Koikaze 3

Created/Updated 2004-04-22



Koikaze is about an older brother and a younger sister whose parents are separated. The younger sister, Nanoka, lives with the mother and the older brother, Koushirou, lives with the father. Nanoka ends up attending a high school close to the father's place, so she moves in with the father.

The jist of the story is that Nanoka falls in love(?) with her brother. Now, don't go off thinking weird things. This isn't Sakura Tsuushin we're talking about here. Nothing happens between the two. In fact, nothing really interesting happens, period. Somehow, though, it's not as boring as it should be from the little content it has. The keyword here is "innocence."

I usually don't write details about what happens, but I don't think that knowing the conclusion will affect the enjoyment of this manga. Just about none of my readers will read it anyway.

So, in the end, both acknowledge their love(?) for each other. Nanoka is truly innocent about it, but Koushirou is not a child any more. Unlike Touma (Sakura Tsuushin), Koushirou does the right thing. He decides to move out of his father's place and start living by himself. It's about time for him to get on with his life anyway. As a final request, Nanoka asks him for a kiss. Koushirou kisses her on the forehead. It's a sweet little scene.

They both walk away from each other and that's the end. Actually, Nanoka runs away with tears in her eyes, but the end result is the same. If the story were to continue into the future, I bet they'll reminisce about the whole thing with fond memories and nothing more.

***Update**

Apparently, there is a volume 4! And it looks pretty bad from what I can gather. I'm going to pretend I never saw that and move along. As far as I'm concerned, it ended with this volume and it was a good ending.
