Comments:
It is established from the beginning that the siblings are not blood-related, similar to a relatively recent otome game Brothers Conflict. The siblings have been staying together for a month and the sister experiences doki-doki feelings (heart thumping excitement) every day surrounded by her handsome brothers. The production quality of the short anime is pretty good. Typical, cliched shoujo/otome settings but cute, if only the setting isn’t brother-sister.

LOLOLOL I liked Kamenashi Katsuya in 2D and 3D, as for the other boys… Sorry, your 2D counterparts look better xDDDDDDDDDD. Must be Kurahana Chinatsu’s magic *-*.
Bitch, please XDDDDD.
@Asamisa: Definitely sensei’s magic. I like Kamenashi Katsuya cos of a few J-dramas I watched a long way back. Not very familiar with the other guys tho.
LOLOL I’m not familiar with J- and K-dramas, since I’m lazy to look for them, but I have watched Coffee Prince :DDDDD
Her hands are magical, and everytime she takes a pencil, it transforms in a wand that makes everything beautiful *-*
@Asamisa: Sounds like magical girl anime lol~
Why do I prefer them in 2D? XD
My fav is still Junnosuke in whatever dimension though.
@Mayon: Lol~ same here… that’s why this boyband is trying to attract us by becoming 2D
I find that Junnosuke 2/D3D has very nice expression in his eyes especially.
…this should be interesting…
@iced_wine: Its only a short anime (Total less than 5 minutes) but we never know. Might become popular enough for an OVA or something.
I think I fainted from happiness….
I wish this was longer, but I’m so happy it’s all good for now. T_T
@Ariel: You’re a big fan of KAT-TUN? :D well, never say never. They might make a longer series if it is popular enough.
Even thought I had no idea what they were saying but it was cute none the less. I love to have a house of cute boys. :oD
I never hear of the band Kattun *sorry*
@TatsukiHoneyBunny: The animation was really well done and cute. They’re quite a popular band in Japan and in Asia.
Oh my, they even look as hot in real life! （ノ´д｀）ノ
@Liru: Yeah they do :D
DDDDD::::::::

thank god the female char isn’t annoying.
@Shirokaze: You’re a fan? I guess anime is too short for her to become annoying… which is a good thing of course.
