All of Hazel's videos are great, but this one is especially entertaining imo.
I actually read the manga before watching this video (it's fairly short and well written) and the incestuous attraction implication was disturbing and uncomfortable for most of the manga, paired with a morbid fascination, as the video essay states, of what's gonna happen next - I actually found it pretty good by the end for the same reasons as stated in the video.

Ninomae was a very likeable character and the fact that Minoru started seeing her strengths, and even where he saw similarities... they turned out to be clearly defined and different people, with a good ending that left me feeling the same way like when there's a big crash in Formula One but the driver walks away unscathed.
Honestly, I didn't regret reading it at the end and it even makes me want to revisit Mysterious Girlfriend X - a manga that I dropped after
[Chapter 30-ish spoiler]
a rival was introduced.
It was a solid 7/10, of the weird manga kind.
