Summary:
The story is set in the distant mountain village of Okukozome-chou. Haruka Kazugano and his twin sister Sora have fond childhood memories of going to the village to visit their grandfather during their summer vacations. However, after losing their parents in an accident, the two must move in with their grandfather.
The twins get reacquainted with their old childhood friend Nao Yorihime, their new classmate Ryouhei Nakazato, the shrine maiden Akira Amatsume, and Akira's friend Kazuha Migawa. All seems peaceful and familiar. However, beneath the surface is a secret promise that the twins made with each other long ago, the whereabouts of an important lost item, and the real reason they chose to come back here.

Ok first things first, a lot of people are getting the wrong idea of this anime without watching it through the latest episode so I'm gonna clarify some stuff.
1) The plot has the same structure as that of Amagami SS. Meaning to say that there are several plots, each girl has her own story with the main character, which is Haru. Their story does not begin right from the start, the first episode is probably just there to introduce you to everyone. So far, in the story of the first girl, there aren't anything particularly wrong between the siblings. They are just, siblings, that's all. Main point, it's not a love triangle, square, pentagon or whatever. It's simple and stuck to just the main heroine of that arc.
2) Er... If I didn't read wrongly, someone said something about no sex scenes... Well, you can't see everything, it's not hentai but there is nudity (only the upper body) involved, as well as bedroom scenes. (one so far since there's only one arc) So... I guess parental guidance is gonna be needed for this, don't let your young kids watch it, yup =X
3) Keep in mind that I'm writing this review based on the first 4 episodes I've watched. Judging from the overall anime though, I won't be surprised if there is gonna be incest involved in the end when the sister's arc arrives. I can safely say though, that the Episodes 2, 3 and 4 focused on just how one of the girls got together with the guy so yup. Other than just love, there are other emotional factors that the anime brings out, like family love and relationships. It can be heartwarming if you haven't seen too many of those already. Bits of humor are thrown here and there throughout the anime as well, so far, it's no the sort of depressing anime from what I can tell.
In anyways, it's ok to try this anime (as long as you're of eligible age), the storyline and animation are decent. Dialogue is ok, but I prefer more comedy types, which isn't prevalent here. Entertainment wise... Well, it somewhat got me interested to watch the next episode, but just for leisure and not something I'd chase after.
So yup, give a try instead of avoiding it just cause everyone's commenting it to be like a pure incest anime. It's not for now. If you really can't take incest, just skip those parts or when the sister's arc comes, don't watch. Ok! It's a pretty long review, and the first one I've done too so.... Hope it cleared some doubts! Enjoy~! =)
