Episode 1 out on Crunchyroll.

I must say, that OP theme song is rather catchy.

The show has a fate theme going on with Nasa meeting Tsukasa like that. It's like they were destined to meet each other. That truck scene though. And we got a confession already from the first episode. While the relationship is moving fast, I think it's suited for this series given the premise.

Pretty neat start. The story of a married couple!

[Frontier]

No more memorable way of meeting your future wife then watching her bloodied face after she saved you from getting hit by a truck .

The Opening is a pretty upbeat and catchy song, featuring the Yuzaki's in their marital bliss and united together .

Let this be a lesson to parents...you might think you're giving your kid a good name, but it also might set up expectations for these kids that will drive them to become overachiever space cadets who rush into traffic to talk to cute girls .

Was that teacher Kanae Itou? Dude, Nasa, listen to the cute teacher voiced by Kanae Itou .

Tsukasa is a confident, straightforward, and unbelievably cute beauty with a solid air of mystery to her in-spite of how forward she is. Like how could she take the brunt of the impact and then seem to be perfectly fine afterwards, especially compared to what happened to Tsukasa? And then there's all this imagery around her of the moon and Princess Kaguya, and how Nasa's confession may have been what kept her around. She seems to have parents given she was able to get their signature for the marriage, but it seems like something's going on with her .

Nasa pushing himself through his bleeding and broken body just to talk to a cute girl...he has my respect .

Well, good thing Nasa's razorfocus on work before Tsuksa came into his life left enough savings that a teen married couple get by without even a high school diploma to their name .

Wow, a confession and marriage proposal in the first episode? This show doesn't mess around .

Tsukasa writing her married name in the air was so, so adorable .

Well yeah, it's good to see young couples getting hitched with Japanese birth rates being the way they are. At least they got a nice fake plant out of it .

Yes, Nasa, the pinnacle of any marriage is unlimited handholding with one's spouse .

[grecefar]

I like the opening.

Let's see what hata sensei got for us with this, I remember read a couple of chapters when it started but that's it, this seems a normal SoL fluffy romance with hata humor (it's not that good unless you add a character like isumi or use parodies). But it can get interesting since he can do some serious plot but I will hold my breath.

Maybe we can see some cameo in the anime, I thought the man in the office was klaus.

Spoiler for ep1:

Tonikaku TSUMARAN
What, did Hata write his delusions into a manga or something?

It was surprisingly, incredibly boring, and the only thing that left an impression was the protagonist, and the protagonist only, screaming in a loud voice.
Was there supposed to be a funny moment? Was the screaming supposed to be funny?
To the audience right now, the protagonist is just some guy who met a girl and decided to throw away the rest of his left to dream about her. And apparently he can move properly with two broken legs, which I don't think is how that works.
And you have this guy blush and scream for 24 minutes? Eww.

What's worse, is that to be honest, the character designs aren't even kawaii (cute).
Average at best.

[FlareKnight]

That was legitimately a strong first episode. These characters are damn cute. The mysteries around Tsukasa are pretty legit. How could she take that hit and be the one least injured? Where was she for years until reuniting with Nasa? Did he actually say that hand holding thing out loud or can she just read minds?

But I totally get Nasa not giving a damn and rationalizing everything with “she’s too damn cute!” Fair enough point!

Props though for that guy. Chased down the girl of his dreams on broken legs and willed himself to consciousness to ask her out! And even with a shocking deal of having to get married to be with her...he ran with it!

This will honestly be a sweet show.

[Marcus H.]

It's a very hot-chocolate-on-a-winter-night warm episode.

[arkhangelsk]

I'm less than impressed. For one thing, the girl is pretty standard anime, and they aren't doing much that would get me, the viewer to instinctively agree she's particularly cute.

The male's persistence in the face of his injuries is less respectable than stalker-type unnerving.

And they hadn't even begun to establish the basis required for even a relationship, let alone marriage even if it is just handing in some documents.

[Lex79]

It's a very good adaptation, and I'm glad they kept the most important thing: a lifelong buffet of hand holding.

[thundrakkon]

I really had a nice, warm fuzzy feeling when watching this. The mystery with Tsukasa really has me intrigued as to why she has done what she has done. The truly unnatural thing in the episode is that she looked fine after getting the brunt of the accident. Although disappearing and then coming to meet him when he turned 18 seems fantastical, it can still be explained away that she got information about him when he was knocked out for a few months, and that she has been keeping tabs on him until he was old enough to marry. So far, I like both the main characters, so that a great start.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the mystery of Tsukasa gets answered.

Y'know, I honestly thought she really handed in her parents' signature but reading online I'm starting to wonder if that was actually a bribe .

OMG it makes so much sense I assumed that it is from orphanage or something equally important for the backstory but envelope definitely looks more suited for money than for documents.

Spoiler for Speculations about her identity:

By the way from the start I got vampire vibes from her, and now, when I have an opportunity to actually think about it, we only seen her at night, and in particular going to registration office at night is strange. But bribing is also easier at night, so who knows.

I didn’t really think about it, but you may be right . In some ways might fit the expressions and conversation. The guy didn’t actually open it up to examine the documents and was pretty quick to praise NASA’s bride, though anyone would call her a lovely one. Might fit more honestly with her talking about grabbing a random person to be the witness to this marriage instead of someone she or her family knew.

I have no idea where the heck this is going, but it sure was fun.

That was pretty much my take after the first few chapters of the manga.

A vampire story would actually be nice for once... been a while since we've had a proper one.

[SeaDoor]

Anyone else's brain substituting Hayate and Athena for the main characters? No? Just me, huh?
