Her haior cut makes her look pretty ugly in my opinion. But again I am never a fan of cutting hair-short. Only Rinko and a few other characters can make the short-hair loook good, while all others are just cute (as compared to long-hair hot/sexy look).

Haru for example, after chapter 28 there's no way in my opinion, she can't be aware of Gorou being madly in love with her. There's no way, but still she keeps teasing and other girls away from him. It seems she likes the feeling of being loved and although she doesn't feel the same way for Gorou, she tries everything to make him keep loving her.

Gorou should grow some balls and confess already. His crying and actions in the last chapter (28) were really disgusting.

Sila.

Sometimes I ponder which direction this series is taking. At times I think the sister doesn't have any real interest in Gorou beside their brother and sister relationship. The author could just continue the slice of life comedy and tease out the incest angle. With the graduation I wonder if its more about progression on their family life rather than the incest (lover) angle which I prefer.

I'm not a fan of the haircut either but she still looks alright to me.

I actually think we are going the incest route. The plot progression seems like we are heading for more drama, and it was shown that Aneki deeply cares about Gouru with implications of romance. In the chapter where Gouru pushes her down on the couch, she tells him to sort out his feelings implying to pick between either her or the other girl, who he later rejects.

I thought they weren't blood related, so how could it be incest...?

Hmm... I don't know, if there's one true definition of incest, but for example in the Roman Empire having sex with your step-sister was considered as incest. In the end it's all about the country you live in and its laws.

True it's not technically incest, but in some definitions brother-sister relationships even without blood relation are considered incest.

Spoiler for ch29:

The gang goes on a trip. I know it's part of the whole gag schtick, but Gorou was really pathetic this chapter to me...

I'd have some fun with Misaki if I was him. Kind of give Haru a little comeuppance from her constantly teasing him...

The 4-koma Nano Branch is out. http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=65373

Well, this series is over. After two years it's come to an end. I am a little sad because even though we lost the initial zest, it was still a fun series.

Spoiler for Chapter 31:

That ending gag with her leaving was some nice icing on the cake.

[Lexxus]

Hmmm. Chapter 31 is the last chapter?

She's just a little wacko in the head if it's Gorou related.

looks like i'm not alone.

Yes, it is. It's a weird chapter number, but that's how we decided to number the chapters - with the logo. Some "chapters" appeared back-to-back in a single magazine issue, so yeah.

Yes, it's a nice fun and light hearted read.

I will miss Aneki!
