SEASON 2 of the anime annouced
i i'm a kanako X kyousuke fan, yeah you hear me, my rank is kirino X kyousuke, kanako X kyousuke then ayase X kyousuke, i really enjoy the new developments in volume 10, that ayase confession man that's just not fair, mainly tears were shed... i'm still curious about the past of kirino and kyousuke, i played the PSP game got 98% complete (only a if kuroneko missing) and as i saw in the kirino and ayase route, since some said it was a foreshadow for future volumes i have to say, when kirino comfronted ayase about not handing over her brother i can see that happening in the novel... i'm dying for the summaries of volume 10...really looking foward to it |

*After reading the Chapter 2 summary from C.E.*
o.m.g. I really love this novel. It's pretty damn amazing. You gotta love the cat fight! It was awesome. Now everything falls in place about the sex thing and all that. Of course, thanks again for the early translation Sumeragi. Now with a wider context it makes sense. And Kyo with his dad interactions...that is a damn amazing-funny series. That little after-fight Kuroneko-Kyou dialogue that Ruri will also adopt the Kyou's doctrine about relationships is priceless. My Kuroneko Faction Flag keeps flying high and mighty!! |

Daisuke seems to be really calm about how close the siblings have been. I mean, the two are acting like lovers, so one would think he'd react the same way as Yoshino, yet he seems pretty chill about it. Him saying that he'll be leaving Kirino to Kyousuke got my attention. Wasn't there something about him saying he'd rather hand Kirino over to a man much like himself when she brought Mikagami over in volume 7? Could this be...?
And it looks like Kuroneko really hasn't given up yet. Sigh, I just hope she doesn't interfere until the development between the siblings is over. |

I feel like the dad knows something that no one else knows, maybe what happened in the past between Kyousuke and Kirino? Despite all the people who are saying that he is supporting their possible relationship ... I feel like you guys have to be dreaming because the character that the dad is made out to be ... I think he would murder Kyousuke if something like that actually happened. Even with his recent non-caring, I think its cause he knows nothing is actually happening so he has no true reason to worry.

i'm reading chapter 2 of volume 10
man kanako flag is so obvious...most of what happened in the PSP is happening in the novel KURONEKO vs AYASE that was one of the most awesome things i've ever seen!!! Btw that also did happen in the PSP. |

Exactly the point, Soverence. The dad seems to know something about Kyousuke and Kirino, and as such he probably isn't going to deliberately intervene unless it's absolutely necessary. My feeling is that he would have reacted the same as with the actions of the other girls if Kyousuke and Kirino had a normal past relationship (which as I've been stating over and over, the two were not normal from the start).

All I can keep saying is that the author has been playing bait/switch/mislead/gotcha with the audience since the title on the first page. About the only thing I can assert is that the interactions have been fairly grounded in a 'real world' sensibility so far. I just certainly hope he doesn't let "shippers" start affecting the course of the story. That sort of jerking around almost always stands out like a sore thumb.

Chapter 2 was awesome.
I really enjoy Kyousuke's awesome 'nightmare', the talk with Kirino, Kanako, Ayase, and Ayase vs Kuroneko. And Daisuke was really a bro, can't imagine Kyousuke and Daisuke assemble the cabinet for the naked figurine set together XD Kinda scary though thinking how Ayase can get the key to Kyousuke's apartment and duplicate it Ayase has another what if ending (aside from Kanako that branches from her route), IIRC. If you don't use eroge ORE item when Kirino knocked his room while Kyousuke and Ayase play eroge together, later Ayase will send anonymous threat mails to Kirino, Kuroneko, and Saori so they won't see each other and Ayase can have Kirino for herself

Chapter 2 was certainly a fun read, had me laughing pretty much all the way through the summaries Ayase still scares me ... I don't care how cute they try to make her, maybe its just because she oddly reminds me of Yuno for Mirai Nikki (why, I don't know) so I would be afraid of a dead Kosaka family ending with Ayase

Ah ah, I finally finished volume 10 last night.
Firstly, I need to say that I only glanced through the previous posts, so there might be repeated info. Ok, here goes. My first comment is WTF is with Kyousuke becoming more and more like a harem lead!? Well, I didn't expect to be reading a harem story when I picked up Oreimo (if I want a meaningful harem story I'll pick something else, like OreShura - Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba sugiru, one of the best harem series I've ever read). Sigh, yes harem antics can be funny, but after reading so many volumes, I didn't expect Fushimi to use it as a plot device so blatantly here. I think what Fushimi was really saying in that interview was that Kyousuke is going to set some serious flags with different girls, based on what we have for Ayase this volume (yes, flags have been set previously, but it is maxed out in this volume). So I can expect other girls to get something in the next 2 volumes. But, despite my complaints and some facepalming, I must say this is a pretty satisfying read. Because I have verified with my own eyes, and my own interpretation, that Kyousuke and Kirino are just siblings with a strong bro-con sis-con factor. That's all to it ladies and gentlemen. If I start again, this will probably be the fourth time on listing my points on why a romantic end between Kyousuke and Kirino is pretty much impossible (something backed by 80% of the more sensible people who actually read the novels, not the summaries or spoilers), so just go back to the posts ages past and read them if you care. Another satisfying part was how the so-called Ayase route was done to the point that I may even be able to accept her (though I'm still with Kuroneko). Though somewhat cliche, it was done nicely and it wasn't something random or unbelievable. Well, "so that's why there's a handcuff illustration on the back cover", I muttered to myself after finishing the volume. More on that later. So far, the behavior between Kyousuke and Kirino are consistent to me. There may be teasers here and there, but like what Vexed mentioned before, those are just devices to create hilarious situations. People sure like to post scans of those 'critical' pages that tease so much. And like what Sumeragi explained, if only they posted the several pages that come before and after those 'critical' pages. But it's funny that even among the Japanese readers, the fanatics like to look for the extreme. Well, it can't be helped since this is a world of otakudom. I'm just going to post a brief summary and outline from memory, since I don't have the book to refer to now. I'm not going to cover all the interactions (can't remember all of them anyway). Spoiler for volume 10 in brief:
