I find it pretty enjoyable and a bit refreshing that he is intent on being in a relationship with Ayano at the moment. Subtly, Shiori is coming on to him, but it's like her nature to be a slight tease, so I'm not so sure I can say that's 'love'. I would think it obvious he would end up with Shiori, but this being seinen, I hope that there won't be any clear cut winner. Ami(the loli) doesn't stand a chance though =0<.

Huh I thought there already was a thread for this series......seems once again I'm losing my mind:eyebrow::eyespin:
Been reading this for what feels like forever cause of the slow releases, one of the bad things about picking up a series from the start when you know releases will be slow.

I find it interesting enough, the brother/sister side of it I hope actually holds up and the author doesn't pull out the "oh but they really aren't brother and sister!" thing.
The possible incest is what keeps me reading after so long:p

Love the art for this, very nice.

And will admit I do like the big boobed lass, she's really quite cute but it's all about the brother and sister for me.

Finally there's a thread for this!

Supporting the supposedly incest route all the way for this, and I have no doubt it will happen :heh:

One thing i found interesting was that other band member that was being a dick to the MC because of obvious reasons, and he was just taking it, though in recent chapters the harassment just stopped cuz of one little thing so that was complete undramatic end to the problem :uhoh:

Ditto and ditto, on both counts. It completely slipped my mind there wasn't a thread for this. It feels like forever since I read the last chapter, but apparently MU says a new one was put up 21 days ago. Must remember to read it. I love the art on this series, I'm also not crazy about Ayano or the loli, but hey, when you're up against a beautiful big sis, that's gotta be a hard contest.

I actually like the glasses girl better, but I want him to end up with his sister just to piss off the guitarist.

BAH! Why you guys look forward to genetically deficient babies is something I will never understand :(.

More like the act that leads to genetically deficient babies :D

:heh: Well said.

Who said anything about babies? :heh:

chapter 12 is out.

Well either way, from what I know Incest is not illegal in Japan, its just not respected and considered wrong.

But like you said I also do think its just an overreaction, but I still will admit I will be pissed if its an ex-boyfriend.

I will be doubly mad if they take the cliche easy way out and make Ive into a non-blood related sister.

Ive definitely has a screw loose, playing the role of the jilted lover simply because her brother got a girlfriend...

Playing the role of the jilted lover? Is that from the raws? Because she hasn't done anything like that up to ch 12.

I still don't like the little brother. He doesn't have the "spark," the "quirk," or anything that distinguishes him as an interesting main character. He's not even the fan-favorite Snarky Everyman. He's just a kid who puts on his headphone and gets dragged around by other people and events he does little about. Long lost big sister. of whom we are meant to assume he's always been longing desperately for, returns. What does he do? He acts out the most generic harem male lead responses possible. "Accidentally" groping the big tit-and-glasses classmate a few times, he gets noncommittally interested. Band dude insults him jealously; he lets it pass barely reacting, whether to angst over it or snark him back (except for the "oh, I'm actually kinda as empty as he says" feel I got from him). Annoying agency woman tries to convince him to let his sister sign up and move out; he's not resisting or angsting or supporting or even deeply thinking about it, he just gives this awkward uncommitted "I don't want to be trouble" thing.

He doesn't need to be Lelouch; he doesn't even need to be Kyon. He just needs to be something other than the vague shell of an adolescent he is. The taboo romance that should have been exciting and dangerous and dramatic and selfish and just a little twisted is somehow rendered awfully ordinary, a clichéd bore. A dangerous tango needs two charismatic, crazy dancers, not one.

Where's the passion, kid? You're a teenager with a complex. Be more fucked up, be anything.

I am disappoint.

Have the same opinion as yours. But hey it does have nice art, but that's pretty much it has going for.

I agree completely, he's about as bland as you can get.

Where was the part about them only being half-siblings? I can't remember what chapter it was.

I could be wrong, but I haven't seen anything that says they are half-siblings. I know in the early chapters he said she left with his mother when they got divorced, but nothing beyond that...
