Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru! discussion thread

[Damius]

- Let’s call it a skirt competition! Konoe won that one.
- Date at the amusement park!
- Rinka in a bikini! Awesome!
- Rinka is a really good shooter…
- And here it is…boobs grab…in addition way too long…
- So Rinka was the one who spoke on the intercom.
- How to save Rinka? Shougo suggests they should pretend to be lovers!
- Ok…Rinka wants to make it real. She had to get half naked to ask! I won’t complain.
- Shiga doesn’t have a good timing.
- Miyabi and Konone just learned it and…

So there's some conspiracy involving Seri, Yuzurina might not be IMOUTO, but is definitely EVIL.

Also, you will never hold a naked, crying Miyabi.

And thats terrible.

I think that's pretty much a sure thing, unless she's out for revenge because she was abandoned by her father.

There were so many tells in the latter half of this episode that I"m going to be pissed if they don't follow through.
Not really a spoiler since I don't know but here's my take:

Miyabi is the imouto and Konoe is going to be the wife.

Key was Miyabi pleading that he not leave her and him promising. Add that to the way Mei was reacting (she supposedly knows who the imouto is) and I'm pretty sure it's her.
Konoe is the obvious choice. They've almost kissed, and they blush each time they get near each other.

All according to plan! Yuzurina's looking rather evil there at the end...

And Mei sure was rather concerned and protective of Miyabi.... which Yuzurina pointed out immediately after I started to make the connection.

So Yuzurina is part of some evil plot with the secretary. Yay.

Rest of the episode besides seeing the girls in their formal gowns was boring.

I think Shogo should just go out with Tendou unless he can choose harem ending.

Drunk, naked Miyabi best part! Ended up as a rather touching scene, all things considered.

Miyabi is clearly the real imouto. That's why she refused the DNA test, has been downcast since Yuzurina's came back positive, and why Mei was worried about her at the party. Now we just need to get Shogo to accept that imouto ending is best ending.

Yuzurina, of course, was too perfectly imouto to be the real imouto. And, as I suspect during the pool scene, she was up to something.

Episode 9:

- IMOUTO GET! Maybe. If so, Shougo, your sister is very clearly Onjouji Toki. Except, a bizarro heterosexual Toki.
- She got added to the OP.

- Yuzu can smell women! She pays lip service to thinking of him as a brother not a lover, but whether that's how she really feels...
- ...Well yeah doesn't take long for her to show a devious side. Just as Shougo has to decide which one girl he'll take to a party.

- Kurumi's butt~
- Jeeze Yuzurina is wasting no time messing with everyone.
- And saying very troublesome things with a cute face. Oh Yuzu.
- They've really given Rinka's a character lobotomy, haven't they? Oh well, there are others.

- "Dessert desu." There you go, a new pick-up line. I'm sure it'll work great.
- Ahahah this did not go nearly as well as she planned in her head.
- And the apartment has walls thinner than tissue paper, apparently.
- HAHAHAH, nice nosebleed, Yuzu.
- Uh that came out of nowhere. Shougo suddenly agrees to go in for a kiss? Of course Miyabi sees it. Poor Miyabi.

- Real imouto confirmed! Well. Again, maybe. The lady doing the DNA tests is obviously planning something too, so she can forge the documents.

This show is such dumb fun.

Oh yeah, this too. Mom's assistant lady's reaction was enough to doubt the results of the test, but the Mei thing just makes me wonder if the show has completely ignored that plot point. I can't think of any plausible explanation for Mei not bringing it up in the storage room scene either to confirm or deny. Unless the answer is no, and Mei is keeping quiet because outing Yuzu would put the search back on for the real imouto.

But odds are it's just convenient amnesia for the writers.

I think by weakest that's what he meant, least exciting. I'm obviously on team Miyabi, which isn't the least bit surprising. But Konoe is the genre-convention-defined favorite for sure.

Hi-fives! So far, it looks like it's just the two of us.
