Alt titles: I Love My Younger Sister
Synopsis:
Yori Yuki has loved his twin sister ever since he can remember. While his parents brushed it off as a child’s fantasy, he always knew it was true love; but because it is incest, taboo, a forbidden love, he did his best to eliminate those feelings. 15 years have gone by and his feelings never wavered; in fact, they have grown stronger. He’s watched his sister Iku grow up and become a beautiful woman, and now, he can no longer contain his feelings – Yori confesses. Yet even if Iku reciprocates his feelings, that doesn’t change the fact that they’re brother and sister. Can forbidden love last?

add recIf you liked Koi Kaze, you'll definitely like BokuImo, since these two anime both deal with the forbidden love between brother and sister.
If you liked "Boku wa Imouto...", you'll like Koi Kaze a lot more, since it has a deeper story and isn't just pointless like this movie. =)
Koi Kaze and Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru are an obvious match. Not only do they both deal with the same tricky and potentially controversially the subject matter, that of incest, as they approach it in a sober, thoughtful manner that pulls at the heartstrings. Both are realistic and do not use fanservice, these anime are all about the emotional reaction of these characters who find themselves in a compromising situation.
Aside from the obvious fact that they are both based on incest, they both have a similar atmosphere. Both seem realistic, although probably not relatable, and they carry a bittersweet tone to them. There's the happiness of always being with the one they love, yet the cruelty that surrounds a forbidden love. And of course, both make attempts at avoiding reality. If you liked Koi Kaze, there's a chance you might like Boku was ni Imoto ni Koi o Suru just as well.
Both anime are pretty much the same thing about a sister and brother getting a little too far into a serious physical relationship and the drama that surrounds this leap they have taken but Koi Kaze does it way better. If you got any enjoyment out of Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru you'll surely appreciate the far superior Koi Kaze.

add recBoth Angel Sanctuary and Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru deal with the central idea of a forbidden love - more specifically the protagonist's incestuous love for his younger sister. If you enjoyed one's look on forbidden love, you should definitely check out the other.
These series both grip your heart in ways you do't really expect... Every human has a secret desire to know more about taboos and we all somehow love to break the rules, so if you are one of those people who just can't stop yourself, who want to know more, this is another show for you!
Both anime deal with the idea of incest love. The main characters have to put up with their feelings and with the society's attitude to love between brother and sister.If you liked one because of this matter, you would surely like the other.

add recBoth series focus on a forbidden love between a brother and sister. All of the main characters in both series struggle with and try to deny the feelings that they feel for their sibling. Please Twins has a more comedic aspect to it with some drama added, while Boku wa Imoutu ni Koi wo Suru is dramatic from beginning to end. If you liked one, you should give the other a try.
If you're into the whole "twins loving each other" theme, sure why not? I believe these two have a lot in common in that sense =) Besides the fact that they're both short and fast/easy anime to watch, they both focus on the fact that the twins DO have feelings for one another and therefore having to deal with the "what if" situations.
However, in many aspects Boka is much more deep and MUCH more mature. In comparison to Twins, Twins is more focused on humor and the theme of "who is the twin". While both have really well-defined characters, you might enjoy the fact that neither lose sight of the main concept. Therefore I believe if you've watched one, and want to watch a similar (yet different mood) anime, go for it!
Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru and Please Twins focus on a forbidden love between a brother and sister and the complications of maintaining a relationship through that fact. It is a big what if situation of what might happen in a situation where love comes through even in the case of siblings. Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru has a more dramatic, serious feeling to it while Please Twins has a great deal of comedic episodes in it.

add recBoth series are about forbidden but beautiful love (incest, yuri). Main characters have to fight for it and don’t get intimidated by others. If you liked one you will surely like the other.
Both of these anime are fluffy romantic stories about twins falling in love and the hardships they face.
Both of these series deal with forbidden love between twins. They are also short series so watching the other one doesn't take long if you want to see if it's any good.

add recI know these anime probably dont look like they fit together all that well, but i was watching them before and i couldn't help but notice how they felt simila. It was probably something about the art style that made it feel like that as a part but i do reccommend watching one if you enjoyed the other.
