*SPOILER ALERT*

Never done a review before, and normally I would format it a bit better but I can't be bothered since it wasn't really worth my time reading 49/58 chapters thus so far. The only reason I read it was because I thought it was this manga I read a long time ago, but it didn't turn out to be and I thought I'd at least finish it. I thought I'd at least write a review to get a different opinion out there. Albiet, this is a work of fiction, it's still incest and I believe it should be taken seriously, so here is a real, serious, review.

Story - The synopsis on this site isn't too far off, fortunately, but it should be noted that this is not a love story. This is traditional smut, expect the characters to make excuses to have sex, expect the story to twist and turn, and lose original path to make sure there's sex.

Art - 7/10. It's mediocre, typical shoujo

Character - Iku, our "heroine", is a mary sue. Like most shoujo, she lacks a lot of character, though she does show some during comedic moments, but that's all she's for really. I had a hard time relating to her, because her dynamic was completely non-existent.

Everyone else was fine, minus Tomoka-chan, the rival girl. She's your typical stupid rival butting her way between the main couple, I do feel sorry for her that Yori did use her, but she goes overboard, like most of the awful rivals. She never really gets the tables turned on her, and her problems never really get resolved.

Overall - I probably sound like a hard critic. I guess what bothers me most about the manga is that all this started because they 'loved each other'. But they don't really. They make all this commotion, all this fuss, even going to the extent to lie, hurt, and cheat other people, all over lust.

This is not a touching story of a boy accidently falling for his younger sister, and wanting to desperately confess and cherish her. It is not a story of a boy accidently interpretting his sibling love as real love. This is a 'relationship' built on lust.

In the beginning, when Yori describes what attracted him to Iku it was near poetic, such, it would have been if it weren't incest. But that all was completely thrown out the window once they began to touch each other. They craved touch, there was no real love outside a deep sibling love.

In Chapter "43", Yori states: "The reason I left that house is because my parents would've figured it out soon if I'd stayed with Iku. In that case, we wouldn't be able to be together anymore. I didn't want to see that happen, so I at least wanted to protect ourselves by staying apart. And yet, -chuckle-, how ironic, only two months and even my mom already noticed. Ah, After all, what was I trying so hard for... In the end I.. In my eyes, I can see the ending of this love."

Then, he bursts into tears. He states that he worked hard, but he defiantly broke the rules of the dorm, thus getting himself caught. The couple didn't even try to sneakingly hide it at all.

They say that when you commit a sin, the punishment is the sin itself. Meaning, certain sins have a punishment built into them. For example, having sex. The night they committed a taboo, for Iku, the sin was becoming attached to Yori. She may have already loved him, but that attachment grew after they committed that act.

They may already have been attached at the hip as siblings, but Iku did not have a complete dependancy on Yori. After they had sex, she only looked at him. It was like her existence relied on him being around, craving him and his touch. It's sickening to see such a potential of a character just being tossed under the bus. Expect her to consistently be extremely annoying.

All in all, I guess I'd rate this a 5/10. Read it, only, if you're looking for baseless characters, eyecandy and the like.
