On the way to meet his birth parents, super-student Nagi meets brash Erika, who needs a quick favor. Pose as her boyfriend at dinner so she can avoid an arranged marriage.

No one said love was easy! (Crunchyroll)

Considering that the premise about accidentally switched babies feels like something out of a sub-par Mexican soap opera, I was quite surprised at what an intimate and sometimes boring romance A Couple of Cuckoos is. Some of the humor borders on stupidity and many of the would-be dramatic moments are based on silly misunderstandings or common genre clichés. I couldn’t really bring myself to root for any of the three girls, and I found Umino quite uninteresting, and sort of wishy-washy. What I liked the least was his relationship with his step-sister, which the show tried to push a bit too hard as a possible solution to the whole romantic polygon. I just don't buy it, and Sachi seems more like an annoying appendage than a romantic prospect. It's a bit better with the other two girls, there’s at least a little chemistry there and I understand what the writers were aiming for, but I can't say I find it particularly entertaining or enjoyable. It’s great in terms of animation and the music is audible and tries to create a certain vibe. There are a couple of stronger moments, but not powerful enough to excite me or arouse my interest. It’s just a run-of-the-mill anime that I watched until the end, but it didn’t leave a mark on me. I might even forget it in a few days. I'd have to really think about whether I want to watch another season. 4.5/10 ()
