I'll just say that in the event of a Kyou-Kirino romantic finale, the Westermarck issue pretty much shatters "suspension of disbelief" for me at least. They were raised together so blood, non-blood, cousins, whatever puts the notion into "0.01%" territory. It would take far more than one volume to lay the groundwork for that to be believable.
I'm not against the *idea* (e.g. I found YnS fairly believable) but I'm saying it simply has not been established in the story other than as a comedic jibe.

I dispute the Westermarck effect.
But anyway, I see the story as the Kousaka siblings getting over the issues they had between them which includes Kirino's "mutated" feelings due to Manami's interference. As I mentioned earlier, it was likely that Kirino's feelings for Kyousuke was more akin to puppy love that a girl or boy might have for their older sibling of parent, but Manami's way of getting in the way most likely stalled the natural development and led to the current situation. |

At the end of the day, I think it's pretty much guaranteed that the story will end with Kirino conveying her genuine gratitude/feelings somehow, and Kyousuke doing a title call. I'd bet on it.

The same applies to Kuroneko x Kyousuke. Ayase and Manami have less chances to be the last girl here, but they aren't out of the game either.
I like Ayase a lot, and Kuroneko is a good choise also, but even if you read the actual books you can't guess what the ending will be |

Kuroneko already had her shot and she ended up being happy by just being by his side, shown via hand-drawn pictures by her being a maid to a possible coupling of Kyousuke and Kirino at the time. So Kuroneko is out of the picture to me. That leaves us with Manami, Saori, Kirino, Kanaka, and Ayase. I believe Manami is also out of the picture. This is due because of Kyousuke's old friend who confessed her love to him three years prior to Ore no Imouto, yet he turned her down because Kyousuke stated that he loves someone else. To my knowledge, the cold war was just starting up and Kyousuke and Kirino were still on good terms with each other. Manami is out because when Kirino and Kyousuke started to rebuild their broken relationship, he accepted Kuroneko's feelings at the time without knowing Kirino's true feelings. Kyousuke can't possibly love Manami romantically because he started dating Kurnoneko volumes 7-8 with him ending up being dumped and Kirino catching the rebound. (He even said something along the lines of "damn, if Kirino wasn't my sister I would have defiantly fallen for her.") Saori and Kanaka can't possibly be an option because it seemed they didn't spend enough time with Kyousuke to be a rival towards the other girls. With Kirino and Ayase left, its easy to think that Kyousuke will end up Ayase just because he stated many times that he wants to marry her. As for Kirino's gift to Kyousuke I think it will be; A. His actual love that we have not yet met from three years ago or B. Kirino herself, by giving some type of document/book (such as that album she had in her secret otaku closet, we still have yet to see what is in there and I think it will play a huge part.) that shows they aren't real blood-related siblings. Even in the anime, it left us wondering what is in that album. It wasn't discussed thoroughly since in the "good ending" the airplane ticket flies out of it and they get into a huge fight without actually seeing the album. |

U remember that box as well!
Yeah, there are a lot of reasons to think of any of them as the chosen girl, even Manami. Spoiler for Comparison to Mayo Chiki LN:
Being honest, I was rooting for Ayase since vol.1. It was after volume 5 that I started to think in Kirino as a possible romantical partner for Kyousuke. I'll be happy wherever the choose will be (more happy if it's Ayase or Kirino), and not with an open ending where all live getting along with the others while still fighting for Kyousuke's love. Maybe, Kanako would be the right choise (loli end. FTW ). ---- As for Akiko Himenokouji, she's in another level of beign brocon. If she could, she'd have raped Akito a long ago Last edited by relentlessflame; 2012-10-04 at 20:23. Reason: added spoiler for comparison, just in case |

Spoiler for PSP game:
And I think that won't be the case for the light novel since the PSP story don't cover their pasts yet (when they really close, Kyousuke is hot-blooded good student, etc), thus Kyousuke on PSP can claim he doesn't really see Kirino as a little sister. Quote:
True loli end would be Bridgette as the end girl Or maybe Kirino's ex-roommate when she was on America? XD Forgot the name but I remember she's younger than Kirino

But in any case, it's a general rule that has some statistical significance (has been observed in studies); barring further revelation, I think it's something the author has not made apply in this story's case. I don't think attraction is the issue, but stigma and a variety of other plot-dependant reasons are more likely to stop them if anything.

I think the December 12 release you're talking about is volume 12.
As for S2, no word on when it'll start airing. Though since (I believe) there's no website up for it yet even, it won't be for quite a while.

Nope, Dengeki's line up for December does not include OreImo. And of course there's absolutely no way a high profile Anime like this would start in December- That's the final leg of the Fall season.
