Crossover With Non-anime Series Fan Fiction ❯ Terdwilicker's Anime Reviews ❯ More Than A Married Couple, But Not Lovers ( Chapter 38 )

While the premise is unlikely, the result is a satisfying romance with remarkable depth, a character study between four people. The nerd and the Gyaru are forced to pretend to be married, sharing living space for most of the school year. They still attend classes like normal, but they come home to their shared apartment, cook and eat together, get recorded and evaluated on their empathy and romantic ability with each other (not sex, but compliments and sensitivity to emotions) in order to graduate. It is a weird show, a different variation of Ai Yori Aoshi, the original anime about an arranged marriage and romantic complications, and it works reasonably well. The interruptions via cellphone social media poison is something that apparently Japan can't remove either. Overall this was a nice show and worth watching.
