WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Yoshioka Riho is an art director who has not had much luck with romantic relationships. One day, she meets Eita who is from the future and is a time travel agent who has travel back to the past to catch illegal time travellers.
The title which means "lovers, do not travel through time!" refers to the concept of the show where Eita and Yoshioka Riho catch couples and erase their memories because they are illegal time travellers.
THE GOOD
+ It is not often we get science fiction time travelling comedies.
+ I love how everything from the future looks so retro, kind of like the Jetsons. It is a really good idea to give future tech a distinct look with the limited budget.
+ Yoshioka Riho and Eita are funny. It is not laugh out loud funny but the two episodes are made me smile.
+ 20 minute runtime means there is no ounce of fat in the pacing.
+ Yoshioka Riho vs Lilily is the best feud!
THE BAD
- Nothing bad about this feel good comedy.
THE MEH
= Because they are only catching couples, I am worried there might not be enough variety to the story.
SUMMARY
If you are after a brezzy, time travelling comedy with a retro look, Toki wo Kakeruna, Koibitotachi. Thanks to Madman subs for hardsubbing this. I got it from luwuang's discord. Watchable.

Thanks for the recommendation, I've enjoyed following your blog for years. Just commenting to recommend that you check out "Tasogare Yusaku." It's about a middle aged character actor. I've only seen the first episode, but I think it has a lot of promise!
Haven't watched this drama yet but i loved the writer's prev works: summer time machine blues and beyond the infinite two minutes (both films about time travels). i like his approach on this theme, unique yet ordinary. Can't wait to watch this drama.
