Incest... That's ridicules... I am sorry, but the only law against relatives getting married is in the case of First and Second cousins. and the law is not against the morality of it, its to prevent genetic defects due to inbreeding. In Canada at least, 3rd and 4th cousins can marry without any problem, and in some cases Second (altho its a bit unheard of) I guess this is just another example of the closemindedness of, "the West"

Just because they are cousins in her Manga dose not mean its morally wrong (unless they are first cousins, I am sorta against that, since you could easily have been raised as close as siblings.Not to mention the possibly of genetic defects)

In any event, I don't believe she states how far they are removed. From wot I understand of some Japanese Family's, cousins are sometimes counted even if they are up to 6 - 8 times removed. Where in North America we tend to only count up to 3 or 4th cousins.

Maybe I am just a lil more open about such things, but that's me.
