Please Twins Volume 2: Sibling Rivalry (DVD)

Twin eyes for the queer guy?

If Maiku is a healthy teenage boy. Why doesn’t he show any interest in girls? Especially when there are two young girls living with him. Could it be that Maiku is actually gay? It’s up to Miina and Karen to flaunt their nubile bodies in front of him to test this theory. But they both may be starting to develop feelings for Maiku that may not be right considering that one of them may be his sister. To prevent this from any further, Miina and Karen form a “love alliance” to not make any advances toward Maiku and to prevent other girls from getting too close to him. This alliance will be put to the test when the three of them win a free trip to a tropical island and some unexpected company shows up.

Please Twins continues in the same region as Please Teacher, however, the story does not focus on the relationship between Kei and Mizuho, but instead on the love triangle between Maiku with Miina and Karen (it’s more of a love trapezoid, but we’ll keep it simple). Maiku is a young high school student who is working as a computer programmer to be able to afford the rent on a small house in town. This house is the only link to his past, as he has a picture of himself and a young girl in front of the house. Now arriving are Karen and Miina, who also have copies of the same picture and believe themselves to be the girl in the picture and that the boy must be their only family. Agreeing to let the girls live with him, Maiku struggles to maintain his lifestyle with two girls thrust on him.

Episode 05: Do You Like Girls?

Miina and Karen are finally starting high school, and Maiku continues to worry endlessly about potential problems. The cute pair quickly make friends in class and are immediately sought out by a group of girls to ask about the relationship with Maiku and Kousei (the guy who glomps on Maiku and receives repeated punches for his troubles). After meeting Kousei and watching how Maiku deftly avoids being trapped by the females on campus, Miina and Karen decide to test whether Maiku is gay by themselves. With a steady diet of sexual teasing, Maiku may be able to keep his outward calm but his mind is reaching a hearty boil and the tension is starting to make him punchy. Things are only going to get more complicated now that the girls decide to up the stakes…

Episode 06: Love Alliance

Now that Maiku has been kissed by Miina and Karen on separate occasions, the tension in the house is stifling with the possibility of who may be Maiku’s relative. Each person goes out on their own to try and make heads or tails of their feelings, especially the girls were are suffering between the possibility or either having a true family or having a lover and having to leave the house. This tears at Miina and Karen who both decide that they are in love with

Maiku and develop a “love alliance” between themselves. The alliance forbids either girl from going out solely with Maiku, and states that one of them knows that they are family with him, they will step back and support the other girl’s love. Oh yes, the most important part. The love alliance dictates that they must try to stop any other advances against Maiku.

Episode 07: Making Memories

The threesome get a touch of luck when they win a free trip from a

supermarket raffle and they get to go visit the beach in Okinawa (site of the hi-jinks from Please Teacher). Although the three get to relax initially, things become a free-for-all with Kousei, the student council, and Mizuho-sensei all making appearances and turning the quiet little vacation into anything but. With competition in sight (both male and female) Miina and Karen are put into overdrive trying to protect Maiku, and things only get more intense when Maiku decides that he wants to join everyone for a beach-side barbeque instead of spending time alone with the girls.

Please Twins is a ridiculously cute series and one of my favorites. The disc passes by rather quickly and I find myself checking for the next release… almost like my next fix.
