[zeross87]

the op make it seem way more echi than it really is but well. i'm kinda low on the art style i would have prefered a more vibrant palette than a more pastelle one but we will see how it turn.

And that is pretty lame, if that is indeed the message of the show, and the end state for this character.

But I have a feeling there will be more to it. Considering the tropey and out-there setting, I was surprised by how smart the character writing was.

[Alchemist007]

Interesting art and animation.

The characters are nonsense, gifted sister character with an opposite (non-existent) set of moral boundaries. The brother barely seems bothered, but I guess at least sort of retreated at the end of the ep. Not sure if that will go anywhere, but it seems like things will go how the crazy sister has planned since there was a shot of that plot notebook.

[kari-no-sugata II]

I think I enjoyed the 2nd episode more than the 1st... Felt like it flowed better or something.

Mahiro used "onee-chan".
It was super effective.

[Master_Yoma]

Well all ready going to the bathhouse and as expected Mahiro cant really handle staying in the bath

Mahiro showing off some cute hairstyles

[serenade_beta]

Spoiler for ep2:

I think the sister should start by apologizing for causing the pain her brother has to go through because she forcibly changed him with magical deux ex machina medicine, but I have a feeling they will never touch on this subject

[Nachtwandler]

This series balances on the edge of being dropped for me as it is a bit to lewd to be wholesome and not funny enough to watch it as comedy. But I'll at least wait for other characters to show. Maybe they'll lifen up the interactions. Also, for some reason it is not available on CR in my location despite the site saying only Asia and German-speaking Europe are excluded.

[ryllharu]

It's...oddly wholesome?

On the surface, it is very close to being lewd (if not over the line), and in presentation it very much knows what it is. The quality of the animation very smooth despite the simple style art.

But content-wise, it ends up becoming a story about two 'sisters' pushing each other out of their respective comfort zones so they can grow. They do genuinely care for each other, they just go about it in unconventional ways.

It's compare it most to Imouto sae Ireba Ii (presentation, lewd-level, and art style) and Nagatoro (plot and character development), but more heavily leaning toward the former because it is heavily-weighed toward introversion otaku behavior and fooling around for gags.

The imouto character not only has strange moral standards, but double standards too, like with the way the episode ended.

"Have some tact." Pot meet kettle ffs.

I'm not sure what the show is getting at; after the bath, Mashiro remembers when he was bathing with the sister years ago. So what's the connection now, she's teaching him how to bathe properly as a girl? It's just very odd.

It's their sibling bond being strengthened, the role reversal makes Mahiro appreciate Mihari more to the point he is willing to call her "Onee-chan", even if only temporarily.

[Alchemist007]

It's extremely forced, to the point of not making much sense.

[zeross87]

there is no deep meaning for this show. just enjoy the cuteness and stop asking question about everything.
also the lewdness should go down soon, it wont be the focus at all

Was he already gay or something (perhaps without consciously realizing it)? That
might explain the BL game he "accidentally" bought.

So, the sister also took the liberty of throwing away his old male clothes? I guess
this means the transformation is permanent?

What a nasty, manipulative sister. Does she spend the rest of the series using her
former brother as an emasculated doormat?

If Onii-chan wasn't so weak willed all of this wouldn't be a thing.

Well, it is true. Don't tell me it is not.

Heck, that is the moral of the popular and now old colombian soap opera "Yo soy Betty la fea". The first thing to come to mind after reading your comment.

See, I really despise stories with this message "you're not living your life right". For this reason I evaded that Tomozaki-kun anime as the plague. I like this one because presentation and framework as it have things that I consider fun: genderbent, cute characters, situational comedy, lightly lewd situations and good animation. Gonna stick with this one for that.

[kari-no-sugata II]

A wild gal appears!

Actually, she's quite domestic.

Worship those twin peaks, boob lovers.

[Master_Yoma]

And yet again it seems that no one can lock the bathroom door but it is the most interesting Mahiro to meet Kaede

Such nice swimsuit everyone got

[zeross87]

they definitly go a little too hard on kaede boobs but oh well. next week will be a fun one

[Alchemist007]

Surprisingly decent ep, wonder if the sister actually learned something from her friend's example and Mashiro's newfound attachment.

[ramlaen]

Kaede is a good girl, I'm glad they did all those scenes showing her ability to handle awkward situations. That said the animator really dialed the bikini scene up to 11 compared to the manga.

I really did a double-take when I learned what the scene was like in the manga
Like wow, this is a different character

[Nachtwandler]

So, a million dollar question: if a boy in a girls body got a crush on a tomboy...
