カッコウの許嫁
Love turns upside down when a baby mix-up sparks a fake romance between two high school students. Hilarity and heart ensue as they navigate their feelings and families. If you love witty rom-coms, this is unmissable.
Mixed up with another family's child as a baby, high school student Umino Nagi is finally meeting his biological parents. On the day of their meeting, he happens to encounter Amano Erika, a high school student at a prestigious and wealthy girls school. At her request, he's half-forced into pretending to be her boyfriend so she can avoid marrying her fiance....However, not only were they the babies who had been mixed up, they're also engaged to each other! The loving parents of both families officially recognize their engagement, and the couple begins living together. Nagi is in love with his classmate Segawa Hiro, and Erika is determined to rebel against her father, so the couple agree not to get involved with each other. The mixed-up and chaotic romantic comedy starts now! (Source: Crunchyroll) Note: The final two episodes were broadcast together as a one hour special
