The romance comedy More Than a Married Couple, But Not Lovers. has arrived on Crunchyroll, complete with an English dub and subtitles. The 12-episode series, which aired in Fall 2022, follows high schooler Jirou Yakuin who finds himself in a mandatory "marriage practical" with classmate Akari Watanabe, despite his crush on Shiori Sakurazaka and Akari's own romantic interests.
Studio MOTHER animated the series, adapting the manga of the same name. The premise centers on the "fake relationship" trope, forcing Jirou and Akari to navigate cohabitation and social pressures while pretending to be a married couple to earn points and potentially switch partners. The show explores the awkwardness and unexpected developments that arise from this setup.
With a MAL score of 7.6 from over 230,000 voters, the series garnered a solid following for its comedic take on high school romance and its exploration of love triangles. The ensemble cast's dynamic and the characters' often-frustrated attempts at romance are central to its appeal.
Now fully streamed with both English dub and subtitles, More Than a Married Couple, But Not Lovers. offers a complete, comedic romantic entanglement perfect for viewers seeking a lighthearted yet dramatic high school story.
