Every guy wishes to become someone successful and famous that all the girls would just scream out his name and asks for marriage. And that is Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru!, shortened as Nakaimo, premise. So allow me to vent out my thoughts for the show.

STORY: 5/10
It may not be the first to feature this, but Nakaimo still delivers a story that has been retold by many animes before. From the start of the story, the show made it clear that it will definitely include some incest - specifically brocon - which I am now getting used to.
Nakaimo centers around Shougo Mikagami, the next head of his late-father's successful company who is sent to Miryuuin Academy to look for a life partner but is thwarted when news of him having a little sister who attends the same academy as him came in and is now struggling to find her. Along the way he meets various girls that took interest in him but Shougo is having trouble choosing from them fearing that one of them maybe his little sister.
The story's a first but the main concept is as bland as ever. But a plot twist in the end did earn a few points for me. However, it alone can't make this stand out from the bunch. The story can also be humorous from time to time while fan service is just waiting around the corner preparing for a proper scene to show off some thin fabric and skin, which kept me either ogling or annoyed when it became too much. The story all throughout didn't exceed my expectations but what was surprising is the revelation on who Shougo's true little sister is. Wanna find out, watch it yourself.

VISUAL QUALITY AND AUDIO: 7/10
Like its story, the visual is what you'd expect from the given genre. The art emanates warm colors found in the well detailed backdrops. Character design is pretty especially how they highlight a given character that it separates it from the rest of the cast. Animation's decent too.
Voice acting is well delivered and greatly mimics the character's expressions. Soundtrack is good but not all memorable.

CHARACTERS: 7/10
Nakaimo features a cast of wacky people; the protagonist, the busty honor student, a tsudere swimmer, a cross-dressing ninja, a blonde elitist, a gluttonous president, a young shop manager, and even a loli teacher. Given that, their personalities and characteristics are quite unique but it still what you'd expect from an anime of this genre. Their girls' ways to approach Shougo is quite amusing and sometimes humorous. Character development takes place as the story progresses.

OVERALL: 7/10
Not the kind of an anime that will go against the flow but Nakaimo delivers a fun-filled romance story. I greatly enjoyed this that I finished the series and I'm still willing to watch it all over again. So Nakaimo is worth checking out in your into the common harem genre.
