Please understand, Akina.
There's something I have to do.
Aki-oniichan, tell me.
What are you trying to do?
I can't tell you.
But know this:
I love you, Akina.
That's why I'm going.
I'm not going because the organisation ordered me to.
I want to go.
I'm doing this to protect you, the one thing more precious to me than anything in the world.
Onii-chan.
The Arc de Triomphe was built to welcome soldiers home from battle.
Akina.
To me, you are my Arc de Triomphe.
To you, my Onii-chan, who will return home from battle,
I am an Arc?
That's right.
And you and I will no longer be siblings, but lovers.
We will proudly tell the world...
...that we are in love!
But many months later, Akio had not returned.
Akina counted each day to victory on her fingers,
but Akio did not return.
Akina jumped on the transcontinental railway...
...and headed toward the far north, where her beloved brother Akio was.

"Tales of Forbidden Love."
"The Champs-Élysées of Tears."
It's amazing.
The way Akio's thoughts toward Akina are portrayed is especially impressive.
Wait.
What if this isn't just fiction?
We can't do this.
God is watching us.
I don't care if He's watching.
No, I want Him to watch.
I want God to see how much we love each other.
Ah, forgive us Lord.
Not forgiven!
I have to find out whether Akito really has a sister complex or not.
Let's love the way we want, everyone is cuter!

My goodness, when did Akiko make this hug pillow?
Is that... a hug pillow of Akiko-san?
To make a hug pillow of his sister, does Akito really have...
...a sister complex?
Oh?
Jinno-san?
Ah, yes!
Here's some tea for you.
Ah, thank you.
I see.
So you work with Akito.
Thanks for taking care of him.
No, not at all.
I wanted to visit his home and give him some encouragement.
Oh, I brought these cakes for everyone.
Thank you very much.
I'll serve them.
Ah, thanks.
Hey, Gingin, do you know what sort of work Aki does?
I wonder.
I didn't directly introduce him to his job.
Where is your sister, Akiko-san?
She's gone shopping, but she'll be back soon.
I-I see.
Ah, everyone, please help yourselves to the cake.
Thank you.
Oh?
Jinno-san.
You're not here just to provide encouragement.
You can tell?
But of course.
It's written all over your face.
Actually, I have something I want to ask about Akito-kun.
Oh?
He must have done something bad.
It's not really about something he's done, but...
I already know what you're thinking.
Jinno-san, you're a stunning beauty.
It's no surprise that he'd try to pull something.
Or rather...
...it would be rude to get excited from looking at someone as beautiful as you and not do anything.
I've actually been aroused since I first laid eyes on you.
If we get the chance...
This is my first time.
I'll let you experience this as many times as you want from now on.
Did I get it right?
I'm so sorry.
Our president is a strange kind of person.
Don't worry about it too much.
I see.
No, no.
Jinno-san's expression looked a little too serious for the occasion.
I thought I could make her feel less nervous by joking around.
Get it?
That looked more like sexual harassment.
Getting back to the main topic.
I have something I want to ask all of you.
Do any of you think Akito-kun has a huge sister complex?
Yes, I do.
I do.
I know, right?
He totally does, right?
Just so we're clear...
The fact that Himenokouji Akito has a sister complex is more certain than the first law of thermodynamics.
It's a universal truth.
There's no need to go out of your way to confirm it.
That's exactly the way it is.
He watches over and nurses his sister when she's sick.
He even carries all of the bags for his sister when she's tired.
And that's just scratching the surface.
Huh?
To him, the world is divided cleanly into two divisions:
his sister, and everything else that's not related to his sister.
What what what?
Right.
I know, right?
I think it's a great thing to be kind to your sister.
But he has such a huge sister complex that he's crossing into the danger zone.
You got that right.
That's right.
I guess anyone can draw the same conclusion from looking at him.
That's right.
He's actually a person with a strange sexual preference.
What are you all saying?
I don't have a sister complex in the slightest.
No way.
Why don't you just admit it already?
No matter how you look at it-from anyone's point of view-
you have a massive sister complex.
There!
It really looks that way, Akito-kun.
You really have a sister complex.
You should just admit it.
I'm home!
Oh?
Do we have a guest?
Then why don't we do this?
It's simple.
Why don't you just ask her yourself?
Welcome home, Akiko.
This is Jinno Kaoruko-san.
The one I mentioned I work with.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you for always looking out for my brother.
No, no, the pleasure is all mine.
Jinno-san has something she wants to ask you.
Something to ask me?
Um, I think Akito has a huge sister complex.
Akiko-san, do you think so too?
No, I don't think that's the case at all.
Eh?
Akito-kun has already gone so far in that direction,
and yet you still deny it?
You don't have to be so surprised.
If Onii-chan really did have a huge sister complex and thought of me as someone he could fall in love with,
I don't think there's anything in the world that could make me happier.

Sure, what is it?
Akiko-san, could it be that you have... a massive brother complex?
Yes!
That's exactly right!
Being that blunt about it...
My brother complex is a part of my identity and a gift from God.
Ever since I was born, I have loved my Onii-chan.
In other words, you see Akito-kun as a member of the opposite sex?
Of course I do.
Arc-
Arc de Triomphe!
Onii-chan, do you actually have a sister complex and see me as a woman?
Not at all.
Onii-chan, I think you should try harder and build your sister complex.
Sorry. Not happening.
Is that something you get from trying hard?
Beats me.
Please become someone that sees no one but me so that we may cross deep into the danger zone.
Sorry. Not happening.
Onii-chan, you meanie.
I wouldn't call him a meanie; that was the normal response.
I know, right?
But, as a sister, I love you.
More than anyone.
Really?
Then please marry me now.
Sorry. Not happening.
Then, instead of that, swear your eternal love for me to God.
No, you're saying the same thing.
I see.
Then how about-
No, I'm not going to give you a hug.
I won't pat you on the head, either.
How could you get ahead of me and shut down all of my choices?
Onii-chan, you're a terrible person.
As penance, come and sleep with me in my room tonight.
All right, fine.
I won't let you sleep tonight.
Um... um... if you say it so suddenly, my heart isn't prepared...
I could do it right here, too.
Right here?!
When did you become so assertive?
But it's my first time.
I don't know if I can endure Onii-chan's intensity.
Akiko, you're as cute as ever.
From the way you said that,
you just made fun of a maiden's pure heart, didn't you?
Geez!
Damn you! Damn you! Damn you! Damn you!
No matter how you look at it, they look like a silly couple.
They're like two sides of the same coin.
Do we have no choice but to give up on Akito?
The brother has a sister complex,
and the sister has a brother complex.
This is bad.
This is really bad.
Ow, it hurts. Can you stop?
Stop it please.
Looks like we were too naïve.
The main reason we moved into this dorm...
...was to stop those two from spending any time alone together,
so they don't cross the line.
Divided only by a thin wall at a cheap motel, Akina slept.
When he thought of the sister that came all the way to the far north to find him,
Akio could scarcely contain his feelings.
Onii-chan.
A visit in the middle of the night...
What?
I have to sleep in a separate room from Onii-chan?
Yes.
The two of you are going to sleep in separate rooms starting today.
Impossible!
Ma
It's my revolution.
yo
Chi
It's the globally anticipated little sister revolution!
ki
Um, excuse me.
I'm afraid I don't really understand what you mean by us having to sleep in separate rooms.
If anything, the arrangement up to now has been strange.
No matter how well you two get along,
it's strange for a brother and sister to be sleeping in the same room at your age.
But Onii-chan and I are the only siblings we have,
the only family we have,
and it's been years!
If you were a normal little sister, I wouldn't mind stepping back and letting you have your way.
But we already know about your brother complex.
Furthermore, we know how far you'd go.
You and Himenokouji Akito should sleep in different rooms.
Got it?
Um, um.
Right!
I am the dormitory manager.
I should have the right to stay in the manager's room.
The one who's doing the managerial work is Akito, not you.
Oh, yeah...
We need to hire a new dormitory manager, too.
We've been having Himenokouji Akito shoulder all the responsibilities thus far.
But finding a proper manager is the normal way of doing things.
No way.
Hey, listen!
I'm going to be living with my Onii-chan soon.
Oh, that's great.
You've been talking about it every day for the last six years.
That's right.
Strictly speaking, it's been 5 years, 11 months, 24 days, 6 hours and 32 minutes.
Congratulations, Akiko-san.
Congratulations on having your wish granted.
Thank you very much!
Thinking back, it was just difficulty after difficulty.
Every day, not only did I not forget about Onii-chan,
but my feelings built up day after day.
I won't leave Onii-chan's side ever again.
We'll be all lovey-dovey.
And we'll stick to each other.
Stick?
Do you like natto?
I like it too!
Siblings have to get together and become one.
They should live under the same roof.
And eat at the same dinner table.
Yes!
My heart and body will become one with Onii-chan!
Hmph!
It's obvious that Onii-chan and I are in love with each other.
I won't leave Onii-chan's side no matter what you say.
Even Onii-chan won't agree with this ruthless and irrational demand to force us to stay in different rooms.
There's no way he would.
Well, none of us have any intention of forcing you to do so.
Himenokouji Akito, I'll let you decide what to do.
Just tell us your decision.
Onii-chan.
Akiko is more important to me than anything.
Onii-chan~
Therefore, Akiko and I will move into separate rooms.
Let's get moving, then.
Can all of you give me a hand?
What's the meaning of this?
Onii-chan, you traitor.
Akiko is angry!
Akiko is more angry than she has ever been!
If you keep this up, I won't listen to you again for the rest of my life.
I'll disavow our relationship as siblings!
Sorry! I lied.
I went too far!
I just got caught up in what I was saying.
I didn't mean it!
Onii-chan, you dummy.
You meanie!
I really don't care about you any more!
Isn't it well done?
Will you wear this and help start a little sister revolution?
What do you think of this Yes-Yes pillow?
I'd say yes to you any time, Onii-chan!
Screen 8
"Little Sister"
I think Onii-chan would enjoy this movie!
Don't you think the title has a nice ring to it?
It sounds like Siscon.
It sort of seems like we're a couple that just started going out.
Akiko?
Hey!
I guess she cried herself to sleep.
You're awake, aren't you, Akiko?
No, I'm sleeping.
My heartless Onii-chan made me cry a lot today,
but I believed he would come and comfort me,
so I've been on standby all this time.
Can't you put that effort into something else?
All of my efforts are dedicated to make Onii-chan dote on me!
That's not something you should be declaring so unashamedly.
No, I will declare it unashamedly.
Onii-chan is the centre that my life revolves around.
People are the happiest when they live the life they want.
It sounds like you said something really profound,
but I won't be fooled.
But, Akiko...
It's okay.
I love you.
Good night, Akiko.
After a night's rest, I think I understand a little now.
I understand how you felt when you said we should live separately.
I see.
Onii-chan is the type to value the current situation, right?
Things that are too easily obtained are boring.
The harder it is to get something, the more exciting it is.
That's what you were thinking, right?
Akiko?
The tension as you avoid being seen while sneaking into my room...
The thrill will make our meetings that much more exciting.
I understand it fully now.
Hey, everyone.
Come over here.
The new manager is here.
The new manager as of now.
Really?
You found someone already?
I'm the type of woman that gets things done.
I wish you wouldn't decide these things on your own.
I won't accept any manager unless he's less than 150cm tall,
weighs less than 30kg and looks cute.
For me, I want someone who will work diligently,
is reliable and is someone you wouldn't feel uneasy living with in the same building.
Then for me, I would like a woman if possible.
Hey now, you can't be so picky.
Well then, we're in luck.
It's a complete coincidence,
but the new manager is someone that meets all of your requirements.
On top of that, she's from quite the famous family in Japan,
and she has credits from overseas universities.
Furthermore, she even presented her own thesis at a conference when she was 10.
She's what you would call a genius.
Does such a perfect person actually exist?
And would she be willing to be the manager of this run-down student dormitory?
Well, she said she wanted to do it herself.
So I guess it's fine.
Um, President.
Could it be that the new manager is...
Oh, speak of the devil.
Um, excuse me.
Nice to meet you.
I see.
She's definitely cute.
She's quite young.
She's a kid no matter how you look at her!
I'm still inexperienced, but I'll try my best to work for all of you.
I look forward to living with you.
Let me introduce her.
As of today, our new dormitory manager...
Ah, right.
Himenokouji Akito, you know her quite well, don't you?
I'm Takanomiya Alisa.
Takanomiya?
That's the name of the family that Onii-chan was staying with until recently.
I'm looking forward to living with you again, Akito-niisama.
Uh, yeah... me too.
By the way, just what is your relationship with this girl?
Um, about that...
Yes!
Alisa is Akito-niisama's fiancée.
