Gimai Seikatsu

Attachment 2113

"* Based on a love comedy light novel series written by Mikawa Ghost and illustrated by Hiten.

From classmates to brother and sister, living under the same roof.

After his father's remarriage, Asamura Yuuta ends up getting a new stepsister, coincidentally the number one beauty of the school year, Ayase Saki. Having learned important values when it comes to man-woman relationships through the previous ones of their parents, they promise each other not to be too close, not to be too opposing, and to merely keep a vague and comfortable distance. On one hand, Saki, who has worked in solitude for the sake of her family, doesn't know how to properly rely on others, whereas Yuuta is unsure of how to really treat her. Standing on fairly equal ground, these two slowly learn the comfortable sensation of living together.

Probably the most aggressively boring show I've sampled this season so far. The burn is so slow, you could still return the candle for a full refund, and I would recommend that unless you are starving for a subdued stepsibling will they/won't they romance. The production/animation is good enough and the character designs are crisp, but Saki is very unlikable in that "r/iamverysmart" kind of cynical way where she puts up walls around herself to keep others uninvolved, yet wants the validation of proving others are wrong for judging her (and her mother) by her looks? Only in teen fiction... Yuuta (and his dad) are better, as was work senpai, but not enough to save this from becoming an angsty slog. Not for me.
