My Thoughts

I didn't read the description of this anime correctly and i thought it was about a girl with the goal to become a wedding planner...it was a bit different.

This anime take a very uncomfortable subject and make it feel very real, I've come across anime that touch on the incest subject but without any feeling or shame, its just i want to have sex with you and i don't care that your my brother/sister.

This anime takes the issue very seriously and you can feel the torment of the characters, they know it isn't right and they try to deal with and move on with the feelings they feel towards each other.

Its really tragic, and i did feel sorry for the characters...the ending was OK, i wish it gave what the ultimate decision was, it did show a few options for example moving away together, but i didn't feel satisfied that it had come to a conclusion.

Besides the incest her age also made me feel very uncomfortable.

Overall i really enjoyed the anime, it came across very real and makes you think about the subject in a serious light. The other characters acted the way i felt they should and no one took the subject lightly.

The anime didn't really look that great and the music very forgettable. But for the story alone 8/10
