The beginning few episodes were mainly just fluff, but in my opinion the climax was extremely well done for what it is. The message may have been a bit off, but the drama itself was delicious. Well worth the setup. It took itself seriously enough to the point that it didn't cheapen any of the effect that the revelation of an incestuous relationship would have on the characters' reactions. I went into this expecting a subpar rom-com harem and came out enjoying a drama that holds no punches, diving deep into the taboo and the mental state of a boy who believes it is okay ... to have sex with his sister. Watch it if you like that sort of thing, or watch it for the drama. Either way I recommend it.

Haven't I seen this before?

WARNING: CONTAINS ANGEL BEATS! SPOILERS

The entirety of this anime felt like an alternate version of Angel Beats!. Between the odd bits of action, the 'romance', and the overall theme of letting go of one's past in order to progress; I could not stop subconsciously comparing this to Angel Beats!. Even the ending was practically the same, although it was a bit more heavy-handed with the erasure of any real loss of characters (which is to be expected with this medium).

I can't be all critical though. I enjoyed some aspects, mainly how Asahi's emotions were dealt with when his entire world fell ... apart in front of him. It was most definitely not the cookie-cutter harem romance story, although of course it had many elements that one would expect from such a genre.

All in all, it was alright. Definitely not something to re-watch, but it accomplished what it set out to.
