Ah, twincest. From Die Walküre to Jaime and Cersei; from Luke and Leia to the Ouran host club’s Hitachiin twins. While incest is generally frowned upon in society, fictional twincest captures something in our horny collective psyche. Reactions to twincest run from disgust to a taboo romanticization–I still haven’t reconciled how the Lannister twins got one of the most romantic, redemptive deaths in Game of Thrones. The comprehensive TV Tropes page on twincest claims that an “old Japanese myth says that if two star-crossed lovers commit dual suicide, they get reincarnated as twins. This may be one of the factors in the frequency of Twincest stories in anime.”
Of course, TV Tropes also makes the argument that twincest is different from “Twin Threesome Fantasy”, and if that’s the case than The Circumstances of Two Twins’ Love is the latter. Twins Shouta and Yuuta both pester their beleaguered teacher, Kimura, to date them, fighting over their handsome, cool, bangable teacher. Kimura points out they’re his students, there’s just too many obstacles, although the twins are thrilled to learn that, unlike most people, their hot teacher can tell them apart.
When Kimura is invited to their house to meet with their mother–who’s conveniently away–the teacher finds himself between two twins and a hard… something. Kimura admits he’s flattered at the twins’ interest and persistence, but he’s their teacher, they can’t be lovers.
But that doesn’t mean he can’t prepare them for when they come for him after graduation… Prepare them with SEX CLASSES that is!
A teacher consenting to go bottom up for his twin students is a porn-worthy premise, as is him grading the twins on their dirty talk as they go; he likes older twin Shouta’s promise to make them both feel good over younger twin Yuuta’s cliché “sensei, you’re so sexy…” (Listen dude, some of us don’t even have a single twin to compliment us, quit being so picky.)
The Circumstances of Two Twins’ Love is a sexy, quick one-shot, and while the premise is only possible in a medium that can uphold this flavour of campy taboo, the “teaching them about sex for when we date later” plays out well on the page. As they strip their teacher down and loosen him up, the twins take turns topping Kimura while the other one gets to prop him up and make out with him. The kissing, the fucking, the nipple play, it’s sexy and depicted well, if a bit straightforward and not the most sexually imaginative porny manga I’ve read.
Now, here’s where the distinction between twincest and twin threesome fantasy comes in. I readily admit that I’ve had a twin fantasy, especially where porny art is involved, since I stumbled on ponderosa121‘s fanart of the Weasley twins as a teenager–I just went on a trip down memory lane finding ponderosa121’s stuff again, they’re still active and fantastic posting horny fandom art. To this pervert, part of the turn-on in a twins fantasy is the taboo aspect of getting it on with two identical brothers in a threeway. In The Circumstances of Two Twins’ Love the focus is on Kimura as the sexy, drooling, slutty, literal centrepiece, taking it every which way, dripping cum. The twins are both there but only as involved as the other is passive–incest by proximity, rather than any involvement with each other. Beyond the sex on the page about all we know about the twins is older Shouta is a bit of a space case, younger Yuuta wears too much hair product and they’re both flagrantly horny for teacher.
I guess the twincest perv in me is sort of sorry that’s the extent of the twins fantasy in this yaoi manga. I’m not asking for Chekhov in yaoi manga, but I would have loved a little more of them as characters, and the twin thing coming into it a little more than just a feature. Instead of the twins being central to the fantasy the manga is spinning if you took all of the text out they could be stand-ins for two similar looking pretty anime boys; two roommates, two random guys Kimura found on the street, two clones, two homicidal androids who think you kill humans by dicking them down. These are quibbles, this horny manga gets the job done, but if I’m walking through that dark, forbidden twincest door I want some twin-on-twin action, damnit! Is it twincest if the twins don’t touch?
Level of Problematic: Teacher teaching his twin students to bone; that about sums it up, but if you’ve gotten past the title/premise of potentially incestuous yaoi twins you’re already a few miles down that dark path and lost to the light.
Level of Adorable: Two blushing twin cuties; the twins are really fucking cute, and I can 100% fuck with the art.
Level of Spiciness: Slutty senpai; this manga does not skimp on the gushing, drooling, dripping explicit filth we all show up for.
