From my knowledge, the strictest law is in Korea, which bans to the third generation (eight cousins). The only way to get over this is if one side is either a non-national or a naturalized national, since under the law that side is not considered a relative. This is my case (naturalized former Japanese citizen engaged to a sixth cousin). |

Spoiler for from the Japanese wiki:
So if Kyousuke and Kirino want to have a relationship ONCE THEY ARE BOTH ADULTS, then the law wouldn't prevent them from doing so, provided they don't try to get married. (I'm not entirely sure which 'definition' of adult they use though. Japanese people come of age at 20, but the national age of consent is 13, and different jurisdictions can have their own ordinances that restrict it further, up to the age of 18 (source).) @Sumeragi Rather than 6th cousins, you and your fiance are 2nd cousins (related by 6 degrees of kinship, collaterally), and Korean law prohibits marriage to the level of 3rd cousins (related by 8 degrees, collaterally). I seem to remember you using the correct terms somewhere else in the forum though...

Yes, Sprite_Coke. That's the degree system. The English version go by generational division, so second cousin are cousins by the second generation (or sixth degree) and third cousins are those separated by three generations.

Protip: It's actually just a simple calculation...
Relationship of Parent and son/daughters= 1촌 Relationship between two siblings (Brother or sisters) = 2촌 Distance between two relatives are calculated based on these two... For example, grandparents are 2촌, as they are parents of parents (1촌 + 1촌 = 2촌). Uncle is 3촌, as he is a brother of parents; (2촌 + 1촌 = 3촌) In case of cousin, it's son/daughters of brother of parents, 1+2+1 = 4촌. Edited: and, the winner is Kuroneko, anyways~

Actually, you could be closer to your sibling, but you could also be further apart. Anyone is guaranteed to have half of their parent's DNA, but theoretically, a person can range from being 100% identical (identical twins) to not sharing DNA at all with a sibling (highly highly unlikely), though chances are that around half their DNA will be the same.

The reason that brother/sisters are 2촌 is just the fact that they are considered to be 'Son/daughters of your parents' which will is like going up by 1 generation and going back down, thus 1+1 = 2촌.

I feel like depending on how this series turns out, the approval of incest in Japan will either increase or remain the same (I don't see it ever going down ). Either way, people will be pissed. But as for the series itself (being a fiction), I'm just interested to see how things end up for Kirino. I always wanted to see how non-doujinshi mainstream would handle a relationship like this (maybe I haven't looked hard enough though ).

My bad, I was concentrated on the marriage side of thing. I stand corrected, thanks. Other than that I am aware that the age of consent in Japan is 13 and in addition they can get legally married at age of 16. As for the degree system. As karice67 said, yo are guaranteed 50% of your parents's DNA, but those 50% might not be the same 50% as your siblings. Granted, probability-wise you and yoursibling is more likely to have more matching DNA than your parents, but that's not guaranteed and that why the degree system is still works more vast majority of time.

According to this, it's 18 for male and 16 for female. http://www.interpol.int/Public/Child...s/csaJapan.asp Although they still need consent if they're minor (20 years old I think...since age of majority is 20 in Japan). Spoiler:

Im kinda knew here in this thread so many question are piling up but theres only 1 Q that I want you guys to answer? does Kuroneko goes to the same school as Kyousuke? and If my memory is correct shes the same age as Kirino so 2-3years younger than Kyou-chan?
EDIT: Not that I mind but why are there so many Imouto themes this year? just like Kyousuke said is it "watch Imouto route" anime day? anyways thats a jk~ your free to ignore it!
