When school girl Mitsuki's mother remarries she finds herself with a new step brother named Yuya; then a new posting sees the adults going oversees leaving the two step siblings living alone together. She doesn't really get on with Yuya so is not too happy. Then one day something strange happens; she meets the ghost of a girl called Hiyori and her life changes in some rather disturbing ways. Hiyori puts a chastity belt on Mitsuki and tells her they will both die if the gauge on it becomes depleted
the only way to prevent this is to get in sexual situations involving Yuya
something that naturally horrifies Mitsuki! She can't remove the belt and is terrified that somebody will find out about it and think she is a pervert and to make matters even worse Hiyori frequently possesses her and puts her in awkward positions. Yuya is rather confused as well; on minute his new step sister is being disturbingly forward the next she is standoffish.
Every season it seems there is at least one controversial anime series and this season it was 'Recently, My Sister is Unusual'; even with the censoring of views of Mitsuki's chastity belt (possibly only in the TV version) it had plenty of awkward moments; some of which were more amusing than shocking. The fact that it involved step siblings just made it even weirder. Thankfully it wasn't all like that and much of the show was actually quite funny. The animation was good enough; of a similar standard to most current anime shows. Overall it isn't a terrible series; certainly not as bad as the plot synopsis might suggest but it isn't a must see by any stretch of the imagination if you want something weird and aren't too easily shocked it isn't too bad though!
