The manga centers on the everyday lives of two twin sisters both named Alice, and their brother who is slightly attracted to them.


Oh. Now I have to watch this. Good advertising.

So it's a reverse Kiss x Sis (in terms of attraction).

There are twins in everything recently, aren't there?

This season and last season both have a show with teammates who are secretly twins. (Fraternal twins in spoiler[StarMyu], but apparently identical ones in spoiler[Princess Principal]). Plus MG4 this past winter, and TsukiPro's Quell next season (though those characters have been around a lot longer).

No... the opposite of Kiss x Sis would be if they all hated each other. This is more the opposite of Please Twins- fraternal brother sister versus identical sister sister.

Of course, the biggest difference is they're all related in Alice or Alice.... twin girls with the same name... really.

It's sad that I can see some promise in a premise of a guy falling in love with one girl only to meet a girl with the same name the same day but this is not it, not even close...

By that argument, Please Twins would be about two girls who both hate the same guy, and they're both hoping to be a blood relative so they can get out of going out with him.

To each his own I suppose. I for one have been loving all these recent announcements especial with how meh the summer anime season was for me. (With the exception of Tenshi No 3P the only show I'm watching still)

I see what you did there. Still, the girls here are pretty cute and I wouldn't go into this expecting much else, so I'll probably enjoy it.

Indeed. If boy was their cousin, then I wouldn't really as much of an issue in considering watch this.

So, if they're both named Alice, what do they do when someone calls for an Alice? It doesn't sound like that smart a decision when you conceive identical twins and give them both the same name.

I love those statements put together.

I guess twins will be the next fetish then, after that brief mother fetish? I wonder what'll come after this. Twincest itself?
