More than a Married Couple, but Not Lovers
ANIME REVIEW
Ok so I am going to tell you a small summary of the story. The story is based on a school where a practical exam is hold for improving marriage life. In this practical they pick random students and pair them . They paired students stays together, only there bedroom is separated. Here our main protagonist Jirou loves his childhood friend Shiori and Shiori also loves Jirou but they can't express their love to each other. Jirou hopes to be paired with Shiori that's why he can get closer to her and express his feeling but life has different moto, he gets paired with another girl named Akari . Here Akari wanted to be paired with his crush Minami. Later the pair Jirou and Akari decide to score more in this practical so they can change their partners ( there is a rule in this practical, the top 10 students based on their score can change their partners). But the destiny have different thoughts in his mind. They fail to act as a couple. And their score drops. But here is the twists the girl Akari gets attracted to Jirou because of some intimate moments, later Akari falls for Jirou.
Now let's get to the end, Akari confess his crush Minami that she loves him. But the boy Minami says that he loves a different person and he doesn't have a feeling for Akari. Here one thing I want to mention that although Minami is Akari's crush but she has grown some feeling for Jirou. When she was lost in the forest and Minami came to help her but she thought Jirou has come to help her. Later Minami ask her that is Jirou dating someone ? In reply Akari tells him, no he is not dating anyone. In the end she decides that she will not hold back anymore and will try her best to make Jirou fall for her and express her all feelings to him.

Now Lets See What I Don't Liked About This Anime
Negative Points-
1. I was irritated by Shiori, who gets the most chances to close with Jirou and also kisses him twice but she holds back thinking that Jirou doesn't has any feelings for her which is a boring thing. (-1)
2. In a way you can say that Jirou was always a second option for Akari, after getting rejected by Minami she decides that now she will go for Jirou. Although I couldn't totally agree with this because I believe Akari was standing between Two way road one leads to Minami and other one leads to Jirou. If one road is blocked she obviously going to take the other road. You can say she was kind of confused before getting rejected. (-0.5)
3. I didn't liked the anime ending, manga ending was better. (-1)
Final Verdict
If you just want to watch simple romance with some little plot twists and naughty hot scenes then I will definitely recommend you this anime.
The Ending Of This Anime (Season 1) Is A 'Happy Ending'.
{Jirou doesn't ends up with anyone.}
(Sadly there is no news for Season 2. The chances of Season 2 is 20%)
