Although Tonari no Oneesan ga Suki follows the slice-of-life and romance trend of younger males vying for the romantic attention of an older 'sister-type' woman, readers may quickly realise that this manga in particular does not simply use this premise for romantic escapism, for its male target audience to read and escape themselves into this social-fantasy.
Tonari no Oneesan ga Suki follows the story of Tasuku, a young 13-year-old who becomes enamoured with an older girl in high school next door. He often goes to her place to watch movies as an excuse to spend time with her. Yet the premise here is not used

This is absolutely none of those things, except for it also being romance.

Couple that with a low self-esteem, and a boy who's not nearly socially adroit enough to deal with an insecure avoidant, and you're basically spending almost the entire story watching a boy say the quiet part out loud, and his love interest spontaneously apply for a place in the 400
