What is A Couple of Cuckoos?
#

A Couple of Cuckoos (also known as Kakkō no Iinazuke) is a romantic comedy that follows the chaotic life of Nagi Umino. Nagi is a 16-year-old “super-studier” at Meguro River Academy who discovers a shocking truth: he was switched at birth.

While attempting to meet his biological parents, he crosses paths with Erika Amano, a brash and outspoken girl who wants Nagi to be her fake boyfriend to avoid an arranged marriage. However, the twist arrives when Nagi discovers that the daughter his biological parents raised—the girl he is intended to marry to resolve the hospital switch—is actually Erika herself.

If this premise of forced proximity and mistaken identity sounds like your cup of tea, you can watch the anime on Prime Video.

Is the anime really finished?
#

If you are looking for a definitive conclusion, the anime alone may not be enough. While the series has expanded with a second season that debuted in July 2025, the source material is still progressing.

According to recent reports from January 2026, the A Couple of Cuckoos manga has only just entered its final arc. Because the manga is the primary source of the story and is only now reaching its conclusion, viewers who watch only the anime will likely find themselves needing to transition to the manga to see how Nagi and Erika’s relationship finally resolves. To get the full story, we highly recommend you buy the manga.

Who should watch this anime?

This series is best suited for fans of the romance and comedy genres. It appeals to those who enjoy “will-they-won’t-they” dynamics, high school settings, and tropes involving arranged marriages or fate. The contrast between Nagi’s disciplined, studious nature and Erika’s outspoken personality provides much of the show’s comedic energy.
