I NEVER SAID IT WAS, I was just say some people consider it counting as wrong. Wanna hear a secret? I personally do not even understand what the big deal of incest is, everyone is always on about love conquering all and love being all that is important. But than you hear lots of uproar about what can supposedly happen from a long line incest, and is supposedly an evil against nature.

I rarely read manga (don't have time) but somehow I read part of this one. It seems to me the sequence of the anime story is a lot easier to follow than the manga.
The one thing I can't answer is, instead of having the 3 girls in a 6-mat apartment and having two of them (the middle school girls) commuting an hour to get to school, doesn't it occur to anyone it would be easier for them all stay at Yuuta's sis's place where there is more room, only Yuuta would have to commute, and he wouldn't have to pay for the apartment so he would have more time and money for the commute? I guess that would wreck all the fun, so anime-law is invoked and everyone refuses to see the obvious. Unless I am missing something obvious. And we know that would never happen.

Even though they're not blood-related, incest comes up as a topic of discussion because the title and the premise deliberately cultivate the taboo, even if it does take measures to prevent creating it fully; the dynamic of the relationship is still like that of a father-daughter one. |

I think people get too caught up in the genetics of incest, when that isn't what's creepy about it. The power structures that make it creepy can exist among unrelated folks.
That said, he's not their father figure yet, he's basically a babysitter, and the idea that a teenaged girl would stupidly have the hots for an older male she hasn't seen very much and has been able to idealize... it's not that weird. I guess it might move in that direction later. I haven't read the manga. And the dude's reactions are quite unpleasant. |

sob sob sob ... I giggled. I actually (so far) prefer the college/Raika stuff to the actual premise of the show, but that may because any time an anime isn't set in a high school I get jazzed. Yay, no cultural festival episode! (Oh crap, they don't have those in Japanese universities, do they?)

I sort of doubt they even have them at Japanese high schools, but who knows. I second that the college stuff is more fun. |

Keep in mind there's two teenage girls that still could have cultural festivals at their school.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention the "sob sob sob" bit, yeah that was great.

Yeah, I thought of that after I posted. I guess I'm assuming that since the girls will be living with him, they will be pulled more into his world as opposed to him being pulled into theirs, but that is merely an assumption on my part. |

PTA if Japanese schools have them. That should be amusing if that happens. |

Actually it's more like "cool bigger brother figure"-niece. While he's technically an uncle, with his age and mindset, he's much closer to that of an older cousin or older brother than either an actual father or uncle. I think he even objected to being called uncle....or maybe it was another anime I watched.
Genetics is the one and only actual reason to be cautious when it comes to incest in the first place, that's the sole reason why some animals in nature try to avoid incestuous pairings. Do animals worry about power imbalance when they choose their mates? And I only say cautious because, let's be honest here, the chances of a mutation only increases marginally when it's only one generation. |

His mindset towards them were shown when I think I remember him almost telling his niece to call him "onii-chan". Lets to a little maths, the eldest about 5 year younger than him, the middle is 8 year younger, and youngest was born when he was around 16. Fairly normal for sibling ages.
I am a 21 year old Cub scout leader, it can be quite apparent that the interactions I have with the kids is closer to being like big brother compared to the elder leaders who are often parents themselves. |

Wow episode 2 was a sad one
 . I was glad to see Yuuta take a stand spoiler[ in not separating the girls. Their parents are dead/missing, so it would be brutal and somewhat inhumane to separate them. I know life is not fair, but it was nice to see Yuuta do what his sister did in the past when both of their parents died.]
Hina is such a cute character. It was funny to see the gamer in Yuuta not even go easy on a 3 year old. It reminded of some anime, which I do not recall, where a rule was established that you should let your girlfriend win some of the games if you go to the arcade together or she will dump you for being a mood killer. |

I'd decided to keep up with this show every week after watching the first episode. Love the youngest girl's character design along with the overall character personalities.
I'll be calling the show Papa Kiki when I discuss it with my friends since the ending credits suggested me to. |
