It's just good.

Overall, I say that I recommend it to anyone that likes romance stories.

Story.
First, I have to say that the premise is just ridiculous. If it was real life, marrying a stranger would lead to disasters rather than true love. However, this is not real life and it is also Japan, so of course, this was going to work out. As many have stated, this story is just full of fluffy and romance, and that true. Really liked how each episode was about a small everyday problem they had, due to the fact that they didn't really know each other. It just adds a layer of realism to this cray set up. And the solutions were not just magically solved by plot convenience (looking at you Coffee and Vanilla)., instead, most were actually solved with some dialogue.

Acting/Cast
The two main characters were great! Matsui Airi just knows how to act, as always and this was no exception. I could help but fall for her smile and just want Ami-chan to be happy. As for Itagaki Mizuki, I had only seen him in a minor role before, and even though he is quite young, he pulled it off amazingly. Manatsu-san is just a caring and compaction guy and he didn't feel creepy as many "perfect" male leads feel.

Music
It was great and I enjoyed it.

Rewatch Value
I can definitely see myself rewatching this later on. Really liked it.
