comment
After his girlfriend dumps him for someone else, 27-year-old Koshiro, a matchmaking service employee, has a chance encounter in the subway with a 15-year-old high school girl named Nanoka. He later meets her again at the entrance to an amusement park and since he has just been given two free tickets to it, he invites her to go with him. Nanoka herself has been having a bad day as well, as she'd just been rejected by the boy she had a crush on after admitting her feelings for him. Each being rather down over their lack of luck in the love department, they immediately feel an emotional connection across their age difference as the afternoon progresses.Upon leaving the park, they suddenly discover that they are brother and sister when they both recognize and greet their father as he's arriving. This comes as quite a shock, since they haven't seen each other since their parents got a divorce with split custody nearly a decade ago. Moreover, Nanoka is now moving in with her father and brother since their house is much closer to the high school she's attending. Against their better judgment, that first spark of mutual attraction slowly ignites into something deeper and more powerful as time progresses, especially since Nanoka develops a huge big brother complex and she is not deterred in the least by Koshiro's boorish and unsociable nature.Koi Kaze is a manga by Motoi Yoshida, which was serialized in the seinen magazine Evening from 2001 to 2004. It was adapted to a 13-episode anime series in 2004, and immediately received a lot of attention for its harrowing and realistic examination of sibling incest. The painful and guilt-ridden romance between Koshiro and Nanoka is credibly full of angst and Belligerent Sexual Tension as the two struggle against their desires, refreshingly devoid of the blithe disregard for social mores and fanservice most Shōnen series on similar subjects tend to have.

comment
Bittersweet Ending: It's slightly different between the manga and the anime: At the end of the anime, Koshiro and Nanoka are together and happy, but there is unmistakable symbolism that, at the very least, they are still facing a very difficult time to come. The makers of the anime obviously wanted to make a point here. The manga has some foreboding symbolism in the chapters leading up to it, but ends on a more positive tone, with Koshiro and Nanoka contemplating the inevitable challenges ahead (symbolized by the park where they "met" on the verge of closing) with open eyes and resolving to stick things out anyway.

Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Koshiro's a big guy. Tall, heavy set. Nanoka, though almost 18 by the end of the series, is still tiny. He's well over a head taller than her. It's a bit less pronounced in the manga, since Koshiro is slimmer there.

The Chikan: Nanoka runs into one once on her way to school. It's not a major plot point, but it occurs shortly after Nanoka got into an argument with Koshiro because she felt he was being annoyingly overprotective of her, and the experience led her to appreciate that Koshiro meant well.

Adaptation Distillation
 Koi Kaze (Manga) / int_5a40d6a
comment
Adaptation Distillation: The anime is, with a few exceptions, composed entirely of events from the manga, but it compresses the two-year period encompassed in the manga (three springs) to one year (two springs). Several of the largely standalone storylines were also cut out to account for the much shorter time frame. Also, oddly, the events of the manga's second chapter were made into an unaired episode 8 of the anime, later restored to the DVD release. All of the side characters have reduced roles in the anime, due to time constraints, and some side characters and their stories were even cut completely.

comment
Pragmatic Adaptation: While the anime took almost all of its major plot points from the source material, they were shuffled around to better fit the anime format - some events from early in the manga happened quite late in the anime, and certain scenes were transposed into happening during different storylines or settings, which leads to those changed events having a different context because of how different the relationship between Koshiro and Nanoka is when they happen.

Masturbation Means Sexual Frustration: Koshiro is jarringly and explicitly shown to engage in masturbation on impulse due to his escalating feelings for Nanoka. It serves as a strong point of guilt for him, and he feels very out of control after the fact.

Driven to Suicide: Nanoka at one point suggests committing lovers' suicide, but Koshiro objects. It seemed intended not to be taken too seriously, but her reason that it would much easier than trying to figure out their relationship implies she was at least half-serious. Koshiro not replying to that suggestion immediately implies that he was also seriously considering it.

Bishounen: Somewhat hilariously subverted. It's shown that before meeting her brother for real Nanoka envisioned him idealistically as being kind, helpful, and very much a pretty boy. While the first two eventually are shown to be the case as Koshiro grows closer to her, a pretty boy he is not. Despite Nanoka fostering romantic feelings for him, she even once muses that he doesn't really fit her idea of 'good-looking'.

Boyfriend Bluff: Makie is shown to have a polite and persistent, but unwanted, suitor. She doesn't have a good way to get rid of him without being very rude. Cue one of these with her making her son pose as her supposed "boyfriend" during one of his visits. Koshiro is at this point old enough for the ruse to work, but clearly uncomfortable with it.

Gecko Ending
 Koi Kaze (Manga) / int_9b25f2eb
comment
Gecko Ending: A mild example, as the anime ended a few months before the final chapters of the manga were released. Despite being over different time scales, the anime and manga actually follow surprisingly similar plot paths towards the end. However, there are a few notable differences - aside from the fact the manga covers more detailed territory by having more events happen, the anime has Koshiro resign from his job whereas in the manga he continues to work there. The anime also ends with Koshiro and Nanoka having another date at the amusement park unaware that it's scheduled to be demolished soon, whereas in the manga they aren't shown to have such a date, but they outright comment upon the park's upcoming closure. The differences in part serve to give the endings slightly different meanings, see the Bittersweet Ending entry.

Deliberately Bad Example
 Koi Kaze (Manga) / int_9c224098
comment
Deliberately Bad Example: Odagiri openly lusts for high-school-aged girls and sure wishes he could be in Koshiro's situation with Nanoka—which, of course, is exactly why he's not; he's mostly there just to remind us Koshiro is nothing like him and never asked for this whole situation to be foisted on him in the first place.

First Kiss: A bit ironic when Nanoka initiates a serious kiss with Koshiro and then she yells, "Aahhh! It's gone! My first kiss!"

Sexy Discretion Shot
 Koi Kaze (Manga) / int_a3912d0e
comment
Sexy Discretion Shot: Used a few times, as the series is designed to portray the situation realistically but isn't in it at all for fanservice. Koshiro is in a few scenes heavily implied to be masturbating (one of which he later confirms in a guilt-ridden internal dialogue), and eventually he and Nanoka give in to having sex with each other, but the audience never gets shown anything graphic.

Let's Wait Awhile: In the manga (but not the anime) Koshiro and Nanoka make a point of not immediately having sex after finally entering a relationship, and several months pass before they get intimate that way.

Sweetie Graffiti: In the final episode of the anime Koshiro and Nanoka carve their names into a tree in the amusement park where they first met, not knowing that the tree is about to be chopped down.

Series Continuity Error

comment
Series Continuity Error: At one point in the Anime's episode 6, another student offers to carry some boxes in Nanoka's hands, only he sets off in the opposite direction she was headed. In another scene Nanoka is shown having high set pigtails at first but later low set ones.

Period Piece: This series was written in 2001, but is set six years earlier (a scene in the penultimate episode reveals the year to be 1995), as seen with the use of sport uniforms and the lack of cellphones or the internet.

Hard-Drinking Party Girl: Chidori, who once partied so hard that she was calling herself "Midori" as she pressed more booze on Odagiri to get him drunk with her. In addition to drinking hard, however, she's also rather hard-bitten and sometimes gets rather mean when she's drunk.
