What Is The Shiunji Family Children About?

As for what the anime is about, Kadokawa begins to tease The Shiunji Family Children as such, “The Shiunji family has a mansion in a high-end residential area in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo. The seven siblings who live here are known for their intelligence and beauty, and the five sisters who are born one year apart are all known for being beautiful girls. Living under the same roof with the beautiful sisters that everyone envies. However, the eldest son, Arata, is bossed around by the five unique sisters and is hesitant to be around girls other than his sisters.”

The synopsis continues with, “Although he cherishes his family, Arata fantasizes about a different life without the five sisters… ‘Actually, you are not real brothers and sisters.’ One day, his father tells him a shocking truth, and his fate changes! The family bond that he believed would never change begins to show signs of change. Will this love lead to family, siblings, or something else? A forbidden x pure love love comedy about a troubled family connected by fate begins!”

It’s quite a different kind of romance, so it’s going to be interesting how anime fans receive this one when the anime premieres in April. But how are you liking The Shiunji Family Children so far? Let us know all of your thoughts about it in the comments!
