    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.

    Loved it, Can't Wait for Season 2

    I just finished watching the show, I have got to say, I loved it. Sure there are some improvements that the show could work on, but that is the same situation for all shows, no show is perfect. Like a lot of people keep saying, the MC could use some character development and he could stop getting embarrassed all the time. But other than that I loved the story, it's kinda unique, the art style is adorable and the characters are pleasant to watch, I love the romance in it and enjoyed watching the cliches. I recommend that you give it a shot if you haven't seen it yet. Looking forward to season 2!

    Ridiculous but Fun Rom-Com

    The premise is absurd - a school requiring boys and girls to pair up and live together! Schools should have classes about relationships, but this is clearly going too far. Once this silly premise is established, the series can set up an endless variety of relationship issues and situations. Friendships, crushes, romance, embarrassments, lust, jealousy, selfishness and stupidity are all available here. The variety of issues definitely helps make the series interesting. The voice actors are solid, and I find the English dub actors for Akari and Jiro extra appealing.

    On the negative side - (this is just my opinion) there is an over-emphasis on boobs and crotches. Sure, lots of guys want this, but it tends to detract from the story and some will find it offensive.

    Also - Jiro is thick headed and this can be funny, but he is just a little too frozen in his character development. I know character development is a balancing act for the writer- too slow and we get frustrated, too fast and we lose out on comedy situations. My opinion is let's keep it moving along.

    I am looking forward to season 2. Meanwhile, the story is available as a manga. Season 1 video covers the first 29 chapters of manga, there are 58 chapters available as I write this review. Have fun!

    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.

    Best Anime ever

    This anime features a dynamic love issue where people are forced to act as married couples to pass there school. This creates odd situations and amazing moments which help feel like you are there. This Anime will make you not want to leave and sadly it is short, hopefully a season 2 can be made and there are plenty of mangas out for it. As of making this there are 62 manga books. I would Highly recommend this to anyone and the people In this are amazing... Apart from one. But you can watch and find out yourself on how amazing this anime is by watching it on crunchy role. Hopefully a second season will be published!
