Hey guys guess who’s risen from the dead. Have Akito being a good (?) father

[graincracket]

So I got a new OC. but he's a pokemon gijinka I decided to turn into a DR OC

This is Mizuto Kinshou! He prefers not to say his talent, which is a little suspicious, but honestly it's understandable. He insists he's a rather basic guy who doesn't do anything to stand out against the crowd. He's a mild mannered and gentle person, but the one thing that stands out about him besides his grandiose stature is his unwavering sense of justice.

but you may ask, what is this talent of his that he's so intent on keeping a secret? Well, he leads a double life- he's a dignified young man and swimming instructor by day, and by night he becomes..

IRUKAMAAAAAN!

Irukaman is Mizuto's secret identity as the Ultimate Masked Vigilante, think of a poor man's Batman. Irukaman is boisterous, prideful, but he's just as noble as Mizuto (perhaps even moreso!). Even if he saves people on the regular, the police don't exactly favor his help and are intent on finding out his true identity.

My Review of My Stepmom’s Daughter is my Ex

How…?!

How do I live with myself? It’s not easy. You have to throw away your shame and remind yourself that you’re only human, you survived worse, and that you are trash. I’m sure it’ll be tame like Marmalade Boy and at most there’ll be a kiss scene halfway down the…

She’s half-naked on the couch and he’s on top of her. I think this is faster than Domestic Girlfriend.

Mizuto Irido is in an unconventional predicament. His father remarried! That’s not the crazy part though. With the addition of a stepmother comes the addition of a step-sister. And that step-sister happens to be Mizuto’s ex-girlfriend from middle school, Yume Ayai (now Irido). Neither Mizuto nor Yume are digging this new setup. For starters, their prior relationship ended badly so neither one looks upon the other favorably. But both are going to put up a happy face to not upset their parents.

While they put up a happy face around their parents, everywhere else they get snippy with each other. And the biggest part is both of them claiming they are the older sibling. Kinda hard when both characters were born on the same day and year! But Mizuto and Yume both play mind games with each other to make the other feel inferior. Call it a poor-man’s Kaguya-sama! Okay, let’s see how these dysfunctional step-siblings mess with each other.

BETWEEN THE SUB AND THE DUB: This is currently airing on Crunchyroll. It’s been nearly a year and so far, no dub to come from it. I still enjoyed myself hearing people like Hiro Shimono and Miyu Tomita. Here’s what you might recognize these folks from.

*Mizuto is played by Hiro Shimono (known for Zenitsu on Demon Slayer, Connie on Attack on Titan, Dabi on My Hero Academia, Aoba on Durarara, Syo on UtaPri, Akihisa on Baka and Test, and Hiro on Ef: a tale of memories)

*Yume is played by Rina Hidaka (known for Filo on Shield Hero, Silica on SAO, Last Order on Railgun, Ririchiyo on Inu x Boku SS, Kohane on xxxHOLiC, Nemesis on To Love Ru, and Yamai on Komi-san)

SHIPPING: Mizuto and Yume had a prior relationship during their middle school years, but they broke things off and had quite the bitter resentment towards each other in the aftermath. Nowadays, it feels like they have a Kaguya-sama: Love is War mind game relationship, but they’re step-siblings instead of student council members. It’s not going to sound any crazier if I say it again. They have to act normal or concede defeat and be the little brother or sister in this relationship. But we do get some naughty moments between these two including unsettling scenes with the other’s undergarment.

Now what I didn’t see coming was with this friend of Yume’s, Minami. She loves Yume so much that she is willing to marry Mizuto so she can be closer to Yume. I am not sure what to make of this and I don’t feel I have the strength to deal with her. I’m just going to tell myself that Minami will end up with that other idiot in this series. I forget his name.

And then there’s Higashira! She posed a real threat to Yume, yet Yume ends up trying to help the girl out with getting closer to Mizuto and eventually confessing to him. Did it work out for Higashira? Fuck naw! Dude has other priorities in the love department and we all know what he wants.

Now, this series does show how the main duo fell in love and fell apart. They became a couple during their middle school years with some seemingly cute moments here and there. It’s just that when school, friends, and real life interfere, things took a turn for the worst for this relationship. And watching it, kinda made me feel annoyed. I’m not taking anyone’s side in this as I feel like both Yume and Mizuto are at fault for different reasons. But I’d like to chalk this up to both of these idiots were in middle school. They’re both hella immature at that age. Though, they both do stupid stuff during high school. Then again, it’s only been a year between both times.

ENDING: Before the ending, we caught a glimpse of what went down between Yume and Mizuto during their relationship. What happened and who was the first to mess up? Actually, it went south during their final year of middle school when both were placed in separate classes. After that, Yume made new friends and Mizuto was kinda resentful towards her. Then, Yume got jealous once when Mizuto talked to another female classmate. This was followed by months and months of the two not speaking to each other resulting in an agreement of breaking up. It was obvious that BOTH OF THEM regret not speaking up during that time. It becomes very obvious that’s how Yume was during a family reunion. They both have a momentary lapse of judgment and go back in time for a few minutes.

The final episode revolved around a summer festival. This is something Yume and Mizuto have history with as they were both together for one. We get constant flashbacks of their past fling and one flash that’s thrown at us several times is Yume crying alone because she got lost and Mizuto finds her. In this episode, it goes the other way around as Mizuto hides from his family and finds something solitary. Yume finds him and she kinda makes a decision. It looks like she wants to win Mizuto over as Yume Irido instead of her past self of Yume Ayai. Yeah, they kiss. They still act like they’re the older sibling and bicker. But is there something there? We probably will never know unless we get a second season.

This was something I wasn’t expecting. I came in thinking that this was going to be as trashy as Domestic Girlfriend. I come out feeling like I watched the first 13 episodes of Marmalade Boy if it was taking lessons from Kaguya-sama. As of now, both the manga and the light novel are still in publication so there’s still more to come from Yume and Mizuto. However, the manga, light novel, and anime were mostly seen as just an okay story. That’s how I’m at with this anime. It was okay. Had some good parts. Got annoyed seeing their middle school split-up. Okay, I’m starting to sound old and bitter here. Probably because I went through something similar at a younger age and look back upon it with a thick layer of cringe. That and I’m at that age where I see this and scream, “you damn youngins, get the fuck over it”. Or something like that! Decide for yourselves if you want to sit through this series or not. It’s a short series to get through.

If you would like to watch this step-sibling/past-love anime, Crunchyroll has all of the episodes available.

 I finished watching the anime My Stepmom's Daughter Is My Ex.It leaves me the impression of worth sof my time. While things had started with the two being hostile against one another, by First episode’s end it seems likely their former relationship maybe shouldn’t be former. If this is how things start, where do things go from here? It’s the maturity of their decision (to hide from their parents the animosity)that goes hand-hand with comedic situations.

See my old post a year ago abou it: https://ashitakaxsan.tumblr.com/post/682585936538796033/upcoming-anime-my-stepmoms-daughter-is-my-ex

  The supporting cast is pretty Good,each character is interesting:)

  Intelligent  and kind Yume is attempting to figure out the true reasons of their misunderstanding(that lead to their breakup),plus to understand why Mizuto is what and how he is.”If he’s not a bad person,nor toxic then  how  actually is he?”,I daresay this sums up Yume san’s pondering. So can things get mended between them?

"My Stepmom's Daughter Is My Ex" just finished its season, so I thought I would update you on the show!

As I and another anon mentioned, the premise is that two teenagers, Mizuto and Yume, dated in middle school and eventually broke up. Two weeks later, they learned their parents were getting married, making them become stepsiblings (at around age 15). For the sake of their parents' happiness, they try to hide the fact that they used to date and become normal siblings to each other--except of course they aren't really over each other.

Having watched all 12 episodes now, it's a fun show. It does suffer from some of the... usual anime nonsense (regular anime viewers will know what I mean), but it's enjoyable despite that. The MCs are human and flawed, with a fairly realistic examination of teenage relationships and breakups. The art style is cute, and the OP keeps getting stuck in my head.

At least several months pass during season one, so we get to see Yume and Mizuto go from "just became siblings" to having grown more used to living together. They still keep up their self-imposed challenge of "whoever doesn't act like a good sibling has to admit they're the younger sibling." (because again, they were born within the same hour on the same day. They're literally the joke of "near identical step-twins" which is ridiculous but also makes it easy to imagine, who knows, maybe they're actually half-siblings somehow. No canon proof for it, but it's funny even so.)

Plus, the fact that they call each other "my dear little brother" and "my dear little sister" to pester each other can be hilarious. Like, they're leaning into it and it's funny. They act like they hate the situation, but one or both of them is just gonna end up with an incest kink at this rate.

Both of them are smart people but also can be stupid when it comes to love/each other, in a way that feels fairly real to what I was like as a teenager. They're very similar people. They care for each other, but they make mistakes and hurt each other and bicker and misunderstand. And both of them have seen their parents struggle as single parents over the years, so they're intent on making sure their parents stay happy in a relationship with each other. Even if as a viewer, I get the feeling the parents wouldn't be too shocked to learn Mizuto/Yume had once dated, and have even made the "like a married couple" joke about them. Maybe they'd be supportive? Mizuto's cousin seems to ship them too.

(A note about Mizuto's cousins: Madoka is a bit older than him, and is affectionate toward him, even leading Yume to misunderstand and think Mizuto had a crush on Madoka as a kid, though he denies it. Meanwhile, Madoka's little brother Chikuma is a lot younger, and gets a puppy love type crush on his stepcousin Yume. Madoka and Chikuma seem quite close as siblings, though I don't find it shippable because he's so young. Still, their shy boy/energetic girl dynamic is fun.)

Throughout the season, we see the two trying to be over each other, but over and over again, it's clear they can't get over their feelings. To quote the show itself, those feelings are "etched into [their] soul." Even as they become more of a family, their romantic feelings won't go away. Heck, even when Mizuto's friend--who's honestly perfect for him--asks him out, he turns her down because he says he isn't able to be devoted to more than one person at once, and that spot is already taken. Even if he's currently annoyed at Yume and feels "she doesn't deserve it," that doesn't change how he cares about her.

Something I loved in the season finale was how Yume realizes that, because she's become Mizuto's stepsister, she's gotten to see a much more three-dimensional picture of what he's like as a person, which she never saw when she was "just his girlfriend." Even if it's caused them emotional turmoil, the story is framing them becoming a family as something that has improved their relationship by making them see each other more clearly.

And when Yume kisses him in the finale, it's "not as Ayai Yume [her name before the marriage] but as Irido Yume [her name after becoming part of his family]." She thinks how she wants to steal "Ayai Yume's" place in Mizuto's heart, as in she wants him to love the person she is now (his stepsister!) instead of the person she was before ("just" his girlfriend).

I don't think they're together together (yet) after the kiss, because gotta leave room for a potential second season after all, but still, it's even more canon now than it already was.

So yeah, pretty good show in general, and especially if you like stepsibling ships and bickering siblings who overthink everything (lol)

--

Great write-up! I loved all the details. I really like how they're learning about different sides of each other as stepsiblings. And the "my dear little brother/sister" thing is so funny.

Thank you!
