Ore ga Suki nano wa Imouto dakedo Imouto ja Nai

Aspiring light novel author Yuu Nagami regularly enters writing competitions but has yet to win a single one. Despite his recurring failures, he remains steadfast in his resolve to become a better writer.

When he takes a look at the list of winning authors in the latest contest he joined, he notices that someone named Chikai Towano dominated the competition. He soon discovers that behind the pen name is his sister Suzuka—the last person he can imagine being an author. Suzuka cannot reveal to anyone that she is Chikai Towano and requests her brother to take her place.

Yuu agrees with one condition: he will continue posing as Chikai Towano for his sister until he publishes his own book. Until that happens, Yuu uses his new identity as an opportunity to improve his writing skills and meet fellow authors and new acquaintances along the way.

Bro, this is far more good than you may even think, DO NOT ever listen to the bloody edge lords.
It's good. Just good. Enjoy the trip. When you watch this, you feel yourself being on a cruise ship, you do not think much or feel much, but that's the bloody point. It's good, clean and good.
Wierd idea to write a lot of words, what is, essay, lol? Just don't listen to the edge lords and play the anime.
Review rating : 10/10. Yes.

Mixed Feelings

As soon as I saw the title and the cute little sister, I jumped into the anime with all my enthusiasm. I hadn't expected much, as I already had a good idea of what would happen—and it did.

The main character constantly acts cowardly and dunderhead. It's not that I’m unfamiliar with characters like this, but every time I encounter such nonsense, I question why the protagonist can't go further, especially when it comes to romantic development. Also he uses -san honorific when he adresses Suzuka.That said, it's clear that our MC has feelings of love and lust for his little sister, which is evident from ... his reactions. This aspect counters his timid nature to some extent.

The plot revolves around the little sister, Suzuka, who writes a light novel and enters it in an online contest, eventually winning first place. However, she is unable to present herself publicly due to circumstances like being underage. She convinces her brother to substitute for her, posing as the novel's author. At the celebration event, he meets several coworkers: two women with big boobs and a high school girl, who happens to be his favorite writer.

As the story progresses, not much of significance happens, as this is just a typical romance-ecchi-harem anime. However, the presence of the imouto (little sister) adds a unique charm. It's like adding life-saving spices to an otherwise bland dish—like transforming plain food into a flavorful penne arrabbiata.

Suzuka is an incredibly cute sister. Her petite and delicate appearance which if it were irl I would caress with love, her blushing expressions, and the way she affectionately says "onii-chan" make it feel like heaven exists.

I initially felt bad for Sakurada, but the way he completely disregarded his sister's feelings changed my mind. He was fawning over her far too much and ended up being a failure of an onii-chan. Things might have turned out better for him if he hadn’t acted so recklessly, assuming everything would work out on its own.

Holy hell. What a chore to watch. This is one of those shows that starts with an interesting premise, but then completely abandons it and all logic for constant fan-service and bad jokes. This was an incredibly difficult show to finish.

The main characters are your basic brother/sister complex pair. The side characters are annoying and forgettable. I honestly don't think I liked anyone in this show. It was a chore getting through the endless bad attempts as humor and the creation of conflict.

The worst part though was the art. I'm not an animation snob. I don't need Bones to animate a show in order to ... be able to enjoy it. But if the art in a show sucks, it's very noticeable. It's like when you have a bad offensive line in football. When their names aren't being called, you know they're doing well. But when you notice how bad their playing, it becomes a problem. It seems like they rushed the production of this show, and it tells.

If you like yourself, don't watch this show. If you like this show after watching it, you likely need to see some professional help.
