Nope in African well major parts of Africa this is incest and it isn’t encouraged or allowed so it has nothing to do with western definition....but just as in Asia it isn’t incest in Africa it is
So you see what I mean when I say it is actually but it isn’t because this story takes place in a part of Asia that allows for cousins to date each or marry each other so you’re very correct by saying it isn’t, just to some other people from other countries cousins dating is considered incest to you it isn’t
I hope there’s no confusion
Because it is common or law allows, it doesn't mean it isn't incest, wrong or etc. Still problematic and higher percentage of bearing a child with deficiencies. There is a line between ethics+morals and cultural acceptance. We don't talk about variances in mental illnesses, polygamy or whatsoever across cultures. Incest doesn't necessarily mean that first degree blood affairs

This is my first time reading a yaoi that is incest omg i didn't know that they are related. I'm so lame wtf HAHAHAH but reading it til the end makes me forget that they are cousins.well, talking about the story i like how it shows the sides of gay people and uwuuu i love the brother and the friend so much.
