The brother is not Nagi.

In the manga they mentioned that he looked like Nagi but older compared to Erika's age in the photo.

Holy fuck what a bomb of an episode. Did not expect it to get so serious. I got chills during the last part.

So the dude in the picture was Nagi's older brother. That didn't come off as surprising at all thanks to @landofthekwt 's spoiler of it in episode 18 discussion.

But man the way they played with us by showing us Nagi's fantasy lmao, at the start I legit thought that's how it's gonna work out.

Erica's surprise reaction faces were overdone in this episode and I didn't like it.

Kinda sad realisation for Nagi that Erica was so nice to him just because he reminded her of her oni-chan.

But what's up with this show full of brocons and siscons.

Never would have guessed that Nagi's birth father was the mastermind behind all of this. Did not expect him to just put Nagi x Sachi on the table. That really was shocking to see. Nagi's dad is a firm believer in the culture of sweet home Alabama.

Now all that's left is for one more Nagi look-alike to arrive to satisfy Sacchi. Erica x Nagi's older brother, Hiro x Nagi and Sachhi x the new dude. But of course it won't play out like that. With how things are looking, at least 1 heart is going to break and potentially two or who knows everyone's hearts will break and we will get a sad ending. To be honest I really wouldn't mind that.

Nagi's birth dad is denying the existence of the older brother. Imagine the older brother is dead. It would be quite a dark turn and I wouldn't really mind this happening. Want to see Erica having a mental breakdown and maybe then she'll go insane and start thinking Nagi is her older brother and marry him. That would be quite fucked up but really unique, if that happens I'll easily rate this a 10.

In any case, Sachi x Nagi seems very unlikely, Sachi sure loves him but I don't really think Nagi has enough romantic feelings for Sachi or at all. And to be honest I would hate it if he gets together with her. Either Erica or Hiro, I'm ok with either of them. I like Erica so it's good. I don't like Hiro much but Nagi loves her so why not?

Overall pretty good episode, huge improvement from previous bland and filler like episodes. Now that only few episodes are left, we are reaching the climax, this could be good and I'm hoping it to be.

I doubt Nagi is Erika's brother. Their personalities don't match and it would seem weird that Nagi would be used to living in a rich family (private teacher, playing console), and then having to live in a poor family where he can't have those

I do not know what I should think about this episode. It really feels like it went downhill after this random "older brother" introduction on this story. Unless this series is trolling me just like Nagi's father.

What is even happening? Does Nagi actually have a brother or is there some clone or memory altering shit going on?

Why is the dad so obssessed with getting Nagi to marry his sisters?

Will Hiro be ever be relevant to the plot again?

Is the writer just making this up as they go along?

And most importantly: will this show have the balls to do the legendary double-incest ending?

Erika's dad though... Whats his end goal? Now Nagi has two different sisters he could engage with, or not and go out with Hiro instead. With the "new" brother situation, I think that its just Erika's dad experimenting with Nagi and seeing what he would do next.

Also want to see more of Hiro and Nagi as we haven't seen anything too much happen with them lately.

"Hello my one and only son." That made me think Nagi had a split personality or Erika was cray. But nah just dad.

Perhaps I misunderstood the reason for the engagement because marrying Sachi would solve nothing. She was raised by the correct parents.

This anime saw the other incest anime airing this season, saw competition, and added another incest plotline coz why not. Brilliant. Ngl, it felt like a cop-out, I was hoping to see how Nagi would deal with the revelation in the short and long term. not the first time, and probably won't be the last time.

Because he didn't used to study with Erika, that was her brother.

No it wasn’t, the dad said Nagi was the only son he had

Remember Erika saying that they were pretending as if he doesn't exist? Might have something to do with that.

You really can’t stretch this show out to a season 2 and expect It to be good. Everything just needs to fall in place already and just “happen”. The show is already moving too slow add it is now and I’m getting tired of it. It’s like I’m watching a kids show right now on Disney Junior. It would take a literal miracle for season 2 to be good.

What will happen next? Of course, they'll forget about it, forget about the brother plot, and Nagi will go back to skirt-chasing Hiro as always. This is why the show sucks so badly. No matter what happens, the characters will just forget it in the next episode and the MC is the worst simp in recent anime history. He's as bad as Yuuki Rito in To LOVE-Ru.

Because there's no other justification they can come up with for why Nagi shouldn't end up with Hiro. Gotta push incest.

Yep, after 19 episodes Hiro still is the one...and it will be funny (and rushed) if he ends up with another one although idk if the anime is finished or not so maybe this will not be a complete adaptation...

Sachi is back an well again!

More importantly, we got storytelling about Sachi and Nagi's past. Cute kids but honestly, I don't think they changed much in terms of personality. It was still nice to see their connection in the past though.

You are always the first comment, how?


I've also been wondering that because I see them post on A LOT of forums

Boy, he's slow to realize... Sachi realized it back in episode 1.

Sachi is my favorite to win, as a manga reader. But I have a hinge Erica will win simply because she's the girl he needs, not the one he necessarily wants.

I have very similar questions too. At this point (I'm only basing this off of the anime) I think that Nagi has no brother and if he does maybe he's dead, the dad wants Nagi to marry one of the sisters due to inheriting/running the hotel business and/or an agreement made w/ Sachi's parents when Erika and him were swapped, I'm sure Hiro will make more appearances but not sure if she'll be relevant, and no idea on the last two questions lol. Hopefully the last few episodes clears up all these questions for us.

Also I forgot to mention in my previous comment, but it always cringed me out a little how Erica's train of thought goes immediately to: "I'll be an e-thot and maybe get my big brother to simp for me, become my follower, and then we'd connect." Really shows that she's actually not the brightest of the characters.

No, all we've seen up until now is basically the introduction. It's just so long that they took a full 24-episode season to get into. But it's really gonna launch from here - I'm a manga reader.

This got intriguing.
Erika told Nagi the person she was looking for, and showed her that photo. Nagi saw the picture and thought it was him but no, it was his brother...Nagi has a brother. He took the news in stride and is going to help her look for him. Sachi recovered and returned to the house.
The thing is that Nagi was quite doubtful about this issue, and went to his real father to ask him. While Erika was telling Sachi about this, she was surprised xd. And Hiro recreated the story on some dolls haha. Nagi while asking him about it he says it doesn't exist, and also mentions to him about Sachi and that if he marries her this will be solved...hmmm.

I

I'm with Hiro until the end, but seriously this episode annoyed me, I liked Amano's Dad until this episode. And why japanese autors always push incest so much?? I'm liking this anime but seriously every time it brings up the incest route i fell like dropping.

I always thought the boy in the photo was Nagi’s twin brother, but Erika says older brother. Something doesn’t seem right and I now think there is no brother, it’s just Nagi who used 2 different first names. But why can’t he remember living with Erika, and then later moving to his “adopted” parents? I guess more bombs are to be dropped.

And I also don’t get the “if you marry Sachi that will also solve everything”. Solve what? Maybe I am forgetting some basic stuff about this show. Why does he have to marry one of the sisters?


Lol, been trying to find someone who answer the last question as well. Like, why can't they just be close family friends, no pressure to anyone? It's not like the dad can't take him under his wing to be his hotel tycoon successor without him marrying either of the girls. It's just... why? @_@ It just sucks and doesn't make sense and like, neither of the parents bothered to listen to the kids in the first place, and now that Nagi is bringing the discussion to him, he's just being weird about it, like, I was hoping for something that was just better, after the dad's supposed meddling =_=
