"My Little Sister is My Little Sister, But She's Not My Little Sister" is a light novel by Seiji Ebisu, published since August 2016. Its abbreviation is "Imoimo." The protagonist, Yu Nagami, 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, Suzuka Nagami, 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 triggers a change in his sister, who has always been strict with herself...?! The anime adaptation began airing in October 2018 and has become a hot topic as a "love comedy about a clumsy brother and sister who connect through light novels." This time, we'll introduce Esaka, a college student who works at a bookstore and appears in "My Little Sister is My Little Sister, But She's Not My Little Sister."

Esaka-san is the daughter of Maruneko Bookstore, where Nagami Yu, the protagonist of "My Little Sister is My Little Sister, But She's Not My Little Sister," works part-time. Her twin-tailed hair makes her look young, but she's actually a college student. She's what's commonly known as a "legal loli." She calls Yu "Nagamin" and seems to often play around and tease him.

Esaka-san is the daughter of Maruneko Bookstore and helps out there, but she's a self-indulgent slacker. He's a senior at the store, mainly working the cash register, but he's apparently always slacking off. His biggest pet peeve is being "busy."

Esaka-san is a huge fan of illustrator Ahegao W Peace. This is the first work written by Yu Nagami's younger sister, Suzuka Nagami, under the name Towa no Chikai, titled "The Story of a Little Sister Who Loves Her Big Brother Too Much, and Gets in Trouble." " is illustrated by Ahegao W Peace Sensei, but it seems people are only looking at Ahegao W Peace Sensei's illustrations without reading the text.

 

Esaka-san's voice actor in the anime version is Ayumi Mano
