Not an expert in Oreimo or anything. But honestly i still feel the safest road for the author (to please general audiences while keep the theme consistent) is to make Kyousuke choosing Kirino, THEN right after that reveal that they are not blood related.
Something like Kyousuke rush in and embrace a crying Kirino. Then his parents walk in, the mother throw tantrums over how they are real siblings and it's not possible for them to have that relationship. And then freaked out, collapsed and broke in tears. And then their dad started to reveal about how one of them was adopted to replace a dead child (a final month miscarriage for e.g.), and that initial shock was so much that they were in deny all this time that one of them is adopted. Cliche as heck. But the advantages of this ending is:
If the author want to make it cheeky, throw in the card "Kuroneko/Ayase/whoever realised that Kirino is not his blood sister, so now it's all fair game". Fairly close ending , but still opened enough so readers can continuously debate how their favorite heroines will easily gain the advantage now, as siscon Kyousuke do not have to take care of his "sister" anymore.

I guess there are some people who think "give me the ending I want at any cost", and so would be "overjoyed" as long as their ship wins... but personally I hope to just have an ending that is coherent and makes sense without needing any tricks or cliché twists. So in my view, anyway, I don't favour this particular twist. (Now saying all this, I fully admit to enjoying the "if" route in the PSP game that was similar to what you described, but not so much because of this particular twist.) I do suspect that Kyousuke will confess feelings to Kirino in the last volume... but not necessarily with the typical outcome in mind.

But as relentlessflame said, Both Kyou-Kirino are too awared ot their status as siblings. Removing the blood relationship dont change that they still think of other as family. |

I won't say the world will implode. But surely the backslash from Japanese readers back when Kuroneko stepping down, and Kirino became the only main candidate was fairly fierce. Blood-related or not does not affect the plot itself, but people (especially those who don't follow the story itself) simply can raise a moral high ground against the author if the ending involves actual incest. Taking the blood sibling element out, and to outsiders the novel will simply about a pair of non-blood siblings comes to their feeling to each other. Fairly cliche in fact ..or just keep it vague till final moment like you suggested. I don't think we need to discuss a lot on that option Quote:
PS: Once again, it's just my opinion on a ending that may occur. Not gonna say it will happen or not gonna happen

Pulling blindsides out of thin air is one of the best ways to have other authors throwing rotten cabbage at you. I'm not against the notion of *any solution* (even Kirino) if the story provides reasoning and clues that justify the ending. At the current point in the story, there's as much rationale to have Kyousuke and Kirino suddenly die in a car accident. Ruri, Ayase, and the others are left with a sudden hole in their lifes. The end. That may be the way life happens but it makes for a lousy story ending.

I'm pretty sure it goes the other way round. Star crossed lovers die and are reborn as siblings. Which either means the Japanese had a very ironic sense of humor, or they've been shipping incest since before the Feudal era

"Let's pray for the star crossed lovers so they can be reborn as siblings and can never be with each other. Great idea!!" Anyway what i stated earlier was a Japanese drama cliche, rather than ancient myth. Combined both and we will have Kirino, Kyousuke embraced each other before being run over by a truck. Then the story skipped 16 years later, and readers see them being reborn as twins and continue their hardship over their feelings. Great set up for Oreimo 2, with Kuroneko and Ayase are now the MILFs neighbours of the two sibl.... no let's just stop here, it's heading to some dangerous territories..

Yeah, my fault - I was using an extreme example of how random out-of-the-blue "solutions" might be random like real life but make for unpleasant stories that you might not have want to read in the first place.
