posted on by Andrew Osmond
On Monday August 25, Crunchyroll will release Season 1 Part 1 of A Couple of Cuckoos on Blu-ray, carrying the first twelve episodes of the series.
Kodansha Comics publishes the manga in English, and it describes the romantic comedy:
16-year-old super-studier Nagi Umino, second-year student at the Megurogawa Academy high school, was switched at birth. On his way to a dinner to meet his birth parents, he accidentally meets the brash, outspoken, Erika Amano, who is determined to make Nagi her fake boyfriend as she never wants to actually marry. But once Nagi makes it to dinner, he finds his parents have decided to resolve the hospital switch by conveniently having him marry the daughter his birth parents raised...who turns out to be none other than Erika herself!
Hiroaki Akagi (Karakai Jōzu no Takagi-san, Those Snow White Notes) is the chief director of the anime and Yoshiyuki Shirahata (episode director for Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle, Great Pretender) is directing the anime at Shinei Animation and Synergy SP. Yasuhiro Nakanishi (Kaguya-sama: Love is War both seasons, Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun) is overseeing the series scripts, and Aya Takano (Karakai Jōzu no Takagi-san, Polar Bear's Café) is designing the characters. Ikimono-gakari vocalist Kiyoe Yoshioka performs the opening theme song "Dekoboko" (Rough), and Sangatsu no Phantasia performs the anime's ending theme song "Shikaku Unmei" (Square Destiny).
Crunchyroll will also release The Rising of The Shield Hero Season 2, in standard Blu-ray and DVD formats as well as a Limited Blu-ray/DVD edition (pictured). The limited edition will come with an 80 page-artbook, six art cards and a fabric poster.
