More than a Married Couple, but Not Lovers.
Third-year high school student Jirō Yakuin gets saddled with his gyaru classmate Akari Watanabe for the class's "marriage training" project about practicing to be a married couple. Jirō is the complete opposite of Akari, but the two know that if they do well they will be able to switch partners to end up with their respective crushes, and so they force themselves to act like the perfect married couple. <em class=de-emphasized>(from manga)</em>
