"My Little Sister is My Little Sister, But She's Not My Little Sister" is a light novel by Ebisu Seiji that has been published since August 2016. Its abbreviation is "Imoimo." The protagonist, Nagami Yu, a high school student aspiring to become a light novel writer, repeatedly submits his work to new writer awards, but always fails first round. One day, Yu's younger sister, Nagami Suzuka, whimsically submits a work (a love comedy about a brother and sister) that wins the Light Novel Grand Prize. However, considering that their strict father won't approve of it, Yu decides to write in Suzuka's place as a writer, Towa no Chikai. Meanwhile, this incident sparks a change in his sister Suzuka, who has always been strict with herself...?! The anime adaptation began airing in October 2018 and has been a hot topic as a "love comedy about a clumsy brother and sister who connect through light novels." Here, we'll introduce our own ranking of the most famous quotes from "My Little Sister is My Little Sister, But She's Not My Little Sister."

Nagami Yu's younger sister, Nagami Suzuka, sent him a piece of work on a whim, winning the grand prize and setting up his debut as light novel author, Towa no Chikai. Suzuka wanted many people to read her work. However, because Yu and Suzuka's father are strict people and part-time work is prohibited at Suzuka's school, she decided that it would be difficult for her to make her debut. So she asked Yu to work as Towa no Chikai. Suzuka seems to have said that because Yu is a light novel otaku, he is knowledgeable about the industry and has no one else she can rely on, so she can only ask Yu. However, Yu's dream is to become a light novel author, and he says he feels hesitant to debut with someone else's work. Still, when he saw his sister's teary-eyed request, he said, "Yeah! I get it! Leave the agent to me!" This is a famous quote that really shows how much Yu cares about his sister.

 

No. 9: "What is a panty shot?"

This story takes place after Nagami Yu's younger sister, Nagami Suzuka, wins an award as a light novel author, Towa no Chikai. While Yu will be acting as Towa no Chikai in his place, it is Suzuka who continues to write, and has immediately begun work on the second volume of her debut work, "The Story of a Little Sister Who Loves Her Big Brother Too Much and Gets in Trouble." Her editor, Shinozaki Reika, suggests that she strengthen the entertainment scenes. Reika suggests that she include "panty shots" in the entertainment scenes. However, Suzuka doesn't seem to know what "panty shots" are. So she goes to Yu directly and seriously asks, "What are panty shots?" Even after learning about "panty shots," it seems that Suzuka still doesn't understand why they can be considered entertainment. At school, Suzuka is an excellent student, serving as student council president, but this famous quote gives us a glimpse of her innocent side.

 

8th Place: "I'm ready to do anything to improve your work."

"This is the story of a little sister who loves her big brother so much that it's a problem," written by Nagami Suzuka under the pen name Towa no Chikai. When "Towa no Chikai" won the grand prize and her debut as a light novel author was confirmed. While wanting many people to read her work, due to various circumstances, Suzuka felt it would be difficult for her to call herself Towa no Chikai herself, so she asked her brother, Nagami Yu, to take the stage on her behalf. Yu was hesitant at first, but for his sister's sake, he decided to act as Towa no Chikai. His first experience as Towa no Chikai was attending the awards ceremony. There, he met Shinozaki Reika, Towa no Chikai's editor. Reika seemed a little off, asking, "Excuse me, but are you still a virgin?" and saying she was willing to sacrifice her body to improve the quality of his work. However, Reika also said, "You're a once-in-a-century talent. I'm pledging my life as an editor to deliver this work to people all over the world," and proclaiming, "I'm ready to do whatever it takes to improve your work." This quote shows Reika's charm as she approaches her work as a light novel editor with honesty and integrity in her own way.

 

No. 7: "Your body is more important!"

Nagami Suzuka, as light novel author Towa no Chikai, was writing the second volume of "This is the story of a little sister who loves her big brother too much and it's a problem." She receives advice that it would be better to add a new heroine, and although she tries to take that advice into account when writing, it doesn't seem to be going well. It seems that Suzuka didn't want to introduce a new heroine, but she wanted to write a story that people would find more interesting, so she forced herself to write the story, thinking that if people would find it more interesting with a new heroine, then she would. Suzuka was unable to sleep and was in pain as she wrote the story that introduced the new heroine. Seeing this, Nagami Yuu asks her to take a break and calm down. He then says, "The manuscript is important, but your health is even more important!" A famous quote brimming with kindness from a brother who cares for his sister.

 

6th Place: "If we lose, Towa no Chikai will retire from being a light novel writer!"

Nagami Yuu, Nagami Suzuka, and others participated in the doujin comic book sale, Comic Stage, for the first time. It was there that she met Kamisaka Haruna and Kamisaka Akino, members of the hugely popular doujin circle "Ambivalent." Haruna seems to view Ahegao W Peace Sensei as a rival, and when Ahegao W Peace Sensei illustrated "The Story of a Little Sister Who Loves Her Big Brother Too Much and Gets in Trouble," which Suzuka wrote as Towa no Chikai, Yu and the others were challenged to a fight. Haruna called Towa no Chikai's work "a creepy little sister thing" and "a boring work with no story that only aims to appeal to little sister fans." This angered Suzuka, who then proposed to create a doujinshi based on Towa no Chikai and have a competition to see which one would sell more. Suzuka agreed, declaring, "If we lose, Towa no Chikai will retire from being a light novel writer!" This was Haruna and Akino's first meeting, and it hinted at the start of a turbulent story.

 

5th Place: "Writing light novels is very important to me."

When Mai Himuro, the most beautiful girl in school, found out that Yu Nagami was acting as Towa no Chikai, Mai reveals that she's also a light novel author, working under the name Enryu Houra, and asks Yu for an autograph. Yu is surprised that such a popular author would ask for her autograph, but Yu retorts that she's a popular author herself. Mai was deeply moved by Towa no Chikai's debut work, "The Story of a Little Sister Who Loves Her Big Brother Too Much." Mai, who normally takes pride in her work, declares, "Writing light novels is very important to me. That's why I've worked hard to establish myself as a popular author. But one day, I met a writer who completely shattered my pride. That writer was Towa no Chikai, you!" Furthermore, she says that from now on, she will study Yu's private life as Towa no Chikai, and make the most of his work. For Yu, this was a shocking moment that the most beautiful girl in school would know who he is, and this quote shows that Mai, despite still being a high school student, takes pride in her work, brimming with Mai's charm.  

4th Place: "We'll Always Be Together!"

Suzuka Nagami asked Yu Nagami to accompany her to school cultural festivals as a research project for a doujinshi she was writing about a brother and sister who start dating and get cozy at the younger sister's school cultural festival. Yu decided to visit Suzuka's festival for the research. Suzuka and Yu seemed to be enjoying themselves, despite everything. Then, members of the drama club appeared. The two main characters had suddenly fallen ill, and they were searching for replacements. The roles were a prince and a princess. They asked her to appear only in the final scene, where the prince, her real brother, and his sister, the princess, confess their feelings. Suzuka immediately agreed to the role. Suzuka took to the stage, fully immersed in her role, and confessed her feelings. Yu responded, "I'm sorry I couldn't answer right away. I'm truly sorry. But I promise you this: We'll always be together!" After the play ended, Yu said that these words came out of his mouth naturally, even though he was completely immersed in his role. It's a famous quote that seems to express the relationship between Suzuka, who adores Yu, and Yu, who, no matter what, cares about his sister.

 

3rd Place: "I Love Your Work!"

Mai Himuro's editor changed, and she was told that the main character and other characters were weak. Mai's light novel was set to be adapted into an anime, but its popularity is currently declining, and the situation is such that the series may end if things continue as they are. Mai relentlessly presses Nagami Yu, who is known as Towa no Chikai, to see if he has a secret. However, Mai is unable to uncover the secret and is growing impatient. Hoping to find some help, Yu asks Nagami Suzuka how she writes her characters. Suzuka replies that she writes by becoming the character. Something clicked in Yu, and he visited Mai again, confidently saying, "You really need to become that person. That's the job of a professional writer." He continues, "I believe you can do it. I want to read the rest of your work!" and "I love your work!" Mai then seems to regain her motivation, saying, "That's not enough. I'll become you! I'll never let anyone say my characters are weak again!" These are Yu's famous words that helped Mai, who had lost her confidence, regain her confidence.

 

2nd Place: "Let's take this chance to get as affectionate as we can."

When Himuro Mai, also active as the light novel author Enryuu Hon, began to suspect that Nagami Yu was indeed the light novel author Towa no Chikai. Suzuka and Yu wanted to avoid revealing that Nagami Suzuka was in fact Towa no Chikai. So Suzuka came up with a plan: "My brother and I (Suzuka) will get all lovey-dovey." Since the work she was writing was about a younger sister, she thought that if she could make it seem like the author herself was crazy about her younger sister, it would dispel any suspicions. However, Suzuka actually had a crush on Yu, and she was planning to use this opportunity to get all lovey-dovey with him. After Yu agreed to her plan, Suzuka happily said, "Let's take this chance and get as lovey-dovey as we can." Although Suzuka can't honestly say that she wants to get cozy, she uses it as a strategy to get closer to Yu, and this quote gives us a glimpse of her cuteness.

 

No. 1: "Two Light Novel Authors, One Light Novelist!"

Nagami Suzuka was struggling to write a story featuring a new heroine. Suzuka, who doesn't really want to introduce a new heroine, seems to be working on her story without sleep, struggling to compose her work, but the deadline for the manuscript has already passed. Worried about her, Nagami Yu sees Suzuka so exhausted she's fallen asleep and tells her to take a break and calm down, but Suzuka refuses, insisting that writing an interesting story is more important than her own health. Furthermore, when Yu read the first volume and asked her what she thought of it, she replied, "It's not bad," and it seems Suzuka has been thinking about it ever since, desperately trying to write an interesting story. However, Yu was frustrated that Suzuka's work, which he said he wrote on a whim, was actually interesting, so he was just pretending to be strong and saying "It's not bad." However, Suzuka won't even listen to him, and he seems to be tormented, wondering if there's anything he can do to help her. So he pulls himself together by saying, "We're one light novel writer together! And more importantly, I've always been her big brother!" and begins desperately trying to put into words why Suzuka's work is so interesting. Yu somehow managed to put into words how fascinating Suzuka's work was. Suzuka responded, "I was seduced by the ultimate temptation," and finished writing an entire volume's worth of manuscript in a single day. This quote comes at a truly heartwarming moment, as the siblings work together to become light novel writers.
