A touching story..

Don't get me wrong.. I vehemently reject incest relationship. I also recommends mature adults to avoid striking relationship with late adolescents.

While the legitimacy of Koshiro and Nanoko is up to debates, I would suggest those that thinks this is an inspirational romantic manga to drop those foolish absurd nonsense immediately.At the bare of it , this is nothing more than an idolized fiction story born of the mangaka's personal conviction about the subject.

After that is properly said and understood, then we can appreciate the depth of this literature on a taboo subject on relationships that has last seen acceptance probably only during the period of Man's first family.

Well, all in all even though it ended here. I still thinks that the mangaka has told a nice and emotional story. Nothing more nothing less.

I liked the story, the theme is taboo, but the way the story developes showing the choices they make, and their struggle in their search for each other happiness is what got me.

I would not recommend this manga if you do not have an open mind. but the problem (incest) for the protagonists could have been disease, already married, prejudice, etc.

Impressive in Every Aspect

Probably most people go into thIs title knowing it's an incest story, so I won't waste effort talking about that.

This is a serious story, presented in a serious manner, with what appears to me as very carefully thought-out artwork and dialogue. Immediately apparent to me were two things: First, the brother is depicted from the very beginning as being very emotionally distraught. He has problems with relationships, and is generally portrayed as a miserable, self-loathing, depressed person, looking for comfort wherever he can find it (provided it doesn't require real effort on his part). Second, the artwork is always excessively dark. I'm not sure if it's just the artist's style, or if it was an intentional device, but rather than scenes being drawn as outlines with shading/shadows added where appropriate, it was more like most scenes were drawn as blackness with white left to give highlights where necessary, to define shapes. The girl is also depicted in various ways, depending on the context, where the brother is portrayed quite consistently throughout. She's quite childlike most of the time, but sometimes she'll suddenly become very beautiful and behave like an adult -- my interpretation is this is how her brother sees her, depending on how he feels about her and their relationship at the time. If it's on purpose, the mangaka is brilliant; coincidence, and it's an amazing one, at that.

The story is significant, and presented seriously. What you think of the outcome doesn't really matter -- just take it seriously, and be prepared for a bit of shock as you work through it.

Slice of life...

This is a very touchy subject purely because it's "taboo" and society has ingrained us all to think in a certain way. For a manga to tackle this issue in such a direct and honest fashion is difficult, and the author has my greatest respect for it.
I know I'm gonna get bombed for this, but one of the reasons this manga is significant to me is that I've been in this situation, albeit a little closer in the ages, but the principal was the same. Now currently married with a family (as is my sister...to someone else 😛 ), having come out the other end of that issue in a different fashion than Koshiro has. Although having gone through similar self-doubt and guilt we see here in this manga. Taboo or not, we're human and things will happen around us and to us, and to be honest to one's self is what should matter most, not what society thinks is best. Makes me wonder if the author has similar experience and is trying to reach out to others.

It was nice not to have to sit through another 'magical' change of personality to get things moving in this story, but rather to let time tell it's tale, making this feel all the more real to read. Artistically, I agree with previous posters that the physical differences are bit overdone, though. It almost seems like they were being put into archetypical roles, with him being large and intimidating, and her being small and a bit overly child-like. Aside from that, the art was nice without being too sketchy or distracting, with the significant moments having a wonderful level of detail.

Top-notch realistic storytelling and worth a read even if the topic isn't quite your normal 'cup of tea'. Just about the right length, too...not too short to seem rushed, and not too long to seem like you can't wait for it to end

Took a little off in the rating due to character art, but every other aspect is wonderful

The huge age difference and incestuous relationship between two siblings would surely turn a lot of people off, but these are issues that the mangaka deals with deliberately in Koi Kaze. She handles the subject matter delicately and seriously, with none of the common fluff treatment seen in romance mangas. The controversial subject of 'incest' is dealt with head-on unlike some other mangas, which touch on a brother-sister romance but are quick to declare the couple as "not blood-related" to avoid arousing readers' discontent.

If you are looking for idealistic romances (where societal barriers are easily overcome or virtually non-existent), paper cut-out characters which "look good together" and kinky treatment of brother-sister relationships, then maybe you shouldn't read this. But once you set aside certain preconceived ideas and pick up this manga, I think you'll find it a poignant yet conflicted read - for me, I was always torn between revulsion and sympathy towards the siblings.

(If you've finished the manga, I hope you'll go watch the final episode of the Koi Kaze anime as well, it's really good!)

Pedo incest... must have made some people happy. With that said, the story could've easily been written as step siblings like in KissxSis and no one would've raged. Other than that, I must say the drawings are a bit emotionless, as with his other series, one of the reasons why I like newer generation mangakas. The ending is a bit ambiguous, well only one part of it and like others have said, the people in this manga are just too "okay" with the incest going on.

But hey, its manga, if you take it seriously, there's something wrong with you, not the manga.

I just love the quirky aspects and cuteness.. But I really couldn't decide to be happy for them, or be sad that their relationship wasn't approved. Seriously, their sweetness was so cute, who could say that their relationship was a monstrosity?

This story really didn't sit well with me, and suprinsingly it was the execution of the story and not the incest itself that made me dislike "Koi Kaze".

For starters the story is presented in a very realistic setting but then reader is bombarded with logical and moral fallacies. Since this story is a departure from the typical ecchi-comedy route it relies on different plot devices than most incest stories, both characters become extremely tsundere for each other after the discovery that they are siblings. The age gap was also troubling and often overlooked, I have never met a highschool girl who was interested in a man nearly twice her age (whom in this story has no outwardly redeeming characteristics). In turn the male lead seemed to have unreasonably poor judgement for a man of his age, coupled with a propensity to half-ass everything: he never really seems to take strides to have a normal brother-sister relationship. Secondary love interests are presented but underdeveloped and immediately swept under the rug by both siblings.

In the end the message I got from this was do what ever the the hell you please and be selfish with total disregard for this around you, it's ok as long as you are being true to your feelings. In the end I would recommend "KissxSis" or "Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki ja Nai n da kara ne!!" for a light, humorous incest related read. Admittedly I do not frequently read romance novels but this book seemed less like a romance than a fall to temptation.
