I'm not jumping to conclusions and associating Japanese cultural standards to what I see presented in anime, but I can't help wondering about this. It's difficult for me to even watch shows like Onegai Twins because of the whole premise. Granted, I've not seen the whole thing and it could be just a huge misunderstanding, but still. Apparently dating a cousin is a peccadillo at worst too. What gives?
