wait a second they're related??? so i just read incest??? huh???

They're not even cousins so yes but it's not really ya know (I'm in denial lol)

Cousins are allowed to get married in Japan. I guess they don't consider it incest?

I get the feeling that they aren't closely related. It doesn't seem like they'd even met before, so I don't think they're anywhere near as close as first cousins. (Although, yes, first cousins can be married in Japan.)

I agree. They are probably not first cousins.
