Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (3/12 eps)
Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru!, is a Harem anime about Shougo Mikadono. After his father's death, he is left as the sole heir to the Mikadono Group. A large corporation which Shougo's father ran. In order to take head of the Mikadono Group, Shougo must find a woman he likes, and marry her. That's all the plot info you really need to know, so let's get onto the review...

-Story: The story of the anime is pretty original, the biggest twist, is the little sister. At the very beginning of the series, Shougo learns he has a step-sister on his father's side. He then learns that his sister not only wants to marry him, but goes to the same school as him. So, while trying to find a suitable bride, Shougo must uncover the mystery behind his little sister. The story in the anime is slightly better than mediocre for me. Of course, everybody has opinions.

Moving onto the Art; The show is not a masterpiece, but it's not terrible. The animation is fluid, and the style of art is nice. To make this paragraph longer, I'm also going to throw in this sentence, as well as the sound review. The sound is not too bad. Nothing really stands out to me. So I give it a decent rating.

Characters... Oh, the characters in this anime. We'll start off with the main character: Shougo Mikadono. As I explained above, he is the heir to a wealthy corporation and must find a bride by the time he graduates. I honestly can't think of words to describe him...
There are 5 candidates able to be Shougo's sister. Konoe, the cute girl, whom Shougo meets first. Miyabi, the Tsundere who loses her Tsun-. Mei (Sagara), the owner of little sister cafe, and tends to like cosplaying (Or just dressing up). Rinka (Kunitachi) the vice-president of the student council, and a true tsundere. Finally, we have Mana (Tendou) the president of the student council, and a happy-go-lucky, ditsy character.
Our final main character is X, or Ikusu. Is a girl, the same age as Shougo. At his school, she pretends to be a boy and passes off quite well. She is actually part of the Mikadono Group sent to help Shougo. She pretty much does whatever she likes, whether it be pretending to be with Shougo (Making people think he is gay) or parade around Shougo's apartment naked.
There are a lot of characters and some are pretty interesting.

My enjoyment I'd say is not too high. I prefer to watch it when I'm done watching all my other animes. This anime is filled to the brim with fanservice. From large breasts, of which the nipples are being covered by hair, towel or a shirt, to at one point, an incredibly short skirt. But, I expected as much from it. I'd say as far as enjoyment goes, 7/10.

Overall, the anime is a light hearted anime and should be treated as such. The amount of awkward social situations Shougo finds himself in astounds me, and amuses me at the same time. Still, I've seen better anime. Overall; 6/10
