Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru!

Shougo Mikadono's father has just passed away, and now he must become the head of Mikadono Group, his father's company. After completing the training to take over, there is just one other stipulation he must adhere to: he will need to find a girl he loves at his new school and marry her by the time he graduates high school.

Shougo transfers to Miryuin Private Academy, and it seems like he has many girls to choose from, such as Konoe Suruma, the class representative as well as his first new friend; Miyabi Kannagi, a standoffish but kind girl; Rinka Kunitachi, the student council vice president; Mei Sagara, who runs a cafe and dresses like a witch; and Mana Tendou, the student council president. However, there is a complication: one of them is his long-lost half sister, and he has no idea which one, so how can he become romantically involved with any of them?

Kono naka ni Hitori,
Unlike many other shows, the main character actually has to urgently get a wife which helps develop the plot unlike many other romance stories where the story gets no where. The twist is that he lost his childhood memories and he has a lost sister who is trying to marry him.

The main character seems like a really nice well rounded person as he is not too much of a pervert, loser or gets into too many accidents. However, as most characters do, he makes stupid decisons that piss people off. The people around him all seem to have their own unique personalities.

So ... far, it has been enjoyable without too uncomfortable or stupid moments.
Overall, i would give this show an 8 as it is nothing special but nothing bad either. If you watch it without expectations you'll probably enjoy the comedy and the progression of the plot. However, as most harems are, its not perfect but at least the story is going forward ( doesn't look like a back to where you started story). It's obvious that the main character does not do things the easy way or else there would be no plot and a simple resolution.

I would recommend people who enjoy nice romance anime to watch this. However it isn't a show for people who want a clever main character that uses strategy to solve his problems like code geass or death note

Mixed Feelings

NakaImo
Fast review.

Story
The problem with this anime is that it was predictable, the story is good but predictable and in the 9th episode i knew who the sister was, it was obvious if you payed attention to the things they said and what they knew till that episode, and even in the first episodes i knew she was going to be the sister with another suspect that i had, but i knew it, was predictable so the story was fine.

Art & Animation
Being an ecchi harem anime this should have great art, but it was just good, nothing amazing or great, the uncensored parts were fine, Ikusu ... parts were good and funny, it was good overall, don't expect much nudes.

Sound
It was fine, the voice acting was good, but the background music was ok, the OP and ED were boring, overall was fine.

Character
Almost everyone were ok, just Miyabi and Ikusu were interesting and sometimes Konoe, but it was fine because of somethings that you will see, if you get to watch it.

Enjoyment
I enjoyed the art and the comedy mixed with the ecchiness, it was fine.

(Previously on "WHO IS IMOUTO?”)

Shougo had just came back from his father's funeral. He had learned about his large inheritance, but in order to receive it, he must attend a school and get married to a lovely girl. But, one of the girls is his long-lost sister. Shougo, heir to the Mikadono Group, knew he didn't want to bone his sister, so he became a temporary Private Investigator, searching and uncovering the identity of his long-lost sister. Will he succeed? Or will he bone his sister?

With his naive, kind, and determined personality, he ventures forth into the unknown school called Miryuin Private Academy and searches ... for his sister. There, he encountered many women, like the blond, competitive princess Rinka, or the childish and quiet student council president Mana, or the mysterious witch girl. Every girl he encountered were suspicious and questionable. He needed an assistant and, thus, Ikusu, aka 'Mr. X', showed up. With 'Mr. X, as his partner, they followed up on some leads and would soon uncover the mystery. Or will they?

[Cue the CSI Theme Song: “Who are You” by The Who]

(On this Episode of "WHO IS IMOUTO?”)

Private Investigator Shougo has been, for three days, searching for the elusive Imouto. He has followed up on several leads, all of which had led to dead ends. As of now, there are five potential candidates, and they all seem very suspicious, as if they know who is the real “IMOUTO”, but refuse to tell him. He was getting desperate. He needed evidence, he needed some lead.

Just when he was at his wit’s end, Mr. X, his partner, burst through the door. She noticed his frustration and offered a suggestion.

She said, “Why don’t we do a DNA test? I’ll get the hair samples of all the candidates and then we can compare them with your hair.”

He had almost forgotten that Mr. X was a ninja in training, and it completely slipped his mind to use a DNA test. What a fool he was.

He said, “Your right! Why didn’t I think of that? Go get the samples, and then perform a DNA test.”

She complied and went out the front door.

[Several days later.]

The results were in, Shougo was holding a vanilla envelope, which contained the answers. He opened it and stared at the contents.

“My God”, he said, “This can’t be true!? Can it?”

“What? What happened? Who is it?” asked Mr. X.

“This girl. I…I was close to her…very close to her! And, yet, she’s my sister!”

“Tell me, who is it? Tell me!" she yelled.

He stuttered, “It’s…it’s…it’s…

*Tune in to next time on “WHO IS IMOUTO?”. Where we reveal the true “IMOUTO” or is it?*
