Parental Incest / Anime & Manga

• There exists a yuri manga called 1 x 1/2 about a teenage girl who is sexually attracted to her mother, and it's made pretty clear how abundantly messed up everyone involved would have to be for her to even have such feelings to begin with, since the girl has some Yandere tendencies and abandonment issues, possibly stemming from her having been abused by an older classmate years before and considering this to be normal behavior as a result. The mother does eventually find out, and even though she’s horrified, she's ultimately too passive to put her foot down and stop the situation from escalating to the point of them kissing and sharing a bed, which is hinted to be because she has only ever been in dysfunctional relationships which she doesn’t know how to get out of.
• Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor has some romantic subtext between Glenn and his adoptive mother Celica. It's made somewhat weirder by the fact that Celica is immortal and looks the same in the present as when she first adopted him.
• Attempted in Alice in Murderland. Ibara goes to her adoptive father's room to seduce him, not out of any attraction—she actually despises him and doesn't think he's good enough for her adoptive mother—but because she worships her mother so completely that she wants to be just like her, and believes sleeping with her mother's husband will bring her closer to that goal. Unfortunately for her (or fortunately, as the case may be), she discovers that night that neither she nor her mother ever stood a chance.
• In Baki the Grappler, Baki's mother Emi tries to motivate him to become stronger than his father and gain her acceptance by nonchalantly kissing him on the lips, in front of bystanders who are aware that she is his mother. No one seems to really care, though.
• In the manga Battle Royale, Mitsuko has this a bit, leading to her, at that time, stable morals being broken and turning her into The Vamp she is as of the series beginning; and this event repeatedly comes up a lot, particularly when she is raping Yuichiro, as well as when Kiriyama was torturing her with bullets.
• Beastars: Melon was sexually harassed by his mentally disturbed mother as a child because he reminded her of his Disappeared Dad. While there is no indication that she ever actually raped him, she clearly got sexual pleasure from making him help her undress. This likely contributed to him coming to the conclusion that she was planning to eat him.
• Berserk has an incredibly creepy example in the King of Midland and his feelings for his only daughter, Princess Charlotte, who is unfortunate enough to bear a quite strong resemblance to the late Queen of Midland. After Griffith has sex with Charlotte following Guts' leaving him and the Hawks, the King goes crazy, and after throwing Griffith into the Tower of Rebirth to be put to the torture and declaring the rest of the Hawks outlaw, he tries to rape Charlotte. She barely manages to fight him off, and the experience wracks him with incredible guilt, to the point where he visibly ages and falls ill. Charlotte (very understandably) wants nothing to do with her father afterwards, and won't even see him on his deathbed.
• Black Butler:
  • Freudian Excuse for some of Alois's behavior. The very first scene of Season 2 gives us the blink-you'll-miss-it visual of Alois getting out of a bed in which an old man is sleeping before the much more noticeable bruised-butt shot. The kid only mentions his father during his clearly false innocent moments, otherwise freaking out at the mention of him, stating hysterically that he "got rid of all the old man's things". The numbers of when he was "saved" from his kidnapping experience, when his father is stated to have died, and when he contracted Claude all match up. It's eventually shown that the man wasn't his real father. He eventually had to act as Earl Trancy's son, as well as the obvious fact that it's an old man having probably non-consensual sex with a boy who's only just hit puberty.
  • Played for Laughs in the OVA. Grell, Lovable Sex Maniac that she is, gets cast as Ophelia in the Phantomhive production of Hamlet. Hilarity Ensues when she Glomps Agni (playing Ophelia's father) during her Sanity Slippage scene. Naturally, it worked.
• Bleach: Zigzagged between Mayuri and his "daughter", Nemu, after she's killed by Szayel Granz. Mayuri revives her through unknown means, since the camera remains focused on his back. All the audience sees are his hips thrusting, which causes Nemu to gasp and moan in pleasure, until she finally screams. But when Renji and Uryuu call what he's done "indecent" for television, Mayuri says he's done nothing of the sort and calls them twisted for having such thoughts.
  Mayuri: [indignant] What?? You say that wasn't suitable for television...? How absurd. Admit it: you're really the perverted ones for having such thoughts, aren't you.
• Played with in Bunny Drop. Daikichi adopts his grandfather's daughter at a young age and is her father figure. Rin never refers to Daikichi as her father, which foreshadows the fact that post-timeskip they become love interests. This is after it's revealed that Rin isn't Daikichi's aunt.
• In Chobits, Freya fell in love with her father/creator. It did not end well.
• Implied for Kazutaka Muraki of Descendants of Darkness. His mother had a huge doll collection (which he has inherited and apparently maintains) and treated him as part of it. There is some highly symbolized flashback imagery of him as a little boy trapped by her with her terrible smile. Slight spider vibe; definitely playing up the 'predator' side. And look how he treats his human dolls... Also, he killed her. According to him. Note that all of this is only in the manga; the Gecko Ending of the anime is an adaptation of the same volume most of this comes from, but they left out all the child abuse and focused on making his vendetta against his half brother's severed head make some kind of sense.
• Don't Meddle with My Daughter!: Clara has the hots for her Action Mom, Athena Haruka. which gets lampshaded twice in the "Amazing Eighth Wonder Vol.1":
  Hanna: "Her beloved mother, who she kept to herself until now, has been stolen by a man."
  Athena: (over the phone) "But it's her own father!"
  Hanna: "Even if she understands that with her head, she can't be convinced, can she? Furthermore, every night her parents have been fucking like rabbits in the next room over, and she's been hearing your voices."
  • Mei reaffirms it when she points it out to Clara, by explaining what she's feeling:
    Mei: "Clara... you saw the "woman" in your mother. It must have been shocking, huh...? Experiencing raw emotion towards your own parent...."
  • It comes to fruition when Clara gets possessed by the parasite. She makes physical copies of herself and uses the parasite as a strap-on to gangbang Athena all at once^note the energy released by Athena's orgasm overloads the parasite and kills it. Which frees Clara from its influence.
  • Clara gets to do it again during "Uncanny Eighth Wonder no.2", in order to free her mother from Blowjob's control. Clara and her girlfriend, Mei, double-team Athena in a threeway until she finally climaxes hard enough to return to her senses.
• Franken Fran, with the eponymous character having a crush on her father/creator. In the chapter where this is revealed, she receives a movie where the main characters are her and her father... it turns out to be a porno and the makers of it are killed shortly after Fran finishes watching it.
• This is apparent especially in the omake in Game×Rush, though in this case the "parent and child" in question only think that they're related.
• In Gankutsuou, Andrea Cavalcanti not only tries to rape his half-sister, but actually has sex with their mother, Victoria. Note that he knew she was his mother at the time, while she was unaware.
• It's very, very heavily implied that Sho Shibuya from Great Teacher Onizuka was sexually abused by his mother. Not only that, but nobody believed him when he went to the authorities, so he murdered her (or at the very least attacked her with murderous intent) and then attempted suicide.
• The episode "The Coat of Many Colors" of Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics is based off the fairy tale Allerleirauh (a variant on Donkeyskin). It has a mentally unstable king falling into despair and trying to marry his daughter, Princess Aleia, because she is the only woman who is beautiful as his wife was. Aleia runs away, becomes a Fallen Princess, and, unlike in the original, she ends up deeply traumatized by the ordeal.
• In He Is My Master, the sister-maids ran away from their home in the first place because they got tired of resisting their father's constant sexual advances.
• In Kaguya Hime, Akira is her adoptive mother's lover.
• In Kanon (Chiho Saito), the relationship between Kanon Hayashi and Gen Mikami, who turns out to be her father, is the hub of the whole plot.
• In Karas, Otoha is revealed to be a Child by Rape, his mother having been raped by his brother/father. It is suggested that his congenital insensitivity to pain is a result of his being a product of incest.
• In Kaze to Ki no Uta, Gilbert and his sexual relationship with his uncle Auguste is made even worse when we find out that Auguste is not Gilbert's uncle, but his father.
• Kill la Kill:
  • Ragyo Kiryuin is uncomfortably affectionate towards her daughter, Satsuki, outright molesting her in one particularly infamous scene in the bathhouse under the pretext of "purification". This is just one of the reasons why Satsuki hates her mother.
  • Later on, after rediscovering her long lost daughter Ryuko (who she had thought was dead), Ragyo apparently has a threesome with her and her adopted daughter Nui Harime. It's later implied that this was a Fake Memory Ragyo implanted, but even if that's true, it brings up the question of why the hell she would implant a memory like that.
• Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS had an... unusual case with Scaglietti, who impregnated his cyborg daughters with clones of himself that had all his memories. There's no indication that any actual sex occurred, but it's still incredibly creepy.
• Metamorphosis (2013): Saki's father rapes her, then spins it to her mother to make her think that Saki tried to seduce him. In a betrayal of her promise to always have Saki's back, her mother takes her father's side and assaults her, and Saki runs away from home.
• In MM! the main character Taro is actively pursued by his sister and mother who agree to share him between themselves and nobody else- although they still compete with each other to see who will win his heart.
• In one episode of My Bride is a Mermaid Nagasumi ingests a particularly insidious love potion. It makes all women love him and all men hate him. Not only did his ostensible mother-in-law proposition him but his own mother was also heavily affected when she came face to face with him. Luckily a Megaton Punch from his father prevented it from going any further.
• This is played very darkly in the Stop Motion short My Little Goat, where it's revealed that Natsuki's father abuses him both physically and sexually. While at first he seems like a normal father who's relieved to have found his missing son, it's quickly revealed what his real intentions are when he attempts to molest Natsuki right in the middle of Mother Goat's house. Luckily, Mother Goat arrives just in time to use a taser on Natsuki's father before things get even worse.
• Initially averted in My-Otome, Nina is in love with her adoptive father, though Sergey doesn't feel the same (and probably doesn't know about Nina's). Though Nina and Sergey come close to doing... well, you know... together close to the end, though Sergey chickens out at the last second, due to the fact that he only thought of her as his daughter and was disgusted by her feelings for him. In the end, Sergey loses his memories and it seems Nina has dedicated herself to nursing him back to health. However, My-Otome Zwei reveals they never had sex, as Nina still has the nanomachines that make her an otome, which are lost when an otome has sex with a man. This isn't present in the manga, where Sergey is the Big Bad and not related to Nina, biologically or through adoption.
• The ironically aptly-named Electra Complex relationship between the surrogate father and daughter pair of Nemo and Electra in Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water.
• Played for Laughs with Yuuna Akashi from Negima! Magister Negi Magi, who never really grew out of the innocent childhood desire to marry her father. Among her friends, she's known to get really jealous if other women seem interested in her father. One chapter shows that this is may be due to inherent innocence about love rather than romantic designs on her father, though, as she apparently doesn't really know the difference between a kiss on the cheek and a "deep, passionate kiss". This leads to her saying that she wouldn't mind giving the latter to her dad, which elicits a disgusted "No. Just… No" Reaction from Yuuna's friend Ako.
• In Not Simple, it is revealed that the older sister the protagonist Ian has been searching for all these years was, in fact, also his mother, impregnated by his father after the two slept together when she was in her early adolescence. His father's wife was forced to raise him as her own child, and she explained that the rage and resentment she felt towards his sister was the reason that she abused Ian so horribly.
• In an anime-only episode of Nyaruko: Crawling with Love!, several characters end up unknowingly ingesting Love Potion-dosed chocolates that make you fall madly in love with the first person to speak to you after you hiccup. Because he spoke up after a chain-reaction hiccup, Mahiro ended up with almost the entire cast chasing him, including his own mother Yoriko; thankfully he was able to find a place to hide out until the drug wore off.
• Ōoku: The Inner Chambers:
  • Sakyo's mother first forced herself on him when he was fourteen, and the relationship carried on for almost ten years, long enough for him to father two children on his own mother. Little wonder that Sakyo was willing to enter and work at Ienobu's household with no pay, if it meant getting away from his mother. She did NOT take it well when he announced he was leaving, and threatened to curse him.
  • Ieyoshi raped his daughter Iesada since she was a teen. When she (and her advisor Masahiro Abe) started taking steps to prevent this, Ieyoshi turns full Yandere at being denied her: poisoning a husband, trying to stop her from getting a harem, sabotaging her second marriage by marrying her to a literal child, then poisoning her and her husband because if he couldn't have her, no one could. All this has left a nasty legacy on poor Iesada, even after her father dies: she's afraid to have sex at all (even with her trusted bodyguard Taniyama) and the poison is slowly killing her.
• While the pedophile cop in Paranoia Agent doesn't actually do anything to his daughter, he did set up cameras in her room to get pictures of her undressing and insists on the hookers The Mafia was bribing him with calling him "Daddy." Ewwww...
• Strongly implied in the case of Yuri Tokikago and her Mad Artist father in Penguindrum. In the episode focusing on her past and her bonds to the late Momoka, there are some shots involving Yuri lying down and apparently naked in a room that looks like her father's studio...
• In Sailor Moon's Black Moon arc, brainwashed villainess Black Lady targets her own father for brainwashing to monopolize his attentions, kissing him on-panel. It's implied that the Wiseman, The Man Behind the Man responsible for Black Lady's brainwashing, twisted her simple juvenile Electra Complex into something inherently warped.
• In Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas one character states that the four Dream Gods, servants of Hypnos (the God of Sleep), are referred to as being either his brothers or his children in the myths. It is never explained what they actually are, but from what we know about the Greek Gods…
• In Saiyuki, one of the ways Jien (Dokugakuji) protected his younger brother (by his father's mistress) was by "taking [his] father's place" and sleeping with his mother to calm her down. He ends up killing her to keep her from killing Gojyo. Naturally, Dokugaku feels incredibly guilty about all of this, and, like the Brother–Sister Incest between Hakkai and Kanan, this is never spelled out in the anime version.
• It's implied in Shadow Star that Shiina's friend Akira Sakura was molested by her father, which would be the reason why she has severe problems.
• The Testament of Sister New Devil:
  • Among Basara's many master/servant contracts, he has an ongoing incestuous relationship with his biological aunt, Chisato, who also happens to be the school nurse. The OVAs only have them go as far as brief make out sessions and foreplay. But their relationship is much more explicit in the Light Novels, which shows them actually having sex.
  • Taken further in official art set after the Light Novel's conclusion. One shows Basara stark naked in an orgy with all 8 girls of his harem at once, including Chisato who's seen on her knees still performing oral sex on him.
• This, along with many other types of perversion, occurs in Texhnolyze with Toyama and his dad. It's also implied to be a part of the carefully crafted breeding program among the Class. The ultimate result is Kano, a guy with deformed legs (soon replaced with cybernetics), and an even more deformed mind. Just for example, he seems to genuinely believe that the world exists only inside his mind, and all his atrocities are just a form of self-discipline.
• Weirdly averted in Arina Tanemura's Time Stranger Kyoko, where in the ending Kyoko ends up possessing her long-dead adoptive mother's body—which her father preserved. So, while there's no actual incest, the King's adoptive daughter is possessing his wife's body. The body that gave birth to the body she used to possess.
• Seishirou Sakurazuka and his mother Setsuka in Tokyo Babylon and X/1999. No evidence about sexual encounters, thank God, but the Sub Text is incredibly strong — specially in the CD dramas. Not helped by their Last Kiss in the manga, which comes after a teenage Seishirou fights, defeats and kills Setsuka as the requirement to become the Sakurazukamori.
• Implied in Tokyo Ghoul. Juuzou Suzuya was raised from a very early age by a wealthy and sadistic ghoul called Big Madam. When he wasn't being tortured or forced to kill for her amusement, "Rei-chan" was dressed up and treated like a doll. Big Madam praises him for being so beautiful, playing with his mouth while he stares blankly ahead. To preserve his doll-like appearance, she castrates him so he'll always be beautiful.
• The anime villain Furumizu from Witchblade has some creepy implications of this. Doesn't help the man has a very messed up reverse Oedipus Complex.
• Yuureitou:
  • Marube is creepily touchy-feely and overly protective toward his daughter Satoko, while she's in turn terrified of him. Later when Satoko meets her mother, Marube says he "confirmed her chastity every night, as a father" and says he wanted to take her virginity once she turned twenty. It turns out they're probably not biologically related. This causes Satoko to become furious at him.
  • Later on Marube tries to seduce Tetsuo, who turns out to be his son. He's attracted to him due to his Strong Family Resemblance to his deceased mother.
