About My Wife is a High School Girl

Here is what My Wife is a High School Girl (Okusama wa Joshikousei (TV)) is about, retold in plain terms: a comedy, romance and slice of life anime by Madhouse (2005). The setup: Asami Onohara is a seventeen-year old high-school pupil with a hidden which has not been revealed to anyone: She is already married. Her husband, Kyosuke Ichimaru, is a Physics teacher in the same high school as her.

Also worth knowing: However, even though they are officially a married couple, Asami's father forbids them to have any sexual contact until after Asami has graduated. Asami has to hide the fact that she is married to Kyosuke while attempting desperately to further their relationship, and it does not help when there are so many interferences and obstacles from her father and other third parties.

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series.
