----------------------------------------
It was a happy end. Slightly unrealistic that Iku still loves him after 10 years, although its not surprising that she is searching for him. Was quite touching when they finally met.

Pretty nice ending of a story I picked up a long time ago. 6/10 overall, had ups and downs. The forbidden love aspect was entertaining and quite well done but there were some shoujo cliches and unnecessary drama throughout.

Lmao, that was so predictable.

This manga's first half was full of smut and shit. But overall, I would say this is more of a mature shoujo as it relied more on mature themes. Still below average imo.

Significantly better than the mediocre anime OVA. I wasn't expecting to pick this up, especially since I don't often read manga, but I'm kinda glad i did. Lots of ups and downs, but some pretty decent and interesting characters. Yano in particular is quite the Bro, and he deserved to be happy. The father is way to good for the mom though, honestly it's hard to believe a character like that can exist.

I think the sad is sorta fitting and acceptable. I don't hold much of the 10 year timeskip since that is just thrown in there for the sake of satiating some fans and is not the "true" ending imo, but still it denotes courage to stick with a controversial ending till the last minute. I did think the whole paternity issue would end up with some time of cop-out in terms of them not being related, but in a suprising twist the entire situation become even more muddled and taboo, and even more bizzare. Still was pretty interesting, if a bit twisted.

I wasn't a big fan of the art most of the time since I felt it was low quality, and I'm also not overly fond of the cliche shojo style. Iku honestly wasn't all that great in most respects, but i guess shoujo main female characters get a similar treatment to main character harem/ecchi leads, namely usually being useless, incompetent, and undeserving.

Besides Yano, the dorm counselor was cool as was his female, i see they are part of an earlier work by the author which i 'might' consider in the future, albeit it seems to be tragic based on the whole disease thing and "dead by 20" prediction.. Azu was also an interesting female and half sibling of Yori, would not have minded seeing them blossom an illicit relationship when she was teasing Yori, who also didn't seem to protest her actions.

Special mention to the ultimate douches of the story- the jealous little runt of a roomate Ogura, and the whore Kusonoki. At first earlier on i thought she was pretty cool, being willing to be with Yori even though she knew he didn't love her, but her actions at the end with the whole getting guys to try to rape Iku crossed all lines.. Oh and the mother is a pretty twisted slut as well honestly. I don't feel that she has any moralistic ground to stand on to condemn Yori and Iku for their inappropriate relationship. Her misdeed was equally as great, however with the added sickness of betrayal and dishonesty over the course of 17 years.

Overall I'll give this a solid 8/10, definitely one of the better manga I've read, and certainly underrated.

It wasnt really as bad as I thought. Though If I read this five years ago I'd probably pretty disturbed but times have changed and anime have corrupted my mind enough that seeing incest is not a big deal anymore.

It was a happy ending but of course they cant get married because they're twins so I guess that's why they only should us their reunion. The real mvp of this show is their father, like seriously, his wife got fucked by his friend on their wedding day and he forgave them wtf. Well anyway I think this manga isnt that bad but of course it's not for everyone. You need to have an open mind to read this.

The ending was very predictable, but that in itself isn't necessarily a bad thing. Even though they turned out to really be siblings in the end, I still thought the whole "who's the daddy" part to be pretty convoluted and quite unnecessary, especially because at the end of the day, it had little to no relevance to the heart of the issue i.e. falling for your brother/sister. Even if they weren't blood-related they would've still been siblings in the eyes of the law and society, so I think the author might've as well just stuck to the original premise without going on irrelevant tangents. The mom is still kindof a bitch tho.

Other than, it was alright I guess. The first half was extremely smutty, and while I can sympathize with Iku and Yori's pain in the second half, the fact that the whole relationship started because of Yori nearly assaulting his sister and manipulating her feelings still leaves a really sour taste in my mouth. The forbidden aspect of their love and its consequences were indeed handled pretty well, but I guess I would've enjoyed the series significantly more if Iku wasn't such a doormat.

5/10 wasn't bad, but wasn't really good either.

Sorry this review is about what you read or what you saw? Because in youtube the "ending" was that Yuri left for his school and she was crying in his bed and this was how it ended. But in wiki I read the whole plot and I found out that it continues...but I can't find the rest of the film anywhere. So is your review based on sth you read or you saw it?

This is the manga discussion forum, so the review you're reading is about the manga.

If you wanna comment on the OVA, the discussion thread is here: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=34147
The anime adaptation (what you've watched) is only one 46min long episode, and it doesn't cover the entirety of the story. If you wanna know what happens next then you need to pick up the manga. The anime adapts the manga up to chapter 16, so you can start reading from there if you don't feel like reading it from the beginning.
