Handsomeboy2012 dead. And jeez, the middle of the list is just the Tsundere Graveyard, isnt it?

I remember reading the synopsis for this series, realizing it sounded familiar, and then it hitting me that this is the My Little Sister Cant Be This Cute series that people joke about. Is this our only incest waifu? We didnt get as many FE waifus as I expected, so I think this is our only incest waifu.

Ill be honest, Ive seen a few brother-sister incest things in Japanese media, and Im used to it being revealed that theyre really just step-siblings, so I combed through the Wiki to make sure they were really brother and sister. Theres a route in a PSP game that reveals theyre step-siblings, but its apparently non-canon, so Im treating them as real siblings. However, I do enjoy the idea that the very instant she learns shes not really his sister, she just immediately declares shes in love with him and demands they start dating.

Its hard to even discuss Kirino, because shes a fairly standard tsundere with an otaku streak except for the series main selling point. I feel like she was nominated not because shes super interesting and complex and a fantastic waifu, but rather just to see how Id react to the incest angle, so I almost dont even want to discuss her attributes as a waifu in the same way Ive analyzed everyone else up to this point.

Ive never read Oreimo, but I have to imagine that the incest is its main appeal, right? Like, if this was just a manga about a random boring guy meeting a girl at school and them having nerdy hobbies together, no one would care, right? Is this just about the forbidden fruit angle? I guess my question is this: does Oreimo appeal more to people with sisters, or people without sisters?

Sorry, Kirino. You might deserve better than this in a waifu analysis, but this is what youre getting. You shouldnt have been such a cute little sister, I guess.
