Is it good? I don't know, you tell me.
Is it bad? I don't think so?
Is this incest? I mean, I think no buy lowkey yes?
Is this fucking pedophilia?!?!!?! YES BUT NO!
I feel very conflicted and I feel even more conflicted because this was so good, oh my god kill me but listen up, listen. When I first watch this shit I was just getting into yaoi and anime. I had just watch two animes which were Junjou Romantica and Hitorijime My Hero and I wanted more, so I looked online for some good Yaoi recommendations and this fuckery appeared. It look sus, it look weird, and there was a little child and a whole grown ass man in the cover but I though "I am blind and I do not see anything wrong"
For my surprise, all the chapters were on facebook and then my trip began...
STORY
9/10
Putting aside the fact that yes, yes baby girl, this is incest and you have to admit it. They do not share blood but surprise, surprise, by law Ren is Haru's brother and they share a surname so they are brothers. AND THEY EVEN CALL EACH OTHER BROTHER WHICH IS SICK.
Also, I didn't want to talk without knowing my facts so I investigated a little bit about Japanese laws an according to the penal code of Japan the age to have a consensual relationship is 13 years old but we have to keep in mind that this does not apply to every single type of relationship. As an example, a 13 year old can date a 20 year old and it will be legal, but if that 13 year old has a sexual relationship with his partner that is seemingly older than him it will now be illegal and it will be punish with 5 years of prison. But they can have sexual encounters except intercourse.
So yes, I guess this is technically not pedophilia in Japanese culture but let's not play to be blind, this is fucked up. But a good fucked up and let me tell you why.
Putting aside everything that I said before, this is a slice of life anime of a family which adopted a little kid that acts like a dog which is trying to adapt to society. It is funny, it has good characters, it has situations that will make you laugh a lot and you will have a good time. You will, be sitting there seeing this brothers fighting over something absurd and then BOOM a child groping his brother.
Hey, it's a joke, but it is not a joke.
ART
8/10
Pretty decent for Yaoi, but, not amazing, that is all.
SOUND
10/10
Pretty good
CHARACTER
Now the intersting part. If I could dive the characters a 10000/10 I would. And let me tell you why. I has some of the best supporting cast that I have ever witness in Yaoi.
We have the Kaidou brother's which are Haru, Ren, Aki and Shima. We also have Haru's bestie Iku and Haru's high school friend, Kiyoka which is our trans icon, Juuzen which is Ren's bestie and other members which names I don't remember.
But I found all the character pretty easy to like and enjoy the little moments that they had in the anime. But it did stress the hell out of me why no one called the fucking police on Haru. But well, I guess everybody makes mistakes.
ENJOYMENT
10/10
Hella funny and I hate that I enjoy it this much because say no to incest and pedophilia but technically it is not pedophilia so I have decided that I will make a blind eye on the incest part and pretend that it is not happening, trust me, do the same, you will not regret it.
OVERALL
I give it an 8 out of 10 because I can not make a blind eye. This is illegal territory, but if you don't have a lot of limits and really little morals, you will really enjoy this.
So I guess... give it a chance?
Oh I don't know, can we just make a a jump in time and make Ren 18 please? Is the only thing I ask. Thank you all and have a nice day.
