Third-year high school student Jirou Yakuin is in love with his childhood friend and classmate, Shiori Sakurazaka. Thus, he hopes to be paired with her for the marriage practical: their school's practice of randomly selecting boy-girl pairs to live as pretend married couples while monitoring and rating them on how close they have gotten. Meanwhile, the lively Akari Watanabe wants to be assigned to her crush, the popular and good-looking Minami Tenjin.
Much to their dismay, Jirou and Akari find out that not only have they been paired together, but so have Shiori and Minami! Determined to be with their crushes, Jirou and Akari strive to earn as many points as possible, as the top 10 pairs earn the right to switch their partners—so long as both couples agree.

The synopsis of "More than a married couple, but not lovers" suggests that this show probably won't be anything deep, but rather light, enjoyable, relaxing rom-com. For real - how can so ridiculous concepts like "marriage practical" be treated seriously? This premise, however, seems to be pretty original, comparing it to other similar shows. The closest matches are probably Nisekoi and Koi to Uso (forced marriage/pairing), but none of these shows treated this theme in this type of way. [Story - 7] I appreciate the original take when it comes to marriage practical theme. Even if it seems funny, or even stupid in the synopsis, it workspretty well in the show at the end. It allows the anime to take the path, many rom-com viewers are seeking - "enemies to lovers". The show isn't boring at all, even after a few episodes, which is pretty common for this type of anime. Each episode consists of something either funny or exciting for the viewer. It's really enjoyable. As far as I like the whole concept of the show, I also dislike it at the same level. This approach to the story makes the relationship between characters a bit meaningless and forced. Let's be real - Jirou and Akari pairing is pretty exotic, and most likely would have really low chances, without this forced pairing. I much more like the shows, where the relationship goes naturally. There are also a lot of lewd scenes, and in some moments, the show looks like Ecchi. There are also unbearable for me, ambiguous scenes, between Shiori and Jirou. These are not only cringe-worthy but also really tiring to watch - especially when it is repeatable (holidays - beach and restaurant scenes). The chemistry between many characters is weird and forced at times. That seems to be a positive thing in some ways, to show the character development in later episodes.
[Art - 7]
The colours in the show are vivid, bright, and really saturated, making the atmosphere nicer, and the show more interesting. Most of the time colours are matched correctly, and the art looks really good. In some scenes, the hue is really aggressive, and it may appear oversaturated, which causes the opposite effect from the planned.
[Sound - 8]
Not much to mention there. Music doesn't play a major role in this show. The opening is just okay. Ending on the other hand is a masterpiece. I loved it from the first time I heard it!
[Characters - 6]
The characters are really generic. The first episode and the viewer can already think "I saw that somewhere already". And obviously, those characters are widely copied in many anime, but the first suggestion that comes to head? Nisekoi. The main character is madly in love with his childhood friend. He starts to spend much more time with the main heroine, that is totally not his type. As they know each other better, it seems they are clicking quite well. MC starts to realize his feelings for the main heroine. Nothing new. MC is surprisingly not bad, and in some ways likable. It's still far from the really good male MCs, but I didn't feel the cringe, by looking at his actions. It's a good exception from the usual boring, useless rom-com MC. Side characters? Zero development, zero significance to the story. Basically, everyone besides Akari, Shiori, and Jirou "is just there" and that's it. Their personality is almost non-existent. The only side character viewers are about to know a bit better is Tenjin, and it's still really a surface knowledge level (and maybe that is better?)
[Enjoyment - 9]
I won't lie, this show is one of those I really enjoyed while watching it. I'm aware of its flaws. And I agree it's nothing special. But I still really liked it. Even if it has some elements suggesting it's a generic rom-com, I find the whole show idea pretty innovative. It was something I didn't experience before when it comes to anime. I had a lot of laughs, smiles, and excitement throughout those 12 episodes. I even picked up the manga, as I was curious about what will happen next. "More than a married couple, but not lovers" is doing a lot of things wrong, as long as the brightening up my day, can be counted as a wrong thing.
Fuufu Ijou, Koibito Miman. isn't a masterpiece. But it also not trying to be one. It's a lighthearted romance, with a good dose of comedy, and a pretty original idea for a storyline. The show isn't for everyone for sure. However, if you're looking for a decent rom-com, with a fair amount of lewdness, a great amount of laughter, and some cute moments, look no further.
"More than a married couple, but not lovers" anime gets more than I was expecting, before starting this show - 8/10.

What is trash? Is it a dumpster fire, or something that absolutely is worth its name upon that symbolizes something else? In AniManga, we have seen our fair share of trash, or even dumpster fire shows over the years promising something different but with the outcome already written on the wall, and Jim George's quote of "It’s not how you start that’s important, but how you finish!" rings true for all works. This is especially important for works that people have waited eons to get an anime adaptation, and for me, that show is mangaka Yuuki Kanamari's Fuufu Ijou, Koibito Miman. a.k.a More Than a MarriedCouple, But Not Lovers.
Rom-coms are gotten quite stale over time with the advent of works that pave the way for influences, say in the late 2000s and early 2010s with shows like Toradora! and Nisekoi that are still beloved classics to this day. It's only in recent years with shows like Koi to Uso a.k.a Love and Lies, Kanojo mo Kanojo a.k.a Girlfriend, Girlfriend and the most recent Kakkou no Iinazuke a.k.a A Couple of Cuckoos that truly draw the line for rom-coms inventing something new, but ultimately falling short at the finish line of their wayward cycle of messy love triangles (or rectangles even) predicting what the seasoned Average Joe has already spelled out the disasters with many theories as possible to predict how this "illogical" drama would end. And this show, based on the manga of the same name, is no exception to this rule.
Notice that I DID say that the finish line is just as important as how things start, and this show for one, ups the ante on the one show that has already proven itself to be a failure, just like the manga it was based on: Koi to Uso. But unless you're a seasoned AniManga veteran, you would have no idea what Koi to Uso's setting is like, and I forgive you since the anime aired 5 years ago, with the manga only reaching its conclusion at the start of the year. The former's story plot featuring a futuristic Japan where low birthrates are a serious liability for the nation, so much so that the government introduces a system to encourage successful marriages by pairing adolescent high school students according to whoever they are assigned to, and serious repercussions await those who defy the arrangement. This is the case for the male MC having an infatuation on his classmate and long-time crush, who knew that getting her would take a leap of encouragement and boldness, even against the girl that he's assigned to being interested in his illicit romance. And you can take what Koi to Uso offered and plaster it into this series, only beating it in the sense that it's a school-required curriculum to pass before graduation, a perchance at the make-believe married life that similar to said former series, and the pairs are chosen at random.
In fact, I would go as far as to say that the mangaka took most of the inspiration from the series, and elevates it in his/her way so much that it actually blends a lot of what makes the rom-com genre great to begin with: Toradora!'s way of the main oddball couple helping each other attain their crushes and Nisekoi's insistence that as much as the male side of the second couple is a supporting character, but being that of the main character being spineless. This is true for Jiro Yakuin, who is almost in the same vein as Nisekoi's Raku Ichijo and Koi to Uso's Yukari Nejima, being all that innocent in front of the girl he likes and has a crush on her for the longest time: the shy and kind-hearted Shiori Sakurazaka. But being the awkward introvert with self-esteem issues (that akin to a certain Hitori "Bocchi" Gotoh), he doesn't feel confident in making sure that his attempts to reach Shiori will ever plan out. This is where the gyaru Akari Watanabe comes in: being assigned to Jiro instead of her crush that is the popular school idol Minami Tenjin, both have a hatred for one another but have the same objective: like Toradora!'s Ryuji Takasu and Taiga Aisaka, help each other to be assigned to the crush of their dreams by way of the tactics bringing the antics, which in this case, is the earn enough points to switch their partners.
The irony? Having a mismatch like this requires you and your partner to get intimate with each other and barring the hope that the other person does the same to his/her partner that the same plan would be achieved, this is much easier said than done. Both Akari and Jiro putting their differences aside, may have for better or worse, deepened their relationship with one another, turning their hatred into love and causing confusion on conflicting feelings of whether those exact feelings are true or not. It's a given that the OTP a.k.a One-True Pairing exists for a reason, and as much as people ship the expected Jiro X Shiori and Akari X Minami, love can be blind-sided in the favour if one person curries feelings for the other, and thus says so for the ongoing source material that ever so tries to pair the "match made in heaven" couple that it really questions people from time to time if the person they are going for, IS the one that they really want to spend their life with. And that is some messy business to be dealt with when all is said and done.
Jiro's VA Seiichiro Yamashita does a knockout job trying to replicate Jiro's image from the manga, and his character being Kage no Jitsuryokusha a.k.a Eminence in Shadow's gigachad Cid Kagenou, I expect nothing less from his standout performance being just the awkward person in the room and acting innocently boisterous on just about anything that ticks him, such as the case with Akari's VA Saori Oonishi. In fact, having Saori Oonishi be Akari does give her character more weight and significance in this crossing web of emotions as she tries to help the secluded Jiro stand out a bit more and be brave about his emotions, while simultaneously not forgetting that she has to target Minami as well, with the support of her best friends Sachi Takamiya and Natsumi Ohashi. The one surprise that I wasn't expecting to have Seiyuu Saki Miyashita play as Shiori, and after playing main characters for shows since 2018, she found her stride with Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru. a.k.a The Detective Is Already Dead's Siestal, coming back for one full force as the pretty and lovable Shiori, the waifu character bait strikes two-for-two. And of course, how could I forget Minami Tenjin, and VA Toshiki Masuda really captured the sense that he is the school's flower boy, the handsome dude that all girls want to date him.
For the relatively new studio that is studio MOTHER, it has been quite the wild ride with the studio's record only being in production assistance for Arifureta when Asread. was just killing the original source material's adaptation, but thankfully it wasn't the case here. With manageable pacing that I'd say is not too fast in hiding those story elements while providing a touch of glimpse with its almost overdone colour palette, the production values look great, even if director Junichi Yamamoto doesn't have much under his resume biography of works which range from the weird to the unkempt. For a standalone effort, this was pretty much what I was hoping for in the manga receiving a good adaptation, and yes, for sure it was, with a lil'bit of omission from the manga as few as possible. I just love the colours presented here, it is a nice contrast and gives the bright "pop" that adds so much personality to the show, and it was a heck of a job well done.
The OST, simply wonderful, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Liyuu's OP is good, but Nowlu's ED is even better. What a dazzling of magical pumps and beats, this is some incredible song composition that has a chill vibe to elevate the setting of the anime. Definitely one of the best EDs of the season and the year overall.
It comes as no surprise that the anime adaptation has respected the manga considerably, and I am more than elated that it turned out just as great as the source material was in its beginning stages. Would love a Season 2 to this, but as mentioned in the beginning, it comes with the caveat of the manga faltering just the same as any other rom-com story with "un"-necessary padding. Still though, what we got was really just spectacular, and as a manga reader, I can finally take this off my bucket list of hopeful adaptations.
A great job well done, even if it's redeemable trash, folks.

The amount of internal brain hemorrhaging while watching this show is truly a testament to how annoying and critical the story is in making a decent show. Best way to describe this show is like this, “Rent A Girlfriend Anime, With a Decent MC, with 2 characters that can be considered love interests.” The problem is not that the story is horrible, it's just the fact that the “Marriages” are very cliché, like Romeo and Juliet, but the MC can't decide whether he wants one or the other, like he wants his cake and to eat it too. But at the same time the love interestskeep on cheating on their partner because they really just want to be with a different person then that they are assigned with. But even that is a lie, because they can't go through with it, they just want to be with Jirou.
The Story plays out it 1 of 4 ways each episode:
First Type: MC falls in love with Childhood friend and wants to be with Shiori.
Second Type: MC falls in love with the set-up “Marriage” and wants Akari to show sympathy.
Third Type: MC gets in between the love interest and their “Marriage” for either his or for childhood friend.
Fourth Type: MC gets embarrassed somehow and is interrupted mid romantic event.
Basically somewhat like “Rent A Girlfriend” but better by far, without an incompetent MC, excessive heroines (Only 2), but it still is really slow and boring for the most part, not exactly distinctly captivating by any means.
7/10, The ending for the show though is fantastic and really makes the “mid” tier rest of the show worth it.

While some may argue that Fuukoi is a Nisekoi rip off and another blue balling romcom, I wholeheartedly disagree. Not only was it one of my favourite shows of 2022, but it’s also one of my all time favourite rom-com stories. Fuukoi does have some similarities with previous romcoms like Nisekoi with the whole fake relationship gradually turning to real feelings set up, but ultimately it sets itself apart with how it handles the characters which is my biggest complaint with most gag romances. The show is pretty transparent. What you see is what you get. My main issue with these types of shows tendsto be an indecisive MC who doesn’t know who or what he wants and goes back and forth all the time. The MC in this show is open from the jump about who he wants and using the couples exam as a means of doing that, as is the main female character. While you do have a lot of common rom-com tropes in the show, I think they’re presented in an enjoyable fashion and don’t take away from the drama of the story. If anything, I think the anime has similarities with Kisekoi from earlier in the year and if you enjoyed that type of dynamic between a male and female MC you’ll enjoy this.
The couples exam itself is a pretty unique idea in anime and the situations it forces the characters into are hilarious. I enjoyed seeing the MC and Akari, the main female protag grow closer and slowly realise their feelings. If I had one complaint, though. It would be the “love triangle” in the show. It’s a pretty one sided situation from like episode 4 onwards and there’s no real tension or drama because you basically already know what way the MC is gonna go. I would have liked to have seen more drama with that throughout the season. We did get a little bit more in the last couple episodes, but it felt more like a token effort than anything. If anything, there’s more drama on the female side of things with Akari chasing the guy she originally liked. I will say though, this is one of the few romcoms where I actually prefer the main girl over the childhood friend/side girl so that is a testament to how well written Akari is and how good the relationship she cultivates with the MC is.
The anime does have a ton of fan service which can be hit or miss for some people, for me fan service is always a plus and I absolutely loved how ecchi the show gets. The director/staff know their target audience and how to appeal to us and I appreciate that. The weekly lewd scenarios were really awesome and I’m gonna miss them.
Character designs and art are top tier for me. Akari has one of the most attractive designs I have ever seen in anime. The colour palette is gorgeous to me. It’s a very bright and punchy looking show, but I think it turned out very well. It’s a unique art style that we don’t see often.
What makes me rate the anime so highly all time is that Akari and Jirou’s relationship is just genuinely fun to me. I love how despite coming from such different backgrounds they are able to find common ground, build a real bond and open up to each other. You combine that with fan service, gorgeous art and some drama and you’ve got something really special on your hands. Is this show for everyone? No. If you’re coming into this expecting Fruits Basket style writing you’ll be disappointed. This is a rom-com ass rom-com and I mean that in the most sincere way possible. It exemplifies what you’d expect from this type of show and makes for a great watch and I love it.
Fuukoi gets 10 out of 10.

I just finished watching this anime and I'm still reeling from the experience. This anime was a wild ride from start to finish, and I'm not just saying that because of the adorable characters (although, let's be real, Akari is the ultimate girlfriend goals). The premise of the show is unique - two high school students, Akari and Jiro, are paired together as "married couples" for a school project, but they're not actually dating. As they navigate their fake relationship, real feelings start to develop, and things get complicated. What I loved most about this anime was the way it explored the complexities of relationships. Akari andJiro's interactions were so natural and relatable, it felt like I was watching real people navigate love, friendship, and misunderstandings. The supporting characters added depth and humor to the story, and I found myself invested in their lives too.
Akari, in particular, stole my heart. Her kindness, empathy, and unwavering optimism made me wish I had a girlfriend like her in real life (no shame in admitting that!). The way she supported Jiro through thick and thin, even when he didn't deserve it, was truly inspiring.
The animation was beautiful, with vibrant colors and expressive character designs. The soundtrack was catchy and fitting, with opening and ending themes that I found myself humming long after the episodes ended.

If you're looking for an anime masterpiece like steins gate or hunter x hunter, look no further, this is the perfect anime to watch and enjoy with your fellow siblings. If you did not like this anime it is because you're gay. Have no confusion towards the topic of quality regarding niponic animations, for it is the pinacle of _Homo sapiens_. When discussing Fuufu Ijou, Koibito Miman, it is imperative for us to understand almighty God himself has handcrafted its script, and its characters are brought quite literally to life, as they are potentialized by the atmosphere created on the realms of audio & visual. Werethe ultimate power not to exist, present I to you the understanding that such an intricate piece would not be conceived.

Well tbh i didnt have a lot of hope while starting the first episode but at least i've been lured by the fact it's a seinen to believe it might be mature. Well ngl i was wrong, this isnt mature. Sometimes it's borderline ecchi but it's not really different from a shounen slice of life. It's been a while now i review those romance animes/mangas and it becomes increasingly boring and hard to find inspiration while writing because it's just a taste of deja vu for me. Like a feeling that everything i write for 75% of those animes could be switched with other animesand so on. It's always the same flaws, the same stories, the same characters...
Nevertheless, i'll do it. Well let's start with the characters. The MC is bland, generic indeed it's your basic SOL romance MC with a bland look, a bland personality, the same shy thick headed boy we get in all those animes. Nothing to see, nothing to say because "nothing" is the best existing word that refers to this army of MC clones that mangakas created.
Akari (pink haired girl) is portayed as a pretty yes-life girl who aspires to go out with the handsome boy of the high school. She starts the anime being a selfish unbearable spoiled brat who openly mocks the MC then in just 15 minutes she becomes a girl who flirts with him without accepting it. Like often in those animes, we discover that she's more than a selfish girl and it turns out that she's kind, sweet, funny and maybe nymphomaniac seeing how she behaves with a boy who isnt even her crush. But I guess i shouldnt be saying that though. All in all, she's just weird and should be avoided at all costs for any normal boy out there. In my opinion, this character doesnt make any sense at all. I mean obviously girls in those animes dont make any sense aswell but at least their behaviour is understandable. Here, she's portayed as a virgin kind girl without any experience but sometimes she just straight up behaves like a prostitute you know. I dont want to spoil anything but some scenes are borderline sluts. Her behaviour is strictly made for fanservice, she's kind and virgin but she'll behave like a drunk girl with a boy she met in a club even though she's been knowing the MC for 3 days. I mean, how would she be a virgin if she behaves like that it doesnt make any sense. Either you do a full virgin cliche girl either you embrace the fact this is a seinen and you show a more realistic girl with experience but a mix of both is a no go.
Shiori (MC's childhood friend) is the shy girl who doesnt like to stand out. She's been in love with the MC since 1942 (well that's false but you guessed it, it's been since they're kids) but because of her shyness and her lack of luck, she has never been able to convey her feelings to an extent the MC believes she is deeply friendzoning him. Let's not lose our time, she'll probably end up alone being regretful about how her stupidity made her lose the heart of a simp that has been following her in hope of love since they're kids aswell.
Truth is that we see a girl like that in 80% of those animes, it's getting boring but they continue to provide us with those top notch girls that end up heart-broken.
That is exactly why this anime is random and doesnt deserve (for me) more than a generous 6/10. Random MC, weird irrational girl, a cliche childhood friend that will eventually end up like every others... Well that's not appealing.
But maybe there's a chance the story goes farther to transcend us, modest anime fans !
Haha lol no. They spend 95% of their time at home, sometimes they end up in some cliche situations and that's it. Like everytime in those animes, there's not deepness to increase our affection to the characters by showing us their hardships (apart from their sexual life). It seems like they're always talking and thinking about relationships. Even when the MC hangs out with his friend, they talk about girls. What do they want to do ? idk what are their passions ? idk Who are their parents ? idk
well truth is that it's even less developed that the standard romance anime. At least in other animes, you get to see a mother, sometimes a father, a sister and so on. In this anime, we dont care ! and i will explain you why
Because this anime is a slut anime that doesnt say its name. If you dont know what is the slut genre, well it's animes/mangas without any story because the only thing that matters is that characters end up doing sexual things. The plot conveniently helps them.
The only difference here is that you can replace sexual scenes by fanservice scenes. Boing breasts, breasts that touch the MC's back, scene in which a girl simulates a sex scene while she's cooking with the MC (God it was awful to watch).
I'm not going to talk about art etc... cuz there's nothing to say really.
All in all, who should watch this thing ? Well if you're only interested in a generic anime full of fanservice with girls but you're not brave enough to watch a hentai you're in the right place. This anime will probably be one of the best romance anime you'll ever see because it goes really far in fanservice. That's all

[9/10] Great Contains a little spoiler but nothing big. I got this anime as recommendation during the MyAnimeList Santa’s recommendations event. So a special thanks to them ! 9 is a generous rating I’d say, even tho I like slight fan-servicey anime, this was just too much for me tbh.. but the ending saved it. Overall story was just fine.. Nothing too impressive, an original plot tho, schoolmates have been put in couples to prepare them for preparing them for future life. They gain points when they behave like good couple n on the other hand they lose points if they don’t and also, if ur ranked inthe top ten couple (rank A) with most points u can change the partner while keeping ur older score.. that’s it, that’s the story. Our protagonist is in love with someone in another couple, same for his partner, n they have to be a good couple to get with those they want to be. It was a really fun watch, felt uncomfortable at some points cuz of the « ecchi scenes », the repetitive innuendos where quite annoying I’d say, sometime it’s fine but not when it’s repetitive, imo. There were just too much innuendos tbf but it’s fine.
Characters -
-The protagonist, Jirô, is the same old dumb, generous n kind character who can’t chose anything by himself, sandwiched between lovers. But I liked his overrated reactions, was fun.
-His partner, Akari, is the classical tsundere. She was cute tho. Since it was an ecchi type anime, she is nearly always half naked, « heavy chested », n ofc she has the « weird » attitude, actions n reactions. She was the « sexy » female character of the show.. but idc, I liked her, not for her look, but for her cuteness, n her character is well developed. Well tbh, I like tsundere characters, no jugement pls.
-Shiori, the protagonist’s love, even tho the viewers know that their love is in the two ways, they don’t.. she’s cute too imo.. I liked her aswell. She is more preserved compared to Akari, but she loves Jirô. She is a shy n fearful character. Again since it’s an ecchi show, her body was also.. meant to be « sexy ».
-Minami, Akari’s first love, the handsome guy of the series.
-Kamo, the protagonist’s best friend, n imo THE best character of the show ! He’s way too funny, the usual useless friend we all have but who tries his best to help you :D His reactions are always exaggerated n his voice change is just simply sublime. He tries his best to help the protagonist but always ruin everything. We all have a friend like him :D
Soundwise - Overall it was good. Voices were fine. The OP was fairly good. ED was fire ! It’s catchy, surely one of my fav EDs so far!
The ending is the reason why I gave 9, I liked both Akari n Shiori sooo much, I wasn’t able to choose one of them ! (Nor the useless protagonist) Even if he chose one of them, I would have been sad for the other. Just :
« Perfectly balanced, as all things should be ».
Visuals - Splendid.
Designs - Eye catchy -> Amazing.
Plot - 8/10
Music - 9.5/10
Visual - 9/10
Character development - 9/10
Story telling - 6/10
Ending - 10/10
I will definitely recommend you this show. Just a little warning, if your not confortable with innuendos and ecchi stuff, avoid !!! But overall it’s a great show. Special thanks to Santa again :D

“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 for shows that leave a mediocre or abysmal first impression before allegedly picking up in quality according to a consensus. Chivalry of a Failed Knight, Gundam ZZ, and Symphogear are somewhat popular examples. Whether or not such an argument is convincing or even true is obviously down to preference and case by case basis, but personally,Fuufu Ijou is a rare example of this actually being applicable.
There are two tremendous barriers to entry with this series which rear their heads immediately. Firstly, the backdrop is by far the most questionable element of the series. The series is predicated on a marriage practical, a course where everyone in high school is assigned a partner of the opposite sex to live with in a dorm. Cameras survey their every move, they earn and lose points based on how well they gel with each other as a couple, and the top 10 couples are encouraged to “divorce” so that they can be paired up. Also, this is a mandatory, graded course. The logistical, ethical, and consistency-based issues with this entire idea are numerous. It’s an albatross around the series’ neck, a shadow that underscores just about every single interaction in the show. No matter how cute the romance is, no matter how much character chemistry the main couple and supporting cast all have, you have to really get past and ignore said backdrop for it to not have a dramatic effect on your enjoyment.
Even if you can put up with all that and not be immediately driven away from the series, the first episode has other issues beyond introducing the broken marriage practical concept. The pacing and editing are rather rough and abrupt, only ceasing to be an issue around episode 3 or 4, barring the occasional abrupt end to some episodes throughout. Both are virginal gamer dweeb MC (Jirou) and our brash, confrontational gyaru MC (Akari) are a bit difficult to put up with at first, especially together. The typical tropes one would expect like an even more bitterly virginal 4th wall breaker best friend and the typical childhood friend with a crush on the MC are all unflatteringly tossed in, the former of which starts off incredibly annoying. There really is a lot going against the show from the start.
In spite of everything, Fuufu Ijou quickly manages to wind up as a cute wish fulfillment romcom with a surprising amount of fun and skill. Jirou and Akari quickly develop a fun chemistry together as the show transitions from the more cliche conflicts to surprisingly touchy and insecurity-driven ones even as early as episode 4. Jirou doesn’t expect anyone to love some horny teen loser like him who would just bring a popular girl like Akari down, while Akari feels over reliant on others and her self-esteem is absurdly fragile. Their insecurities and unwillingness to reconcile with their budding feelings for each other vs their feelings for their crushes are mostly nice to see, even if there are a few hijinks that probably go a bit too far and could use some rearranging. Even the annoying meta humor provided by best friend Kamo has its fun moments, with uproarious and dedicated references to Duel Monsters, and the fact that his fucking name hasn’t been properly introduced even 4 episodes in. There’s always a wrinkle to the usual or annoying ideas past episode 1 to help cushion the blow or surprise the viewer as things quickly tighten up and become more interesting. The second half has this in spades, especially as the admittedly gaudy vocalizing of what they expect from teenage boys and girls to typically feel and do further informs their insecurities. It does make it all the more frustrating just how close to saying how their insecurities and current issues are a product of their developing feelings for each other, but there are some engaging payoffs to everything by the end, even though it’s only adapting a fraction of the material.
The show isn’t immune from the aforementioned pains. While Jirou’s self-deprecating virgin monologues become more bearable, they’re still a little too frequent. Furthermore, the level of monologuing in this show is still annoying, and while it is refreshing when things go a little faster or differently than expected, there’s still some anxiety present given how the show does sometimes just go for the annoying idea flat out. The show is also too overbearingly blunt, thanks in no small part to the misunderstandings and an unceasing swarm of monologues, even if the resolutions and progression can sometimes be worth it. Part of why might be the exploration of both Jirou and Akari's personal insecurities, which drives practically every action and interaction of theirs. Plus, as bad as the backdrop is, it adds a sense of both inevitability and uncertainty to their destination, regardless of who they end up with, should they be with anyone at all by the time they swap partners. Of course, as this anime adapts what is projected to be about ⅓ of the manga, only so much progress can be made, but the partial journey is more engaging than expected.
Another reason the show goes down smoother than expected is how the visuals help the material along. As bright as it is, the light pastel color pallet really does suit the show, and given how the backgrounds have the same aesthetic sensibilities as the character artwork, everything just compliments each other. It’s not like, say, Arifureta (the 2nd season of which Studio MOTHER helped out with before the release of this show) where absurdly bright character colors are contrasted with regular greens and browns to make the eye-searing colors stick out far too much. Fuufu Ijou actually has a uniform aesthetic, and a distinct one at that. There are also some neat visual gags and edits that punctuate some of the comedy, especially with the Final Fantasy and Duel Monsters references. The first scene of episode 1 certainly has dodgy CGI, but the show doesn’t employ that much past that, even with the buildings and interiors. Given how most modern anime look, that fact was absolutely refreshing. Additionally, outside of episodes 9-11 which make up one singular arc and defined timeframe, every episode sees Akari with a new, distinct set of nails. The show definitely has its wonky and flat artwork moments, the editing can be a little rough, and there are scenes that could stand to have a little bit more actual animation in them. Even still, for a modest production, there’s certainly some real charm given to the look of the show and its fun little details and intricacies. While director Junichi Yamamoto had only directed small music videos, OVAs, and smaller scale ONAs/ONA series, he and director Takao Kato did a generally solid job.
That being said, the music was honestly the least engaging part. There are a few decently evocative and dramatic tracks, but otherwise, Yuri Habuka’s OST kind of just exists. It does what it needs to do, occasionally does it well enough to slightly stand out, and leaves as if it was never there in the first place. The super cutesy Liyuu OP “TRUE FOOL LOVE” isn’t personally appealing either, and the main ED, “Stuck on you” by Nowlu is a decent smooth nocturnal pop song, it’s her ep 12 ED, “Shallow” that sticks out as a particularly pleasant song. There isn’t a whole lot else to say about the show’s music, unfortunately. It’s competent, but there’s little in the way of anything memorable.
In spite of everything going against it, Fuufu Ijou is a decent and likable wish-fulfillment romcom It’s frustrating that the backdrop and incessant monologuing hold it back because this show is almost legitimately good. It may be tropey as hell, but when it’s executed with just enough finesse and with enough surprises and moments of character exploration, is that really so much of a bad thing? The fanservice may be both too constant yet too tame for the most part as well, but rarely is it particularly distracting given it’s done within the headspace of the male MC. While it’s marketed as a seinen, it’s not a bad romance for teenagers to be introduced to and even slightly challenged by regarding certain kinds of social expectations they place upon each other. Still, if you’re even remotely well-versed in romcoms and love triangle stories, and your standards for them are a bit stringent, this is a show you can take or leave. If you’re craving for more, you might find something worth your while, provided you can get past some of its awkward rough edges. It probably won’t be anyone’s anime of the year or anything, but it’s a little nicer and more interesting than one might expect.

Preface/Intro: ---- Ok, so here I was on Christmas day looking for some new Anime. Then, oh shit, hey That's a fucking hot bae. ****IF YOU DO NOT READ ANYTHING ELSE, READ THE QUOTES I HAVE LISTED HERE**** (read the other shit category for more info) "my poor virgin synapses" "girls don't piss" "'bazoonga floss"" hey why are you undulating? no undulating"
"*groan* booty"
"chesticles"
"Monogamy?, his betrothed?"
"your knee is poking me jiro can you move it? that's not my knee"
Art/Animation:
---- God damn these girls are attractive. Good art is what I can say, nothing to write home about the animation, but the actual waifus are *mwah* perfect (also apparently the plural of waifu is waifu according to grammarly but that sounds weird as fuck).
8/10
Story/Plot:
---- I didn't pay attention enough to get why, but pretty much we got a girl and a guy living together for a 'marriage' that is endorsed by the school and is mean to help with life experience???? I don't really care about the why though, what I do know is that watching the MC and best girl (Akira, of course) (pink-haired one) interact was like chicken noodle soup for my fucking soul but with a bit of spice if you know what I mean.
7/10
Characters:
---- All of them are highly fuckable and highly waifuable (I don't care if that's not a word). The innocent one is innocent. The guy is a main character of a love triangle anime. The best girl (Akira, of course, part 2) (pink-haired one part 2) had me catching some massive feelings. Like I was literally thinking, "GOD DAMN THAT GIRL IS HAWT!" Also the way they interacted felt natural(whatever that means).
7/10
Other Shit Category that I can't think of a name for, fuck you don't judge me:
---- The dub made this anime for me, I did not watch many of the episodes in sub, but from what I can tell the quotes listed above are dub exclusive, so I HIGHLY recommend that shit. ALSO, there is many times when the voice actors just go full HH (not hunter x hunter) when they talk. Like these guys will be having a normal exchange and it sounds like it was audio grabbed from yellow youtube. Muy bueno
8/10
Personal Enjoyment:
---- Bro you got a fine shawty rizzing up a guy through ways that DO NOT seem pg-13 despite it's rating. It's pretty fucking awesome.
8/10
Overall:
---- Fuck me man, this show is BARELY pg-13 (close to R not PG) and the one with pink hair should be my wife.

More than a married couple, but not lovers, is a show about the most unethical decision I've ever seen a school do, which puts two students in an apartment together so that they can get better at marriage. Now while I do understand how dumb this sound, its execution is actually pretty entertaining. The romance in the anime is genuinely interesting and enjoyable to watch and makes you really think about what way the protagonist will shift towards. Art: 9 I have to say that for a romance the animation is pretty good, obviously, you shouldn’t expect any super high production, but it definitely is goodenough to support the amazing art design this anime brings. I love how the characters look, plus the colors really pop out at you. My only drawback is that the music for the most part is okay, but I will say the ending song is a bop.
Characters: 7
Alright… while I love Watanabe, and I am satisfied with Jirou as an MC, it is fair to say that some of their decisions don’t make the most sense, but because they go through some pretty decent development, and the writing is solid, they both end up becoming pretty great characters. The rest of the cast is also good, and while I dont personally like Shiori, there is nothing really wrong with her writing, and honestly, she does a solid job moving the plot forward.
Story: 8
While I do think the initial premise is a little dumb, the anime does a great job of keeping you entertained and interested in where all these characters will end up, or shall I say who they will end up with. I surprisingly would recommend this to those that enjoy romance animes, and overall, I’m going to give this a total of 8 points out of 10.

This is one of the few shows where I like the Anime more than the source manga and the adaptation actually blew all my expectations out of the park and then some. The manga has some pacing issues and some minor plot-holes etc, and the anime adds a lot of original scenes to provide additional context, improve world-building and modify some dialogues to better suit the situation. Studio Mother has done fantastic job with the animation, color palette and absolutely gorgeous backgrounds. The voice acting (JP) is also on point especially from VA of Jirou and Akari. Overall a great adaptation of a solid mangathat deserves a second season ASAP.

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 expecting grand will happen since I thought that it would be just another romance like Sono Bisque and Shikimori-san. This show is very sweet and cute to watch. It made me felt on why I fell in love with romance animes from the start. The story is what I’m not expecting itto be. I didn’t watch the trailer or read the synopsis. But I got a glimpse of an idea of a setting that would be focused on marriage. Heck, it’s about marriage but in a practical course. It’s a nice setting because it can be necessary for the students in high school years on how will they behave in case they would be married in the future. Koi to Uso was like a fixed marriage so it’s a different story. What I like about the story is the alliance moment between the two characters. Jiro wants to be partnered with Shiori, while Akari wanted to be partnered with Minami. So they made a goal to reach for the top 10 to switch their partners but through the course of the series, one of them might get fall in love. It made me remember Toradora, which is one of my favorite romances animes.
The good thing is, there’s no such thing as NTR here. Each episode and moments are funny and entertaining. The comedy in this show made me giggle every time. Sadaharu can be somewhat similar to Sunohara in Clannad. The romance in this show can make you thrilled and feel the fluffiness of what romance had in the first place. Every episode is so good that it can leave you wanting more. The ecchi is somewhat great but it is not the main selling point of the show. It didn’t bother me that much because Akari is a gyaru but a good character. It’s inevitable to have ecchi moments in romance animes and it can be entertaining. I thought if Sono Bisque was just like this and more focused on the romance and its message, it could be one of my favorite romcoms. The funny part of that moment is they are both shows from the Seinen demographic. You can see obviously that Sono Bisque is somewhat a wasted potential due to the excessive ecchi moments and a misleading interpretation of romance.
I love all the characters in this show. It’s not going to have you screaming at the characters, but it will have you rooting for them. This is the first time that I like a gyaru female lead like Akari and she made me understand her emotions throughout the story. She is so beautiful, alongside Marin and Shikimori. The Character Development of Akari warms my heart, I used to dislike this girl at first but after watching the episodes of this show, I concluded that I love her Personality and Character Development the most. Shiori's Character Development is not that well developed from what I can see, but we all know how much development she has it will never lead to a happy ending for her. Childhood friends mostly never win and that's a fact. Unless the author will do something that makes us in awe. The character development of Jiro is great too but he can be dense at all times. It’s not bad because most people aren’t psychics, to begin with. The other characters are so lively and full of energy. They are well-presented and fun to hang out with. Jiro and Akari have chemistry as a couple. I want him to root for both of them but Shiori is sometimes annoying. But that something happens when you low-key reject the person that likes you. You’re too late to realize your feelings for him/her.
I fell in love with the art style and animation. It seems Blue and Pink are the main colors of this show. The color palettes are so beautiful and eye candy to watch. The animation is good as expected from other romance animes. Akari keeps on becoming hotter throughout the series and it’s a good thing. Every detail in the background scenes is very capturing to the eyes.
Gosh, the sounds. I didn’t like the OP and ED that much, but the soundtrack is beautiful and warms my heart. It made me remember the soundtrack of 5-toubun no Hanayome. The music is suitable for every moment in this show. It can make you feel the romantic vibe that this show has to offer. Forgettable? I think not. The best? One of the music that’s pleasing to the ears.
I highly recommend this show to audiences and fans who want to enjoy solid romance animes. You might fall in love at first sight, even though the story is somewhat predictable. I’m captured by its title and I surely will pick the manga to see what will happen to the story. It has the potential to be one of those romance animes that’s so sweet and you might enjoy. The show has typical romcom cliché moments but it can keep you on the edge of your seat. Although it’s not perfect, it’s worth watching!
As for the last note, let’s not deny the following statement. The word “Pretending” is always going to be “Official”.

90/10 Cliffhanger endings are always a bit shit, eh? But I guess, in this case, it works if they’re planning a second season. I really like the animation style and how Jiro and Akari’s relationship grows. The whole idea of a school making boys and girls pair up and live like a married couple sounds kind of ridiculous, but it actually works really well. It creates a lot of awkward and funny moments that keep things interesting. It’s funny, but like, the drama can be a bit excessive at times. Still, it’s part of what makes the show so funny, the over the top situations andreactions are very good. Akari going from not really liking Jiro to suddenly being all over him happens way too fast, and some of the characters could’ve used more backstory to make their actions feel more believable.
Even with that, I still think it’s a solid rom-com. The relationships feel natural most of the time, and the mix of humor and drama hits the right balance. Really hope Jiro ends up with Akari. Anyways, I’m excited for season 2. This is easily one of my most anticipated season 2s, right up there with Bunny Girl Senpai.
Oh yeah, and this anime could do with a bit less fan service. It's cool, but the show really shines when it digs into the deeper stuff, especially the moments when Jiro and Akari have those serious conversations. Their relationship development during those talks is what makes this show stand out.

If you look at the title "More than a married couple, but not lovers", you may think that this is a very light rom-com. You would be completely wrong. I was extremely surprised with how they portrayed real life emotions through this work and would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys the rom-com (and almost) Ecchi types of anime. The premise of a "marriage practical" is petty unique from what I have seen. You can easily see through the course of the anime that the characters develop in quite a few ways. I really enjoyed this concept and I fully understand that some peoplewill view it as weird or unrealistic but that's to be expected in anime from time to time. There are a lot of lewd scenes while also having a mix of incredibly romantic ones. Some of the character interactions seem a bit forced at times. The romance between the main characters also flows in a weird way throughout some parts but overall, it works really well.
The colors the choose for the anime are perfect. It completely works with the theme that they are trying to portray. Overall, I enjoyed this show a lot more than I thought I would. I was looking for something to watch and stumbled across this thinking it would be a nice time killer and here I am, a day later, wishing for a second season. It was a very enjoyable and funny watch and now I'm going to read the manga for it. If you want to watch a decent rom-com with quite a bit of lewd moments, a lot of laughter, and a lot of emotion, then look no further as you've found it.
Also, as regards to the characters, Akari blows Shiori out of the water when comparing the two. Always have to say who the best girl is. Guess you'll have to watch it for yourself to see if you agree or not with that take.

This was a pretty good anime, I thought. It's a basic rom com, where two people who normally wouldn't even give each other the time of day are forced into a situation where they have to get to know each other, and well, eventually hormones take over and the inevitable might happen. I say "might happen" because if I say anything definite, it's kind of a spoiler, even though being a romcom the probable outcome is pretty obvious. Most of the time, in these anime, the outcome in some form isn't in question, but the story is in how they get there. This anime ticksall the boxes for high quality except for one. It's got good art, decent music, an interesting plot, good pacing... everything about it makes for a decent anime. Of course, the parents aren't really anywhere in the picture, but that's to be expected for an anime rom com (I actually hate this about anime, but it is what it is), especially because the plot kind of demands their lack of involvement.
No, the one criticism I have about this anime - and it's a honking *huge* one - is that the plot is not only unrealistic, it's pretty darn near impossible.
This plot follows a boy and a girl who know nothing about each other. They're put into a "marriage class" in their high school, where they have to live with the other person in a school supplied apartment for months in order to learn how to be a married couple. By doing things that married couples do, they earn points, which appear to be doled out by an AI behind a camera watching them all the time. They lose points by fighting or not acting like a married couple. (doing things that married people do seems to be related to physical intimacy in some form, which is, well.... we'll get into that right now.)
In what world would this even be a remote *possibility*? I mean, wow! Can you imagine the liability, the parental outcry (especially in Japan), the potential for *problems* that this would cause? I know that in any anime or fictional work you're supposed to be able to suspend disbelief, and even the most improbably of plots, when done right, can suspend disbelief and allow you to enjoy the story for what it is. This plot wasn't one of them. It was so far out there that multiple times each episode I found myself wondering what that school was smoking.
I actually did a google search in the middle of watching this to find out if this was actually a thing in Japan. The consensus was "hell no!".
That said, once I got past that and was able to force myself back into seeing the plot for what it is, actively ignoring the whale (not elephant) in the room, I thought it was pretty good, and actually somewhat enjoyed it.
In pretty much every way, it earns the rating I gave it, but I really don't know where to fit that massive criticism into the rating, so I think I'll do it by saying "mixed feelings" instead of "recommend". If you're the type of person who just likes a good rom com and doesn't really care whether a plot could actually happen in real life in any meaningful way, you'll enjoy this. If you're more like me and need some element of believability, well, it's a toss up. Maybe you'll like it, maybe you won't, maybe you'll mostly like it but have a hard time keeping in the story.. it could go in any direction. But at least now you know what you'll be up against.

MC is just another cuck that can't make up his mind, blushes and loses it every time a girl enters his peripheral. The MCs are blushing for so long that I start to wonder if they're constantly drunk. Maybe this show was just an ad about alcoholism? It also checks every cliche/trope on the list, from dumb misunderstandings to characters saying the same thing simultaneously for no reason at all. There is no substance to this show, it's very hollow despite how good it looks from the outside. It's just "the loser at school hooked up with the most popular girl" story all over again.The dead horse is so beat up at this point that it's barely recognizable. There is barely any development at all over the entire season, the comedy is bland and I really don't see anything worth staying for. But the art is great, so I give 1 point for that.

(Texto em PT/BR no final) Fuufu Ijou, Koibito Miman is a typical romantic comedy with a basic love polygon, but presenting the differential of already putting couples together from the beginning, thus allowing the romance and the affective interaction between the characters to be developed from the beginning, making it part of the story and not just a conclusion. The visual style of the work also stands out for talking to Akari's personality, more cheerful and exuberant, but that was just a possibility, after all, the work preferred to be concerned with other types of interaction and in other parts of Akari. To begin with, the initialpace of the anime is flawed, it appears to be rushed, but not because it speeds up events, but because instead of continuing the events, they chose to play scenes and more scenes that had no connection to each other one on top of the other, clustering disconnected scenes that together meant absolutely nothing. In the second half this ends up changing, there is a real story, but that doesn't make it interesting.
An important factor to note is the existing points system in the double course, the fact that it is possible to switch partners when both reach rank A not only creates a common goal for Jirou and Akari, allowing both to work together , as it also starts to create an unknown in the face of the relationships between them, the need to act to earn points in order to move up in rank merges with true affective relationships between the characters, creating the doubt of whether it was an act or a true feeling in any and all actions between them. As I said before, history sucks, so, as expected, this factor is not well used, the system itself, when pairs A and B change pairs, the score is added, is problematic after all, at a certain point the difference in scores goes be so big that rank A will be stabilized, without changing the position of the pairs, but I won't even go into those merits.
Well, now the icing on the cake, the thing that makes you question whether you're watching a romantic comedy or a h*****. Fuufu Ijou, Koibito Miman makes it clear from the beginning that he is more concerned with creating scenes with a sexual content than developing some minimal narrative, so all the work has to offer are dubious angles and libidinous situations. Akari visibly works as a doll for appealing scenes, but even so she manages to be better than Shiori, who when she wasn't serving as any existence to stop the main novel, served to deliver the scene with the whipped cream and the sandcastle , which in addition to being disgusting, were not even careful to give them any meaning, they simply happened, not that this will make these scenes good, but if you are going to do shit, at least do it well.
In case it wasn't clear this work is bad, I'm sad to say that because I nurtured expectations in it, but despite having positive values with the uncertainty of the veracity of the actions, as already mentioned above, and the insertions of game scenes that served to to illustrate Jirou's current situation, these positive values were forgotten, after all, the concern of the work was another and unfortunately it required appealing content to work, since concrete quality did not exist.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fuufu Ijou, Koibito Miman é uma típica comédia romântica com um polígono amoroso básico, mas apresentando o diferencial de já colocar os casais juntos desde o começo, possibilitando assim que o romance e a interação afetiva entre os personagens fosse desenvolvida desde o início, tornando ela parte da história e não apenas uma conclusão. O estilo visual da obra também ganha seu destaque por conversar com a personalidade da Akari, mais alegre e exuberante, mas isso era apenas uma possibilidade, afinal a obra preferiu se preocupar com outros tipos de interação e em outras partes da Akari.
Para começo de conversa o ritmo inicial do anime é falho, ele aparenta ser rushado, mas não pelo fato de acelerar os acontecimentos e sim porquê ao invés de dar continuidade para os acontecimentos, optaram por jogar cenas e mais cenas que não possuíam conexão entre si uma em cima da outra, aglomerando cenas desconexas que juntas não queriam dizer absolutamente nada. Na segunda metade isso acaba mudando, passa a existir uma história de fato, mas não por isso ela vai ser interessante.
Um fator importante de observar é o sistema de pontos existente no curso de casal, o fato de ser possível a troca de dupla quando ambas atingirem o rank A não só cria um objetivo em comum para o Jirou e a Akari, permitindo que ambos trabalhassem juntos, como também passa a criar uma incógnita perante as relações entre eles, a necessidade de atuar para ganhar pontos com o intuito de subir no rank se funde com relações afetivas verdadeiras entre os personagens, criando a dúvida de se foi uma encenação ou um sentimento verdadeiro em toda e qualquer ação entre eles. Como já dito anteriormente a história não presta, logo, como esperado, esse fator não é bem utilizado, o próprio sistema de quando as duplas A e B trocarem de par a pontuação ser somada, é problemática afinal em determinado momento a diferença de pontuação vai ser tão grande que o rank A vai ficar estabilizado, sem ocorrer troca posição das duplas, mas nem vou entrar nesses méritos.
Bom, agora a cereja do bolo, aquilo que te faz questionar se você esta assistindo uma comédia romântica ou um h*****. Fuufu Ijou, Koibito Miman deixa bem claro desde o começo que ele está mais preocupado em criar cenas com teor sexual do que desenvolver alguma narrativa mínima, logo tudo que a obra tem a oferecer são ângulos duvidosos e situações libidinosas. A Akari funciona visivelmente como uma boneca para cenas apelativas, mas mesmo assim ela consegue ser melhor do que a Shiori, que quando não estava servindo como uma existência qualquer para travar o romance principal, serviu para entregar a cena do chantilly e do castelo de areia, que além de serem nojentas, não tiveram sequer o cuidado de dar algum sentido para elas, simplesmente aconteceram, não que isso vá tornar essas cenas boas, mas se for fazer merda, pelo menos faz bem feito.
Para caso não tenha ficado claro essa obra é ruim, fico triste em dizer isso pois nutri expectativas nela, mas apesar de possuir valores positivos com a incerteza da veracidade das ações, como já citado acima, e as inserções de cenas do jogo que serviram para ilustrar a situação atual do Jirou, esses valores positivos foram esquecidos, afinal a preocupação da obra era outra e infelizmente demandava de conteúdo apelativo para funcionar, já que qualidade concreta não existia.
