On her 16th birthday Kobeni is told that she has a fiancé. As a kid she has been engaged by her grandfather with Hakuya. Now Kobeni is forced to live together with her fiancé and his little sister. There are only 5 chapters released on the mange so there is not a lot of progress in the anime. We see Kobeni and Hakuya growing closer together and Kobeni tries to recall her memories of when she was a kid and met Hakuya. In my opinion it is a rather ordinary romcom show like there are already many out there.The main character, Kobeni, is rather plain as well and Hakuya is rather amusing with his expressionlessness but still not above the ordinary. HOWEVER, the biggest stars of the show are the little sister Mashiro and the always pervy big sister Benio who steal the spotlight whenever they appear. Most of the humor from the show derives from these two. ''I hate sundays, they are so boring.'' *Dances* So overall it is a decent anime to watch in between some other shows.

***This is a spoiler free review***   Kawaii, kawaii, kawaii, kawaii, KAWAII, KAWAII!!! And Moe. Story: 6/10 There is a story and I have to say even though it is just your run-of-the-mill high school drama, they did do a pretty good job injecting some of the unique nuisances that pertain to the non-human characters. The fast run down of the plot is that a side of Kobeni's family descend from a sort of animal/human hybrid race and it has been deemed that Kobeni must marry into the family. Thus begins her awkward adventures with her fiancé Hakuya and her aunt-in-law Mashiro. Things happen in the story but you see them coming a mile away. What really brings the show together is the humor that is present. The gags between Mashiro and Benio along with the sexual jokes pointed at Kobeni were pretty much "lol" worthy each time. This is also most definitely a kawaii heavy show as there are just way too many cute girls present. All that said however the plot is generic feeling and the plot points are not groundbreaking. Animation: 8.3/10 I really liked the animation, the character models looked really good, action scenes (though rare) were very fluid, and backgrounds looked great. The comedy scenes had the usual exaggerated plain looking style in order to bring out more laughs. Overall a very good looking anime. Sound: 9.5/10 The voice actors did a tremendous job. No I mean a spectacular job! They were so in tuned with their characters and a lot of scenes showed off how well they worked with the other characters in the show. The opening and ending for each episode was way too catchy and well done (the ending has been stuck in my head for around 3 months now). Music in-show was also very fitting. Characters: 10/10 I don't normally give out perfect scores but the cast in this anime were so in tuned with each other. EVERY scene felt like it was worth watching for either an awkward teen love moment or a funny gag. The back and forth between Benio and Mashiro or the funny but extremely accurate insights of Mayura were a blast to watch. This is an anime that you do not watch for plot; you watch for the kawaii awesome cast interactions. Overall: 8.5/10 Overall this show was an amazing watch. Yes the plot was a little dubbed down but the interactions between characters, the catchy soundtrack, amazing voice performance, and very well done animation had me anxiously waiting for each week's release. This is a muct watch if you like Moe and comedy. Enjoyment: 9.4/10 Thanks for reading my review!

I really liked the characters in this anime, but the plot was very slow. I stuck through it until the end, but I wasn't completely satisfied by the finale. I think the storyline is still funny and it was a nice watch. It just left me feeling that this anime could have been condensed to half the episodes it used. It's not something I would reccomend binging on. Rather it would be good to watch an episode when you just need something to relax to.
