Anime Eureka

 

 

    Please Twins! (おねがい☆ツインズ Onegai Tsuinzu?, Onegai ☆ Twins), is an anime television series, scripted by Yousuke Kuroda and produced by Bandai Visual, which was later adapted into a light novel and one-volume manga series. It centers around a family of three teenagers in high school all living together who are unsure which two of them are related to each other due to a reference from an old photograph. The Please Twins! anime series is a spin-off sequel to Please Teacher! that first aired in Japan on the WOWOW satellite television network on July 15, 2003 and finished with a total of 12 episodes plus a later OVA episode released on DVD. The series was later adapted into a light novel in 2004, which spanned a total of two volumes and, soon after, into a short one-tankobon manga version (authored by Japanese mangaka Arikan), which was serialized in MediaWorks’s Dengeki Daioh magazine in September 2005.

Plot

    Please Twins! is a story mainly revolving around three high school students: Maiku Kamishiro, Karen Onodera, and Miina Miyafuji. The three were drawn together by a photograph of their childhood home which later makes all of them seek out the house in the picture. However, the picture only has two children - a boy and a girl. Hence, only one of the girls, Karen or Miina, is related to Maiku. The only other identifying feature of the pair in the picture is that the boy and the girl have eyes of the same unusual color; a feature that furthers the ambiguity as all three of them have the same eye color.

    The main concern of the male lead, Maiku, is that he is in love with both of the girls, and he does not know which one is his twin. In addition, the two girls are in love with Maiku, forming a love triangle that can’t be resolved until the truth of their relationship is known. The three main characters, mostly the two female leads, are in a predicament of wanting to discover their past versus the risk of losing a romantic relationship.
The events of the story are set after Please Teacher! and characters from the series appear in supporting roles throughout Please Twins!.

COMMENT:

    I have also, once again, watched this series just 2 years ago and I really find it very interesting. I thought that they were really triplets but then the later part of the story states that there are only twins, which made the scene turn into a confusing stage. The critical part is, both of the girls have fallen in love with Maiku which made them cross their fingers and hopes that either of them is Maiku’s real twin sister. Thy even made a contract that neither of them should confess their feelings for Maiku until they find out who the real twin sister of Maiku is.

    Unfortunately, I didn’t like the ending since the real twin sister of Maiku turned out to be the person whom I wanted to be Maiku’s couple. I didn’t like the fact that it turned out that way, and I was hoping too much for it to happen. Too bad for me, I couldn’t do anything about it to change. Although the plot seems to be quite showing an incest affair,  I somehow find it funny where both girls changed their objectives from finding out who’s the real sister is to hoping the other one is the real twin sister of Maiku. Overall, its an interesting series, you’ll have fun and it’s quite exciting as well.
