Anyways I knew this anime was about some weird step-sister incest shit, but I still watched it because I just felt like watching something shitty. I was prepared for the incest shit, not for how rapey the show is. To be honest, this show could've been at least decent without all the gross shit. God, I just want healthy lesbians relationships in anime, not gross, yuri shit, and THIS.
First of all, Yuzu and Mei are sisters? What the fuck? Step-sisters but still sisters. "Oh well it's not biological so it's fine." Legally? Technically in some states, yes. Morally? It's still gross in most cases. If they were raised as siblings, or see each other as siblings, then it's gross, because they still have a sibling relationship. Step-siblings are still siblings. I have step-siblings and since I saw them as my siblings the idea of dating one of them makes me wanna die. Yuzu and Mei weren't raised together, but they call each other their sister and stuff. And the show is all "Oh! Look at these sisters making out. Isn't that so hot?" It's like they wanted to write some gross incest crap but decided to use the "Oh, well technically they're step-siblings!" as an excuse.
The incest isn't the only problem I have with this show. It's also super rapey. The characters sexually assault each other many times throughout the show and it's portrayed as sexy and romantic, and even brushed off as a joke. It seems that every time Mei kisses or touches Yuzu without consent (or vice versa) they get even closer. Ew. Sexual assault and abuse aren't romantic. Mei and Yuzu are such an unhealthy relationship. This is some Stockholm syndrome shit. Also didn't Yuzu, who is 16, go on a date with Matsuri, who is 13? Um? Also kinda gross.
They could've created a story similar to this without all the incest, sexual assault, etc. They were trying to go the whole 'forbidden love' route when the step-sibling aspect wasn't needed. The fact that they're both girls could've been forbidden love enough. Homophobia still exists. Make them not step-sisters, make the forbidden love aspect the fact that they're gay. And get rid of the weird rape shit. Boom. Fixed it, now it isn't gross. Or hell, if you wanted them to remain sisters, get rid of the romance and focus of their sisterly bonds or some shit. Just not this. We're really sick and tired of all the lesbian romances in anime being some weird, creepy shit.
