I have no idea who brought that idea up


From my knowledge, the strictest law is in Korea, which bans to the third generation (eight cousins). The only way to get over this is if one side is either a non-national or a naturalized national, since under the law that side is not considered a relative. This is my case (naturalized former Japanese citizen engaged to a sixth cousin).

Actually, what Hoodspirit said (about Japan anyway) is accurate.

Spoiler for from the Japanese wiki:

So if Kyousuke and Kirino want to have a relationship ONCE THEY ARE BOTH ADULTS, then the law wouldn't prevent them from doing so, provided they don't try to get married. (I'm not entirely sure which 'definition' of adult they use though. Japanese people come of age at 20, but the national age of consent is 13, and different jurisdictions can have their own ordinances that restrict it further, up to the age of 18 (source).)

@Sumeragi
Rather than 6th cousins, you and your fiance are 2nd cousins (related by 6 degrees of kinship, collaterally), and Korean law prohibits marriage to the level of 3rd cousins (related by 8 degrees, collaterally). I seem to remember you using the correct terms somewhere else in the forum though...

That makes so much sense then since in Koi Kaze the main character verbally said he wasn't going to get married. This opens up a lot of doors then since Kirino can actually elope with Kyosuke.

Yeah, I used the degree system for some reason..... Probably because Japan/Korea calls cousins by the degree system.

^ you guys make it too confusing ....
By degree system you mean like
일촌 = siblings
이촌 = parents
삼촌 = uncles
사촌 = cousins

Yes, Sprite_Coke. That's the degree system. The English version go by generational division, so second cousin are cousins by the second generation (or sixth degree) and third cousins are those separated by three generations.

Protip: It's actually just a simple calculation...

Relationship of Parent and son/daughters= 1촌
Relationship between two siblings (Brother or sisters) = 2촌

Distance between two relatives are calculated based on these two... For example, grandparents are 2촌, as they are parents of parents (1촌 + 1촌 = 2촌). Uncle is 3촌, as he is a brother of parents; (2촌 + 1촌 = 3촌) In case of cousin, it's son/daughters of brother of parents, 1+2+1 = 4촌.

Edited: and, the winner is Kuroneko, anyways~

That makes no sense because genetically you are closer to your sibling than you are to either of your parents. Probably just some traditional form of measuring.

Actually, you could be closer to your sibling, but you could also be further apart. Anyone is guaranteed to have half of their parent's DNA, but theoretically, a person can range from being 100% identical (identical twins) to not sharing DNA at all with a sibling (highly highly unlikely), though chances are that around half their DNA will be the same.

It still make sense since I hate genetics, a lot.

The reason that brother/sisters are 2촌 is just the fact that they are considered to be 'Son/daughters of your parents' which will is like going up by 1 generation and going back down, thus 1+1 = 2촌.

I feel like depending on how this series turns out, the approval of incest in Japan will either increase or remain the same (I don't see it ever going down ). Either way, people will be pissed. But as for the series itself (being a fiction), I'm just interested to see how things end up for Kirino. I always wanted to see how non-doujinshi mainstream would handle a relationship like this (maybe I haven't looked hard enough though ).

Yes and no. The DNA that you're referring to is what is expressed in the individual. But siblings still have identical genetic makeup. They just have different genes that are 'activated,' so to speak. That's why you can have a child with different hair or eye color from both of his parents; the trait might not be expressed in the parents but it exists somewhere lying dormant in their genes from some other ancestor.

Trust me, other than identical twins, siblings DO NOT have identical genetic makeup - my uni major was in Genetics, so don't even try to convince me otherwise. There is no way that you can inherit ALL the DNA from both your parents because that would give you twice the amount of DNA that a normal human has and you'd die in the early stages of development. Try reading this.

My bad, I was concentrated on the marriage side of thing. I stand corrected, thanks.

Other than that I am aware that the age of consent in Japan is 13 and in addition they can get legally married at age of 16.

As for the degree system. As karice67 said, yo are guaranteed 50% of your parents's DNA, but those 50% might not be the same 50% as your siblings. Granted, probability-wise you and yoursibling is more likely to have more matching DNA than your parents, but that's not guaranteed and that why the degree system is still works more vast majority of time.

(While continue to get off topic)
According to this, it's 18 for male and 16 for female.
http://www.interpol.int/Public/Child...s/csaJapan.asp

Although they still need consent if they're minor (20 years old I think...since age of majority is 20 in Japan).

Im kinda knew here in this thread so many question are piling up but theres only 1 Q that I want you guys to answer? does Kuroneko goes to the same school as Kyousuke? and If my memory is correct shes the same age as Kirino so 2-3years younger than Kyou-chan?

EDIT: Not that I mind but why are there so many Imouto themes this year? just like Kyousuke said is it "watch Imouto route" anime day? anyways thats a jk~ your free to ignore it!

Both Saori and Kuroneko are 1 year older than Kirino, despite them not looking like it (especially Saori, she looks older than Kyosuke).

I worded my post incorrectly. I meant that siblings still have the same pool of genes, with different ones activated in the individual. I'm not a bio major so I'm sure I don't know as much as you but I did not mean to suggest each sibling possesses 100% of their parents DNA, rather I meant to say they are still selected from the same greater pool. I thought you were saying that a child could inherit 100% of their genetic makeup from one parent or the other, when in reality this cannot be true. But that's not what you meant so disregard that.
