nishikido is more my type. i surprised myself when i fell head-over-heels for ninomiya because of this and went on to watch almost all of his works. the plot takes some detours before moving onto the main plot. however, i only realized afterwards that, as the title states, the highlight is not the story itself but the emotional ties between the 3 siblings. it's interesting to observe the different emotions each siblings has toward the other two.
