Also known as ''[[Onegai Twins]]!'' in Japanese.
 
A sequel to ''[[Please Teacher!]]'', '''''Please Twins!''''' centers on Maiku Kamishiro, who moves into town looking for his childhood home, shown in a picture of him playing with his long-lost sister. He soon meets two girls his age, Miina Miyafuji and Karen Onodera, who each also have the same picture. But there are only two children in the picture, and neither of them know which is the sister, and they can't afford to have DNA tests run on themselves. To make matters worse, both girls [[Brother-Sister Incest|become rather attached to Maiku]].
 
The series, of course, includes appearances by the characters of the previous series, showing how they've fared [[Time Skip|since the end of ''Onegai Teacher'']]. It is also notable for being the first work in the [[Relationship Voice Actor|long-running partnership/friendship]] between voice actresses [[Mai Nakahara]] and [[Ai Shimizu]].
Line 14:
* [[Brother-Sister Incest]]:
** Though novelization and anime/manga adaptations switch who is the canon, true twin, and chosen girl at the end.
** Also with Matagu, who didn't have any particular lust for his sister in ''[[Please Teacher!]]''.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "We might be related! We might be strangers!"
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Several cast members crossing over from ''[[Please Teacher!]]'' go through this, but none more so than Kei -- the poor guy doesn't have a single spoken line (except in the OVA).
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Ichigo's delightful "Ufufu", complete with a [[Cat Smile]].
* [[Fainting]]: Karen fainting at any surprise or stress is a running gag, though like many such things, it tapers off as the series goes on.
* [[Fan Service]]: Truckloads of it, since the two girls share their baths ''all the time''.
* [[Flanderization]]: Matagu. He was a pretty normal guy in ''[[Please Teacher!]]'' but has been flanderized into an ''incestuous'' creepy lolicon in this.
* [[Flat Character]]: [[All Men Are Perverts|Matagu]], despite being much more rounded in ''[[Please Teacher!]]''.
* [[Friends Rent Control]]: For an orphaned high school student working to support himself, Maiku's house is pretty big and fancy. Then again, the small-town setting makes this slightly less unrealistic than it would be in an urban setting. It's also explained that Maiku discovered the house in less-than-perfect condition and was able to rent it cheaply.
* [[Genki Girl]]: Miina.
Line 50:
* [[Title Drop]]: Both parts of the catchphrase listed above are episode titles.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Miina is the tomboy, Karen is the girly girl.
* [[Twelve-Episode Anime]]: Like ''[[Please Teacher!]]'', ''Onegai Twins'' are a twelve-episode anime and a [[Baker's Dozen|one episode]] [[OVAs]].
* [[Twincest]]: Averted - no actual sexual contact occurs between any of the three main characters until they figure out who is the real twin. Until then, it's only affectionate hand-holding and light kissing (although kissing is pretty serious in Japan).
* [[Two-Teacher School]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] when a student mentions that it seems like the school only has two teachers: Kazami Mizuho and Yamada Masaomi.
