Hum you should perhaps tag some spoiler tags for those who hadn't seen the end of this anime yet? :)
Sorry - I thought that the title of thread would be a pretty obvious spoiler indication (since it's impossible to explain the end without spoilers), but I added the spoiler tags anyways.
I'm almost done with the second part...

Spoiler:
Maiku returns home early in the morning after searching for Miina all night with no result. Putting on a brave face, he tells Karen "Once she gets hungry, she'll return home". Karen is quite sad, because her greatest desire is for the three of them to continue living together in the same house. As she enters her class at school, with a sad look on her face, she looks to the seat where Miina usually sat... only to see... Miina! "Myu...."
Karen discovers that Miina had stayed over at fellow classmate Haruko's house for the night. (Haruko is the girl with the hentai brother who is obssessed with her.) However, Miina will not utter a word to Maiku. When asked, all she would do is present him with a note that said "I'm keeping it a secret" (or something like that).
After a full day like that, Maiku is frustrated, but is at least relieved to see that she is still around. He decides to go visit Miina at Haruko's house, but Karen dissuades him, arguing that it would best in times like this for them to talk together as girls. Karen packs some extra clothes for Miina, and heads off to Haruko's house.
Karen and Miina have a little heart-to-heart (in the bath, of course!) where Karen once again affirms Miina's welcome in Maiku's house and life, both from his perspective and her own, despite the fact that she is the "stranger". "There's no one else who I'd want to be Maiku's girlfriend; only you." Miina says that, above all, she really still wants to live in the house with them, but is no longer able to face Maiku now that she is able to fully accept her feelings for him. She asks for Karen and Maiku just to give her a bit more time.
Upon returning home, Karen explains to Maiku that Miina is alright; that she just needs time to work through her feelings - to discover her "now". When Maiku asks her what exactly Miina's "now" is, Karen says "that is something that you'll have to hear directly from her". Maiku notes that, even after the truth was revealed, he still thinks that Miina and Karen are more like true twins. Karen responds that "We are twins, even though we're not related by blood." Right then, though, Haruko comes running up in a panic... "Miina just left my house, and she's heading to the train station! I think she may be leaving!"
After rushing to the train station, Maiku finally confronts Miina about all that has gone on. He affirms once again how much he wants her to stay living with them. When Miina confesses her worry about the fact that she's a stranger, he dismisses it... "We'll just get married, then. That way we can all stay together forever." "Was that... a proposal?" "No no! It was an example!" Miina exposes her deepest fear... "What if our feelings change? Then, I won't be able to stay with you anymore." Maiku also dismisses this fear "You worry too much about the future. What do you want to do now?" "I want to stay, living with you and Karen, in our house." "Then, do so." And, after all this build-up, Maiku and Miina finally kiss...
"You can't do that!" Karen yells as she runs towards him. Of course, she trips and proceeds to knock Miina right out of the way and, you guessed it, falls right on top of Maiku with a kiss. Upon realization, and with a "Myu...", she proceeds to faint. When Maiku puts her skirt back into place, he is met with applause and congratulations from... Kousei! "Not even I could pull off something like that!". It turns out that everyone had gathered to support Miina's love and were watching all this time! The whole thing was actually a setup orchestrated by Haruko! "Definitely grounds for a suspension", the student council president says.
With feelings revealed, Karen, Miina, and Maiku return to their house. "You're not fair, Karen. I thought you were supposed to support my love!" Miina says. "Yes, but Maiku's still my brother!" So, now, they take a new photo - of the three of them - beginning this new chapter in their lives. They do not know for certain what the future may hold, but they pledge that the three of them will stay together, forever.
"You know, Miina, it was actually you and I in that photo from way back then", Maiku added in the epilogue. "Yes, I was sleeping at the time", Karen says. "We were all together, even back then..."
And so ends my plot summary! I hope this makes sense, and that I got the order of things right, as I am doing it all by memory! Onegai Twins has gotta be one of my favorite shows, just for the pure light-hearted fun of it all, but with just enough depth to make you care for the characters. I enjoyed it a lot, and had fun writing this summary.

this is the part i don't get.
In both series onegai twins and onegai teacher the president (forgot name) plays a big role and i believe she always knows what is going on with everyone.
might be because she
Spoiler:
"is 21"
i loved this series and i cant wait for the ova to come out to clear things up and i can't wait to see if there is going to be a third season and i really hope there is. i wonder what it is gonna be about maybe the hentai brother and sister
this is my second favourite series of all time both onegai twins and onegai sisters

Spoiler:
Way back when they were children, Maiku, Miina, and Karen all lived in the same house, even though only Karen and Maiku are related. They don't really explain *why* Miina lived with them back then (as they don't know), but their Mother's diary revealed this to be the case. When the photo was taken, though, Karen was asleep, so it was Miina and Maiku playing in the pool. So, all along, even though they were fixated on the photo as the clue to who was related and who wasn't, it wouldn't have revealed the truth anyways.
I hope that helps clear it up a bit.

No problem! I'm just glad that I'm not the only one who likes this show. It seems as though a lot of people around these boards didn't like it much, as it devitated a bit from Onegai Teacher. Not having seen Teacher yet, though, I really thought Twins was great! I'm also hoping for a third series (and hopefully I'll get to see the first season in the meantime. My poor wallet though!)

Hmm... I'm not sure... did you notice anything censored in Twins, by chance? If so, what sub were you watching? (I was watching AonE-Inf, and don't remember noticing anything that may have been censored in the sub, but who knows...)
Edit: As a total aside, I've been reading some reviews of this show, and I'm surprised at how many people considered this show to be extremely "ecchi", mostly because of the nudity. But, for some reason, I didn't really find it to be that "ecchi" at all, simply because there really was very little sexual about it at all. To me, it was like "oh, they're having a bath, so they're naked". Sure, it was fanservice, but I really didn't find it to be over-the-top at all, for some reason, mostly because of how down-to-earth those scenes were. I mean, I don't even think girls would find it offensive... a bit obsessive and over-used maybe, but it just didn't seem that perverted to me because of the way it was played. A lot of people also found it "ecchi" and taboo because of the "we might be family" side of the story... but once again, I didn't find it "naughty" or anything. If anything, I thought the story was more cute than anything else, and the slight (and I do say slight) ecchiness of it only made the show more fun. I guess I'm just trying to understand the criticisms that people have of this show, and having a hard time with it.

yeah i know what you mean if they think this is ecchi then they should watch hanaukyo maids. they would probably call that hentai.

OK. There's something i dont get. What about the supposedly leaked uncut photo of the 3 of them? I examined the file and it looked real. Was there a last minute change to the story?

Do you have an example of said uncut photo file? I'm confused! So there was some photo leaked on the web about Onegai Twins that showed... what?
Without knowing anything about this, my speculation would be... perhaps they leaked a photo to mislead people? (Like get people thinking they've got the ending all figured out, only to end the series an entirely different way?) As for the anime, it's pretty clear who is and who isn't related. (A lot of people seem to get messed up by the epilogue, though, where they talk about the childhood photo, but that doesn't change anything.)
Anyways, I need more info, because now I'm curious. Where can I find this leaked photo file?

They might be related... but then again they might also be strangers...

I´ve also heard about a diary(the diary that Karen read in the neighbourhouse) is out on some website(might be fake). Maybe i read it on this forum... dont remember, anyway, does anyone know something about it?

Even in the end of the anime the statement still haunts me, because it put the whole series down the drain for me. I hope there is an OAV to clear everything up.

It was the same one the 3 of them had except this one was not cut at the right[or was it left=p] side of the picture. It showed another kid standing right there. I can't believe nobody remembers about this because everyone was making a big fuss about how everything was spoiled!

Odd, because in the anime they ended up saying that Karen was asleep for the photo, thus she was not "cut off". (Besides, I didn't even know or notice that the photo was cut off... Is there any evidence it was cut off in the anime?) Perhaps it was a fake, or published to deliberately mislead? I wasn't around these boards when all this happpened at first (when OT first came out), so that's why I'm so uninformed.
I've gotta admit, though, I'm genuinely baffled by the fact that so so many people (not just on these boards) were confused by the ending of Onegai Twins. The only thing they really didn't clarify was why all three of them knew each other as children, but the "who is and who isn't related" bit seemed crystal clear to me.
All this is, of course, unless the OVA comes out of the blue and totally messes the last episodes up by revealing that, "guess what, we're all actually related, after all"! I guess we can only wait and see...
So, just out of curiousity, was it the epilogue lines that led to the confusion for most people also? (Where they finally revealed about the photo?)
