Synopsis:
As Tatsuya and Miyuki prepare to go on a trip to Okinawa, they recall their experience from four years ago, when their relationship was more distant.
Impressions:
What's that? A time when Miyuki wasn't up to her eyeballs in furious lust for her brother? Surely you jest. 'Tis no jest, gentle reader. As such, this look into the Shiba siblings' past is fairly interesting just for that. We've had bits and pieces explaining how Tatsuya got to where is in the series proper, but more of it gets laid out clearly, so some viewers may appreciate that. Tatsuya is overpowered as ever, even as a middle-schooler. God forbid the universe operate on anything other than easy mode. Now, if you like watching Tatsuya effortlessly curbstomp everything in his path, which is pretty much essential for enjoying this franchise, then you get some decent action. There's also a fair bit of the Yotsuba Family intrigue, so that's something too. All told, this is pretty good as Mahouka content goes. Coming off the Miyuki spinoff, this compares more favorably, enough for me to recommend it for a watch.
