Well...it might not be the best of shows to watch, but i find Futakoi and Futakoi Alternative very interesting. Twins falling in love to the same guy is quite troublesome, multiply it with a few more twins and you'll get a headache of epic proportions. Harem made of twins? not bad =)
Nozumu Futami who happens to be the center of attention for these delicate ladies, is the type of guy that is unsure of his own feelings. He likes the Ichijo twins because they are his childhood friends and find the Sakuratsuki twins innocent and very kind. These set of twins fell in love with him and wanted him to choose between them. Not knowing what to do, he tries his best not to hurt anyone and keeps his emotions in check...to the best of his abilities.
Sumireko Ichijo and Kaoruko Ichijo are Nozumu's childhood friends and they are very close to him. Both of these twins harbor the same feelings for Nozumu and envies each other for the qualities that they don't possess. Kaoroku is a straightforward girl who likes to say what she wants to say and Sumireko is the one that likes to think things through, before doing any move of her own. In the story, it is believed that Nozumu has affection for Kaoroku but no concrete feelings has been delivered even at the end of the anime.
Yura and Kira Sakaratsuki are very rich girls who are doing their best to complete their father's test for them. Their dad wants them to experience what it's like to live as normal girls from time to time and issued a test for them to fulfill (ex: going to the store to buy something, without any assistance from anyone). They are innocent and doesn't know anything about the outside world. They became attached to Nozumu and even go out of their way to make their feelings known to him.
Well, there are a lot of other twins in the story but the story revolves around these 5. The Sakaratsuki's Butler tried to forcefully make the twins transfer, to save them from a broken heart. Nozumu did his best to convince him otherwise and that led to a chase. The ending was not quite fulfilling, but it will pass as a standard ending with both twins accepting each other as rivals for Nozumu's affection.
Now...Futakoi ALternative...is completely on a different level.
The opening song was extreme....the first episode was chaotic and if you watched Futakoi, then you would have expected something "mild and happy" to complete the setup. Actually, it took me at least 4-5 episodes to understand the story because it completely "blew me away". You will see here the same twins that are seen in the Futakoi (first anime) and the only difference is the protagonist and the main heroines this time is the "Shoujyu and Sara Twins".
In the first anime Shoujyu was the girl who was very good in drawing but has a weak body. Sara on the other hand hasn't changed her mindset from the first and it probably got even "wilder and more straightforward" so to speak.
The story is about Rentarou Futaba (called Nidaime in his neighborhood) and he runs a detective agency (which occasionally gets no customers at all). Shoujyu and Sara where his assistants and together they try to solve their cases (if they have one), one step at a time.
These two is a mystery even to Rentarou and he only found out about them, before their 16th birthday. One of them has to marry the son of their benefactor (Kimihiko) and they doesn't like the idea (but they have no choice but to accept it). In the end, Sara decided to save her sister from their fate and insisted that she be the one to marry Kimihiko.
Heartbroken and lost, Shoujyu and Rentarou spent their lives living idly. Those fleeting days changed when their detective agency was burned down (Due to Ika Fire...A squid that shoots fireballs and missiles...yeah a rare pokemon so to speak :)) ) and that is where Rentarou finally realized his own feelings. He decided to stop the wedding and together with Shoujyu travelled to Germany to save Sara. It has a very cute ending and i recommend this(wild and chaotic) anime for anyone that has a lot of "patience" and broad "understanding" in the way stupid people do stupid things.
Hope you enjoyed the first week of May and may the rest of your days be fruitful and happy as well.
Till then...
Keep the Flames Burning!
