Me: Ikuhara’s “incestuous” pairings are not really meant to be taken literally, a lot of his work is about the way people struggle and fail to bridge the chasm between the self and the other and the sibling represents the impossible fantasy of the fated lover who understands you utterly and effortlessly because they literally share your blood. If you have ever fantasized about having an identical twin it’s essentially the same thing, it’s an unreal level of intimacy that transcends sexuality. Ultimately, the family unit is usually portrayed as a mirage or a dead end that can never really save its participants from their isolation
Me ten minutes later when I’m watching AMVs: They should let himari marry both of her brothers and Kanba should be double married to his biological twin natsume
