Land of Twins

This article really reminded me of the setting of Futakoi. Igbo-Ora, a sleepy farming community in southwest Nigeria, welcomes visitors with a sign proclaiming “The Land of Twins”. “There is hardly a family here without a set of twins,” said community leader Olayide Akinyemi.

Futakoi Alternative 10

Rentarou has been feeling all angsty ever since one of Kimihiko’s toadies tried to pass him dough for taking care of Souju. Rentarou refuses, and the toadie has some pretty harsh words about Rentarou’s indecision. Eventually, while staring at the wreckage, Rentarou tells Souju that she should go to Kimihiko’s basement again to [...]

Now that Sara’s gone, it seems like a lot of the life and soul has gone out of the lives of Rentarou and Souju. Sure they try to pass the time with word games and such, but everything has a tinge of awkward sadness. Even though they want to be able to have [...]
