General Summary:

This anime is about a 17-year old high school girl named Asami Onohara who is secretly married to her 25-year old physics teacher, Ichimaru Kyosuke . Being a high school student is tough but Onohara-chan has no idea that the life of a married high school student is a lot tougher. She is striving pretty hard to become a good housewife in order to please her clueless husband, so he’ll reward her with the fulfillment of her fantasies. In other words, the ulterior motive for trying to be just a housewife are solicitations for her husband’s taking her virginity. Unfortunately for Asami Onohara, there came several obstacles such as her father, her school friends and rivals in front of her. Will she get past all obstacles and achieve her desires together with Ichimaru?

Art and Animation:

Asami’s character design is stunningly gorgeous and sexy with such a busty body. Most of the other character designs are so-so. But this polished animation is flowing nicely throughout the show. Plus we get great shots of fanservice centering on Asami’s sexy figure. That is the best part of the show.

Character Development and Storyline:

At first the plot is good and the show seemed promising. But the storyline doesn’t have any substance. I find the storyline a drag. It focuses on the poor character interaction between husband and wife. It drags on throughout the whole 13 episode. And ends with a dissatisfactory finish. Other characters whose purpose is to hinder Asami’s goal contribute little to the enjoyment of the show. I find most of the characters either boring or annoying, as well. The only ones I can stand are Sakura and Asami. The characters including Ichimaru and Asami aren’t well-developed. Their personalities seem two-dimensional. All Asami cares about are her fantasies of sex with her husband. Kyosuke is totally clueless and doesn’t understand Asami’s feelings.

Final Summary:

I personally think it is a rather decent show. The only good points about the show are, fanservice and a cute housewife with huge boobs. But I rather enjoyed it. The storyline and character personalities could have been written better. I would say it’s not exactly much worth watching, other than the fanservice.
