Unless Hollywood picks up the adaptation rights! They pick up anything popular in the world now! But who would be the young actresses?

Fixed? Looking at Japanese census data from 2005, 57.0% of Japanese women over 15 are married. So, one would expect about a quarter of all Japanese to have wives, assuming negligable rates of polygamy and exogamy. Statistics aren't presented for Otaku separately.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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, ....

How many other series have had OVAs coming out concurrently with a tv series airing, rather than as a follow-up?

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.

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.

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.)

Can you buy this online anywhere?
