On September 21, the final episode of the anime adaptation of the light novels Mamahaha no Tsurego ga Motokano datta ( My Stepmom's Daughter Is My Ex ) aired. Both the light novels and the manga adaptation are unpopular according to MyAnimeList data , so the development was a surprise to all viewers.
As viewers already know, the story centers on two ex-high school sweethearts whose parents get married, making them step-siblings. Although they promise each other at first that they will keep their past out of their relationship, this last episode showed that Yume, the girl, decided to break the promise and promise Mizuto, her now stepbrother, that she would make him fall in love again.
« This second first kiss of my life is my declaration of war. I… Yume Irido… I will chase you and make you my boyfriend », The girl commented in her final episode. This is a “ northern ending ”, for the fact that she identified herself as “Yume Irido”, that is, knowing that she is Mizuto's step-sister, she still decides to establish a romantic interest for him.
Sinopsis de Mamahaha no Tsurego ga Motokano Datta
Mizuto Irido, a happy-go-lucky geek, and Yume Ayai, an introverted nerd, seemed like a perfect couple, connected by their mutual love of literature. Unfortunately, their differences gradually increased and they parted ways just after their high school graduation. But, as if it were a divine comedy, the two find themselves reunited as stepbrothers.
A rivalry begins to arise between the old couple, both reluctant to acknowledge the other as the older brother. In an attempt to "solve" this problem, Mizuto and Yume agree on a rule: whoever oversteps the boundaries of the brotherhood rules loses, and the winner will not only be called big brother, but will also be able to make a request. However, now that they live under the same roof, the memories they share begin to influence their actions, possibly rekindling feelings that haven't quite died out.
