth, has ALL the same characters you have ever seen in anime.

    As far as I can tell, the manga is still going. I thought I would finish this season and be done with it, but I guess not. I won't be back for season 2.

    Fantastis story

    Plot is a 16-year-old second-year high school student who learns that he is not the biological child of the family that raised him. On the way to his first meeting with his biological family, he meets Erika Amano, a popular internet celebrity who is trying to escape from an arranged marriage. Later, and Erika discover that the hospital had accidentally switched the two after their births and their parents are now aiming to put them in an arranged marriage; so they, selfishly, do not have to say goodbye to the children they raised after missing out of their respective childhoods. To facilitate this, they are made to live in a house owned by Erika's family; hoping the two will fall in love before graduation, but will respect their wishes to abandon the idea if nothing comes of it.

    Characters

    Animation

    I waited the whole time for this anime , I liked it so much and their character too. But there are some thing that i don't liked in the new season . I liked the previous season's animation . They just changed the character's personality and appearance. I waited the whole time for the second season and I got disappointed by their new animation graphics. They change hiro-san's hairstyle, she looked cute with her old hairstyle. They changed character's way of speak . Its look liked they are goingto end this anime with it's second.

    If its possible please release the second season again with the old animation that used in season first.
