More than a Married Couple, but Not Lovers. TV Anime Celebrates Good Couple Day With Sweet Visual
While Valentine’s day celebrates all couples that are and hopefully will be, November 22 in Japan is “Good Couple Day,” a day to bring those couples closer together. To commemorate the day, More than a Married Couple, But Not Lovers. has released not only a cute visual but a new trailer for the series looking back at the episodes so far to insert song “Touch” by Liyuu.
But that’s not all, opening theme song singer Liyuu–who rose to fame in Japan for her cosplaying–also dressed up as Shiori Sakurazaka for the release of the single on physical media. Different images will be available to those who purchased her single, but a preview was released ahead of the campaign.
Based on the manga by Yuki Kanamaru, More than a Married Couple, But Not Lovers. is chief-directed by Takao Kato (To Love Ru) with direction from Junichi Yamamoto (Armor Shop for Ladies & Gentlemen) at studio MOTHER, with series composition by Naruhisa Arakawa (Spice and Wolf) and character designs by Chizuru Kobayashi (Lagrange: The Flower of Rin-ne chief animation director). Crunchyroll is streaming the series, describing it as such:
Partnering up for a high school project with your crush is a dream, but what if it’s with someone you can’t stand and the project is marriage? That’s what Jirō Yakuin and gyaru, Akari Watanabe will find out as they’re tested as a couple. If that wasn’t enough, their crushes are partners too! If they wanna switch, they’ll have to make this arranged marriage work and make it to the top ten.
