The Shirokuma Cafe site became Penguin Cafe. (Penguin Cafe is a special drama CD included with the Animate exclusive Blu-ray release.)

I know that Sister's Complex one is a spoof, but man I'm curious what a harem series would be like if the MC is a bishie and all the girls are in that style.

According to this article,

Quote:
Brothers Conflict follows the main character, a 17 year-old girl, who happened to become a sister to 13 handsome brothers with very different personalities by her father's re-marriage and her daily life of cultivating relationships, both the healthy and forbidden kind with them.


So in Sisters Conflict, the MC is a 17 year olf bishie with 13 beautiful step-sisters. Anime hyper

You know what? They should really make Sisters Conflict for real. I would buy it in an instant!

The way ANN words it really manages to give the impression while being thoroughly ambiguous, doesn't it? Pulling it through Google's translator, I get this:

Translation is pretty incorrect, but yeah... Both Tweets say "I have a report to make to everyone today. I got married." As I remember.

And as usual the post is private and no one can see it. Well, at least 2 women from Lucky Star getting married probably got fans crazy.
