If they could have it uncensored and if the story involved it not being a stepsister, then I'd watch it. I like fan service/harem shows but am not a fan of when it has to be family members (including step-relatives).

Men this series got boring for me fairly quickly. Might give it another shot but I guess I'll give it another shot. So far CR not making any impressive acquisitions.

What is with everyone thinking that this will be incest? No one ever read anything about the series or something? They are not related WHATSOEVER so no incest. Also, as far as the series is concern, I think it'll be ecchi but there will be nothing show but maybe it could be different from the manga.

Even if it's not incest, such shows are not for me because they are family by marriage (though that's not incest, it could pseudo incest).

They are not even step-siblings. God, whatever xD, just get your info straight bro.

As long as it is uncensored, it's all right with me

Animelover12313, even the article description mentions about the lead chick being the lead guy's step-sister.

given she's a demon and her sister a succubus, I'm guessing magical memory manipulation shenanigans happened

Its due to attempted (failed) memory manipulation rather than marriage.

So no incest on their part. Outsiders (other than those in the household) will see it as incest.

@ Kadmos1:

I read the first couple of chapters of the manga and she begins crushing on him pretty much immediately, so if it's anything similar in the novel, it's hard to call it even pseudoincest. And even if it's not, the ball gets rolling right away on the plot anyway, so unless it slowed the hell down after I stopped reading, they'd never have any time to bond to make it anything but incest on paper.

@Kadmos1

A lot of anime shows lately have tried to hint at incest. They probably feel it makes them edgier with the target audience.

In this case:
There is no blood relationship, so no incest there.
They have not lived together, so no family bond and no pseudo incest there if that bothers you.
As of the end of the first episode no one is shown to have had sex with anyone else. Given the way these shows go they probably will not actually consummate any relationship. Regardless of who wants to do who, if they don't actually establish a sexual relationship there is not incest.

As getchman points out, neither of the girls is actually human. They are not dumb beasts so it can't be bestiality. Does the language actually have a word for sex with mythological creatures?

TLDR: There is no incest, that is just a more or less fraudulent teaser.
