This time last year, I was sampling the dubious delights of Please Teacher. The premise was a prurient, if far-fetched one. An eighteen-year-old boy, trapped in the body of a fifteen-year-old, winds up somehow married to his alien schoolteacher, and then they fall in love. The words 'only in Japan' will probably spring to most minds, but Please Teacher, despite what it said on the tin, turned out to be a charming romantic comedy, which while it crossed certain moral lines, certainly wasn't offensive. In fact, I wound up enjoying it greatly, so much so in fact that this year I've gone and ordered the sequel, Please Twins. You've probably already twigged just what taboo will be shattered here. Three orphans, a boy and two girls, with a photograph of a boy and a girl in a paddling pool the only thing linking them, one of the girls is the boy's long lost twin sister, the other is the girl who he may just fall in love with. Now it's a question of figuring out which is which…
Please Twins is set in the same town as Please Teacher, a couple of years after Kei Kusanagi's first meeting with Mizuho Kazami, but this series focuses on three new characters. Maiku Kamishiro is an orphan who saw a house that he recognised in a news report about a certain UFO. That house is also in a photo that he owns, showing him as a toddler in a paddling pool with a little girl, apparently his twin sister. That's all that he owns of his past, so to learn more, he moves to that town and starts high school there, even renting that old house in the photo and supporting himself by working as a computer programmer. He may even have been hoping to find that long lost twin sister; it's just that he wasn't expecting two girls to show up, looking for their twin brother. Both Miina Miyafuji and Karen Onodera are also orphans, whose sole memories of their childhood amount to copies of that same photograph. But only one of them can actually be his sister, right? Please Twins also features the odd cameo from Please Teacher, while some characters like Mizuho and Ichigo return for prominent roles.
An Unnamed Anime Blog
Maiku Kamishiro is a high school student, but a student with a difference. He lives alone, and works as a computer programmer to support himself, and rides a scooter to school (against the rules). He's only just finished doing up the house he is renting, after seeing it in a news report about a UFO and recognising it as the house in the sole photo he has from his childhood. In it, the house is in the background, while he's in a paddling pool with a little girl. He's only just settled in, but his life is about to change once more when one day he is late for school. On the way his eyes happen to meet those of a girl on a train, who shares the same, rare eye colour as his. Then he hears another girl calling for help, a hitchhiker being assaulted by a perverted driver. She's already extricated herself by the time he gets there, so all he can do is lecture her about being so careless, before noticing she too has the same colour eyes as him. Their second meeting is when she knocks on his front door, looking for her long lost twin brother. Her name is Miina Miyafuji, and she's all ready to make herself at home. Except the doorbell rings again. This time it's the girl from the train, Karen Onodera, and she's looking for her long lost twin brother…
It turns out that Karen is a sensitive girl who tends to faint at the slightest provocation. Seeing her potential brother is just a towel, and Miina in just a t-shirt is enough to send her into the world of nod. It doesn't help the next morning when after a particularly worrying nightmare, she wakes up next to Miina. There's just the one futon in the house, which is why the girls wind up sharing. Maiku has strict instructions while he tries to figure things out. He goes to school, and the girls stay home, where they don't go out, they don't answer the phone, and just wait patiently. So they follow him to school…
Now it's Miina having the strange dreams about Maiku, the sort of dreams that make her hope that they aren't related by blood. Maiku has some more instructions. If the girls are going to stay in the house, they'll have to earn their keep, which means doing the housework while he earns his keep as a programmer at the PC. It's the worst time for his sempai Tsubaki Oribe to visit. She brings a caseload of jealousy with her, and soon she and Miina are competing in the kitchen for Maiku's affections. Which is when Karen's uncle phones with some bad news, and she winds up needing a shoulder to cry on… or rather a lap.
Review: Ouran High School Host Club
Miina and Karen decide that just doing housework isn't enough to pull their weight, they'll need to get part time jobs, not easy during a recession. When Miina finds a vacancy at Maiku's school for an office assistant, they will have to be creative with their applications to even get a foot in the door. Only at the school, the interview falls apart before they even get started when it turns out that it's Miss Mizuho who will be interviewing them. Then they overhear Maiku talking with Tsubaki and they get the wrong end of the stick.
Now the girls have evening jobs at a grocery, it means that they can attend high school as well, but the problem is that some of the girls in their class have an odd interest in Maiku, or rather an interest in Maiku and his overbearing friend Shimazaki, imagining a whole fantasy passion in their antagonistic friendship. Could Maiku be gay? Karen is determined to reawaken his masculinity, and she ropes Miina into her plan. Only they take things too far.
Two kisses later, and we're left with two very confused girls, and one very nonplussed boy. It isn't made easier by them being suspended from school for three days, and having to spend that time in close proximity. While Maiku tries to figure things out himself, and steel himself for the down to earth talk with them that is inevitable, Miina and Karen get the jump on him by establishing a few ground rules of their own.
Please Twins! Dvd 1
They win a prize draw, and rather than sell the prize for a profit as Maiku was thinking, the girls insist on taking the trip to Okinawa and soaking up some sun on a sandy beach, and making some memories into the process. The trouble is that everyone else has turned up as well. Shimazaki and Tsubaki are both competing over Maiku's attention, while Shidou has brought his own obsession with his kid sister with him. And Miss Mizuho is there to celebrate her second wedding anniversary to Kei. If that isn't enough, Karen has booked a room with just two beds…
It's become a habit for Maiku, Miina and Karen to eat their lunches together. It's also become a habit for the whole school to stop and stare. It's time for the student president Ichigo Morino and vice president Tsubaki Oribe to nip the scandal in the bud. So Maiku is employed by the student council to help with the forthcoming Ball Game Festival, which means him spending a lot of time alone in an office with Tsubaki. Miina and Karen have a problem, Tsubaki is breaking rule #1, and they can't get close to do anything about it. Fortunately they have a spy on the inside.
Typical! All that planning and the Festival is rained off. But then the rain lifts to reveal a sunny day. What better for Maiku, Miina and Karen to do than to spend the day at the mall? The three of then together is fine, but when events conspire to leave first Miina and Maiku together, and then Karen and Maiku together, there's just too much temptation for comfort. If that isn't enough, all three get lost in the shopping district. Then there is a face from Miina's past, jogging past them on the way home.

Maiku and Karen are worried about Miina. Ever since she ran into her friend Yuka from back home, she's been out of sorts and distracted. She's keeping to herself more and more, and Maiku realises that she has never
