A Couple of Cuckoos

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

Voiced A second-year student Academy, who is ranked second in his grade. He is the biological son of a hotel tycoon, but due to a mix-up after his birth is raised by a different family. He has a crush on his classmate Hiro and aims to confess to her once he beats her in the school rankings. Following a challenge which he won, he starts dating Hiro. However, he starts to develop feelings toward Erika after realizing he hurt her by choosing Hiro.

I don't even have the words, the anime is really good even if there are a lot of things that are not logical like the story of the baby being switched at birth and many others and the plot repeats itself and we advance very little in the anime I ended up reading the manga but after a few chapters it was better the only problem is the plot when an episode ended there was not really any excitement to see the next episode but it's normal it's not an action anime the episodes had emotion all I have to say is that I'll be there for season 2 I highly recommend it for romantic comedy fans so my final rating will be 7.

Nagi always felt like the odd one in his family, being a diligent and ambitious learner while none of them are particularly studious. Anyway he loves them and therefore has little interest to get to know his biological parents. He gives into meeting them once, but little does he know what they have planned out for him...

"A Couple of Cookoos" constructs a hilarious setting to establish the harem plotline. The show tries to be funny, but fails to be outstandingly witty or hilarious. Its animation style is rather serious and not overly comical, which makes it hard for the show to find its place. It doesn't take itself particularly serious and therefore makes it hard to immerse or relate. It offers a certain share of fanservice while following the protagonist navigating the maze of weirdness his family, biological parents and his own feelings throw him into, but does not manage to connect to the viewer on an emotional level.

Eventually this show seems to be between the chairs. Its style does not really match with the kind of story it tries to tell, and thus fails to excel in either dimension of the romcom genre. It's still 'good' imho, but not more. Watch it if you're a fan of the genre, but leave it be if not since it is unlikely to get you hooked.

Great romcom totally different form other romcoms and this ain't even Harem it's love triangle so far so good manga too just have a problem it's is underrated.

I'll get right to the point: A Couple of Cuckoos is a rom-com with a harem tag. This anime isn't original or feel particularly different from other animes, but that doesn't mean it's a terrible one; I'm just bringing it up for readers who might have been hoping for something different.

Nagi Umino, the male main character, isn't the loser/virgin kind that you typically see in those kinds of animes; instead, he resembles characters like Hachiman in Oregairu and Fuutarou in Gotoubun. He is frank and won't hold back when speaking his thoughts, which occasionally lends the show more credibility.

Everything feels coherent about this program, except for the opening scene where the baby switches things at birth. Of course, achieving such a feat doesn't seem difficult in a slice of life environment, but I'm trying to emphasize it because it's executed better than in other rom-coms. (Mostly, I'm thinking of the character profiles; each one makes sense, and the manga/show honors the characteristics assigned to the characters as the plot progresses.)

There is brocon in this show. To clarify, note that there are no sexually suggestive scenes in the show (which, incidentally, doesn't have a lot of fanservice), and there's always the standard justification that the siblings aren't related by blood. Still, I'm classifying this as a con because some viewers will find the show offensive for this reason alone.

Although that's a bit of a double-edged standard, I don't think the plot moves forward at a particularly good speed. You will like every episode and be happy that there are 24 of them if you like the characters and the overall feel of the program. However, if you are hoping for some rapid character development, plot twists, and other things, you will be quite disappointed with or bored with the show.

Overall, I would suggest A Couple of Cuckoos to anyone who appreciates romantic comedies. The show really has a cast that is fairly intriguing, and the character dynamics feel cohesive, which makes the tale easy to follow and makes you fall deeply in love with your favorite character or characters. The primary issue with the show is its rhythm and duration; in my opinion, there may not be enough action in 24 episodes, therefore you should not bother watching it if you're looking for an anime with a strong narrative. In addition, there is some brocon in this show-nothing too offensive, but it's never a good idea to see that kind of thing.
