Kirino's response to the kiss at the end indicates that it is not the sort of kiss that it's okay for siblings to have.

Kyousuke his feelings are pretty clear. He really fell in love with his sister.
And there is one thing who was responsible for this. And that is life counseling. This is the trigger for them getting closer trough the story. ( EDIT: watching episode 6 of oreimo season 1. There is 1 thing that got my attention here. The way kyouske answered to kohei his (question about manami): Kohei said: you dont want to date her because you dont see her that way? but if she got a boyfriend would you agree with it. Kyousuke: no she cant have a boyfriend. The funny thing is: in the second season kyousuke his feelings were totaly different. He didnt want that his sister gets a boyfriend, this time. makes you think about how his feelings changed. Last edited by Sakuratsuki; 2013-06-12 at 21:02. |

@mayid Yeah he clearly had a thing for Manami at some point(or at least her type of bishoujos that have glasses) he just never really pursued it for one reason or another. Last edited by tommythecat; 2013-06-12 at 21:02. |

Which again leaves as to numerous possibilities that could be further explored. I conceed that new epilougue like side stories would be more appropriate for this cast although I belief that it is possible to continue the story of Kyousuke in a sequel. It could be that she just reacts like a normal Tsundere does at any sign of affection but honestly only the anime later will clarify what Tsuaka intended so this is now inconclusive.

I guess I would still ask the same question I asked before: how are you supposed to tell the difference? He's Kirino's brother whether he wants to be or not, and the feelings you have for your romantic partner contain all the same elements as familial love at its base (since you become a new family). So what would Kyousuke have had to have done or said differently to convince you that his feelings of caring for/cherishing Kirino ("of wanting to protect each other and make each other happy") are driven by the same feelings that would potentially have led him to do the same towards any other girl in an alternate reality? It's like there's some sort of automatic "DNQ" (or "N/A") just because, taking certain actions/feelings in isolation of others, you could argue that some of those actions don't require romance, even if the others do. As such, it's a bit "guilty until proven innocent": all feelings assumed familial unless clearly stated otherwise. I don't think you can partition feelings that cleanly.

All we can say in the end, it is left for us to imagine. What ever opinions you guys have, just keep it to yourself if there's no way to satisfy all of us. Looking for clues from the past chapters and are just wasting your time on debating at this moment.

In that case, I suspect there won't ever be anything left to discuss. Even with the Reunion short story, I highly doubt it'll do anything in the slightest to alleviate the ambiguity. We can at least try to understand where each other is coming from, even if no one will be convinced. But if you think it's a waste of your time, well...

I actually thats a major point of the siblings relationship to show the blurred area, within the novel, there are a lot of points in their relationship is referenced to as siblings despite dating. Instead of alternate reality I would say its possible for the siblings to also come to love each other simply as siblings albeit with complexes further down the future. Future novels could also be how the line could be distinguised or developed.
