I love both story, for the second story though I think there not people are ok with the couple being cousin.

Both stories are great although for the second story, I don't think that all culture accept the idea that they are cousins but I think that in Japanese culture it is accepted as long as there is some degree of distance. Also I feel bad for Takao for the second story I hope he find his match hopefully he there's a story for him or at least some side stories.
