| Only two episodes into this show and Takuya already getting threats about his fake marriage. Yikes. I do think it's interesting the show explores elements of marriage even if it's fake. But...the fact that he's already on the receiving end of threats is concerning. It's probably just the first of many obstacles he and Rika will have to deal with in their relationship this season. |
 |
| And faking the marriage shenanigans begins. But hey look, their first real test of almost married life went fairly well ... i would say so, they have survived an ambush of their colleagues in their home, they can survive anything xD. |
 |
| Now dad got involved. The couple was planning ahead pretty well but they didn't take into account that their parents might get involved. And it looks like one of them is planning a lot for the couple, now they also need to take into account an actual marriage. The group coming over to celebrate was nice tho i do wonder who made that phone call. |
| Am really interested in learning who sent that threatening phone call they have only just announced that they are getting married and already someone is trying to stop it. |
| Kama is still best boy. "I bet it's the ones who can see that light who will get married" |

| Kama out of 5 Seems like a nice dad, but I'm way more like these 2 characters who wants to be discreet, however they have additional ulterior motive of it being a fake wedding so wants it discreet, but even real they would likely want like that. I am neither for nor against the dad, I want a quiet wedding, maybe not even a wedding, but I think his heart is overall in the right place (other than the "lose face" concern, I hate that mentality Q_Q) The opening had them in various different marriage/couples outfits, which is very fitting as they work in international travel company. I understand the struggle to put on the ring and I feel the value of that long walk. They are so cute together, anonymous call ruining the mood :< |

| Pretty catchy OP. Rika's natural self is adorable. But no one should be forced to hide their true joys of life that they enjoy doing. Being threatened over their sham marriage though lol. Still Rika is quite the detail oriented person. End of the day though marriage is not a necessary part of ones life. Never expected Takuya's father to be such a bigshot though. Man the traditional marriage as outlined by his father sounds exhausting. Looks like on top of the threat that they have to worry about family as well. |

| HoneyWorks can't do a bad OP. ED is hella cute too. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| The OP was fine, but I really liked the ED—it was so sweet. It was predictable that at some point, someone would try to blackmail them after finding out about their fake engagement, but I didn't expect it to happen so early in the story. And just when they were trying to keep things discreet, Oohara’s father showed up, determined not to give his blessing unless they have a big traditional wedding. Poor Oohara and Honjouji, things are really spiraling out of their control! |
 |
| Episode 2 and things already escalating quickly here! Who tf would threaten Takuya over the fake marriage? Like it’s none of the office’s business.. if they say they’re married they’re married that’s the end of it. Mfs treating Anchorage like it’s Syria 😭 you’re gonna get paid and be at a US branch with better work conditions. Also, we knew they’d have to meet family eventually, but episode 2 and Takuya dad already here!? News travel way too quickly in this universe lmao. Nice fella and seems genuinely concerned about his son. Also it’s cool to see some Kyushu traditions and wedding customs mentioned! My fave part of Japan, particularly Fukuoka.. and Kumamoto prefecture is gorgeous. Glad we got to see a little of Rika’s true self too. When she’s talking about Maps she really is glowing. I love seeing people talk about things they’re passionate for. Good episode! Adult workplace romance just hits different |

| Has to be someone from the workplace, who did that anonymous call lol. Though at this point, we barely know anyone to make any guesses.. goes for the main guy as well, he ain't much familiar as well lol with his fellow coworkers. Also so much for being a foolproof plan, I mean how did she not account for their respective families? I mean you may not visit them regularly, but it's not entirely impossible they'd not get to know lol. Looking forward to how they'll deal with the dad. |
| OP and ED are cool. I really like the ED. It's so pretty. Barely has been 2 episodes and we already have some drama. Nice. First that weird threatening call from someone. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say it's Komiya. I think Kurokawa despite her tough boss attitude might actually be an idiot. Meanwhile, Komiya might be the smart one who's pretending to be stupid. She just seems very sus. But it's hard to tell with just 2 episodes. Takuya and Rika BOTH accepting Gonda and inviting him to his home was wild. Rika could've just made some excuse and left it all to Takuya but she didn't. Would've been a terrible person if she did. But neither of them had to accept it at all. But it wouldn't be an interesting episode otherwise lol. Rika just lights up completely when she talks about things she's into. It's like she almost becomes a different person. She's like me fr. Hopefully, Takuya will help her come out of her shell a bit. Saori Hayami does a fantastic job voicing Rika. Rika's awkwardness feels more believable than Yor's tho that might just be cause of the setting. The second thing is Ohara's dad also randomly showing up and making things a lot more complicated. That was a nice cliffhanger. Wondering how the two will get out of this sticky situation. |
| OP was quite simple but that made it so wholesome & great. Really liked it. ED is fine too. Looks like Ohara is already married to his Kama. Asking permission and giving bribes lol.. Seeing this two struggle with the fake marriage thing is so cute. Fuck the guy who threatened them, I mean mind your buisness. Hope he/she gets shipped not to Anchorage but Gaza/Beirut/Donnbass. They managed the situation of "unwanted people barging in" very well. Infact with so many camouflage supplies it could rather expose them. Honjouji sparkles way more while talking about geography than she realises. Ohara did well to help her out. They are too similar so they can relate to eachother more than they think. You two get the wrong idea... I get that they are introvy but still don't considering family was a big mistake. Ohara dad seems to have intresting ideas about marriage, his reaction should be wild. |

| That cute kitty is the spazziest, and I love it so much! That speech about seeing the light in things and lighting even without being in love was so touching and real. |
Born to shoujo, forced to shounen. |
| Another great episode and their relationship is slowing growing. |
| I need somebody who can love me at my worst No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth 'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst If you stay forever, let me hold your hand I can fill those places in your heart no else can Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim |
| I really like both the Opening Theme and the Ending Theme |
 |
| another nice episode although it feels like it's moving quicker than it did in the manga, i could be misremembering. |
 |
| Already dealing with alot of strife and it's only been 2 episodes. Honjouji and Oohara are doing a great job though, they are able to handle the things they haven't planned too much for quite well. Though Oohara should atleast have thought about his family if they have marriages that are that intense. I'm also gonna guess that phone call isn't unrelated to the manager finding the whole marriage suspicious, but i guess we'll have to wait and see. Kama is such a good boy! |
  ⠀ ⠀ 【Ｎａｗｉｃ】 Enjoy the shows you love, relish the feelings you have, but never forget to keep an open mind. Challenge yourself and you'll truly find your own thoughts and feelings. |
| OK, dropping here. As someone who likes the manga, I don't feel this adaptation brings anything worthwhile. Its direction is particularly annoying, the comical effects are cliché, the music is boring, the animation is vanilla and the voice acting is without personality. I advise to read the manga, fully available on Mangadex. If anime is the only choice for you, enjoy your watch, it's a nice story with nice characters. |
Sheol01 said: Has to be a co-worker. Or maybe Rika is a schizophrenic with a dual personality and and her other self is sabotaging her. Or maybe Kama want to get rid of Takuya and get a different roomie. Or, maybe, I did it. |

| Looking at different maps all day would be my ideal date! I also like maps. If only there was someone like Rika in reality. |
| I was skeptical but this isn't bad at all |

| The cat's at the top of the hierarchy and I love it. Things keep getting out of hand for them and now with her father in law involved. |
 |
| She's lucky the father didn't get one of the other agents! Then later Her face when his father was describing the Aso style wedding! If this doesn't happen it will cause them to lose face! Oh my the comedy of errors is growing by the week! What will he say to his dad about this ... scheme? Oh no. |
 |
| Damn, every introverts worst nightmare - party with 200+ people where you're the main topic. I wonder if now she thinks maybe Alaska isn't that bad after all lol. |
| Alright, so look Oohara, I don't know who told you this, but just because your in an anime don't mean you can do this childish shit like can't put a ring on because "it doesn't feel right" or whatever. I'd let it pass if this was a high school romcom, that being barley at that, but you are a full grown adult with a 9-5 and acting like an actual child... smh. That was really my only gripe with the episode though, everything else I was fine with like how with each and every more moments we get with Oohara and Honjouji it's just more and more clear to me that they are made for each other man. Whole thing with the threatening phone call is kinda stupid though I can't lie. Like why add this, just keep this sweet and cute, what we're here for. Already have enough stakes as it is with Oohara's dad finding out about the "marriage", no need to add this pointless and stupid aspect. Really do hope this marriage goes well, because I would LOVE to see that whole Ado marriage happen xD |
 |
| Oh dam this show is getting good and pretty funny. Episode 1 was kind of a slow start for me, but episode 2 has me fully on board. So many curve balls being thrown the main characters way and its keeping me on edge. Looking forward to the next episode! |

| @rvdboom Yeah you might be alone with that. Voice acting is more than fine, and personally I'm not sure why anyone would read the manga when there is the animation to digest first. |
| This episode kinda fell flat. I was starting to doze off halfway through it. Both of them seem to have a lot in common, so like others have said, they are meant to be with each other. |
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"  |
| The two of them bonding over taking the role of a tree in the school play was expected but kind of cute. "It has so much depth once you get into it," LOL. And bonding over how they don't get "kira-kira," except when they do. "I'm not... glowing at all," *blush* Also liked Oohara saying, "I put on a ring and said I'm getting married, but I don't feel that different." It just felt very honest about how some people have personalities that don't easily get emotional or giddy. |
| Shit got real. They didn't expect their network of people to get involved. |

| @rvdboom damn, was the manga really that much better than this adaptation? I've been enjoying it so far but definitely do see the lower animation quality compared to other shows this season. |
