Could have been a good romance if it weren't for the incest.

Not too long nor too short. The art is also good.
Plot was one of the interesting and uncliched that I've read in its genre.
It left me with thoughts after that, not too deep because the manga itself was not that long to have that kind of impact, but enough thoughts to keep me for a few hours.
Retrospectively, one can say that the ending of the stories is predictable, but the story progression and reactions of the female leads that led to the end were so not predictable, actually very realistic.
Kind of leaves a taste for more.

If you're her fan, like me, mostly coz of the art, this kind is no surprise or absurd at all.
This is very typical of hers since it's short, most things don't really work out well, and leave you with much much thoughts (and not even deep thoughts)

It was very intersting and started off well, but it just felt incomplete to me... I expected it to be another chapter after 3 but it was just a oneshot... I really think that the relationship between the 3 needed more development... I also agree with SilentFaltrnLesrWatr's review, i felt that there was not enough clarification and it made the story a little empty...

I only rate this manga a 7 because of tsubaki(the homosexual stepbrother). It's so sad and touching how he fell in love and how much guard to endure the torture... I love "tsubaki's story". Makes me want to cry. Yes, himeko was cute but she get annoying. Yoshino was a cool character, but I TOTTALLY agree with tsubaki when himeko didn't react to his actions and teased tsubaki instead; tsubaki "then you should just pick me instead..."

The second story was pretty much just the same as the first with different names and WITHOUT TSUBAKI.....

Man, this manga is horribly dark. Even if the scene is supposed to be funny, I can't even laugh. This story is pretty dark, and it's all about incest. Not much smut scene actually, but it's kinda like focusing on how the brother starts being from a good brother to a twisted brother with desires for his sister.
It was weird. Very weird. I'm not a fan of incest stories but I gave it an 8 because of the ART! very gorgeous actually.
I think if this type of art is drawn with gothic style, it's much better and darker! But overall, it was okay. The sidestory was a bit creepy as well. Another twisted brother yearning for his sister.

Himeko was a weak lead-she was the weakest link, imo. A stronger heroine wouldn't necessarily have taken away from this story, but the mangaka likes to use weak heroines.

This is still my favourite incest manga (the runner-ups being tsumi ni nureta futari and Eden no Hana) because it actually sort of created this intense and angsty atmosphere in only two chapters. I only love the mangaka because of this work (the other ones are even worse off in terms of plot and character, imo). My favourite character was Yoshino, for sure, despite how twisted he was
.
The mangaka was able to create the dark and twisted atmosphere that an incestual relationship usually is perceived as having.

This story portrays the true risks of a weak female lead having a relationship with a manipulative male lead. In so many shoujo manga (*cough* Hot Gimmick/Teacher's Pet *cough*), the male lead does even worse things to the female lead, and she just takes it. Or even worse, she falls in love with him because of it.

I will note that this manga only got such a high rating from me because it is one of the only few incest mangas where the couple decides to go through with it and angst happens. Had they been regular classmates, I would have laughed and called Yoshino a yandere stalker. Plus, some other ways incest is dealt with in manga, such as , is pathetic and laughable, and it doesn't treat the subject with the sensitivity and seriousness it deserves.

I gave a it a bad rating, but It was not bad, and I did not dislike it. But I couldn't like it or anything because It was so short. I was kind of thrown into a story, which is okay, but then it was not explained. Nothing was really clarified or made any since. The story was pretty much laughable because it is so short. The art was pretty good, the scans made them not look as good but I could tell that they were well drawn, and the drawings fit the characters. The characters were also drawn with very good expressions. Overall it was a story I never really knew and could have been explained a lot better.

WHAT SO GOOD ABOUT THAT MANGA??!!! I mean... it's not bad manga, really! Just have a bad characters! I didn't hate incest but that love of THAT siblings is so Agressive and so WEIRD!!! Seriously, is that you call LOVE? Romance? It's more visible as mere lust!
And i kind of feel bad for Tsubaki. His love can't reach to Yoshino. But at the same time, i glad if Tsubaki not with Yoshino. He can found someone else better than Yoshino who i think is EVIL GUY!!!

as an incest fan, this manga is pretty good in my view. i really love that love prevail all! however, theres some cons. the characters are too insubstantial and washy washy. i cant get a grip on their true personality, they change according to what the plot want them. but, i get that some people rather be hurt than hurt the person they care about and i like that development. however it is a bit too fast. probably just a matter of pages.
the art is very very beautiful, it have an alienistic quality in it. sometimes the characters look like some kind of demon when they show any negative expression. it may put some people off, but to me the thin graceful art is very pleasing to the eyes.
eventhough im a fan of incest, theres always this nagging knowledge that anyone raised together from birth to 6 years of age will have repelling effect, so my enjoyment to this manga is quite reduced by it. but if you can ignore such fundamental knowledge, this manga at the very least give you a bit of enjoyment.
