"All You Need Is a Little Sister" is a light novel published by Gagaga Bunko (Shogakukan) and was very popular as an anime in the fall of 2017. The story revolves around the protagonist, Hashima Itsuki, a light novel writer, and many beautiful girls who appear and lead a fun daily life. However, Itsuki is a strong pervert who loves his younger sister and falls in love with his imaginary sister even though he doesn't have a real sister, and doesn't pay any attention to the beautiful girls around him. As a result, his light novels often have innovative settings, such as the sister appearing completely naked, and he has gained a passionate fan base. Here, we will introduce Hashima Chihiro, the stepbrother of this outrageous protagonist, Hashima Itsuki.

Hashima Chihiro is Izuki's stepbrother, and unlike Izuki, he is well-behaved and has no quirks. He is a good boy who worries about Izuki, who lives separately from him, and always comes to Izuki's apartment to take care of him. Izuki also treats Chihiro like a real brother, and although they are step-siblings, they get along well. They also get along well with the heroine Kani Nayuta, Shirakawa Miyako, and Izuki's friend Fuwa Haruto, and have fun together.

The protagonist, Izuki, is surprisingly meticulous, and his room is neat and tidy, but that's mostly thanks to Chihiro. Chihiro is good at housework, cleaning, and cooking, and she often makes delicious-looking food for everyone. Izuki also highly values Chihiro's potential, even though he is her stepbrother, and even Izuki, who likes younger sisters, claims that Chihiro is far better than Haruto's sister.

Chihiro is invited by the beautiful (or is it a pretty?) tax accountant, Ohno Ashley, to work part-time at her tax office, and she decides to go. However, what she is supposed to do is to clean Ashley's room, and even Chihiro is surprised at how badly it is trashed. However, Chihiro, who is good at housekeeping, says, "Can I get serious?" and cleans up the trashed room with overwhelming skill. Her cockroach extermination skills are particularly professional, and she kills several with the same sense as in a battle anime.

The truth is revealed at Ashley Ohno's house, but it turns out that Chihiro is actually a girl. Everyone except Izuki and the people in the publishing industry knows that Chihiro is a girl, but she keeps it a secret from Izuki that she is her sister. If Izuki were to find out that Chihiro was actually his sister, something ridiculous might happen, so just in case, he was acting like a boy. By the way, she is a first year high school student and 16 years old.

The voice actor for Hashima Chihiro is Yamamoto Nozomi, who also played Kusunoki Yukimura in "Haganai" and Yurie Sigtuna in "Absolute Duo". Yukimura and Yurie had cooler voices, so they gave a very different impression from Chihiro. Yurie from Abduo is my favorite character, but just listening to her voice, I didn't think Yamamoto was playing her.

We finally found out that Chihiro is a girl, and the last episode ended with Chihiro wondering whether to tell Izuki that she is not a brother but a sister, so I really hope there will be a second season. As an anime fan, I would be a little sad if Izuki Sae Ireba ended there, so I'm looking forward to the second season. I also want to see what happens to Izuki, Chihiro, and the heroines surrounding them.
