While I would like to see it to since I am a fan of the show and the manga, I'm about 99.99% sure that neither will come across the pacific. |
Unless Hollywood picks up the adaptation rights! They pick up anything popular in the world now! But who would be the young actresses? |
I highly doubt anyone in Hollywood would touch this with a 10ft. pole. The subject matter is already controversial for most people and even if it was made, what studio would want to produce it, let alone get the rights for. Lets say if it was made, it would so much negative flak from it, no one would want to watch it.

Also, about a quarter of households have four or more members, so siblings aren't as rare as all that.
Take a look at http://www.stat.go.jp/english/index.htm. |
That's not so great when in the 2008 cenus for England and Wales alone a total of 47% of families had 2 or more children in their home, and incest doesn't have to restrict itself to childhood siblings. Thankfully any incestuous relationship are either well hidden, or virtually non existent here, and when they are exposed those involved are usually charged with a sexual offence.

Koi Kaze (among others) made it here.
Angel Sanctuary (among others) made it here.
There's not much stopping kissxsis - ANN seems to attract the vocal prude minority.
Romantic intimacy and sex between blood siblings is allowed but a romantic comedy between step-siblings and without sex is going too far?

They made Humpback Mtn. Incest romantic comedy - what's not to love? It's like Friends if they're all related.

The name "Kiss X Sis" is a bit more alarming than "Koi Kaze" and "Angel Sanctuary" no?
Had Koi Kaze actually been looked at by someone in some "protect the children" organization, it would have been a mess. But it flew under the radar cause nobody knows what the hell "Koi Kaze" is.
Whereas, "Kiss X Sis" does not leave much to the imagination as to its content.

So a US company renames it. They do it all the time.

My point was just that "very few" was a bit of exaggeration. For most children to not have a sibling, the fraction of households with more than one child would have to be less than half the fraction of households with only one child, and that's not what is reported. Japan isn't China. But all this data is hard to navigate through, since it isn't targetted to this specific question. (And there is a lot of interesting, irrelevant data, such as sex ratios among the foreign population in Japan. Among foreigners from the Philippines, 23.1 males per 100 females. Among foreigners from the U.K., 245.9 males per 100 females. That's got to have an influence on Japanese views of foreigners.)

Happening rather frequently lately. There was Night Raid just recently, and Darker Than Black's first OVA came out 1 month after its second season run. Yeah, the numbers are low, but perhaps because they're just beginning to pick up this habit. |
It's an OAD not OVA. i.e released as a bonus with the manga not independantly. They're becoming far more normal.
In this case the TV anime has come out during the OAD series which apears to be out with every volume of the manga. Since when would the manga stop releasing volumes due to the TV anime airing! Delaying the disk until the next volume is a very long wait; where they might as well make OAD #6 in order to gouge more money from the otaku that buy the limited Ed of the manga for it.

Fortunately I'm on the other side of the Pacific.

You also didn't state whether that Japanese census covered all of the nation, or just Tokyo. But really this is irrelevant as how many fans of anime, or manga incestuous fantacy would actually have brothers, or sister, or both? Can't be many unless there isn't some moral value that prohibits it, which I can not believe is true, but wouldn't be surprised. It is Japan afterall.

To everyone saying this couldn't be picked up stateside, I bet dollars to doughnuts that John Sirabella is currently in talks with Star Child for the American distribution license. And it will be dubbed.

Anywhere you can buy Japanese manga, Amazon for example. It is due out on the 22nd November and they have it available for pre-order:
http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4063583228/
The volume with the 4th OVA is already sold out there - and it only came out yesterday.
