* All over the place in the 0verflow universe (which ''VisualNovel/SchoolDays'' is a part of), thanks to the omnipresent patriarch [[HandsomeLech Tomaru]] [[SerialRapist Sawagoe]] banging ''[[ReallyGetsAround a lot]]'' of women [[VillainousIncest (even]] [[ParentalIncest those]] [[BrotherSisterIncest related]] to him) and maintaining his secrecy in regards to his kinship with many characters. As a result, a lot of characters who are in romantic or sexual relationships share a familial connection that can be traced back to the TangledFamilyTree that he has made. One prominent example would be [[spoiler:Makoto]] with [[spoiler:Sekai & Setsuna]], who are AT BEST half-uncle and half-nieces thanks to the former being Tomaru's son with one of his nurses and the latter two being Tomaru's granddaughters with other relatives[[note]]For further context as to how horribly inbred their babies are, here's the rundown: [[spoiler:Tomaru and his half-sister Moegi are the parents of Kagura and Youko. Tomaru also impregnated Kagura's friend Hatsuka with a son named Shun. Shun ALSO ReallyGetsAround and has fathered several of the heroines, including Sekai who is his daughter with Youko. Setsuna is Shun's daughter with Mai. Mai happens to be one of the many children Tomaru sired by Kagura, his daughter/half-niece. And while the [[WordOfGod canonical]] family tree only confirms that Makoto gets Sekai and Setsuna pregnant, there are routes in ''VisualNovel/ShinyDays'' where Youko and Mai have his babies too]][[/note]].
* In ''VideoGame/ShadowHeartsCovenant'', the hero Yuri meets the babealicious Karin and the two go through many harrowing adventures together. It becomes clear pretty quickly that Karin is falling for Yuri, although he's still pining over his lost love from the first game in the series. However, at the end [[spoiler: due to some messing around with the space-time continuum, Karin ends up traveling back in time and marrying Yuri's father...and becoming Yuri's mother. Good thing they never actually got together, eh]]? This makes sense in a twisted way. [[spoiler: Considering that Yuri and his father were apparently very similar people, it does make sense that Karin first falls for Yuri in her time and for his father in the past. While they only remained friends, Yuri does manage to convince Karin to wear a very skimpy outfit. The scene becomes either [[HarsherInHindsight squicky]] or more [[HilariousInHindsight hilarious]] afterwards depending on how perverted your sense of humor is]].



* ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'': [[spoiler:Sayo]] discovers their true identity as [[spoiler:Kinzo's bastard ParentalIncest ChildByRape]], putting their attraction to [[spoiler:Battler, George, and Jessica]] firmly in this trope.



* ''VisualNovel/YuminaTheEthereal'' has a NotBloodSiblings example. [[IdiotHero Yumina Midorishita]] is the biological daughter of [[MissingMom Yumika Midorishita]], while [[SupportingProtagonist Ayumu Akashima]] is the adopted son of [[DisappearedDad Takehito Akashima]]. Later on, it's revealed that Yumika and Takehito were HighSchoolSweethearts and that Takehito is also Yumina's biological father. In Yumina's route as well as the True ending, Yumina and Ayumu fall in love and hook up before the revelation that their parents are lovers, but even after they find out, they don't realize the implications that they're technically siblings until someone else points it out much later. Their immediate reaction is [[{{Squick}} embarassment and disgust]], followed by Ayumu trying to justify that it's okay because he's adopted while Yumina tells everyone (including Ayumu) to shut up because she doesn't want to think about how weird it is that her boyfriend is her brother, adopted or not. It doesn't help that Takehito fully acknowledges that they're both his children while still being [[ShipperOnDeck extremely supportive of their relationship]]. Fortunately for them, the fact that they're siblings was never mentioned again after this scene.

* Subverted in ''VisualNovel/TokyoNecro''. Partway through Kiriri's route, the main character Ethica manages to recover parts on an android made with Yukari Aso's memories, her love interests Kiriri's mother. By it she is told that Yukari carried Ethica in her womb, which would make her and Kiriri half sisters. Needless to say, she does not take this well. [[spoiler:The subversion comes from the fact that Ethica should have paid more attention to the androids [[ExactWords choice of words]]. While Yukari carried Ethica, they share no genetic material. Ethica's true mother is the ''man'' known as Takeyuki Nagaoka, the father of the other main character and thus her half brother So'un, and Hokoyasu Kibanohara. Yukari only served as a surrogate womb for the sake of a gay man she loved but knew would never love her back. While Ethica was startled by this revelation, it also meant that there was no issue with her and Kiriri's relationship]].

* In the novel ''The Neighbors'' by Hannah Mary [=McKinnon=], the teenage children of the titular neighbors have similar interests and may date. Abby, the mother of the girl, Sarah, tries to stop this, as she knows it is possible that Liam, the father of the boy, Zac, could be Sarah's father as well, as they once had a relationship and had a one-night stand the first time they saw each other since then, around the time Sarah was conceived. By reading Sarah's diary, she discovers that both Sarah and Zac are dating other people. However, when Sarah finds out about Liam and Abby's affair, she blames Abby, and reveals she and Zac are actually dating and have slept together, and she wrote about a fake boyfriend knowing her mother would read it. After the climax, Sarah has broken up with Zac, citing their parents' history as the reason. She doesn't tell him that she secretly did a DNA test and is actually his half-sister, as she loves the man she believed to be her father too much to reveal to him that he isn't.

* In ''VideoGame/AITheSomniumFiles,'' shortly after meeting Date, Iris seems to be immediately attracted to him and even strongarms him into taking her on a date. Although Date doesn't truly reciprocate, being more than a decade her senior, he does admit that she ''is'' cute and he seems to [[CovertPervert still be attracted to her body.]] However: [[spoiler: Thanks to [[FreakyFridayFlip body swap shenanigans,]] it ends up being incestuous in ''two different ways.'' Firstly, Date's mind and personality are, [[AmnesiacHero unbeknownst to him]], that of Iris's mother's former boyfriend, a man who, despite their lack of blood relation, [[ParentalSubstitute Iris fully thinks of as her father.]] Secondly, the body Date is currently inhabiting is that of Iris's half-brother, Saito. Thankfully, once the truth comes out, Iris fully drops her pretenses and instead begins [[ShipperOnDeck pressuring Date and her mother to properly get married.]] Iris still bugs Date for a "date," but it's clearly in a [[DaddysGirl father/daughter sense]] at that point.]]

* In ''ComicBook/ManyHappyReturns'', Kara Zor-El (the original ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}) and Kon-El (ComicBook/{{Superboy}}) meet and find each other cute (Kara is visibly smitten with him). Neither of them knows at the beginning that Kara is a cousin of Kon's genetic template.



* ''ComicBook/{{Shazam}}: The Monster Society of Evil'' has a thankfully low-key example: Mary seems to have a PrecociousCrush on the superhero who just [[RescueRomance saved her from being eaten by alligator-men]] and kisses him on the cheek, only to find out a few pages later that he's actually the OlderAlterEgo of her [[LongLostRelative long-lost big brother]]. She thinks it's gross, but he's so happy to have tracked her down that he's just amused by the whole thing.
* Played with in ''ComicBook/SupermanRedSon''. Although nothing ever comes of it, Superman and Lois Lane are clearly in love. It's revealed at the end of the comic that [[spoiler:Superman is not an alien but a highly evolved human from the far future sent back in time as a baby, and he is a distant descendant of Lois and her husband Lex Luthor. That being said, the family connection is so many generations removed that they're probably no more genetically related than any two random people]].

But one of the problems they face is Luke's father, Marcus, acting like he's creepily attracted to Phoebe while also trying to prevent Luke from leaving with her. At the end, Marcus explains what's really going on: he once had an affair with Phoebe's mother nine months before she was born and he always wondered if he was her biological father. Once Luke became attracted to her, Marcus broke into the local medical clinic to learn her blood type which ultimately confirmed his suspicions that he is indeed. Hence why he'd being trying to break up their relationship and also get to know her.
