Never thought I would ever be able to describe incest as wholesome, good job, author! I personally never had an issue with incest manags - it's fantasy who cares, just makes it more spicy. But there's always some creepy, rapey subtext that makes the whole story just a bit darker. I felt like that author really gave her characters time to develop their feelings and give consent in an organic way where it wasn't incest for shock value.
The only thing I wish we had an explanation for is why they didn't see each other for 7 years. Like is this common in Japanese divorce to just go full on Parent Trap style and pretend their other children never existed?? At least if one of them had moved abroad it would make a little more sense... Anyway, this was a great surprise, thoroughly enjoyed it!
