Heh, this was nothing short of a guilty pleasure with the first episode featuring lots and lots of Yume and Mizuto together. For some reason, the first epsiode also decided to to put Yume in a towel because why not.

Seems they wanted to flesh out their relationship chemistry as much as possible at home, school, etc. Oh and that bath scene was awkward as hell.

From the same studio (Project No. 9) that brought you HigeHiro, here comes the supposedly next "dumpster fire-cum-spiritual successor" of Domestic Girlfriend: novelist Kyousuke Kamishiro's family remarriage, for the two MCs from being ex-lovers to being siblings: Mizuto Irido and Yume Ayai.

DIALOGUE+ once again delivers a good OP song, there's just ain't one that recently misses.

The "Onee-chan" or the "Onii-san" debating their position in the new family, and one can already tell that this "drama" is gonna be so messy, my closest reference being to Masamune-kun no Revenge. Also, the sexual pandering in this feels almost cringe to watch, for the one who confesses loses the game. Even things like who's boss at home, the standards have definitely been warped between the two.

Even in school, both Mizuto and Yume must conceal their true identities, but it doesn't even take long to fly that Yume is already that close to Mizuto from the get-go. Also, their home is where all the raunchy stuff happens (and I remind you, this is between stepsibilings whom were once lovers), and even from the very beginning, it's clear that the relationship of the two will be one full-blown melodrama that even though this is advertised as a rom-com of sorts, it surely doesn't feel that AT ALL.

I at least can accept HigeHiro, but this one...eh, it's smearing the lines of love and incest. I'm already fearing for the worst.

Is it normal to walk around the living room wearing a towel, even if your brother is there? Their moments are really cute, I like both of them even though they have to be a bro and sis but yeah... this relationship is very interesting, I've read the manga version and yeah this is just as I expected.

Will their parents find out? I mean Yume is hiding like that, lol.

Domestic girlfriend didn’t get a sequel and by all means it shouldn’t too. But hey who cares about it when there are so many bootleg versions running around like have a look at this, my stepmom’s daughter is my ex. I guess the title itself explains the ninety percent of the plot lol. Again it was nothing that we haven’t seen one-thousand times already. Also these series of coincidences are way too much even for this medium, like she has to be the ex, she has to be the new step sister, heck they even got the same classes lmao.

And wait they were about to kiss in the end, right? The fuck their parents didn’t arrive a minute early, should’ve caught them red-handed. Just the kind of first episode I was expecting.

Honestly the idea sounds interesting but so far the characters have been trying so hard to dis each other that you can't really tell if they have any good quantities at all which doesn't make them likable.
I thought they would back done eventually and make up at some point but i just hope it won't be over the entire course of the anime else this won't be a good watch.

The parents are trying hard to make a nice family tho which was nice to see but that's what you can expect from a newly wedded couple.
Now the question is how long will it take for their kids to get along.

If you are feeling that the (ex) couple are dissing each other in this first episode, it means that the adaptation (for ep 1) stayed true to the source material. So far so good

Also, the definition of incest seems to be quite controversial and I don’t know why. To me it’s very straightforward: incest is emanated from blood relation, no blood relation no incest. And even with that considered, still, some might see the act of romance between step-siblings to be deviant. But oh well, I personally see no problem with it soo…

Ngl I'm getting a Domestic Girlfriend flashback out of the this though they're nothing alike at all in some case and the incest vibe I'm getting is very strange. Just gonna pretend like they're not brothers and sisters at all, they're just some broken couple who coincidentally stayed at a house together and that relationship introduction was actually pretty cute with the so forth segment, also I thought they were going to kiss at the end, got scammed, hope their parents didn't caught them :S

Ohhh no I decided to check this out on a whim and I'm getting some PTSD of other shows I didn't like so much, this is going to definitely be a bad one full of despair by the looks of things. Agree with some of the others on here, this feels like a bootleg version of domestic girlfriend with all the obvious tropes hanging around and them seeming to hide from their family too. Not the best start but I'll give it a chance for sure, it has potential to be better then what I downplay it for.

I am thinking that you are having flashback of Domestic Girlfriend. If that’s true, I’d say this is nothing like it. This one is more like exes trying to find out about themselves and have their mindset become more and more matured. It’s quite drama-free as long as I concern, and I’m a LN reader and currently at the final half of vol 6

I ended up checking online for more info and it was different then from I expected, I'll give the LN a read to see more about it though.

HMMMM...... another Kyoto-setting anime.
Both of them were cute, especially when they were teasing each other. Yume with glasses is the best Yume. She should continue wearing it.

Since I've watched alot serious shows last season, this is perfect for something to remove that seriousness and just watch a trashy dumpster fire rolling mid-air and lands perfectly. JP dub is solid, love their performance especially Kayano-san and Hikada-san.

Well, then. Yume may be technically born 30 minutes earlier, but she's doomed to stay the little sister by virtue of being voiced by the ultimate loli and little sister VA, Hidaka Rina. *nods*


Just one small complaint, though... I mean, we do have the title and the summary, but would it really be that hard to actually explain their previous relationship in the series itself? (But I will forgive them if it's done properly in the next episode.)

Yes? I seen my sisters in a towel a bunch of times. It's weird in this situation though because they'd both willing being intimate with each other.

ngl, it aint AS bad AS majority is whining, seems 2 b yet another case when majority is a herd of animals following ones opinion

as for animation quality - studio is steadily climbing up the quality - animation is solid, drawing details r quite neat actually, studio is starting to have their own characteristic behaviours in character design - since Yume resembles Sayu from Higehiro visually

as for storytelling quality - pacing is steady, not sure whether accurate to manga/ln, but so far seems almost logical, sort of interesting where this is going 2 advance - there r 2 many directions as of rn 4 this story 2 go, therefore a solid watch in this season

p.s. thank god both mcs aint behaving like degenerates like in kanojo ocringemasu

Now thats a awkward relationship to bring into a family. Damm thats an impressive library that Mizuto has. Still an interesting game to determine who would be the elder sibling though. That was a nice counter to Yume's assault. Being in the same class as well lol. Looks like on her first day Yume's been pretty busy. Still Yume's efforts to break through to Mizuto show well the lingering feelings she has for him. Though Yume went to far with her prank the two of them almost both lost in the end there. Overall an excellent opening ep that while doing well in introducing the main leads also did well to showcase the trials that they'll be putting up to test each other. Its nice to see Rina take up lead role this time. The premise though kind off reminds me of Kaguya.

Before watching the first episode (mostly because Crunchyroll didn't let me xD), I was reading comments here and was really worried because so many complain. I have to say I read the manga so I know a bit of the story, but now after watching I don't get why so many complain about this episode. It is actually quite good. The animation looks decent, the music is also ok and the story and pacing is just right and the synchro sounds pleasant too (at least for me). Well many complain about the towel scene or about incest but honestly after watching the episode till that point it should be obvious that she tries to tease him and goes way overboard (as he mentiones too xD) and incest is about bloodrelated siblings (so what if their parents didn't marry and they would still be together since middle school - then it's ok but not now? get your things together and start complaining about real incest xD). I mean people watch Kaguya-Sama and love it and complain here about the same teasing games, but ok you can just drop it here. Well for me it was a nice episode to watch at the end of the day and I look forward to the next episodes and how those two try to get along/live together. 😊

Edit: for all who have problems with Crunchyroll: either watch it in the desktop app or change back from the beta to normal, then you should be able to watch it. 👍🏽

The show starts just like in it did in the LN, but unlike the LN they don't explain the two characters past relationship, I assume the next one is going to do that.

The rest of the episode was just like the LN with Yume saying she has a brother complex in order to help Mizuto.
But the towel scene happened a little different in the LN.

The art-style is pretty similar to the LN, but what I really didn't like was Yume's voice, idk it sound too mature for a girl who was supposed to be shy and innocent in the past, and just got to high school.

Still pretty decent so far, I wonder how many volumes they will adapt.

Great episode! Yume and Mizuto try not to upset their parents and so decide to take the fact they dated to the grave.
Their parents think they get along well xD.
Yume wants Mizuto to call her onee chan...
They were both born on the same day but Yume was born at 11:04 whereas Mizuto at 11:34. They each want to be the older sibling!
They start a game of whoever acts unatural for a sibling is considered younger...
Yume exploits the rules and opens his sacred drawer so Mizuto uses his smooth talking tactics to make her lose!
They are in the same class in school also!
People try to make friends with Mizuto because they know he is Yume's stepbrother...
She stops that by pretending to have a brother complex though xD.
She walks out the bath with a towel to try fluster him but her towel nearly falls... She overdid it lol.

Looking forward to the next episode!

Interesting episode, I just call this series "My ex-girlfriend is my step-sister" and that is apparently what all the episode was about for the moment. We obviously need that scene of Yume in towel, it is neccesary to show in a state of semi-nakedness the girl of the cover in episode 1, we need to get more viewers (btw, this is not sarcastic).

Feels like there’s always this herd when the word “step-siblings” comes up. The people on the internet have this same behavior just from seeing that word in the title. You search for the reactions to this anime’s PV and they all feels the same as if they came out of a hive mind. Seems like there’s (at least) a part of the world that is very sensitive to this specific “topic”, and I think I know at least one reason for that - people have been watching too much “educational movies”
