The Shiunji Family Children
Anime Info
Synopsis
The Shiunji family lives in a mansion in Tokyo's upscale Setagaya district, and their seven siblings are known for being as talented as they are good-looking — especially the five sisters, who are all considered stunning beauties. Living under one roof with them, eldest son Shin has spent his whole life getting pulled in every direction by his sisters' distinct personalities, while staying awkward around any girl who isn't family.
Then, at his youngest sister's birthday party, their father drops a bombshell: they aren't actually all related by blood. What everyone believed was an unshakable family bond suddenly starts to shift into something else entirely — and feelings that were always simmering under the surface begin to surface.
Where this "forbidden × pure love" ends up — as family, as siblings, or as something more — is the question at the heart of this fate-driven romantic comedy.

Our Review
This one leans hard into its "forbidden but not really" premise — seven siblings who suddenly find out they're not blood-related opens the door for every kind of romantic tension, and the show doesn't shy away from any of it. If you're here for the drama and the will-they-won't-they, there's plenty.
Doga Kobo's animation is clean and expressive as always, and the large cast is handled better than you'd expect — each sibling gets enough screen time to feel like an actual character rather than just a type.
It's a solid pick if you enjoy harem-adjacent romantic comedies with a slightly more grounded, family-drama edge to them. Just go in knowing the "family" framing is very much part of the appeal, not incidental to it. — DIDARUL ISLAM [Chief Editor]
