It’s simply a show built on ecchi scenes and misunderstandings.

It’s quite frustrating watching this show, because nothing notable happens for most of it other than random ecchi scenes, and whenever there’s a chance to make things a bit spicier, it just doesn’t happen most of the time. Such an original show this is, but just to be even more tropey, let’s throw in a childhood friend trope as well. The romcom elements feel like Toradora to some extent, as the two main characters Jirou and Akari like other people at the outset, but grow closer as the show goes along. It’s quite immoral, the fact that you’re getting monitored in your own house by your own school, while they expect the groups to do “married couple” things. In a nutshell, high school students are paired up with people of the opposite gender and must live together and live as pretend married couple, getting monitored and graded in the process. The premise of the marriage practical felt very dumb for a school to do, but the fact the show didn’t even use that premise a whole lot after the first few episodes really irked me. At least the bright colour palette looks good, just don’t watch it in a dark room unless you want to ruin your eyes. Time after time I find myself pausing the episode just to facepalm and After that, it turned into a very generic romcom, but so, so frustrating to watch. Sadly, in this anime, this “spicy” premise of the marriage practical felt merely like a farce, and didn’t contribute much to the story other than the first few episodes. Things would be spicy in school, the tea would be spilling nonstop, and it would genuinely be really entertaining to watch the gong show unfold.

I am minimally curious about how enjoyable this “marriage practical” thing would be if it actually was a real thing in real life.
