Japan and their animu throws wincest into the plot too often. Really, is it really that hard to make a character a-friend-who-likes-the-lead-character rather than a-relative-who-likes-the-lead-character? That's what turned me off from Akaneiro ni Somaru Saka, Kanon, and Elfen Lied. They were great series minus the incest.

There are other characters aside from your sibling, you know. You can go on their paths instead, you're not forced into the sibling path. You're thinking of this as an anime, but it's not. It's not a kinetic novel either, so you have choices.

Elfin Lied had a relationship between cousins, which is acceptable (though looked down on) in many countries.
