*Some spoilers for first 9 episodes I guess*
First people diss this anime as trashy because it is about incest. Except it's not, they're not blood related in the least and their parents married out of coincidence. Wow very incestuous, more like very inconvenient but still not incest. "B-but it is by law". Lol ok.
Secondly people act like this anime is borderline hentai. There was only 1 'sex scene' in the first 9 episodes I watched and it was in episode 1 and nothing was shown. How is this like hentai again?

How am I supposed to take any of the top reviews on MAL seriously when they misled me so damn much about this show?

Now, for it to get to School Days level of raunchiness, Natsuo has to bang all four girls plus Hina/Rui's mom within the next 3 episodes. I'm not that pessimistic. At most I expect he has sex with Rui one more time, maybe twice at most, and perhaps has sex with Hina. And that's actually pretty realistic in a modern setting with a love triangle, that the 2 girls would want to have sex with the dude.
So... yeah screw MAL reviews. This show was treated very unfairly. If it indeed does go to complete shit in the next 3 episodes, I will post an update.

Enjoy your shit but don't dismiss what this show actually is. The reviews are correct: It's incest.

Yeah DnK gets a bit too much hate. I like to think of it as a mature drama. There’s a bit more sex in the manga, but it never occurs so much that it feels overbearing. If anything, it more accurately reflects how actual adult relationships work more so than the fluffy high school romances(nothing wrong with those tho) that are more common in the medium.

Hahaha. So a man and a woman, not blood related, are in an incestuous relationship because their parents are in a relationship as well (after the fact, to boot)? That makes no sense. Just some dumb arbitrary line.

well I think this show is average and it's copy of kuzu no honkai. (It just seemed that way to me) well, I gave 7 for eromanga sensei and I quite enjoyed that, but this isn't good I think.

I watched episode 10, and the drama got even better. Here's hoping for the last 2 episodes to prove you enlightened anime critics right.

The OP slaps I'll give you that, but other than that the story is dumb af, that's not how a sane person handles these situations. Why would you fuck a random girl that you just met on a whim because you sort of bonded. It's pretty dumb in general but the waifus are pretty hot.

If you wouldn't bang a cute girl who says "let's have sex" inside her empty house in the dark of night, then I applaud your upstanding moral self-discipline but let's be real, 90% of guys aged 16-18 would make the mistake to sleep with her. I can't be too angry at Natsuo over that, especially at his age, and being a virgin. Add to the fact that 10 episodes in and he never has sex with her again (dunno about 11-12 yet) and that goes to show he is indeed able to keep his dick in his pants.

Finished episode 11. It was a good episode as well. SPOILERS:
Natsuo and Hina's relationship is going strong, which is my personal wish so I'm happy. But then! The two were caught in a photo kissing. Dun dun dun! It's not 10/10 drama but where is the trashiness? Where is the filthiness?
Second sex scene in the anime happens in episode 11. Nothing is shown, and it is a sex scene between a man and woman who love each other. She's his teacher, blah blah, the burden is on you to explain why it's wrong for a ~21-24 year old woman to be romantically involved with a 17-18 year old man.
The only argument I can think of is "power imbalance" which has some merit if the genders were reversed, but with a younger man with older woman, especially one as feminine and petite as Hina, there is absolutely no power imbalance between young and old here. No bad "imbalance" anyway. I mean clearly Natsuo is wearing the pants here and forced that ring on her. Which was a pretty based moment, not gonna lie. So is that an "imbalance"? Seems healthy enough to me for a relationship.

Episode 12 has to really screw things up for me to rescind my current feelings toward Domestic Girlfriend. Here is what will piss me off: Hina completely distances herself from Natsuo and the two are like strangers or at best "just siblings" but upon closer inspection act more like strangers to each other. Another shitty scenario is Hina decides to stay with Natsuo, but at last minute he decides he loves Rui. That would be totally stupid. So we'll see if it's one of those scenarios, or maybe something totally different and somehow worse. Stay tuned! Gonna sleep for now though, no rush.

Weird time for this thread to pop up, as I've just yesterday started the show and binged all 9 episodes as well so far.

I really like DomeKano so far. It's a huge ride. So many twists and turns, the story just sucks me in.

I don't care it's incest, I've watched other incest shows like Citrus and they were enjoyable for me as well. Although OreImo was cringe.

MAL reviews as well as many other people are misled when it comes to these types of shows. Citrus and Scum's Wish had their share of haters as well (although not to this extent), I think because it's "taboo".

I mean, think about it, so many things are "wrong" according to society. Infidelity, incest, Teacher x Student relationship...

But it's just a show, and I love these shows that touch upon these subjects.

Finally, I think some people are just afraid of sex or something, I've seen this quite a few times where people brush off an anime as a cheap "Hentai" just because it has sex in it. Like, grow up?

Ignore the haters, enjoy the show, we're in for a ride.

my problem with this anime is the mc he's so wishy-washy and he's well aware that he's doing the wrong thing hurting the girls he says he's loyal but 2 sec latter he's already with another girl he's awful that's pretty much my only problem with the anime

I think this show is great in its own way. I wouldnt argue its not an wierd situation or even an incest but thats the fucking purpouse of the show. It shows a situation where a guy likes girl but then they get into brother-sister relation ship. Like in real life would you expect the guy to just stop liking the girl he loves for like what 2 years. Another thing people dont understand the difference between hentai and anime(as much echi as it might be). Hentai is basicly a show where plot would stop just for the protagonist to fuck. For example redo of healer. This show is legitimate hentai because in the middle of the episode they just stop on their way ehatever they are doing and they start fucking. Doesnt matter they would be in the middle of a square they just fuck. In this show in ep 1 its something to set how the relationship of rui and natsu will look like. The situation is something that could happen in real life and dont try to tell me different. The scene with hina is on the other hand climax of the show. Some romances just ends with a kiss or a hig but here they just took a little more realistic aproach for a adult relationship . Like they could have just do some wholesome shit but thats not what the show is about. But all this is wrote i dont mind people hating this show. Like ok maybe they just didnt understood it or they just didnt like the premise thats fine. But just stop saying its hentai. Its just a different aproach to romance genre. Ofc i love wholesome romances with a cute relationship of the main protagonists but sometimes something different is at the very least interesting and you have to show that the world isnt wholesome at all. I would sumarise the people who watched this show (based on my view) into two main groupes) people either like the things about the show or other poeple hate the show for the same reason the others like it. And last thing i would never base anime on mal reviews because people who actually goes in the review section and doesnt only put the -/10 are psychos imo(no offense pls dont kill me just find it wierd).

I've just finished the show now. I'm not a huge fan of the ending, but honestly since it's an adaptation of a REALLY long manga, there is much more to be told afterwards.

According to mangaupdates, it covered 76 chapters in these 12 episodes which is quite a lot. I assume they also skipped stuff a bit.

If I had to guess: It'd be something like Natsuo decided to wait and focus on himself and his dream until he becomes a proper adult and then he can go searching for Hina. The teacher-student will not really matter anymore, and he'll also be more confident in his himself and more serious about Hina.

Hina also cut her hair like all heroines do after a heartbreak/breakup but I'm sure her story is not done just yet.

I'm just going to read the manga afterwards. I know people complained about the ending, but it already happened to me once that I liked an ending that people complained was trash (Food Wars) so who knows.

yeah exactly but to be honest it shows how some guys really are. I think i saw one comment that sumurised this anime perfectly imo - girls are whores but guys are even worse. Simple riddle that goes as with this anime as with real life. Because life isnt always beautiful

I'm with you.

I like series that tackle the subject of sex and taboo, and DomeKano is one of them. It makes perfect sense as to both sex scenes.

With Rui, a random cute girl invited Natsuo to her house and proposed to fuck? Man, I would've jumped on the opportunity as well. Even if he had someone he likes, there's no wrong in trying it, gaining experience, etc.

With Hina, it's also perfectly good, as indeed as you said it's the climax of the show, and it fits the show perfectly to have them fucking. It would've been just weird if all they did was kiss for example, as they've already done it plenty of times before and the sexual tension was extremely high in their relationship.

Also just one last thing, Redo is also not a Hentai, but a borderline one.

The difference between a Hentai and an Ecchi is not depending on the plot -You'll find some Hentai anime with full plot actually, and if you trace back to their sources, some are Eroges and stuff that are basically full games just with sex scenes once in a while.

A work is considered a Hentai if the genitals are shown (well, censored ofc, due to Japanese law). Boobs aren't considered genitals, so there's no problem showing them.

dude it doesn’t matter if they aren’t blood related, they are legally brother and sister because of their parents marriage, don’t try to deny that this show is incest when it clearly is.

I'm actually real worried after reading these comments. Guys are taking about people being afraid about sex, it's ok if they're not blood related. But I think that you guys forget that this show is more than just incest, it's actually a trash, I can't see anything good on it, the main protagonist is dumb as fuck, but he never learns with his mistakes, just keep doing that, keep fucking your two stepsis, and also fuck one of them career, just to the other day she won't hold herself anymore. Like fuck my sister who got because of you, you're the only one who metters. And the manga, oh my god, it's terrible, so fucking boring and tiring, everything is forced, but that ending, it actually destroyed everything.
This show/manga is appealing, that's all.

But I think that you guys forget that this show is more than just incest, it's actually a trash, I can't see anything good on it, the main protagonist is dumb as fuck, but he never learns with his mistakes, just keep doing that, keep fucking your two stepsis, and also fuck one of them career, just to the other day she won't hold herself anymore. Like fuck my sister who got because of you, you're the only one who metters. And the manga, oh my god, it's terrible, so fucking boring and tiring, everything is forced, but that ending, it actually destroyed everything.
This show/manga is appealing, that's all.



Even the manga dude? Damn, I actually disliked the show but enjoyed it as a guilty pleasure but I thought there were legitimate cute moments in the manga. I agree with you the ending was shit tho lmao

First people diss this anime as trashy because it is about incest. Except it's not, they're not blood related in the least and their parents married out of coincidence. Wow very incestuous, more like very inconvenient but still not incest. "B-but it is by law". Lol ok.
Secondly people act like this anime is borderline hentai. There was only 1 'sex scene' in the first 9 episodes I watched and it was in episode 1 and nothing was shown. How is this like hentai again?

How am I supposed to take any of the top reviews on MAL seriously when they misled me so damn much about this show?

Now, for it to get to School Days level of raunchiness, Natsuo has to bang all four girls plus Hina/Rui's mom within the next 3 episodes. I'm not that pessimistic. At most I expect he has sex with Rui one more time, maybe twice at most, and perhaps has sex with Hina. And that's actually pretty realistic in a modern setting with a love triangle, that the 2 girls would want to have sex with the dude.
So... yeah screw MAL reviews. This show was treated very unfairly. If it indeed does go to complete shit in the next 3 episodes, I will post an update.
dude it doesn’t matter if they aren’t blood related, they are legally brother and sister because of their parents marriage, don’t try to deny that this show is incest when it clearly is.
Rui and natsuo had sex before the marriage. not incest.

my problem with this anime is the mc he's so wishy-washy and he's well aware that he's doing the wrong thing hurting the girls he says he's loyal but 2 sec latter he's already with another girl he's awful that's pretty much my only problem with the anime
yeah exactly but to be honest it shows how some guys really are. I think i saw one comment that sumurised this anime perfectly imo - girls are whores but guys are even worse. Simple riddle that goes as with this anime as with real life. Because life isnt always beautiful
most people who are like that know what there doing and it's how they want things but he's a hypocrite he says he likes her and there he is with another girl knowing that he's causing grief and then when something happens he wants everyones sympathy like when he ran from home cause his sister rejected him that speaks volumes about the kind of person he is and his personality.and that's why I like Issei from high school DXD he knows what he wants and he doesn't sugar coat anything

While I don’t think it is as bad as a lot of people say, I certainly do not that it’s that good. That being said, as a drama, this was very entertaining and I was very invested in the story by the end.

EPISODE 12 SPOILERS:
LOL what an ending. Was going pretty well, not quite what I wanted as Hina did indeed leave Natsuo, but, although not ideal, I can handle sad endings like this, and I like that Natsuo won first prize in a literary contest.
But then! It just HAD to end with "best girl" Rui kissing Natsuo and saying that she's gonna try to seduce him again.
Now that is some dumb shit. And then it shows Hina living on her own; she has short hair now which is supposed to signify something I guess, and she has a copy of Natsuo's book and keeps his ring in a special place... but she isn't wearing it. So... what a punch in the balls.
So yeah. Pretty terrible ending to be honest, but hey, 11/12 episodes being 5/10 or higher isn't too bad. I think it's fair for me to give this show a 5/10. If this ending was good it would have easily been a 6/10, which for me is above average.

This is indeed lower than MAL's overall rating, but a 5/10 for me is like a 7 to 7.5/10 in MAL standards. This show is rated pretty damn low for MAL standards and I just don't understand it. While this ending was pretty bad, it wasn't all that filthy like I was promised.
To be honest maybe I should rate by "MAL standards" and just give this show an 8 (rounded up from 7.5). Might just do that lmfao. But then I'd have to reconfigure all of my other ratings so I guess I won't bother. But I do feel bad contributing to the low MAL score.

Anyhow, I can safely assure you that my OG post is still accurate: Screw the top MAL reviews. They were very unfair towards this show. I guess they may have just been bitter over the ending, but that's no excuse. Domestic Girlfriend was not borderline hentai, had no explicit sex scenes (unless you consider Momo's shirt being unbuttoned and exposing cleavage as explicit, or maybe you think that a naked man and woman under sheets after having sex of which was not shown is explicit; I don't consider this explicit. Most explicit scene was the masturbation scene and yeah you wouldn't want your parents to walk in on that but it wasn't anywhere close to the explicitness of say Berserk), was not a raunchy incest show, it had decent drama (subjective as is everything, I know), Natsuo really wasn't very dumb or a bad guy and wasn't anymore a sex fiend than the average young adult man would be in his situation and in fact may have handled it better than many men would, and the show is not a 1 to 3/10. It had some nice themes about pursuing your passion too, with the literature club side plot. Not something that a trashy show would have if you ask me. And while it lasted, I thought Natsuo and Hina's relationship was rather sweet.

Some objective criticism: the side cast was very underdeveloped. But... I don't really care to be frank so take that as you will.

Rui is worst girl.
The end.

dude it doesn’t matter if they aren’t blood related, they are legally brother and sister because of their parents marriage, don’t try to deny that this show is incest when it clearly is.

So if the law says something, it is absolute and cannot be questioned? Tell me what the immorality is of a non-blood related man and woman pair bonding. There will be no incestuous offspring with deformities as they are not blood related, and the two knew each other before their parents married, to boot. Not incest.

Not blood related. Not immoral (on its own. Premarital and/or adulterous sex is immoral but I don't want to have that argument). Under a sane law and definition, not incest.

I don't see it as a hentai and it is definitely not incestuous, kinda of really awkward situation, but not incest. I didn't really like the anime though. Natso is kinda boring, don't quite see what all the fuss is about. I would like to see more characters development I don't know I think it had a great idea but poorly executed. The opening was awesome though.

Well, by law I'm pretty sure you were correct. When a man and woman who have children marry, those children become step-siblings; siblings by law. I just do not believe that this is true incest, as there is no biological relation between the siblings. So when people call Domestic Girlfriend "Alabama: The Anime" or say it's super incestuous and trashy, I don't believe that is a fair criticism. They are not blood related. It isn't real incest. It is just a very unfortunate, awkward situation.

It not dumb to not like troupes u are not into. I can't really contemplate what difference better fucking sister by parents marriage or sister by bood relation. Both are morally gross to watch (u could give out the genetic defect card difference though, but It don't matter while watching banging scene atleast for me)

Also having sex scene doesn't matter, but it not wholesome to whatever happen with the girls and him even if we forget the step sister part. I prefer wholesome hentai

Realistic? Too many questionable elements happens in the same story with same people. It does dilute any bit of realism unfortunately.

Oh well, I the end of the day its my opinion. Due to culture difference I have only seen any elements of such lifestyle from far away, so what do I know

So let's say you have a secret crush. You've loved her for a good few months now. Then your father marries her mother. Welp, you are now "siblings". But the fact remains: you still love her.
You're telling me that that's incest? Really?

Well, after my father marries her mother there are certain things I wont try to do after that. Because it will feel very wrong.

I just got done watching it to completion and I have to say that it's absolutely underrated. This was a thoroughly enjoyable watch for me, and I'm grateful that my buddy recommended it to me.

I do think that some parts were a bit cliche but it's something that I would rewatch if given the opportunity to do so. This show does not deserve the hate it received, and I'll be reading the manga here soon.

Duh, ofc it's typical hate circlejerk ~ MAL hates these types of stories with a passion.

That being said, as someone who has this as one of their fav romance manga, re-read it & discussed it a bunch, I have to say that the anime does do it some major injustice with the amount of content it skips.

dadnaya said:


According to mangaupdates, it covered 76 chapters in these 12 episodes which is quite a lot. I assume they also skipped stuff a bit.

If I had to guess: It'd be something like Natsuo decided to wait and focus on himself and his dream until he becomes a proper adult and then he can go searching for Hina. The teacher-student will not really matter anymore, and he'll also be more confident in his himself and more serious about Hina.



72 ch in 12 eps to be exact. It particularly skips out on some meaningful Hina & Natsuo content (some Rui stuff too ofc but it affects her char much less + some side char stuff) , but I got a thread on that here:

https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1888771

Don't get me wrong, I think the anime is decent and serves it's purpose of hooking ppl to read the manga. I liked it, just liked it less after comparing it step by step with the parts it adapts and realizing what suffers because of it. Still, while it's quality suffers a lot due to it, a lot of ppl still liked it so W.

Ofc the uncensored version has sex scenes too, two total (1st ep with Rui & ep 11 with Hina), and I always laugh how SJWs get triggered at "omg sex! reee". It's hardly a hentai, altho' it can get pretty lewd. Someone asked for that in this thread:
