Here's hoping they do as good a job as Koi Kaze rather than some other less serious (harem) shows.
The effect is about lack of attraction, so really, it can't say anything about Hiro's developing feelings. Rion wrote before that the Westermarck effect is not especially widespread. This is true w/o a doubt. Few adults are encouraged to marry those w/ whom they grew up; this was the case w/ the kibbutzniks, which is why the effect was first observed in them.

I seriously hope it doesn't become like Koi Kaze, at least in terms of content. & no love triangles, please.

I was wondering whether there was a particular reason behind that & behind Shouko's name. Although it could be a mere coincidence, since it's a very common name, "Shouko" can mean "evidence" or "proof".
