1/10

A nationwide high school program that "prepares" you for marriage by forcing you into a domestic relationship with a random person? Seems like it wouldn't work. So I guess it's a good thing that if you do things that appear to be marriage-worthy (read: generate ecchi scenes), you will be graded well. Why would you bother? Because the highest graded couples can trade partners.

That's right, the best plan an entire nation can supposedly come up with to prepare people for marriage is, "pair random *minors*, monitor them on camera, and force them to put on a happy, loving façade for those around them, and then ... dump that person for the one with whom they really want to have a relationship." What a trash premise for an excuse to make an ecchi show.

Also, every couple appears to be heterosexual. What about...? Ah, right, that doesn't happen in Japan. Hot garbage.

This series is a solid 9 up until episode 10, but good god, that ending is an incredibly frustrating, disappointing, and depressing 2, so I will grudgingly, GRUDGINGLY give this a 5 overall.

No lie, the characters are very good, with solid development for the MC, but I wouldn't have minded more than the last-minute exposition for the 2 main side characters. The overall story is great; it certainly pulled me in and got me invested.

The music is fantastic, especially if you enjoy classical. And the ending, man, the ending ruined the entire thing for me completely. Felt like getting emotionally beaten with a nail bat. ... I'd call the overall feel of the ending maybe something between "bittersweet" and "what the f* is this?".
