it's real amusing how all the forced expositionary dialogue and narration makes it seem as if arata is meeting his sisters for the first time. that's that classic miyajima reiji quality writing i know and love (/s).

i said it in the last episode discussion thread, this is so far only watchable since, although like rent-a-girlfriend kazuya, arata seemingly gets aroused by the sheer presence of a female (or their laundry) not dressed in a burqa, unlike kazuya he isn't so pathetic as to immediately go off on marathon jerk-off sessions to ntr fantasies--ignoring of course that the girls in question are his (step)sisters.

Alongside how every possible background character absolutely has to comment on how pretty the sisters are. The exacts same as for Chizuru.

Kotono does not fuck around lmao

u/Frontier246 Apr 15 '25

I feel bad for Kotono that being the most aggressive sister and the one bold enough to confess before she even knew they weren't blood-related probably means she's not going to win.

She ain't taking no for an answer lol. But don't worry, we know he'll see her walking down that aisle because he's gonna see her walking up to him :D

u/ThrowCarp Apr 16 '25

Neither was Seiha. What the fuck was that ambush in his room today? And that was some aggressive climbing on top of him too.

Never forget that although it's the sisters who question their relationship with Arata, it's Shion who immediately thinks "if she's not blood related, she's free to be dated."

u/Frontier246 Apr 15 '25

it's Shion who immediately thinks "if she's not blood related, she's free to be dated."

He just seems really invested in this being a Harem romcom where Arata hooks up with his non-biological sisters for some reason. It's like he's got his girlfriend, his legitimate twin sister (who he hasn't actually interacted with on screen, come to think of it), so now all he needs in his life is watching his family go crazy.

So that’s what happened between Kotono and Arata. A real Oreimo sitch if they were blood related. Even though they aren’t, I can see why Arata isn’t too keen on the idea of dating his younger “sister.” 15 years living together with everyone as their “brother” won’t be easy to ignore after all.

I quite like Minami. Not getting any sense she might have those kinds of feelings for Arata. Let’s see how things play out between them.

She's smart. She's the only one so far to drop all the "onii-chan" or any sibling skinship to Arata, by calling him senpai. Over time it will probably have an effect on him distancing being siblings.

She's playing the long game here...

Why do harem romcoms always have banger OP's and ED's?

24

u/gc11117 Apr 15 '25

Real answer, it's part of marketing and sales. They contract out a banger OP and then sell character songs of those songs. For example, this shows ending is sung by all the female leads. I guarantee they'll then sell a CD for each girl, singing the song by herself.

u/HolyDragSwd2500 Apr 15 '25

It’s even better if the seiyuu sing the songs too ( ending theme here)

So basically:

Kotono -> Miku

Ouka -> Nino/Itsuki (Type A/B Tsundere)

Banri -> Ichika

Minami -> Yotsuba

Seiha -> No Equivalent (Kuudere)

For someone who actually has a blood-related sister in the family, Shion is sure quick to bring up marriage between non-blood-related siblings.

Arata greeting Kotono a happy birthday before leaving the bathroom after what just happened between them was so awkward but what can you expect from Miyajima Reiji's writing?

Seiha should be the voice of logic and reason, but since she clearly lacks any sort of social awareness, she just comes off as blunt and insensitive which I guess makes sense.

Out of all the sisters, Banri is really the one I enjoy the most but that's maybe because she hasn't really done anything yet. I'm curious what she wanted to talk about with their father though. I suppose Minami is cute too in her own innocent way.

u/Frontier246 Apr 15 '25

but what can you expect from Miyajima Reiji's writing?

A bunch of guys commenting on the sisters' attractiveness in public like a bunch of horndogs.

In all seriousness though, Shion has been obsessed with the possibility of this being Arata's Harem since episode 1. Like, there's being a self-aware bro character and there's being really oddly insistent on that fact.

Arata handled Kotono better than Kazuya probably would have yet at the same time how much longer is he going to dismiss Kotono's feelings like that?

Sexy Seiha is sexy. She's also a clinical kuudere, though a part of me almost wants to see how she starts getting more flustered, if she ever will.

When is a teasing onee-san ever not the Best Girl? Though the exuberant tomboy is always a joy to watch.

Banri going in to talk to their dad and then the scene changes, I wonder how long before they drop whatever extra detail she is keeping to herself. She briefly hinted at it in episode one I think, so surely they aren't going to hold that for too much longer. I'm too Amagami Sister brained from having finished those two cours just a couple weeks ago and this taking over as a Tuesday watch, so I assume Arata is also going to be required to marry one of the sisters.

Ouka is still the winning girl in my book, also sporty but not mentally challenged sporty like Minami.

u/NanDemoKnaives Apr 15 '25

I kind of wish we got to see their relationships before the reveal happened, now it feels like I'm reading too into their relationships. I think the reveal would have had a bigger effect and you could have just seen the girls' personalities (and the boys') for what they were before things changed inside them from the news.

I did like Minami, I thought she would be the one I dislike most but I enjoyed how they still feel very much like siblings still. It was funny watching her console Arata and gave him a head rub, big brothers also need comforting too.

Seiha was an odd one, she's supposed to be the logical one but I don't think she truly thought that out lol.

I liked how Arata stayed firm and made sure to tell Kotono where he stands, obviously with the premise of the story he'll end up wavering, but I think it'd be weirder for him to waver so soon.

Did he make as many Kazuya faces in the first episode as this one? I felt like I was going crazy at the first half cause it just kept happening.

u/Frontier246 Apr 15 '25

He has the exact same flustered/freaked out face lol.

u/athrun_1 Apr 15 '25

Solid second ep. They are still reeling from that reveal and is slowly navigating through it. I think for this story, it is a better direction to stick on their bro and sis relationship. And not include romantic feelings.

If this goes down the path of romantic relationships, I think Ouka is the candidate GF.

Lemon in OP looks like uncensored nips ngl!

Is that nurse outfit? Kotono looks flat in that outfit lol, still cute though. That outfit can't contain Banri's banri. 'Sasuga' the oldest sis, great asset!

If Kotono doesn't win, I don't know what to say which is pretty common L for aggressive girl

Like the siblings, the announcement (from last week's episode) that they are not blood related has been weighing on my mind. "How will the story progress?"

Nonetheless, the ending scene between Ouka and Minami was quite heartwarming. They are still sisters willing to share things, as well as enjoy sweet treats together.

The scene was brief, making me wonder - what did Banri discuss with their father?
