Ouka needs to calm down about the confession rumors. I can tell she has a short fuse. Also, not surprised this show has some bits of fan service when a guy lives with all these girls in the same house.

> This is top secret

Seiha's lack of common sense is priceless. As awkward as some moments this episodes were, Arata took all this in the best way possible. He's just trying to live a normal life as a normal guy.

Arata is really trying his best to just lead a normal life but some of his sisters aren't making it easy for him.

So far, much better start than Kanokari which is not saying much, but I like it lol. Why tf is everyone so sexually repressed in this family tho? The dad drops the “actually you’re not siblings” reveal and all hell breaks lose with confessions, flirting and sexual innuendos 😭

Kotono didn’t care whether they were blood related or not, she’s had a thing for Arata for a while now. Respect to him for letting her down easily and getting out of that situation in the shower. Whether or not she actually loves him romantically or is just confused remains to be seen, but either way that wasn’t an appropriate venue to reply to her feelings so well done Arata. Kazuya would’ve had a nosebleed and passed out.

Generally really enjoying Arata as a lead so far, yea he still has the blushing and somewhat cringe monologues of a romcom protag, but he’s very intelligent and is expertly navigating a very wild situation. Every time I hear him talk, I just hear Anos and to his credit he does act quite mature

Was cool getting to know the girls a little better today, Banri still best girl, but Seiha and Minami are great too. Minami has a lot of that Ruka energy. Can’t forget my man Shion too, felt like he was making a play for Ouka. Gonna be interesting to see how everything plays out with this family. Girls all seem likeable, MC solid, DG nice production values.. there’s worse romcoms lol.

Kotono making the first move huh. The thing is though the younger a girl is the more delicate their feelings are. Creative way of deciding who gets the rooms. Princess logic sure picked quite the method to test Arata. Minami being the best in sports but the worst in studying lol. Minami's song was so fun. Still it was nice seeing her make the effort to cheer Arata up.

End of story...but bro is gonna lose the battle. Say what you want about Kazuya, he was at least an entertaining MC. Arata here hasn't done much for me yet.

He's not so boring that I wanna drop it. Then there's the directing which quite nice and I'm still curious how things will unfold.

Wow the sisters are already trying things on MC ahaha Kotono really want to marry him and doesn't care confessing while being naked while Seiha's analysis of marriage between non-blood related siblings is truly something.... the moment with Minami at the karaoke was fun though

I hope in the end the father will say "actually you're all blood-related but I just want to test your bond when you're told that you're not", and I want to have a look at Arata face when he realized he's already impregnate all of them.

Arata handled the situation well with Kotono who went all out confessing, you know what they say about the shy ones. Unlike Kazuya, Arata is not a pervert, and that earns him points.

Without a doubt, the sisters are making life difficult for Arata. In my opinion, if this ends with him choosing one of the sisters, the most likely candidate so far seems to be Ouka, though the others still need more development. Banri is still pretty mysterious, but my favorite is Minami. That said, since I picked the green-haired one, I know my team is going to lose.

episode 1
> you're siblings but not blood related
episode 2
> we're siblings but we can get married
> we're siblings but we can fuck
> we're siblings but [Japanese law] loophole

I'm assuming that episode 3
> we're siblings but we can get naked together

this anime feels nothing but a gateway to the stepsibling romcom trope and redundantly shoves the anime's concepts and premise down your throat. Like we get it bruh, have shion fuck banri already, i don't need another monologue/dialogue about them being stepsiblings. maybe I'm so desensitized but this is so tamed its funny how there's nothing else to talk about.

Roshidere has that side plot of the parent's divorce and the sister being a gremlin incest-fan otaku that actually brings a fresh and funnier version to the trope than most of the cast tries to show here.

it's only been 2 eps so I'm judging prematurely but damn me if i get tricked by the clutches of Reiji Miyajima's clutches of a bland cliche ass writing again

8:00 damn Seiha is wild too 🤣

19:05 awkward 😬

That’s nice they made up in the end.

Arata had nice individual moments with each girl this episode except Ouka.

"What the hell was that all about?"
The obvious, of course, Arata. Still, you seem to holding a rational grip under great stress so far. I expect, however, you will crack and crumble at some point.

Interesting to see how the sisters each initially reacted differently to the news from the last episode, and how big bro Arata was able to easily handle the situations.
My favourite was probably Seiha with her biology based thinking about Arata and the sisters, she seems so smart yet also lacking common sense.

Loving this so far and interested to see how this progress, will they all end up having feelings for Arata like Kotono ??

(P.S what a great E.D);

At some point something has to happen. If this is a mindless romcom where all that occurs is predictable, sexual innuendo then I’m out. It’s looking like another Amagami where zero happens for 12 episodes (when I bolted). I like a good, well-written romcom as much as anyone but we know the premise so get on with the plot.

I mean no matter how you look at it biologically them Arata being in a relationship with any of them is completely fine, but that don't at all remove the social factor which they can never escape. Unless they publicly say they are not related then it may be somewhat accepted.

I get the feeling my favourites are gonna fluctuate between Seiha, Kotono and Banri. Right now Seiha is my favourite.

Based of how Kotono's feelings are being treated idk if she's gonna even be the one for Arata and honestly she was the only one I thought had a chance. So im starting to think this will just be your average boring harem which just never chooses one of the girls.

Ok, Seiha lied about Cousin not being able to marry law.

In Japan, 1st cousins marriage is completely legal. So if you can legally marry your aunt or uncle's kid I don't see why would anything else short of blood-related siblings be restricted.

She is just playing hard to get, or the author does not understand how laws of his country actually work.

Also gaslighting Kotono into thinking it's not that kind of love eh.....

You share no more than a quarter of a first cousin's genes (usually only an eighth), but more than that for closer relatives. But the dialog is confusing because incest between adults is legal in Japan, but if you're too closely blood-related you just can't get actually married.

Good episode.

Arata handled that situation with Kotono really well. I really hope he could take it easy soon because his sisters are really not going easy on him, just let him live his life man. The part where Minami and Arata were hanging out was really wholesome. Minami is the best sister out of all of them in my opinion.

Ouka still best girl, by the way.

With this and yesterday’s episode of Summer Pockets, blue haired babes have gone wild lol, with Seiha being the most logical one I didn’t see her making a move like that this early but hey I’ll take it, I think that beat the shower scene in the fanservice department. Now of course Seiha said she was just testing Arata, but how long until that test becomes something more lol, should be interesting to see.

And I really liked Minami’s part of the episode, she gives me Yotsuba from “The Quintessential Quintuplets” vibes for obvious reasons, and the chill relationship she has with Arata is pretty wholesome, no signs of her falling for our boy yet but I could see what they already have together becoming something more eventually, for now it’s just a really sweet sister and bro thing. And I’m glad Minami and Ouka made up over the AirPod thing in the first episode, a nice little heartwarming scene to end the episode on, I gotta say I’m really loving this show so far, it’s clearly not just an appetizer for RaG S4, it’s very much a great series of its own.

And that was a great ED, cute visuals and a catchy VA sung tune, can’t go wrong there.

FYI: The reason why Minami calls Arata, "Shin-nii" is because the kanji for his name, Arata 新, is often read as Shin, so that is her nickname for her older brother.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Seiha's move was risky huh, she tried to see if Arata would feel something, but bet she was the one feeling something at the end....
Kotono probably won't give up easily, I'd say she's the main girl for now. For now.. lol

Good to see that Arata is just as reliable as I expected—he’s got a good head on his shoulders, able to think clearly and make the right decisions, especially with how he handled the situation when Kotono tried to have her way with him in the bathroom.

I’m a little worried about Seiha. She doesn’t seem like someone interested in romance, but the way things ended could be hinting that she might somehow become part of the sibling romance plot.

Banri remains the most mysterious to me. She clearly knew something in the previous episode, and now she’s gone to their father’s room for a private talk. I could be wrong, but it really feels like she has some hidden motives.

Minami surprised me too. After the big reveal, seeing her so calm and cheerful in the last episode told me a lot about her, but after this one, I actually found myself growing fond of her. Her presence on screen felt comforting, like a moment of ease amidst all the chaos.

This episode focused on the aftermath of last night, showing the siblings going about their daily lives. Definitely a solid episode, and it looks like things will only get better from here. Just hoping the show doesn’t throw in any braindead or illogical plot twists to ruin it.

I find it odd just how much they lingered on the whole marriage and sex thing for the first half of the episode. They just learned the news and that's all they can focus on. I get that it's the entire premise, but it just comes off as awkward. You'd think their first thoughts would be on how they were never told for all these years, or who their real parents are. At least it made up for in the latter half of the episode. I have to give credit where it's due, they actually gave the tomboy the spotlight and more or less admitted she was best girl. Still impressed, visually speaking. This is a really nice show to look at.

Look, incest is only funny in fiction, not in real life, remember that.

Now, I find it very "xd" how they classify Kotone as the "fragile and delicate younger sister" when in reality the age difference between all the siblings isn't that much, maybe between the oldest and Kotone, but other than that, they're all on the same spectrum, added to the fact that puberty isn't something that only lasts 1 year xdddddddddddddd

The way that Seiha checked if Arata has any romantic feelings towards her and Kotono was wild, like damn girl lol. I wouldn't be surprised if Seiha ends up developing feelings towards Arata after that. Anyways, I'm curious to see the interactions between Arata and the oldest sister and also with Ouka, hopefully they're next.
