The anime trope of “suddenly living with a beautiful girl from class” is so enviable! Then Japanese netizens complained that if it happened in real life, it would be far from happy!

Parents suddenly decide to remarry, and their partner surprisingly brings along a beautiful girl from your class as a stepchild. Such a scenario may be common in Japanese anime, and it might even evoke feelings of envy.

However, Japanese netizens have recently engaged in a heated discussion about this: If such a plot were to really occur in reality, would it truly bring happiness as in anime, or would it actually lead to a series of headaches and troubles?

 Let’s take a look at what Japanese netizens think about this setup.

“Boring manga: ‘Because my parents remarried, I suddenly started living with a beautiful girl from my class!?’←Isn’t this annoying? Why is such a setup able to become mainstream?”

The original discussion took place on the Japanese forum “5ch,” where the poster criticized the anime plot of “Parents remarrying leading to suddenly cohabiting with a beautiful girl from the class,” sparking widespread reactions!

For example, in the popular manga and anime “My Stepmom’s Daughter Is My Ex,” adapted from a light novel, the male protagonist ends up living under the same roof as his ex-girlfriend due to his father’s remarriage.

In the anime “The Life of Little Sisters,” which aired this July, the protagonist gains a beautiful stepsister due to his father’s remarriage.

As for this season’s “Box of Youth,” while it does not fall under the category of parents’ remarriage, it also features the sudden cohabitation with a beautiful senior girl.

 In response to this setting, Japanese netizens reacted as follows:

“What makes you feel uncomfortable?”

“There are indeed many such settings in adult comics. ”

“Living together might become unpleasant. Because in creative works, one can set up a favorite beautiful girl, but in reality, if she is not one’s type, it can be simply terrible. ”

“In reality, if this kind of thing happens, family relationships would definitely be very complicated. At the very least, each side would think the other’s parents are abnormal. ”

“If we want to avoid the setting of running away from home, while also allowing boys and girls to live under the same roof, this is the only way, right? ”

“What’s wrong with that? One can expect a development similar to romantic anime, right? (laughs) ”

“Remarriage itself is not a problem, but it’s absurd to completely hide it from the child (laughs) ”

“Isn’t this kind of routine something that has been used since a long time ago? ”

““Younger Sister Life”. ”

Moreover, parents usually travel for long periods and are almost never at home.

Such parents really have no sense of ethics; ideally, they should at least wait until the children have graduated and developed their own lives before remarrying.

“If it were to happen in reality, there would be far more unpleasant things than happy ones. ”

“Actually, it’s pretty much like being reincarnated in another world. ”

Don’t you dare talk badly about ‘Youth Box’! 

This kind of almost impossible scenario always makes me lose interest, I really dislike it. 

‘Orange Marmalade Boys’ seems to have a setting like this, right? 

You might also 偶然 encounter each other while showering. This is really just a coincidence. 

After all, it is a fictional work. 

Even if it is a fictional work, it still makes one feel that the author did not seriously consider the realities of family life. 

Now that they are grown up, not being able to wait for three years is really frustrating; such parents can be very off-putting.

This is truly annoying in reality, but it might be better if it happened during childhood.

It is not hard to see from this discussion that Japanese netizens have varying attitudes towards this beautiful setting in anime; some find it unrealistic, while others see no harm in it.

Reality and fiction are ultimately different; living with a beautiful girl from the same class in daily life may be far less romantic than it is in anime.
