You just forget that they are Japanese that live in Japan where cousin marriage was legal by law.
Yes, I know this thanks to eromanga, don't need to mention it out please.
Even first cousins can marry there, but I'm sure it's still somewhat frowned upon. I'm pretty sure most of the world permits it, and half of U.S. states allow it in some capacity.

Not that I especially care. There's so little done with that information (of course, it's a oneshot), she may as well have been the neighborhood onee-chan or a childhood friend (and she pretty much is the latter).

Gotta make that family circle, incest is too popular now. Feels like something is made incestuous now just because its popular, when it doesn't really need to be.

With how literally the second page's dialogue between his friends stated her as his older cousin and she's attending the new year family gathering, I think it was pretty much clear.

I'm not saying that it was unclear that they're cousins. I'm saying that it functionally doesn't matter that they are, with how little the detail's used, how the characters interact, and how the rest of the story goes.

You could have inexplicably missed her being named as his cousin, assumed she was a neighborhood lady that's chummy with the family, and you wouldn't understand these characters any less beyond that misconception. That's how minor the detail is.

Yea uh did we just forget they're related by blood???
Honestly first cousins can have kids with only a 3% increased chance of having birth defects. And this doesn't say if they're first cousins or distant cousins. Not that big of a deal outside NA.

The artstyle kinda reminds me of Seishun Pop which I've read ages ago. Also same themes lol though that one was between siblings.

I prefer ponytails Koko-nee imo.

It was really cute, then I realized they were related lol. This could have been a childhood friend manga...

But Kazunobu was a good friend to Kokonee! He really reminded her that changing everything about yourself and still being uncomfortable is not the way to live life. Being genuine is a much better way to live life. Trying to be a cool beauty when you were a hyperactive tomboy is hard.

I liked Kokonee better with glasses and ponytail too, so props to her for returning to her old self!

The idea of getting together with your cousin is weird outside the US too.
Can also be weird outside of US, but not everywhere. Please stop making the US standard for everything, I don't want the woke culture or transformers idealism near anywhere from where I am from. Just thinking about it makes me wish rapture happens asap. 🗿

Incidentally, a child born from a single generation of incest, even with siblings, has significantly less of a risk of defects than, say, one born from a woman over 40.

Yet no one is in an uproar about older women having children, or people with a family history of genetic defects, or any of the countless other entirely socially acceptable things you can do to greatly increase the chance of your offspring having serious problems.

Why? Because attacks on incest are the one remaining socially acceptable form of eugenics.
