*Warning: This review will have spoilers!*

Every great once in a while, I stumble across a VN that I want to read solely based on its title. I’ve read my fair share of incest stories, from Kana ~Imouto~ to a variety of random manga that I stumbled upon. I wouldn’t say I’m particularly into it, but rather I find the stories intriguing in a sense. Seeing that this was a short VN, I decided to pick it up.

My first impression of this VN was that it was gonna be Yet Another Incest Story in which the sisters would fall in love, tell everyone they know, and then everyone would accept this taboo without a single doubt. While I do appreciate fantasy in stories, I relish realism even more. I love when a writer can convey a realistic experience that I could see happening in the real world. Sisterly Bliss was able to do just that for me—in the good endings.

I’ll take a moment to first discuss the bad endings, both of which really threw me for a loop. These bad endings are obtained by having the feelings of one of the girls be entirely one-sided. In Ichika’s bad end, she goes full yandere and kills her parents because they would never accept their romantic relationship and forces Futaba into a BDSM petplay relationship, locking her up in their room with a chain. I found this interesting because I didn’t expect anything like this from what I thought to be just a silly yurige. And then in Futaba’s bad end, because she won’t accept that Ichika has rejected their relationship, she presents Ichika with a “special surprise”—a swift knife to the chest.

Alas, the good endings are much less interesting than the bad ends, but they still end on a good note. The girls have sex like crazy and the H scenes are pretty decent—my favorite one is where they have sex on an actual paddle boat and end up tipping it too much and getting literally wet.

And, contrary to my earlier concerns, they never end up telling anyone about their taboo relationship. At least, now here, not now, not in the story. I liked this! No matter how much they love each other, incest is still taboo and seen as weird and even disgusting to most people. It’s nice to see an incest story that finally acknowledges this reality (I’m looking at you, OreImo.)

All in all, I’d say this short VN (less than 4 hours) was worth the read. The art is adorable (though the anatomy in the H scenes can be a bit off on occasion) and the relationship between the two is sugary sweet. The twins are very loving and sweet, and it’s fun to experience the story through both of their eyes. I’d definitely recommend it on sale.
