What is The Shiunji Family Children about?
The Shiunji Family Children manga series Reiji Miyajima has been serialized in Hakusensha's manga magazine Young Animal since February 2022. At the time of this writing, four volumes have been published in Japan. Yen Press, which licensed the manga in English, shared a description for the first volume of the romantic comedy series:
The love between brother and sister. The love between man and woman. That which is most forbidden is most unyielding. The two sons and five daughters of the Shiunji family shine like brilliant gems, each with intelligence and beauty in equal measure. And with the pedigree of their wealthy father behind them, how could they not be the talk of the town? Eldest son Arata has spent his life being tossed around by the whims of his colorful sisters, yet a little teasing won’t stop him from valuing his family over anything and anyone else. But when his youngest sister turns fifteen, their father reveals a long-hidden secret of the Shiunji “siblings” and knocks Arata’s world off its axis…
Miyajima's other romantic comedy series recently got an update: Back in July, it was announced that the Rent-a-Girlfriend anime has been renewed for a fourth season, and that it will adapt the Hawaii Trip arc of his manga series.
