Akari Watanabe is a Gyaru who was assigned to be [Jirou Yakuin's](https://anilist.co/character/191673) partner during the marriage practical, a special course to train students how to function in a real romantic relationship, despite her wanting to be partnered with [Minami Tenjin](https://anilist.co/character/273110/Minami-Tenjin), her true fool love. She hopes by training by acting as a perfect newlywed with Jirou, she can earn the two of them enough points to swap each other out for who they truly want to pursue. However, after spending more time with Jirou, she begins to second guess herself and how she truly feels.


Jirou, a third-year in high school, is forced to live with a gyaru named Akari under a course called the "Couple Practical". In order to be paired with their own romantic interests, they're going to act as a married couple...!? 
Note: Nominated for the Tsugimanga 2020 Award in the Manga Category.

Third-year high school student Jirou Yakuin hoped to partner with Shiori Sakurazaka of the same class in the mandatory "Couple Practical" course. In this practical, students must demonstrate that they have the necessary skillset to live with a partner of the opposite sex while presenting a certain level of harmony to the video surveillance that grades them. 
 
Unfortunately, random chance put his slightly subdued self into the practical with the person polar opposite to him, the gyaru Akari Watanabe. Akari on the other hand hoped to be paired with her crush Minami Tenjin. 
 
Their hopes are doubly dashed when they find out that Shiori and Minami are assigned together. Thus, they reluctantly decide to cooperate to reach the top ten, which would give them the right to exchange partners if both couples agree. To that end, Jirou steals Akari's first kiss without realizing what he'd done, while giving a hurried good-bye kiss...
