Synopsis

Third-year high school student Jirou Yakuin hoped to partner with Shiori Sakurazaka of the same class in the mandatory "Couple Practical" course. In this practical, students must demonstrate that they have the necessary skillset to live with a partner of the opposite sex while presenting a certain level of harmony to the video surveillance that grades them. Unfortunately, random chance put his slightly subdued self into the practical with the person polar opposite to him, the gyaru Akari Watanabe. Akari on the other hand hoped to be paired with her crush Minami Tenjin. Their hopes are doubly dashed when they find out that Shiori and Minami are assigned together. Thus, they reluctantly decide to cooperate to reach the top ten, which would give them the right to exchange partners if both couples agree. To that end, Jirou steals Akari's first kiss without realizing what he'd done, while giving a hurried good-bye kiss...

D4NKD4NK80/100

A lackluster plot carried by the incredibly likable characters and their struggles to find love.

Sometimes a decent narrative isn't really necessary to make an anime entertaining. Fuufu ijou primarily adopts the overdone love triangle model of a common background mc, a lovely childhood friend, and the school idol, but it does it better than others. Perhaps it's the art, the soundtrack, or the u…

Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice!

Koi to Uso in Toradora fashion? Heck, I’m in! I couldn’t believe how I fell in love with this show. Since the last movie of Karakai Jouzo no Takagi-san, I was yearning for another cute romance to watch. I accidentally stumbled in this show and it is the best accident I’ve ever had. I was not expec…

A Premise That Felt Extremely Underused

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

Gyaru and A Soft Girl Fighting for a Gamer's Love was Surprising

__Got Another Interesting romance anime again,__ More than a married couple but not lovers was a banger in my opinion. The Idea of a Gyaru girl and a Quiet Gamer guy slowly falling in love with each other while being a pretend husband and wife was a weird idea to me at first but when i watched it, w…

Only enjoyable by turning off your brain

The basic plot is that Jiro's school has a curriculum where male and female students will live together as a married couple to gain experience of being a married couple and students will be graded depending on how well they act as a couple. Jiro gets paired up with Akari who is a gyaru¹. However, bo…

This is a cringe-worthy review of a show that is a hidden gem.

In spite of everything going against it, Fuufu Ijou is a decent and likable wish-fulfillment romcom

“It gets better” Such a phrase is commonly reserved for multi-season (sometimes action) comedies which take a few episodes or most of a season to experiment before hitting their stride, as well as long-running shounens which tend to explode at a certain arc. That being said, it’s also often used fo…

A cheesy, cliche romcom that was surprisingly fun to watch.

__More Than a Married Couple but not Lovers is definitely not a complex show.__ It's an ecchi romance that you can just turn your brain off to after a long day. There's good, there's bad. And there's unfortunately no season 2. From the first episode, we are introduced to a generic yet very underuti…

Very sweet and colorful look into teen love troubles that begs for a second season.

More than a Married Couple, but Not Lovers is my surprise of the season. img1220(https://i.ani.me/0337/0687/overview_of_story.jpg) You'll immediately get sucked in with the anime's very bright color palette, but you'll stay pressed against the screen for the wholesome story full of very likable char…
