The recent premiere of the anime "Amagami-san Chi no Enmusubi (Tying the Knot with an Amagami Sister)", based on the manga by Naito Marcey, has quickly captured the attention of the otaku community and has become a trend on social networks. Fans were quick to compare the series to the popular anime "To LOVE-Ru," mainly due to the similarities in the comic situations where protagonist Uryuu Kamihate ends up in compromising scenarios with the female leads, recalling the famous accidents of Rito Yuki, the protagonist of To LOVE-Ru.

In "Amagami-san Chi no Enmusubi," the plot revolves around Uryuu Kamihate, a young man with a difficult life who seeks to overcome his past by achieving his dream of entering medical school. However, upon arriving at her new adopted home, a functioning sanctuary, her plans to have a quiet place to study are thwarted. Uryuu discovers that not only will he live with the three beautiful and dynamic Amagami sisters, but that he must marry one of them and inherit the shrine, an unexpected situation that completely changes his life. This combination of romantic comedy and love entanglements has generated a lot of conversation among fans, especially for its constant scenes of "accidents" that are reminiscent of the classic fanservice of series such as To LOVE-Ru.

The series has not only generated attention for these situations, but also for the participation of Naito Marcey, who was Negi Haruba's assistant in the popular series "Gotoubun no Hanayome" (The Quintessential Quintuplets). This background has caused many fans to have high expectations about the story and characters, comparing the development of the protagonist and female protagonists with other romantic comedies of the genre.

In addition, the inclusion of fantasy elements and comical situations that include slips and unfortunate encounters has generated divided opinions among fans.

  • "He's clearly the typical 'lucky pervert.'"
  • "Is it okay for them to show underwear on TV Tokyo?"
  • "Is this a harem?"
  • "This is basically the sanctuary version of Megami no Café Terrace."
  • "As expected from Magazine."
  • "This is the manga that Gotoubun no Hanayome's assistant wrote, isn't it?"
  • "Does Magazine only have romantic comedies or thug manga?"
  • "I like harem rom-coms in general, but we'll see how this one goes."
  • "I heard that it's not just a harem romantic comedy, but it also has elements of science fiction and fantasy."
  • "Is the protagonist blonde?"
  • "It's the same cliché development that I've seen more times than my parents' faces."
