Reveals Cast for MCs’ Parents

A Couple of Cuckoos

By Epic Dope Staff | January 17, 2022

The babies-switched-at-birth trope is very emotional. Meeting the biological parents is always followed by strong emotions, but this anime has a hilarious take on the whole thing.

A Couple of Cuckoos has unveiled an English-subtitled PV for its anime series scheduled for an April 2022 release.

It also previews the show’s opening theme, ‘Dekoboko’ (Rough), by Ikimono-gakari’s vocalist Kiyoe Yoshioka.

The PV starts with some soft and low-key romantic scenes shared between Nagi and Erika, who were switched as babies and put into an arranged marriage when they grew up.

It then introduces Hiro Segawa, the beauty with brains whom Nagi has a crush on, and Sachi Umino, Nagi’s adoptive younger sister.

The franchise also revealed a new key visual featuring Nagi, Erika, Hiro, and Sachi holding eggs in a birds’ nest.

The anime takes up two ancient and problematic tropes but blends them in a way that doesn’t make the audience uncomfortable.
