I don’t know why, but after seeing this scene, it feels like MC has two wives and two daughters. Such a happy family :meguu:

Series would've been better if it went all in on the sister and if it was ero tbh. After ch.20 or so this started becoming your typical harem romcom sigh
I agree 100%. I'm not particularly interested in the other girls as romance candidates. Imo it has become boring because it doesn't have the lead commit to any particular relationship. Plus, the other girls aren't very interesting. They're generic and it's hard to see what they see in the main character.

It would have been better if they focused on the sister. Maybe one rival to keep things interesting and to challenge the brother's indecisiveness.

it does feel like the series lost direction the moment the talent scout showed up.
I can take or leave wincest, but focusing on just him and Akira and their dynamic would have made for a more compelling story, I think.
You have the other acting sibling duo to set up a point of contrast, with the potential for a triangle (or even rectangle, if you wanna get real Drama about it) to spice up the narrative, but now with the gaggle of other girl characters who inexplicably fall for the MC because "he's just a nice guy, yo" has really screwed with what I thought would be the primary point of the story.

There was a concrete angle with the "high school boy gets a boyish younger step-sister who falls for him and he has to navigate school and life and his feelings and society", but now as someone else said it's just a dull harem with a devolving Male Protagonist whose primary trait is "I'm baseline nice and polite" with nothing interesting about him.
That, coupled with the super pushy talent agent who's hellbent on signing his sister and pushing her into acting and has weird shady ties to Akira's father, and it's just way too much happening all at once.

It wants to be super dramatic and also harem shenanigans and also "oooh wincest" and yet "nah no taboo here lol" and it's like ....pick a lane, Mangaka-san.

Dead honest, I thought the "Acting Scout" angle had a chance to inject some stakes and add in some taboo "We can't be caught being naughty" angles to the not!Incest step-sister angle. I absolutely HATE how they introduced it and I hate Nitta, but "forget how our parents will feel, if we're caught Not!Dating it'll be a nation-wide scandal and we'll never live normal lives".
(which makes Bro pushing into acting that much more fucking retarded but w/e)

Yui's intro as a losing heroine irritates me less than normal (for now) I think because of how ridiculously clear what she feels isn't real romantic love, and she's needed to knock Akira out of her safety zone.

But it feels like the Mangaka can't decide if MC is dating his tomboy stepsister or if he's a harem protag.
