All right, let's go!
Akino, did you just go to a marriage interview?
Yes. I did, Aki-oniisama.
Our grand-aunt from the main family came to discuss it.
You don't plan on accepting it, do you?
I don't want to do this, either.
But...
You can't!
I couldn't stand it.
I couldn't stand to see Akina belong to someone else.
This beautiful black hair.
This clear skin.
If another man will defile this...
...then right here and now, I will take it.
You can't do this, Aki-oniisama.
We are blood-related siblings.
There is no way this would ever be permitted.
I don't care.
You may be my sister, but as long as there's love, it doesn't matter.
This author really is the best.
The way Onii-chan and I should be is written right here.
Onii-chan!
You've finally come to take me in the night!
I'm going to be clear with you:
No, I haven't.
So that means you're here to request that I come for you.
Nope, not at all.
Even if I were, that would be far too roundabout.
Then what are you here for?
Akiko, I've been hearing something for a while now.
I can hear those "gu~heh~heh~" sounds you're making.
Are you reading a book?
What kind of book is this?
Tales of
Forbidden Love
"Tales of Forbidden Love."
Shindou Koichirou?
Y-You gots it wrong...
I can see that you're shocked, since you lapsed into Kansai dialect...
...but mind telling me how I got it wrong?
I-It's not like I went out and bought this with my own money.
Your name is written right here.
Himenokouji Akiko
Argh, I've been betrayed by my good habit of writing my name on my own things.
But that's not how it is.
This is a misunderstanding.
Don't be misled by the cover and the title.
This book is amazing.
The brother and the sister in the book love each other.
Finally, they cross the line.
In the end, they even elope.
You might think this is all nonsense...
...but this is pure love.
It's literature!
By the way, the two protagonists are called Akiyo and Akina...
...so maybe it's a bit too close to heart...
...but that's just part of the book's setting.
If you read Shindou Kouichirou's other books...
...I'm sure you'd understand!
Could it be that you're a fan of this author?
A huge fan.
Are you serious?
Please, Onii-chan, don't look so openly disappointed.
Even I'll feel hurt.
Even if you say that...
Please try it for yourself.
If you read it, I'm sure you'll be able to tell how amazing it is.
I'll pass.
Just the climax at least!
I'm fine.
Spare me.
Then I'll read it to you.
"Akiyo joined his lips with Akina's.
'Ah, Nii-sama!'
As that slipped from her lips, a sweet fragrance floated from her beautiful white skin...
...and as she was trembling-"
Akiko, I got it.
Everyone has their own hobbies.
There are a ton of things that I want to say to you...
...about being immersed in such hobbies.
But if this is what you choose for a hobby, I want to respect that.
In other words?
I'm going to pretend I didn't see anything this time.
Really?
In return, I need some promises from you.
First, you have to promise to keep that book out of my sight.
Yes, I understand.
When I'm not around, for example...
...if you want to read it before going to bed, that's fine.
But promise me that you won't make a sound.
I understand that too.
And, one more.
You have to promise to never bring up the book or anything related to the author again.
Yes, I understand.
That's all then.
Good night.
Ah, hold on, Onii-chan.
Since you're already here, would you like to take me now?
Ah, that's so mean!
You lead me on so much!
Doing nothing is too mean!
If you want, I can get back into the futon and pretend I'm sleeping.
Onii-chan!
Kanae Shopping Street
English Cafe
Ah! Thanks for coming.
Hello, Jinnou-san!
I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
No, no.
I just got here myself.
No, no. I'm really sorry for being so demanding this time.
You really were.
You're still just a newcomer.
This wouldn't happen normally.
You're totally right.
I have to be more professional, since it is a job.
Well, I understand your situation.
Personally, I think that at your age, your goal of working...
...so that you can live together with your sister is a great thing.
Thank you, but I still have to try much harder.
Setting aside the deadline...
...you should try to earn the trust and meet the expectations of your editor-in-chief.
With that said...
...let's get to business.
Overall, your writing this time was fantastic.
Your level of writing has jumped.
Tales of Forbidden Love
(Continued)
A beautiful world of love between a brother and sister, a world befitting of Shindou Kouchirou.
Let's love the way we want, everyone is cuter!

All girls, no matter who they are, are all self-producers.

Let's love the way we want and with an honest attraction.

To a future better than we can imagine,
予想以上のミライへと
yosou ijou no mirai e to!
self produce
I think that you're doing this too half-heartedly.
Everyone knows that I look at you as a romantic interest.
But conversely, you haven't made your attitude towards me clear.
No.
I'm making it perfectly clear.
There's no way that my sister can be my romantic interest.
Oh, again. Onii-chan is trying to hide his embarrassment.
Do you know what people who can't be honest with their feelings are called?
They're called "tsundere".
I already know what tsundere is.
All right, Onii-chan.
Let's have you be more honest one step at a time.
If you say, "Akiko, I love you. Marry me!" right now...
...you could clear up everyone's misunderstanding immediately.
What "misunderstanding"?
The great misunderstanding that we are not a couple deeply in love.
That's not a misunderstanding.
Everyone has got it 100% correct.
That's fine, Onii-chan. Just stay the way you are.
You are so tsundere-like that Akiko is getting chills.
But if you're going to be tsundere, could you try to be more clear?
How should I be more clear?
Leave it to me, the tsundere meister!
Now, follow and repeat after me!
"It's not like I like Akiko at all or anything, okay?"
Your turn.
Ah, the weather's turned cloudy.
Repeat after me, without being embarrassed.
It's not like I'm looking at Akiko as a romantic interest at all.
That's not tsundere at all!
He turned my line around on me completely.
Are you happy yet?
The next lesson is about to start.
Hurry up and go back to your classroom.
Now is the only time you'll have that attitude.
I'm going to make sure you say things more tsundere-like for the next break.
Yeah, yeah.
Ah, but don't misunderstand.
It's not like I like Onii-chan at all or anything, okay?
It looks like Onii-chan hasn't been able to make any friends yet.
I can't let Onii-chan be lonely for the next break as well.
Girl's Changing Room
I promised I would be there for the next break...
...but I forgot that we had PE.
Onii-chan, please forgive your incompetent sister.
Hey, Akiko-san.
Did you see the vampire TV series yesterday?
It's very interesting and popular right now.
I was looking at Onii-chan yesterday.
Onii-chan is so lovely.
I wouldn't get bored even if I looked at him all day long.
Ah, Onii-chan!
Akiko-san, you're off in your own world again.
She's always like that now that her brother has transferred over here.
But if you don't hurry up and change, you're going to be late.
Ah, you're right.
The weather is nice today.
What?
Don't you want to go on a picnic in such nice weather?
Excuse me, Nasuhara-san, but it's completely cloudy.
To think of how many times I've begged you in tears to call me Ana...
Why won't you listen to me?
Did you go that far?
So, Ana-san.
Hmm, you have some nerve to call a girl a "hole".
So it really did go that way.
Then, shall we go?
Huh?
Picnic.
Wait, what?
We still have school.
And no matter how you look at the weather, it looks like it's going to get worse.
It would be utterly inconceivable for you to turn me down after I went this far.
Huh?
When did you go "that far"?
I-It's not like I want to go on a picnic with you or anything, okay?
Wait a-
What's this all of a sudden?
This is what people call "tsundere".
Even though I really, really want to go on a picnic...
...I can't express it honestly.
I tried to be that kind of character.
A tsundere joke again?
Is that popular nowadays or something?
There are more people that can't be honest than you think.
People that have trouble voicing their own opinion and read too much into the atmosphere around them.
Japanese people overwhelmingly possess this trait.
You could even call tsundere a national disease.
I think you might be exaggerating.
By the way, I don't like your sister at all.
Even I understand you're not being tsundere there.
I-It's not like I like your little sister or anything, okay?
Even if you rephrase it like a tsundere, I don't feel any good intent.
This sneeze might be because Onii-chan is talking about me!
It has to be.
That's right.
I'll be going since the break is almost over.
I see.
See you then.
By the way, about the picnic, how's next weekend?
You're still on about that?
Well, if it's the weekend, I guess it's okay.
I see.
If you'd said no even after all this...
...I was thinking of replacing all your boxers with my used underwear.
I'm glad you saved me the trouble.
I guess that's fantastic, for both of us.
Girl's Changing Room
After changing, I have to head to a different classroom.
I can't see Onii-chan again.
People from long ago once said:
"It's when you're apart that your love grows."
Just a little more patience!
Akiko-san is a really interesting person.
Patience is good...
...but if you don't hurry up and change, you're going to be late.
I made some cookies in cooking class.
Could you try them for me?
Wow, these smell great.
Right away then.
How is it?
These are great.
You baked them just right.
Just the right level of sweetness.
I know exactly what tastes you prefer.
That's because I've been your best friend for six years.
Have you been able to get along with your classmates?
Huh?
I transferred into this school at the same time as you, so I'm curious.
I've been able to get involved with my class...
...so I'm wondering how it's going for you.
Well, um...
Not going well?
I guess not.
It's not that I'm being bullied, though.
I thought as much.
I can't just leave this be.
I got it.
I'll give you a hand.
It's fine.
This is something that will solve itself with time.
Why are you being so stubborn?
I'm not being stubborn.
It's just not as serious as you think it is.
I can't believe you want to avoid it this much.
You're not hiding anything from me, are you?
What?
I'm not hiding anything.
I wonder about that.
Moving from Kyoto to Tokyo...
...transferring into Saint Lillian Academy...
...and living with your little sister are all things you did behind my back.
How do you think I felt...
...when you left to go to your sister so suddenly?
Well, um... sorry about that. Truly.
It's far too late to apologise now.
Anyhow, I don't want to experience something like that again.
Like I said, I'm not hiding anything.
I thought we had already settled the matter about me transferring away in secret.
Be quiet-shut up-you stubborn fool.
I don't want to be called stubborn by you.
It's fine.
It's obvious that I'm stubborn by just looking at me.
On the other hand, you're the reverse.
On first glance you look like you're a flexible person, but you're actually really stubborn.
That's completely unjustified.
I'm just telling the truth.
In the first place, men like you are-
This conversation is over.
Class is starting, so I'm going.
Hold on, Gin.
The cookies were great. Thanks.
If you make them again, I'd like to eat more.
I like the part of you that's so straightforward.
The rest I hate!
It's finally lunch time.
Onii-chan, let's chat and get back the time together that we've lost.
What the heck?!
Student council room
Excuse me.
Huh?
She's not here.
I didn't think she was the kind of person who'd be late for a time she set herself.
Oh, so you do know me.
Um, I just heard a sound like the door being locked...
That's because I wanted to talk to you alone.
Assuming that's what you want to do...
...why did you lock the door?
Himenokouji Akito, will you be my man?
What?
Will you be my man?
Ah, no, I heard you properly.
Are you being serious?
Oh, of course not. It's a joke.
Thank goodness.
I'm relieved.
I'm kidding about the man part, but would you like to be my lover?
No, what you said hasn't really changed.
If anything, my status has diminished.
I'm kidding.
Your reactions are so interesting that I can't help but tease you.
Sorry.
Spare me.
I don't handle shocks like that well.
But if you want to be my sex slave that badly...
...I'll welcome you any time.
I'll give you good memories.
I'll pass.
Besides, my status dropped even further just now, didn't it?
Well, how would you like it if I became your sex slave, then?
Oh, nice reaction.
Your interest is on that side?
You've got it wrong.
I wonder if I have.
Shall we give it a test?
Onii-chan!
Oh dear, how did you get the lock open?
I am a student council member too.
I also have keys.
More importantly, President, what is the meaning of this?
Why have you called Onii-chan without telling me?
What's up with that?
He's the secretarial sub-assistant fill in.
In other words, my subordinate.
I can call him any time I want.
But lunch time is quality time for Onii-chan and me.
I have to cheer Onii-chan up with this body after leaving him so lonely during the breaks.
Um, I'd rather you didn't.
Who decided that Akito was lonely in the first place?
Akito was enjoying himself in the last break.
He was eating my handmade cookies and calmly chatting with me.
It wasn't really calm, though.
And in the break before that, while talking to me...
...he was fantasising about raping me.
No, I have no such fantasies!
What are you saying?
How could you do such enviable things while I couldn't see!
If that's the case...
...then holing up with Himenokouji Akito wasn't out of the ordinary.
You can't do that.
Onii-chan is lonely because he hasn't been able to make any friends after transferring to this school.
I have to cheer him up.
This is the duty of a little sister!
Well, I don't really care, Himenokouji Akiko.
Isn't the reason he has no friends because you keep taking up all his time during the breaks?
Well, I'm sure you knew that long ago...
...but you didn't want to hurt her feelings.
Er, well, um...
Onii-chan, is that true?
I see.
I'll limit myself to visiting you only one or two times.
I don't think that's really going to change anything.
For all the other times, I'll be watching from afar.
Please try your best to make some friends, Onii-chan!
I got it.
I'll do that, Akiko.
Himenokouji-kun, do you have a minute?
Sure, what's up?
We're planning on starting a Buddha statue appreciation club.
Buddha statue?
But we don't have enough people to get the school's approval.
Since you aren't in a club, would you like to join?
I see.
Thanks for inviting me, but I don't really have time.
Onii-chan, come on!
That's where you give them a positive response!
This is a rare chance for Onii-chan, who has no friends.
You have to make the best of it.
Well, uh...
I-If you're busy, you're busy.
S-Sorry, we'll invite you next time.
Why are you leaving?
Please be friends with Onii-chan!
I wish she could watch from a little more afar.
I have to cheer him on even more so he can focus on our love.

Akito-san.
Why are you calling me that?
Our relationship is still a little awkward, isn't it?
We're finally living together after being apart for six years...
...but we've only been able to spend a little bit of time together.
Well, I guess that's true.
I want to reduce the distance between us.
Since using first names is only done by people who are very close...
...can I try it?
It feels a little weird, but it makes sense.
Let's give it a try.
Thank you very much.
Then, Akito-san.
Hmm? What's wrong?
Nothing at all. I just wanted to try it.
I see.
Akito-san.
What?
I just wanted to try it.
Akito-san.
Maybe we should stop it, after all.
