Yuki is our heroine, she's an interesting character, i'd describe her as monotone. She wear an expressionless mask unless she's using her- 'FUCK OFF' face.
She seems to lack empathy or she's spent too much time looking after useless men, that'll do it...
The thing about emotionless characters is when they do show a more tender side with a smile or laugh it's just that much more of an impact.
Now her step-brother- Taichi, is a popular pretty boy with an unhealthy sister complex.
I mean if my older brother had a poster of me in his room I couldn't possibly see it as anything but extremely weird.
The manga is all about Yuki and Taichi's parents re-marrying and how the two become a family. However their parents decide to take a spontaneous trip around the world leaving the two alone to live together, basically strangers now they're living together- alone.
Life for Yuki changes drastically in school and at home. Feelings develop, relationships splinter, theres even a slightly odd love triangle!
If I could change anything about this manga it would be to shake it up a tad!
It was just too predictable! Don't get me wrong I really enjoyed the manga! The drawings are beautiful and the dialogue flows easily, but you can see exactly where it's going throughout the whole manga, theres never anything incredibly shocking or exciting because you can pretty much tell how it's going to go.
The ending is exactly like you'd expect. I will admit I was quite disappointed- everything was suggestive! There was no concrete ending, nothing to properly wrap it up.
I felt a bit cheated. However I realise some people really enjoy the idea of not knowing so they can create their own ending, I'm not like that, I want to know EXACTLY what the writer had in mind for the two main characters. It's not my story.
Overall it was enjoyable to read, fun characters, not too long and the artwork was fantastic!
I'd recommend it as a casual read!
No real lesson from this one, though maybe;
If he's not your biological brother it isn't really incest? hahahahahah >O<
