The reviewer's comment about feeling split in two by the leads rings true for me as well. I am obsessed with my cat and love looking at maps and atlases so I identify heavily with our awkward, loveable couple.
The manga was a pleasant surprise when I discovered it and the anime is proving to be quite the treat, too. |

This is a romance anime for socially awkward introverts who are comfortable with themselves and find someone else they're becoming surprisingly comfortable with.
While their relationship begins on the premise of a lie, we're already seeing them enjoying each others' company and becoming more and more invested in each other. Also, it's nice to have another Saori Hayami romance on Thursdays. I love how they threw in The World God Only Knows references using characters whose seiyuu were actually in the show and worked in the manga volume covers in the OP. Nao Toyama so often playing the loser in love triangles and now she's married to a dude and even has a girlfriend. All the while playing up her old blonde English archetype! |

My wife and I literally screamed in delight when we found out the princess was gay, we weren't remotely expecting this from a cute but hetero romance series and it was such a nice find. Honestly enjoying watching these two slowly get together for real, it's been a good time.

It's sweet and funny that Takuya thinks Rika is the most serious and committed to maintaining this act...even though she's actually losing her mind because she's genuinely falling for him. Hard.
Kind of suspicious that the blackmailer would make Rika go with Takuya back home. Like, what benefit would there be in making Rika follow him? It's highly unlikely anything that happens there would get back to the office. Rika dressing to impress her fake fiance's family. Rika's love of maps is genuine, though you can't help but see that a lot of it was born from all the loneliness she felt from her mom being gone so much and projecting her desire to travel with her. She seems very self-sufficient and happily so, but on some level does she want someone in her life? Grandma knows what's up! Rika is even helping out at the family farm like she's already part of the family! |

My theory that I want to be true is the blackmailer is the boss, but she's doing it because she realises these two people who would be good together would not naturally get to know each other and fall in love without a bit of a push to put them in more social situations where they depend on each other
