Yey! Loli-incest!

And I'm not being sarcastic. "I don't love my brother at all! was hilarious, and I hope this will be too.

I'm interested to see how this turns out. It could be really good and funny, or it could fall flat on its face.

Update: Crunchyroll's official synopsis lists Sora as a 10th grader, but she is a second-year middle school student.

Wow, so C-roll thinks she's a 1st year in high school when she's actually a 2nd year in middle school? That's pretty bad...

Anyway, I'll be skipping on this.

As for the incest, spoiler[from what I've read the kids are from his brother in law's previous marriage, so there is no blood relation.]

I can see how the mistake can come from when people try to convert between the two school systems which are not equivalent, especially if it's from one party who's not familiar with the other. Personally I never like this conversion in the English translations.

I don't think that's what happened...there's still a huge difference between the two. First year in high school would be 15/16 compared to 2nd year middle school being 13/14. 2 years of difference is a lot in those age ranges. Maybe they misread something on the website or something. Japanese school system is that much different from some here in the US (in terms of ages and grades). Only differences between the schools I went to is that 9th grade was in high school when in Japan that's the last year of middle, and my 6th grade was in middle while that's still elementary in Japan. Nothing major. Most likely just a simple mistake

No. Outside of some shower scenes and "accidentally walk in while changing" stuff there's nothing sexual about it.

It bears repeating but the main character has the hots for his upper classman, an older, very well endowed woman. He doesn't view any of his nieces as anything other than his precious family.

The nieces, however, don't necessarily share that view.

I'll be approaching this one with extreme trepidation.

I didn't think the same of Lotte's Toy, but the last episode pretty much blew the "non sexual" dynamic right to hell and it didn't offer anything visual.

Just saw the image. Is it me, or is Yuri (Angel Beats) doing a cameo? The girl on the left...

Tomohiro Matsu's original "slapstick at-home romantic comedy" light novel series revolves around Yūta Segawa, a 19-year-old college freshman who suddenly discovers that he must be the father of three girls.


When I read this I looked at the pic and thought, "How is a 19 year old the father of 3 kids that old? He must have been busy!" I then read the rest of the paragraph and thought, "Oh there not his kids, he just has to raise them."

I have to admit thought I think it would be funnier if it was the way I original thought.

Production committees who know their market.

Or do you mean the pick up by Crunchyroll? They bid for everything, its the licensors who decide whether to accept the bid or not.

In a 6/3/3 system, second year in middle school is American "grade 8" ("Second Form" in a 6/4/2 system like the UK). In a 5/3/4 system, first year in HS is grade 9 (and in a 6/2/4 system, second year in Junior High is grade 8, just like second year in Middle School in a 6/3/3 system).

If you are trying to make second year of middle school into Grade 7, aren't you making the opposite mistake to what Crunchyroll made?
