Kareshi wo Ron de Kaimashita is an interesting show not because its an OL wish fulfillment show about getting an ikemen slave aka Kimi wa Petto but because this is a satire about receptionist doing everything they can to get an elite husband and become a housewife.
Yes, even to the point of putting up with the boyfriend cheating. I love how Mano Erina keeps running into her boyfriend with his mistresses and she's the one troubled because she has to accept his flimsy excuses to keep her dreams alive.
The other funny thing about this show is Hasegawa Kyoko as the former legendary centre who managed to achieve the dream and literally wrote the book on how to catch an elite but is now divorced and working at a konbini.
I just enjoy the political incorrectness of Kareshi wo Ron de Kaimashita because it is through that this show explores society's views on social class, happiness and Japanese refer to as kotobuki taisha (resigning to get married).
Nothing really stands out from this show. After watching Mano Erina for years, she doesn't have the ability to really carry a show but she doesn't suck either.
Watchable if you keep your expectations in check. As far as I know, no one is subbing it.
