See, this is why fewer Japanese teens get pregnant. If American teens got laid as often as the characters of Please Twins, nobody would be a parent before the age of 21.

In Please Twins, two girls move in with a software designer. All three own the same picture, showing the house they've moved into with a brother and sister in the front yard. Both girls – and the local school teacher, and a gay guy at the school – are infatuated with our boy Mike. One of the girls, Miina or Karen, is Mike's sister, and none of them are getting in bed together before this situation is resolved.

This third volume opens up with a shocker: We find out the flaming gay kid, who's been practically dry-humping Mike this entire time, isn't quite so gay. And it's the teacher he's infatuated with now. I think he swings both ways, or this is just a momentary relapse into heterosexuality. If Please Twins was based in San Francisco instead of an out-of-the-way Japanese town, Shimazaki would have a support group to help him get that touch of lavender back. Instead, Miina and Karen encourage this new "relationship." Hey, less competition for them.

Mike's good-looking senpai has been keeping Mike after school, either to find out if Mike is hot for teacher, or to just find out what's been going on with Mike and the roommates. Her and the strange class president play more of a role in this third volume, though not enough to distract us from the key players.

We get a lot more in the way of sexually uncomfortable situations. This time the little silly alien finds itself in a bad state when it interrupts Karen and Miina bathing together, which they do at least once an episode. Hey, it saves water.

The (prequel) Please Teacher! fans will catch on to a lot of the references about Mizuho's husband, and have known what the alien backdrop is about since episode one. The alien fun that was the basis of Please Teacher! is only seen – so far – in Please Twins when the little guy with the inner-tube pops up. The "hidden" alien element of this series should be resolved in volume four.

By the end of this third volume, we get some background on where Miina comes from. And we find out that the picture all three are concerned about has some secrets to reveal. This third volume does manage to progress the story of Please Twins! a bit and has a few funny parts. A good romance anime continues, but with only a few episodes left, a lot needs to be resolved in a short period of time.

A little subdued, Please Twins looks pretty at points. The DVD looks fine, with good colors and simple character definition. I couldn't find any digital flaws that took away from the show. Really, though, there just isn't much special about the animation of this series, with lots of simple, bland backgrounds, simple, bland character design and movement, and simple usage of the color palate. Full screen presentation.

Simple 2.0 Japanese and English language options, with simple use of the soundstage, Both language tracks are good, though I'm sticking with my first opinion that the Japanese language track rings off the ears better, The best part of the audio in Please Twins is the music, which is beautiful. Lots of fast-moving, melodic piano and keyboard, with a few slow guitar riffs thrown in for the contemplative scenes.

Once again, little going on in the special features area, with three image vocals, or music videos, for the episodes, a textless opening, trailers and credits. Commercials for the CD soundtrack – and the music is pretty good – are included, but really, Bandai should have added some special features relating Please Twins! to its prequel, Please Teacher!. A postcard is also included.
