Oh god I wish. That's one line we haven't crossed in mainstream TV anime yet, a true to God futanari protagonist. It's happened a bunch in professional non-hentai manga, but it's time for it to occur on the small screen. The problem is all of the hijinks don't work unless their extremely sexually in nature, like the story has to constantly remind you and the characters that the protagonist has both sex of organs, like My Two Wings and Bra Girl.

Thank god futanari has stayed within hentai, it's one of the worst things to ever come out of anime fandom. I could pratically write a thesis on how it's represenative of the neuroses within hardcore Otaku fandom.

I think it would be pure comedy gold if kiss x sis were rebooted with the girls being futanari. I know I've said I'm not a fan of these fanservice shows, but at least in this case it would serve the purpose you outlined. I know bare penises are a no-no, but I wonder if they can show clothed erections rubbing on television? Alas, I don't see it happening.

And one of the things about it is that when people see "futari" (二人), the normal Japanese word for "two people", they think "hermaphrodite", and start subthreads like this.

It's not like there was much to discuss about the game itself, so why not?

Felt like posting the onscreen text after the credits and title.

乙女としての日々 Otome to shite no hibi
乙女としての友情 Otome to shite no yuujou
乙女としての危機 Otome to shite no kiki
エルダーという名の乙女 Elder to iu mei no otome.
