I am not going to say that I expected it to be some groundbreaking revelation. However, from all the hype surrounding it, I initially thought it was going to be unique and interesting and filled with heartfelt episodes and/or sad ones, or something, anything.
Sadly, I must inform you that this show is mostly a generic highschool romcom in disguise (without the highschool drama).
It may not feature a highschool setting, but it does not present anything new to the table that other shows haven't already done.
Yes, it is filled with repetitive dirty jokes. Yes, it is filled with repetitive embarassed characters that should not even be embarassed (because, you know, the couple are married. isn't that supposed to mean something?). And yes, the ending is not worth it, so you will just end up disappointed as much as I am.
I mean.. the show doesn't even shy away from letting you know from episode 1 that it would not be that serious nor new nor interesting.
I wouldn't say the show doesn't have its positives, though, as I think the characters are good. I just hate their conversations and the situations they are put in. Rarely would the show give you good scenes where it utilizes the characters to its advantage, and that's what's disappointing about all this. The characters are a big wasted potential. There is one scene in particular where Nasa's parents were very thankful to his wife, Tsukasa, for saving him and it was a really good scene in my opinion. At that moment, I thought to myself, "Why doesn't the show lean more into that path rather than sticking to being a generic romcom?"
If you are a big romcom fanatic, I wouldn't really recommend this. Thers is barely anything here worth spending your time on, unless you don't mind watching one of those "Another romcom for the season".
I have yet to watch season 2, and I actually have a liiiiiiittle bit of hope because of the second OVA titled "Uniform". After watching it, it kinda clicked with me and I realised what the show was trying to do all along. It was trying to gradually increase the level of sexual tension to make you "feel" the scenes where things get spicy. If you are into that stuff, then I might say you struck gold. I mean... when I watched the OVA and got to the scene where Nasa started taking off Tsukasa's stockings I was so fricking on board. Not because I was horny (because I was totally not at the moment. At least not until the scene made me so), but because I realised that season 2 might get out of its "genericness" and start diving deep into the couple's relationship and embrace its core ideas and characters. It is just sad that most of the episodes are mid-tier slice of life; and even when things get spicy, it doesn't feel that rewarding because of that. (PS : no nudes and definitely no sex. Just kisses and hugs, so don't get your hopes up)
