As you can see in the picture, Ashley Ohno is a short, blonde, blue-eyed beauty. She is a tax accountant with a strong knowledge of publishing, and she comes to the protagonist Izuki's apartment. Because she looks so young, Izuki was confused when he first saw Ashley and wondered if she was really a tax accountant. She is a sadistic character, and she seduces Izuki and her friend, Haruto Fuwa, a light novel writer. She is cute, but her real age is older.

One of the characteristics of Ohno Ashley is that she bewitches people with her seductive and cute devilish character, but her true essence is that she increases the expenses of writers and reduces the income she applies for to the tax office. Novelists have fewer necessary expenses than other self-employed people, so it is difficult for expenses to increase, but Ashley deliberately pays attention to small expenses and tries to make them expenses. Although she looks young, she is a skilled tax accountant.

Oono Ashley is a highly skilled tax accountant, but she also likes to search through the writer's room and pry into his affairs in order to increase his expenses. In particular, Izuki and Haruto's light novels have a lot of beautiful girls and erotic elements, so there are shady games and the like all over the room, but she has a sadistic side to her, making Izuki and Haruto explain the contents one by one, tiring them out. Ashley's hobby is to tire out writers, so you can see how sadistic she is.

Izuki is strangely diligent, keeping accurate records of all his expenses. Ashley asks Izuki, "What about expenses other than books?" to which Izuki responds, "I only expense things I bought as reference material." Ashley's response to that really shows the character of Ohno Ashley.

"That's right... she's a good girl... and I love turning good girls like her into evil girls," Ashley said. With these words, Ashley began her intense investigation, forcing Izuki to explain in detail everything from the figurines on display in his room to erotic games and even the contents of online shopping items, leaving him exhausted by the evening. However, her skill was so impressive that Izuki's tax strategy was perfect, and he was at her mercy. Seeing Izuki like that, Ashley said, "Hehe... leave it to me."

Ashley liked Izuki, but she seemed to like Haruto even more, and she revealed that she had about 100 erotic games at home, causing trouble for Haruto. Haruto makes the excuse that he bought the erotic game to study, but Ashley counters with, "Haruto, you like maids, don't you?... Especially the submissive type who are modest and always support you quietly from the shadows...", leaving Haruto feeling embarrassed.

Ashley's house is in the same house as her office and living space, and while her office is clean, her living space is a messy mess full of cockroaches. So, they hire Izuki's younger brother, Chihiro, as a part-timer to clean the living space. Chihiro is a professional housekeeper and is good at both cooking and cleaning, so he is an excellent younger brother who is loved by many characters. With Chihiro's help, the room was cleaned up in no time.

The second half of the fourth episode of the anime was mostly Ashley's, but after seducing Izuki and Haruto, the ending was not the usual ending theme, but a song by Ashley. The title of Ashley's song is "Mistress of the Sixth Sense". It's Ashley's character song, but it's a good song that captures Ashley's provocative feeling, and it may be the best song in Imouto Sae. It's available on YouTube, so it's a song I definitely recommend you listen to.

Ashley Ohno's voice actress is Manami Numakura, who played Takao in "Arpeggio of Blue Steel" and Takechi Otoya in "Akuma no Riddle". Ashley is a character with a completely different feel from Takao and Otoya mentioned above, so just listening to her voice, I couldn't imagine that it was the same person playing her. "Mistress of the Sixth Sense" was a really good song, and I think Numakubo is a voice actress who can sing as well as a professional singer.
【All You Need Is a Little Sister. 】Ashley Ohno was 32 years old!

Oono Ashley has the appearance of a beautiful girl character, but she is a skilled lawyer and is 32 years old. She doesn't look 32 at all, but the gap between her age and appearance is also good. Even though she is 32 years old, she calls Izuki her big brother and seduces maid-loving Haruto, making her irresistible for fans of sadistic characters. She is a very unique sadistic character, so I hope she will go on a rampage again if there is a second season of the anime.
