    This anime has invented a new type of excitement for me

    I really like romance anime, so this review may be a little biased that way. But my goodness, this anime felt like so much more than that. The animation is beautiful and I love the pacing of every episode. In my opinion, this anime nails the edge of seat excitement vibe way more than domestic girlfriend or anything else. And on top of all of it, it didn't leave me with an unsatisfying feeling either (besides the fact that the episodes end). I just love every character interaction and there's comedy too, which is the final ingredient to this all around amazing anime (imo). This review is being made before the last episode even airs, but it doesn't even matter how this first season ends because it has already established itself as amazing to me. I guess if there is something to complain about, it'd be that if you are looking for something wholesome, this anime has plenty of emotionally messy and spicy moments (though there are wholesome parts too). Anyways, I had an open mind when starting it and came to love this anime.

    More successful than others

    I must say that it is more successful than other series in its genre There is always a tug-of-war between the characters that makes the story more interesting There are twists and turns during the story that make your heart skip a beat, of course, that's what this genre of series does.

    The story of a girl and a boy who don't like each other and over time talk more and end up falling in love with each other is not new, what makes this story interesting is secrets and words. That cannot be said to each other.

    I must say that the character of the characters could be deeper and their past was also used in the series.

    But if we want to draw a general conclusion, I have to say that this series has managed to do its job well.

    More than a Married Couple, but Not Lovers

    This anime series is centred on two high school students; Jiro Yakuin and Akari Watanabe. He is a shy and retiring boy who has feelings for Shiori Sakurazaka; she is an extrovert who fancies Minami Tenjin, the school idol. As part of a school programme to train people to live as couples students are paired and have to live together for some time. Jiro is less than impressed to be paired with Akari. They are told that those who get on best will be able to switch partners; something they both want. As the time passes they become closer to each other; but will it be more than friendship by the time the programme ends.

    This series could so easily have been sleazy but it turned out to be surprisingly sweet. The characters are likeable and develop nicely as the series progresses. There is inevitably some fan service but it is mild enough that there isn't any obvious censorship, which detracts from many shows. The central premise is clearly a bit unlikely... having students living in boy/girl pairs would be a disaster waiting to happen, but as a hook for the story it works. The story provides plenty of laughs and an enjoyable element of romance as we wonder who characters will ultimately get together with. Overall I'd certainly recommend this one; I hope we get a second series to resolve unanswered questions.

    These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

    About anime

    This anime is god damn good, I don't know about other viewers, but I really hoping to see sequal of this anime, I'm really hyped about 2nd season after watching only 3 episodes of first season btw I think protagonist need some character development, that guy easily flustered in any situation. Give him 5 percentage of Chad uniq skill, if u use 5 percentage of Chad skill on protagonist only god knows how much this anime will grow, i think this anime is lacking something like nature view i mean outside their home and school if u add side seeing that would be great and female protagonist she's just awesome actually a perfect, that's all for now.
