Synopsis

The love between brother and sister. The love between man and woman. That which is most forbidden is most unyielding. The two sons and five daughters of the Shiunji family shine like brilliant gems, each with intelligence and beauty in equal measure. And with the pedigree of their wealthy father behind them, how could they not be the talk of the town? Eldest son Arata has spent his life being tossed around by the whims of his colorful sisters, yet a little teasing won't stop him from valuing his family over anything and anyone else. But when his youngest sister turns fifteen, their father reveals a long-hidden secret of the Shiunji "siblings" and knocks Arata's world off its axis...

Episode 1

From the creator of Rent-a-Girlfriend, here is Rent-a-Sister as Kotono turns 15, and the father of the Shiunji family delivers a giant bombshell, that the siblings aren't related by blood, save for Minami and Shion who are twin siblings. But nevertheless, things just turned totally chaotic with this piece of news as now marriage is on the table. Arata sure is lucky as his friends put it, but he doesn't see them as love interests at all, which hasn't changed. But of course, that isn't exactly the case anymore as now the sisters are seeing Arata as love interests. Quite a hectic scene that was, and the father sure picked an odd time to get these kids to realize the truth about all this.

From what I heard, the manga is pretty bad, but seeing how Rent-a-Girlfriend is popular that at the very least it figures to have plenty of appeal even if it goes that that path again.

Nah too many guys, or wait...1...2...3...hmm or maybe the perfect amount of guys ;p Yeah this was weird what is the point of this going to be and why would the white haired kid's only take away be "well now we can get married" no, you're still siblings so you can't. You can have non mutant babies but it's still going to be weird.
And what was with the dad, hey kids thought I'd pop in for a quick bite, drop a bombshell on you, and then leave...really? Great parenting there. Also the "didn't notice you there" in the bath doesn't really work when the freaking wall is made of glass! 9_9
What is this show even supposed to be? Maybe a new category "Slice of Awkward Life"? Oh Japan and your incest obsession, though it must be tough when everyone in the country looks like they can be brother and sister. ;P

Reiji Miyajima, the author, has got to be one of the most interesting and strangest mangaka I've ever known.

Dude makes one of the most controversial, anguish inducing but most popular and best selling manga of all time, supposedly has a smoking hot wife with a child but doesn't live with them, carries around a dakimakura and cardboard cut out of Chizuru and takes her out on dates. WTF lol.

And then he makes this, which definitely borrows ideas from harem hentai.

Sidenote, I watched this "life of mangaka" youtube video a while back and showcased Reiji's life living in a ridiculous small sized office space as his home while he is working on Rent a Girlfriend. Quite interesting actually. Just reinforces my stance that while Japan and its society may look like paradise it working there is actual hell.

Probably why fatasy and escapism are so popular, since reality is hell. Why the population is dropping like a rock, being a woman is probably hard enough being a mother must be that much worse. Probabky why so many anime moms are dead.

It started off pretty lame. Trying to be funny, but none of the jokes were remotely amusing since they were all based around the typical tropes.

The dad looked like some kind of demi human with that weird hair-beard combo.

At least it got sort of interesting when the adoption secret was dropped. I figured the oldest guy and youngest girl probably weren't related, but didn't figure them to all be adopted. It has my curiosity peaked enough to at least check out the next episode.

It made sense at first because there was so much steam, but somehow that all went away and everything was crystal clear. I guess someone squeegeed off the window in the time it took him to get undressed. What's also weird is that this supposed "mansion" apparently only has one bath.

Episode 2

And now, the girls are getting bold. First, there's Seiha who waits in Arata's room letting him know why he ended up with the smallest room for the siblings. And then there's Minami, who is very athletic as she spends a lot of time with him at school. And then there's the tsundere Ouka, who has a rather critical view on Arata, but otherwise is supportive. This is all about getting to know the girls better as Banri and Kotono got some focus the last time, and now the other girls are getting in on the action.

@marklebid

Yeah really, is this going to be one big tease? The little sister should have blown him right there. Then the blue haired girl should have came in and joined too. And pretty obvious the dad banged the big boobed oldest sister it's not like she's his real daughter. I mean Elon Musk's dad did that with his step daughter, you're going to have to go beyond reality if you're trying to shock us. And why aren't the sisters hooking up too, the athlete is a lesbian right? She should have ate the pink haired sister's "pie" as an apology instead of giving her cake ;P

Episode 3

The "siblings" go to the amusement park to celebrate Kotono's birthday seeing that it fell during the middle of the week and thus had to wait until the weekend to do it. Everybody has their moment with Arata once again with Kotono really clingy, while Banri is spending a good amount of time with him as well. And then Seiha tells the rest of the sisters sans Kotono about Arata being in the bath with her. And then it ends with Ouka showing off her affection. This goes to show that the girls are angling for Arata in their own way.

Oh, it's trash, but it's surprisingly well-written trash. The characters are distinct and they actually have thoughtful conversations. Before, y'know, revealing their baser urges.

Episode 4

Arata sure pumps a lot of iron there, though Minami is still the jock of the family as this episode is mostly about her. She's using her smartphone so much that she even brings it to the bathtub. There's a good amount of service here, and Arata even gets in on the action showing his pecs and what not.

@HOOfan_1 Yeah, that was an odd throw in. The "mom" having light coloured hair kind of eliminates everyone but Seiha though. Unless that was for artistic effect or something as they also gave him light coloured hair.

I half expected his dad to tell him he had to marry one of his sisters.

@marklebid I would give the show credit if it actually did nix all the sisters but I think its just going to keep rotating awkwardly sexual situations with each of the sisters till he makes out with at least 2 of them.

I thought they were going to avoid the whole "genius vs hard work" sports trope when she got along with her senpai, and the senpai said even though she is so good, she is the easiest to get along with, but then they had to go and ruin it with the whole "jealous teammates in the past, so I almost quit" flashback

Okay so that's at least 2 down. Maybe 2.5.

Did no one think to keep in contact with her when she decided to go off by herself? It didn't even look like she intended to tell anyone she was leaving.

Ouka surprisingly jumps into the lead.

Arata with the ever infamous Japanese constitution that can't handle some rain. Having a fever so bad you fall unconscious is something you should take him to the hospital for.

Trying to be generous, he was probably sick before then since he was starting to feel sluggish while carrying her.

Can't wait until he misinterprets that as a fever dream.

Ouka's leg healed up quickly. But I suppose that last scene wouldn't have been so sexy if they showed her leg all scabbed up.

And what was the symbolism of that bloop in the water glass? Try as I might, the only interpretation I can muster is rather naughty.

On a side note, as someone who has piggybacked people occasionally, the anime "barely resting their fingers demurely on the shoulders" trope drives me nuts. I don't care how timid you are, get those arms over the shoulders and help support your own damn weight. And don't lean back like that, for crissake.

Been catching up on this, playing it on background as I play games and, aside from Minami's chapter, I don't feel like I missed out on much by not focusing on it.
It's been very by the books when it comes to the "Blush-desu" harem stuff. It should've been easily as interesting as Amagami Sisters considering it's premise.

5.5 (6)/10. Picked it back up for Banri, liked the Minami chapter, quite appreciate Seiha, great art quality. But too cliche and predictable in execution.

They obviously seem to be setting this up for a second season.

I have to say, it would make no sense for the dad to have known there is another set of blood related siblings and not have told them, so I hope that isn't part of the twist.

Anyway, I'll give it a 6/10. The art was cute enough even if the story was kind of meh.

Total ecchi and degeneracy to the end. Outside of aesthetics, there was barely any substance from this.
They could've put a bit of effort making it an actual story instead of just cliche galore, seeing as there is an intrigue regarding the characters situations.
But alas, why care when you could just sell merch. xP

5/10. I was gonna give it a 6 for aesthetics but, that last episode was pure trash filled with ecchi- the usual episode of the show, with the important story part being smidge in the last few minutes of it.
