Where's that one place you can be sheltered?

Hidden back from humanity for a couple of hours, a special retreat to allow your mind ease off from the world.

In friends? A lover? Entertainment mediums?

My cure would be Kiss x sis. Particularly for Ako and Riko. Two twin sisters with a fantastic depth of love for their younger step-brother, expressing their love in what they'd imagine would be the best way to show it.

They do want to show gratitude and kindness for how much they appreciate their step-brother, but they do it in such a warped and perverted way. All without any shame, or without really any realization as to how twisted the scenario truly is.

At first glance it's easy to see you being tempted to think this is a show merely intended for low-class adults, when it really is a sweet show that can manage to make you feel for the characters.

And most of the time, the sexual nature isn't intended to get you excited, it's often played for comedy. Or to sincerely enhance a certain bond to progress the characters. (At least in the main series, not entirely the OVA episodes)

One moment that I felt documented this show at it's best on all layers was when Ako and Riko were contemplating pulling out a strand of each other's pubic hair to put in a charm bag to give to their younger step- brother out of hope he would pass the entrance exam to get into his sisters' highschool.

It's both a funny and heart-felt moment, despite what many could consider an odd and crude nature about it.

Does this sound similar to a pocket you could also call home? Tucked off from the universe for a while?

You may also want to consider mixing the OVAs into this series, I believe they follow the same continuity. Look at the airdate for the OVAs and episodes of the series, match them up for best result. Though understand, the main series is more story-driven with calmer thrills, while the OVAs are a little more wacky sexy shenanigans.
