Overall there were many heartwarming moments and sweet scenes but a couple things ruined this show for me. I couldn't get past the mc never growing a spine and how it ended. There were so many other ways it could have ended but they chose what happened instead. If you're looking for a reason to watch it I believe it's good enough, but the ending might not leave you satisfied. I'm sure people came to this for kiss scenes and other stuff like that so it might not matter to them but there were times where I straight up wanted to scream for the mc to make up his mind. There were other anime that were worse so I guess it's alright. Anyway, this isn't an anime to watch when you're too bored to see anything else because I think it's ok.

A very interesting tangled love story!
mohdtoriqkhan27 July 2017
First of all, the anime is mainly about love between several high school students namely between Yukari Nejima (the main protagonist), Misaki Takazaki and Lilina Sanada. However, in this anime world, there's a BIG hurdle or plot twisting factor in this love story and that is the government's 'scientific partner choosing system.' Once reaching 16 years old of age, the government will choose one's life partner and it is a mandatory to follow this government's order. If it's not obeyed, there would be consequences.
Secondly, I don't want to spoil you guys of the intriguing story line, but all I can summarize from the series by reading the manga (because I can't wait to know what will happen to these adorable characters, YES I pushed myself to read the manga, THAT is how interesting the story is!), is that Nejima is constantly bombarded with events that are confusing him in choosing his life partner thus putting him in a situation in which whether he should be following his government's assigned life partner (Lilina Sanada) or not.
Nejima has been in love with his crush Takazaki since childhood but sadly weren't appointed with each other. Here comes the first mystery, when Nejima received his government's notice through his cell phone (with unknown interference plus which lasted just enough for him to read through the whole message before it turned off), it is stated there that his life partner would be his crush, Takazaki. However when the official document arrived, he found out that it contradicts with the message that he received earlier.
What's the answer to this mystery plus what will Nejima do? Who will he choose as his life partner? And if he chooses not to follow his government's order, what will happen to him and his assigned life partner? Let's find out together! :-)
Thirdly, there are also mysteries shrouding his love interest, Misaki Takazaki (or is it Takasaki? Anyway, moving on..:-)). THIS part, in my opinion is the most interesting and I REALLY MEAN INTERESTING part of the whole story! I can't wait to see the truth to be unfold behind the mysteries of Misaki Takazaki. This is the second time that I'm feeling REALLY REALLY curious of characters in an anime, next to Naruto's Uchiha Itachi.
Fourth, the comedy, drama and naughty scenes are all well balanced and well placed! It really hooks you in a good way, making the story light and easy. The story reminds me (well at least myself,) of the love stories of the 80's and 90's, it's got that 'fantasy and dreams come true' touch.
Fifth, for music, the opening and closing themes are okay.. The in-show songs are well placed and well conducted.
Well finally, all in all, I really recommend this anime to those drama with humour lovers. Although I'm actually an action and comedy genre lover, this anime REALLY piqued my interest, and IT IS WORTH watching!
The reason why I didn't give it a 10/10 is because of the waiting I have to endure in wanting to know who Yukari Nejima will choose as his life partner in the end, I really hope the story ends well. If it doesn't, well,.. I'd still give it a 9/10 because of the interesting story line! :-)
WARNING! If you're the type of person who is easily moved emotionally, be warned that there are several points in this anime that would really test you emotionally (in terms of sadness and feeling sorry), like myself. Make sure you have strategies to lighten up your mood and lift up your spirit afterwards.
My credits firstly goes to the Almighty God, thank you for bestowing the story's idea to it's author, Musawo Tsumugi. Secondly, to everyone who have dedicated their times in publishing the manga, translating them and in bringing the show to television. Many many thanks! This story really makes my everyday life more meaningful, by having something to look forward to from time to time. :-)
Have fun guys! And by the way, this is my first review! :-)

Great concept terrible execution
ACollegeStudent13 June 2021
Rating: 4.0
To not spoil the concept was great but it just turned into a show where the writers contrived situations for the characters to kiss each other. Honestly a lot of the romance either had little build up or was straight up forced. Not going to mention that cringeworthy ending and the MC who just could not grow a spine and make up his mind.

One of the very best romantic anime.
apyseth14 September 2017
If you love romantic genre, there is only one anime better than this, and that is Golden time. There is nothing else. I am not talking about slice of life, like clannad.. but entirely romantic anime. The story will take you in depth, but without much context. So its simple and pretty. The OP and ED are out of this world. The background music is addictive and beautiful is the word I can only say. The art is light, descriptive and quite colorful. The story is twisted and soft, which I love.
Overall a must watch.

Love and nonesense

Warning: Spoilers
First of all, I dont really understand how people are saying that it is the best romance anime. Just because there are lots of kissing scenes?
Anime started well and I really thought it to be an Anime of my liking and so i continued. Later on I got to know how stupid and irritating of a person MC is.
He claimed to be loving someone for past 5 years but when a new girl came into his life and it's only been a month or two, he can't choose either of them.
He goes around kissing both of them on ocassions. There is no sense of loyality. I can only see lust. Dialogues are stupid and the whole "we have to protect her" talk is just nonesensical. Ishort, there is no sense of reality in this romance anime.
The more I think about it the more i start hating this anime. Please dont waste your time on this one.

It's not for everyone; good characters & great moments

Not a fanboy of these types of things. A friend of mine turned me on to Ninja Scrolls and I really loved that movie. I watched the TV series for that, and it wasn't near as good, but good enough. I accidentally left the credits roll to far and this TV series started playing on Amazon's auto-play feature.
Decided to give it a go.
Honestly fell in love with it. This coming from someone who loves Supernatural and Star Trek...
Characters were well fleshed out, the plot could be seen as slow, but it was exploring each characters desires and relationships. Some scenes honestly hit home for me, and I watched them over a few times.
The ending seems to be the issue and for me, it was perfect. I can't really get into it, that would require a semi-spoiler but I was very happy with the ending.
Hard to define things and how to end this review. It is not something I ever wanted to watch but halfway through the binge of the series, it went from a want to a need to watch the rest of this.
In another month or so I plan on watching it again. So worth it for me.

Top Tier romance series.
manoranjangarnayak15 January 2023
I seriously dont get why this is so underrated.i mean i can think of 2-3 reasons. Still it is not enough to hate this series this much and low rating it. First of all.the art style are super and The storyline is a interesting and unique one. And the Bgm is really top tier for sure.you can watch it yourself and feel the bgm.the romance scenes are literally so good,so real. My best waifu misaki really a loving personality and the on thing i hate in this series is the Mc(protagonist) he literally don't have a spine. A coward who dont know what he is doing.i mean he isn't true to himself.this man seriously dont deserve misaki.well you will know the reason once you see it. Honestly i was hesitating to give this a try firsthand but i swear i dont regret watching this masterpiece. Really a top tier anime series. Trust me give this a try. If you are a romance genre Lover you will definitely find it intriguing. I am waiting For a happy ending in S2.i.hope they continue this series.
Criminally Underrated.It has potential for sure.

I mean i dont see any reason to hate this series.i dont why this series is getting so much hate and unpopular. The characters are so adorable except the protagonist. The only character that pisses me off. He really dont deserve misaki(the main heroine).well all things aside this series is full packed with romance. If you are a romance lover then definitely give it a try.let me point out the pros and cons of this series.
Pros:All characters are super loving and adorable.mainly the main heroine. Ahh i am in love with her.my new waifu💙. The bgm is of super quality.it will literally soothe your soul. The storyline is top tier too.
Cons:The MC is annoying. He literally don't deserve misaki.i mean if you are in love with her you are going to stick at it till the end right. But my man get his assigned wife,spent some time with her and he thinks he is in love with her.and now he wants both. Reminder(this is not a harem).the mc doesnt want to loose any of them he literally want to be with the two of them.well you will know once you see this series.
Well anycase this series is so intriguing,that i tried to read the manga after it.then there is also disappointment. There is two route where the mc ends up with misaki and another route where the mc ends up with his assigned wife by government.i seriously dont like where there is two possible way to end the series or this rout system.i cant see the mc with anyone but misaki. Thats all. I dont know seriously why this series rating is so low maybe because of the manga.i dont know.well i will simply write a line for this series:Best romance scenes you cant find anywhere else. Really top tier from my pov. I hope they continue this series where the mc end up with misaki.i mean i want them to continue from the misaki route.i dont want the other route to animated for sure.
