Was hoping for more resolution on the mysteries of Hiyori's and Yuuya's past, but not surprised at the actual "buy the source material, suckers!" / potential sequel-season-bait ending. Indeed, the show is a conflicted jumble of tender moments and morally-questionable acts, but if you embrace the wrongness enough, it's pretty entertaining. Especially if you get one of the more liberal translations.

This was absolutely dreadful. I watched every episode. I seem to be a sucker for watching one of this type of show in each season so I can spend 20 minutes recoiling into the sofa. At least they're not boring, that's all I can say in my defence.
Now that I have the chance to ask, what was the point of the chastity belt? Ghost girl wants to have sex via Mitsuki's body, so she puts a magical device on her that prevents her from having sex? Why? Perhaps this was explained in the first episode, so can anyone remind me? |

There is no reason for the chastity belt other than it almost causes the girl to piss herself and is an excuse for lots of closeups of her crotch area. |

That was my question too and they never explained it. My conclusion is that the writer just wanted a story with chastity belts in it because that was a fetish he wanted to pander to. A possible rationale was that the restraint stimulus would actually turn Mitsuki on enough that she would take action. As I wrote before she seems pretty clearly pictured as a bsdm "bottom" that has a pleasure response to restraint and humiliation. That kind of theme would be unremarkable in a hentai but perhaps they wanted to aim for "edgy" in the mainstream and just ended up with stupid. |

Japanese girls are different - they're very sensitive.
Even The Brady Bunch? |

I watched out of morbid curiosity. I was surprised at how much it calmed down after the first couple of episodes, but it never really reached even "average".
Absolutely. The one other high point for me was Neko cracking up in a cafe right at the end. |

The point of the chastity belt was to force Mitsuki into complying. If Mitsuki didn't comply, she'd never get the chastity belt off. The time limit that it has when opened is there to further inconvenience Mitsuki. The bigger question is; why would Hiyori only let Mitsuki open it up for a few minutes at a time? Even if Mitsuki did end up having sex, she'd have to make it super-quick every time, which would, as you implied, make it much harder to fill up the meter and would defeat Hiyori's entire purpose. The best answer I can give you to that is that it's a plothole. |

or they could experiment and try the other hole.

I saw that coming a mile off. But I came down here to say that if anyone wanted to see a variation of this same plot line -- a sexually repressed high school girl finds happiness and liberation through supernatural domination, you can watch Hadigirl. |

Haven't watched it yet but I intend to just to satisfy personal curiosity. From the sounds of the review it sometimes sounds less like incest genre and more like there's a "these are the realities of both incest and abuse, do you still find this stuff attractive?" angle hiding in there somewhere. Then again I could be wrong and it's another one jumping on the OreImo bandwagon.

I think you might be wrong. The series was very pandering and full of fanservice, and the awful treatment of Mitsuki was treated like it was totally okay and something that she should just deal with. Also, there's no real incest as far as I can tell. If you're wanting a series that deals with incest in a mature manner and that is not afraid to show the negative aspects of it, I'd recommend Koi Kaze. |

I actually really liked the 'abusive' part of the story considering we usually get the girl destroying the boy in this situation. So it's nice to have the girl be the butt of the joke for once. Also, the piss jokes and the crudeness was somewhat funny to me. But it's risque and obviously not everyone will take to it. That's understandable.

I dunno, the series took it a little too far. If a male character went through that, I would still be just as disgusted. Shit ain't okay in my books. No way, sir. |
