Spoiler for LONG QUOTE:



Completely agree with your view on the relationship pairs. I also don't get why people would think there would be incest in this series. The author has stated since volume 1 that this series is about comedy series, in the special Chinese version postface, he even specifically stated that it is a comedy series in typical family about a sibling re-connect with each other.

Having Incest will not make this series a comedy, not to mention in volume 4 postface, the author states that there are ELEMENTRY SCHOOL readers who wrote letters to him along with MIDDLE SCHOOL GIRLS with older brother. Japan is fairly open about sex, but not THAT open.


As for the relationships:

As an anime-only watcher I'd like to ask out of curiousity, will there be any interaction between Kuroneko and Ayase?

OK, thanks for the quick answer. Too bad, would have been really fun to watch imo. And, that sounds interesting.

None I can remember of. Ayase still avoids ACG unless it is related to Kirino. The only interaction I remember other than Kyosuke is Minami, who somehow became a really close friend to Ayase.

Wow. Seems like the majority is hoping for a Kuroneko end. ):
Hearing the opinions of everyone confuses me. I'm hoping for a Kirino end, and someone will write something that will give me hope. But then following up on that someone else will have a totally practical argument to trump it which then makes me sad because it's so reasonable that I could also see that as a possibility. And so the cycle continues.
But here's the thing, I feel like this series is pulling in two opposite directions. But the one that is pulling opposite to the wincest end seems to contradict everything about the series itself IMO. When I first saw this series my immediate thoughts were that it was going to be about incest(which upset me at the time, but it has totally converted me), the title implies that there is a 50-50 chance that is the route this series could take. Regardless of whether or not you want the series to end with kyosuke/kirino, incest probably came to mind for most people, and then you watched it to clarify, right? Well, when I think about it that way, I think the series as a whole attracted many, many fans of that particular genre along with the people who think/know it is a wholesome series about a brother and sister's relationship. I think when you create that kind of a fanbase it'd be kind of tough to deviate from that. Also, if we're following the status quo, Kirino is the main character next to Kyosuke, the main characters usually end up together.
I dunno though, just throwing some thoughts out there. I'm just a little bit depressed that the author supposedly hates Kirino. D: More evidence against her getting Kyosuke in the end. -sigh-

Also, about that argument that Kirino is opposed to incestuous relationships and not to mix up the 2-D and 3-D world. Kirino is a 2-D character. So she can't use that argument. xD;;

Well, the thing about the Ruri route is that it had a lot of support when the author put questionaires in volume 4. Basically, it can be argued that the Kuroneko fans pushed for this particular situation.

Minami Period...
No Incest but a great sibling bond would be interesting
However I like Kuroneko but a graet point of development for her character would be for her to get out of her shell and meeting new people and a new love.
Minami fits Kyousuke the best in my oppinion the plain ordinary couple.

Need to faster master Jap so that I can actually read first hand this excellent series.

Anyone but Minami is fine with me. Minami is just too boring and too moe-sweet for me to like.

The questionaire result is just not surprising, popularity wise on 2ch (Just an approximate...), Kirino ~= Kuroneko >> Ayase >> Manami >> everyone else. So, with Fushimi tend to write the novel base on popularity, yeah, 50-50 chance between Kirino and Kuroneko.

Knowing Kyousuke and his way of choosing girl, though...
Meganekko - Manami, Sena, Saori (Although Kyousuke like the no-glass version of Saori...)
Big bust - Sena, Saori
Long Black Hair - Kuroneko, Ayase, Saori
Imouto - Sena, Kuroneko, Kirino

Sena and Saori are 3/4. Neither really have that big of chance, though...
Sena - Competitions, not enough development, and weird personality
Saori - Feel more like friends than koibi, and any development are way too late in the game.

Thus the choice become Ruri kouhai...

Thanks. The date and Ayase part was hilarious. Kyousuke was pretty cool during the confrontation too.

I'm not going to comment on Sergio's summaries until he finishes, but just doing some quick corrections on the climax summary/translation.

Note that there are also two very important conversations/incidents in chapter 4 before this climax scene.
Spoiler for just in case:
And quite a few of Kyousuke's thoughts have been left out. It's probably a bit hard without a full translation or at least a better summary (sorry, I won't be doing one), but please try not to take the following scene out of context.

Ahh! Thanks for the good read. On that note, I hope it does not finish on the Loli route Too many animes have done this already.

Anyway, is there a release set date for the next volume?
