Domestic na Kanojo

In their teenage years, few things can hurt people more than the heartaches that come with unrequited love. Such is the case for Natsuo Fujii, who has found himself entranced by his school's ever-cheerful teacher Hina. Deflated by this unreachable desire, Natsuo humors his friends and attends a mixer. There he meets Rui, a girl whose lack of excitement rivals that of himself. After bonding over their mutual awkwardness, Rui takes Natsuo to her house and asks him to have sex with her, hoping that the experience will stop her friends from treating her like a clueless child. With his hopeless feelings towards Hina still on his mind, Natsuo hesitantly agrees.

Equally unfulfilled by their "first times," the two decide to part ways as strangers. However, before he even has a chance to process this experience, Natsuo's father drops a major bombshell: he is getting remarried, and his new wife Tsukiko Tachibana is coming over now to meet Natsuo. As if that was not enough of a shock, her daughters—and, in turn, Natsuo's new sisters—are Hina and Rui Tachibana, the woman he's in love with and the girl with whom he shared his first night. Now, Natsuo must come to terms with the feelings he has for his step-siblings as his eyes open to a darker side of love.

The anime ends well and is decent, so why all the hate? Is it because of the manga? I haven't actually read it, so I can't say how it compares, but personally, I believe the anime shouldn't be judged alongside the manga, as they're different products despite sharing the same story.

I enjoyed the anime; it's entertaining, and while there are moments where you might dislike certain characters and some interactions don't feel very organic, overall it's quite acceptable (especially compared to the generic trash that comes out year after year). At least it stays true to the characters' personalities.

The soundtrack is good, both the external ... (opening and ending) and internal, fitting well with the anime and conveying what's being shown. The use of licensed songs at certain relevant moments is a huge plus.

In conclusion, the anime is fine; the characters are memorable, and the drama holds up. I'd recommend it if you're looking for something to pass the time; you might be able to take some aspects seriously, but not too much, really.

Mixed Feelings

When i first saw this anime, i was still an innocent wee man and.. hell, this sh*t for real traumatised me! i started to hate japanese R+ anime from that day forward. I still cant cope with that and im afraid of rewatching this anime again although im kinda interested to rewatch because a lot of people talk about this anime in particular. Now, i just watch iyashikei, CDGCT(Cute Girls Doing Cute Things) and some LGBT(GL, Genderbend, BL and so on) anime. Thanks, Domestic Girlfriend.

Its basically kinda like incest.. but not because its a step siblings(its plural because.. iykyk) but..

Also, i cant remember the ... story and just fraction, i dont know if this feelings are real or just exaggeration but i really cant bring myself to rewatch it so i cant really tell.

This show has so much more than just incest. You have affairs, teachers sleeping with her students (who is also her brother), sex between strangers (who later become siblings) and just a whole lot of bullshit. It’s not as fun as it sounds. This shit is painful. Hina’s a bitch, Rui could have been a great character but she’s in love with her brother, the best character is a slut but she doesn’t get any screen time, the main character is a stupid dumbass and my favorite scene is his best friend making fun of his sister. This was so uncomfortable to sit through. I ... honestly wish we got more of the slut. When that’s what I’m looking forward to then you know this shit is ass. But what really annoys me is how the show tries to be well written and mature. I can’t enjoy this shit ironically if the dialogue is actually decent. This show’s writing is solid enough just so I can’t enjoy it ironically but just bad enough that I can’t take it seriously. Fuck this show.
