"I want a family."

The Elder Sister Like One is many things. Charming, perverse, touching, eerie, sometimes lovely and other times disturbing.

Most of the manga involves bonding between the two main characters, with dark tales hinted at from frame to frame. All conveyed with a few words, those stories remain for you, the reader, to discover.

It is a rather interesting take at story telling, though many will be put off by the large amount of ecchi. Or maybe that will lure them to read it.

At the time of writing this review, there are 21 chapters out so far.

The art is great, having a good ... ability to set and change the mood at any moment.

The characters are a joy to see them interact. Chiyo's character has more to her than meets the eye, and is certainly the one I like the most. She has some perverse tendancies, however...

There are two ways to look at the ecchi in here.

Shameless fanservice, or the attempts of affection of a being who cannot comprehend humans, resulting in unnerving scenario tainted with bittersweetness.

The Elder Sister Like One is a manga that is what you make of it, but without a doubt is a highly enjoyable piece of art.

Adapted from a hentai manga comes a romantic, ecchi, slife of life. I came across this as I was looking for manga in an app.

There are 2 main characters, Chiyo and Yuu. Chiyo is the demon who is currently Yuu's older sister. The reason for this is because Yuu wished for this. A stunningly beautiful character, Chiyo's a bit clumsy and naive about the human world which was appealing. I really liked her. Yuu on the other hand reminded me of Chise from The Ancient Magus Bride. Both orphans, both wish to have a family, and both have similar hair. Except that one is a ... girl and the other is a boy. But Yuu is okay I guess. He is the protag after all.

Now what I enjoyed was their relationship. It's pleasant seeing them interact with each other and it was funny at times.

For now the story only shows Yuu's and Chiyo's relationship growing so that's pretty much the main reason i'm rating this a 7. There are hints of tragedy approaching so that is worth looking forward too. I'm probably gonna increase the score as I continue reading. I will update this review when I read like 20 chapters or so.

(Why am I reviewing this. It's only 7 chapters long lol. Oh well...)

This heart-warming manga truly makes me want to have a Demon Oneechan.

When I first touch this manga, I thought that this might be a manga that only has superficial boobs drawings without actual good materials or contents. It is true that this manga is extremely ecchi at times (probably not a suggested manga to be read in front of your girlfriend without telling her the actual content); yet, the bonding and the conversations between characters, Chiyo (older demon sister) and Yuu (younger human brother), definitely settles the case that this manga is worth to be recommended.

I will say that Chapter 13 is the go-to ... chapter to decide whether or not you will like this manga or not. I personally will recommend reading up to chapter 13 but not go straight to chapter 13 to understand why Yuu reacts in a certain way that makes me feel this manga is worth reading.


Minor Spoiler:
Story: 9 (so many things are still not explained, thus i give it a -1 for potential error)
Art: 10 (I am a male and I approve the boobs and tentacles. Wait, I mean the contour and the body of Chiyo and Yuu are drawn in sophisticated details... I am using my artsy perspective to rate this... I think? Hmmm)
Character: 9 (So far, I still don't understand the purpose for the appearance of "his uncle". Thus, I give it a potential -1 for mistakes)
Enjoyment: 10 (If I only include the ecchi moments, I will give it an 7 or 8. But, the moments of conversations regarding to life and family make me give it a solid 10!)
Overall: 9 (As this manga is really slow in progress since it updates once per month with usually less than 20 pages each time, I will give it a -1. Other than that, this manga does deserve a solid 9 for overall. Content and boobs!)

Demon Oneechan! Where are you at? Please let me lie on your legs and pick my ears with your tentacles... o.O
