About Domestic Girlfriend

Natsuo is a high school student whose crush on his teacher leaves him crushed and frustrated. Hoping to shake off the gloom, he goes to a mixer and ends up spending a reckless night with Rui, a girl who also feels adrift. They part with vague promises, not knowing how tangled things will become. Soon after, his father returns home with news of a new marriage and two housemates who were part of his past. What starts as a simple romance soon spirals into a complicated web of attraction, jealousy, and loyalties within a crowded household and a school setting, where every choice carries consequences.

This anime is an adaptation of Kei Sasuga and Tatsuya Takahashi's manga, released in 2019. It translates the mature romance and sharp emotional beats of the source material into animated form with a devoted voice cast.

The show sparked conversations about taboo romance and the ethics of relationships that blur age and family lines. Fans debated how far the story should push boundaries and how anime treats intimate themes with teen characters.

Audiences respond to the drama with mixed but leaning positive energy, drawn to the intensity of the relationships and the emotional honesty the series attempts. It holds an 8.16 out of 10 score from 455 votes, indicating a solid reception.
