Description
From Anime Waves, edited:
Meet Shizuki Maku. To say she looks "above average" would be a slight overstatement, but it's especially bad compared to her older twin brothers, the high-school heartthrobs Retsu and Tetsu. She always wondered whether or not she really belonged in her family, but things take a shocking twist when her brothers plant the suggestion that they may not be related after all.
Now she's supposed to pick one of them to be her boyfriend, all the while defending herself from all the other girls at school who want to keep her "brothers" for themselves! Life isn't easy when you'... More...

Still really shaking my head. If anything, I really like the chapters flashbacking to her mom and everything to do with her mother rather than Shizuki, who is very inconsistent. While she's not afraid to smacktalk or have a build up eventually and just shout what's on her mind, I think the "strong female character" aspect is kind of iffy because it's not...always there in the way that I think it defines her--you'll have these strong scenes where it's like "Yooooooooo" and she states her case, but I just feel it's so dispersed. Maybe it's just me.
As well, I'm not really a fan of the thought of being in romantic love with two people at the same--it's really hard to discern what kind of love she has for both Tetsu and Retsu specifically in the beginning, and then later on, it's just
inducing. It feels wishy-washy. In addition, the 'plain' aspect of Shizuka when compared to her brothers is really too played up to be anything but remotely annoying every time it gets mentioned. Also, the whole "who is the adopted sibling" question gets dragged into this unnecessarily complicated process
The twins are hot, though. I agree with Skaro there. Also so is their mom, who also is blessed with a really arrogant and vain personality; I love it. Dude, I would love to be mad friends with that woman.

of who is whose kid
, and it is sincerely not really worth your time to figure that out yourself (thanks to whitenoise who did all the work for us).The twins are hot, though. I agree with Skaro there.

i was preparing for the worst when i decided to read this manga since i heard a lot of negative reviews. however to my surprise i actually did like the story. true, that it isn't realistic but the characters touched my heart. i thought that it might gross me out since they are "siblings" but really, there's nothing to be gross out. and the comedy is topnotch by the way. i was really laughing so hard whenever Tetsu made some strange comments with a straight face. i remember his saying "which farm did you come from?". that really made me laugh.
overall, do recommend the manga. just try it, you might like it.

I still don't get why they both love her - cause she tried to protect them as kids? It seems totally unrealistic - for something so not-impressive to inspire such devotion that crosses potential incest boundaries.
The premise is ridiculous, and some themes come up again and again. However, I like this mangaka's sense of humor, and the romance is being developed well. Art is very pretty, and her chibi's are awesome. Overall, it's not a braincracker, but it's enjoyable, and that's what we look for in manga right?
On the sidenote, I wonder whether AnimeWaves has droppped this project. I imagine it must be tedious for fans to wait years for 1 short chapter... *shrugs* just think it's a pity, since the whole series is good.
I can say, she ends with the "brother" I like most ;-)

I felt disappointed with this one since the rates and comments were kinda good and the drawing seemed nice... The beginning was really painful for me, the characters were all irritating, even the good looking guys weren’t that pretty and not much likeable, the drawing wasn’t that appealing for me also.
Luckily, after the volume 5 or something, the story gets more interesting or maybe I got used to all this that were making me mad... The truth is I only didn’t stop reading it because I was so stressed already and couldn’t accept the fact that this manga was sooo bad and didn’t seen to get better any sooner. Maybe that’s one of its few good points since this manga makes us keep reading even though I would punch Shizuka if I could! How can a person be so stupid as to have such horrible friends and let all those annoying girls use her and say bad things about her like that??
and now some spoilers maybe...
As many had said, the story is really confusing and the mystery about it wasn’t even that interesting
In the end I gave this manga a 7 but it actually started as a 5 or lower for me >.<

The part that I liked the most was about the past, but only when it showed Shizuka’s mother much cooler personality... because the ‘queen personality’ that were shown was even more annoying than the girls at the school and I say that because I couldn’t see her treating Shizuka like her daughter and it all added to the fact that Shizuka was a pitiful person... oh, and since this manga is about forbidden feelings, I would say that not only it could have shown more lovely scenes (and this could be smut or not, I just wanted to see more love ><) but also I couldn’t understand how she got to like more Tetsu than Retsu and, like axiem said, how could be such a lame reason for both of then fall in love with a so undesirable girl (sorry, but she pitied herself so much that I couldn’t take it)

Shizuka- Ryouka and Shunji
Testu- Nanase and Shounji
Restu- Haruka and Kouichi
Hitoshi (Nimura)- Haruka and Doctor Nimura
Married couples- Ryouka and Shounji, Nanase and Kouichi, Haruka and Dr. Nimura
Dead people- Shounji, Kouichi, and Nanase (same car accident)
Shounji and Kouichi are brothers, Shounji is younger.
They do not tell you Dr. Nimuras' first name and Hitoshi is always called Nimura. Shounji is also spelled Shunji in the manga.
Ryouka adopted Testu and Restu and raised them as twins since they are very much like their fathers.
Kouichi continued to cheat on Nanase, with the reasoning as they were soul mates, with Haruka even while married but stopped when Nanase became pregnant.
Haruka and Nanase fought over Kouichi, but Haruka lost due to the fact that Nanase became pregnant and lied to her by telling her it was Kouichi's, when it was actually Shounji's.
Shounji liked Nanase even though she was his brothers wife, but once Ryouka forcefully points out all of their flaws and confesses to Shounji, Shounji later develops great feelings for her over Nanase.
Haruka gave Testu away because she didn't want to keep looking back at her painful past. she also didn't abort him because she was hoping that Kouichi might come back to her some day. Little did she know, that when Shounji, Kouichi, and Nanase came back from their road trip, Nanase and Kouichi were going to divorce and Ryouka was going to tell Shounji she was pregnant.
Haruka had Nimura out of loyalty to carry out the line and met her husband through her parents choice.

the brothers are totally hot here! Read this if only to look at them!
It's only slightly disturbing trying to figure out which one is really adopted, but one is willing to forgive a lot with these two adorable bros...

I read this when it was only up to volume 6. Now I come back and found it completed! I had to finish it.
The plot dragged on too long. But I loved it in the end. Made me squeal like a school girl! And I even laughed out loud! definitely some light heart reading.
All in all, it was alright.

It's kinda weird because in the end, they're still first cousins. Still incest -_- Blame their parents >.>
Basically like this:
Ryouko x Shunji (younger Maku brother) = Shizuka
Kouichi (older Maku brother) x Nanase = married early in HS. no feelings so no child
Nanase x Shunji = Retsu bc she wanted to get back at him for not loving her.
Kouichi x Nimura's mom loved each other deeply (basically she was his mistress) = Tetsu
In the end, Retsu is her half bro, and Tetsu is their cousin

Its a good shoujo.
The relationship between Retsu and Tetsu and Shizouka remains strong despite the fact the drama going on and Its very funny. I quite Like Shizouka..
If you are a shoujo fan, I'll definitely recommend this for you.

It's alright I guess? It just feels kind of messy
Pros:
- the personalities of the MCs
- strong female lead
- good art
Cons:
- my ship didn't sail
- relationships / drama felt unnecessarily complex
- lacking moral integrity
- really annoying side characters
