Onii-chan!
I'm getting in too!
Don't come in!
Why?
I'm bathing by myself starting today.
Why?
We always take our bath together!
Well, I've always hated it!
You never wash your hair,
you always get soap in your eyes,
and you always get dizzy.
It's so annoying.
And it's not just during baths.
You're always so loud, you're scared of dogs,
you walk too slow, you grab my sleeve all the time...
I've had enough.
And it's so lame having to play with my little sister all the time.
Huh?
What's that?
Acting like the cool big brother?
I wash my hair all the time,
I love dogs,
and I walk pretty quickly!
Kiri...no?
What do you mean by "lame"?
There's not a single girl in the world who would ever think you're cool!
Come to think of it, you should be grateful for having such a cool and popular little sister!
Got it?
No...
What?
This... This bad-tempered girl can't be my sister!
There's no way my sister can be this-

Far back in my memories, I had been running

Your own selfish dreams are so big

little sister
There's no way my little sister is coming home
My sister, Kousaka Kirino, is...
a beautiful, smart, and athletic magazine model in her third year of middle school.
Kirino
We've always been on poor terms
Kirino
and mostly ignored each other.
But our relationship...
this past year...
has changed.
That's right.
It's already been a year since that day.
Time goes by so quickly.
Yoo-hoo, Ran-chin!
You might have heard it from Ayase, but I'm back!
Uh-huh. Yup.
What? It's not like that!
Yeah.
That's right.
Yeah.
Yo.
Yeah.
I'm staying here.
Right now, there's nothing going on until graduation.
Seriously?
Sorry for scaring you!
Tomorrow I have to go to school to register for re-admittance.
Huh?
Work?
Well, you know...
No way!
Sensei got married?
I had no idea! To who?
Well, tell me about it tomorrow!
Bye-bye!
A friend?
She must have been surprised.
You came back so suddenly-
Hi!
Who did you think it was?
Seriously?
It's Kirino!
All right.
Talk to you later.
How many people are you going to call?
I don't know.
I guess I could text people, but I'd rather talk to them.
Anyway, why are you watching me like that?
It's really creepy.
N-No reason.
If I drank my juice upstairs,
I'd have to come down to toss out the can, and what a pain that'd be.
Hold on.
Throw it away.
It's messy.
But that's your-
I don't want it.
I'll get fat.
Oh, Mayurin?
Kyou-chan, what's wrong?
Huh?
What is it?
You looked like you were in a bad mood, so I got a little worried.
I'm going through some things.
Can I ask you something?
Of course!
Um.
So you forced Kirino-chan to come back from her studies abroad,
she doesn't act any differently from before,
and you don't know what it means?
That's the general picture.
But it's not like there's no problem.
So you were looking forward to improving your relationship with Kirino-chan,
and you think it's weird that it hasn't?
N-No!
I half-expected this to destroy the relationship we've been building.
Over the past year,
we definitely started to form some kind of bond,
but I ignored what she wanted to do,
and I forced her to come back.
Therefore, I can't help it if she hates me.
I can't help it if she ignores me.
This is something I resigned myself to a long time ago.
However, she's treating me the same as she did before she left.
It... bothers me.
Your relationship won't be destroyed.
How do you know that?
Because you're kind and I know that for a fact.
You're really something.
I can't believe you can say that with a straight face.
But thanks.
You're very welcome.
By the way, Kyou-chan,
what about your other problems?
I can't tell you.
I see.
Well, let me know if there's anything I can do.
Sure.
Excuse me.
Kirino!
Yo.
Kirino!
Hold on, Ayase!
You're staying this time, right?
You won't leave without saying a word again, right?
Yeah.
I don't know what'll happen next year,
but I'm staying until graduation.
I'm so happy you came back.
So, so happy.
Thank you, Ayase.
I'm sorry I never contacted you.
Kirino!
Are you two lesbians?
No!
Ah.
Would gay be better then?
Kanako.
Be quiet.
Aren't you a little slimmer?
I guess so.
How was America?
When are you coming back to school?
Next week, I think.
I have a lot of things to catch up on this week.
Everybody was surprised to hear you'd come back.
Well, I thought it was kind of embarrassing.
I mean, obviously.
To come back after just three-
But I'm really happy to see everyone.
It's so good to be back!
But the movie just came out!
The guy snuck into the launch event and heard about it, so he tweeted it.
Ah, I want to go to America too!
Don't you think he was just speculating?
I mean, a third season with the Dark Witch...
Hey, what was it like?
I want to see the third season!
Hey.
Hey, Kuroneko-san!
What?
You're distracting.
Nothing, just saying your name.
If you don't have anything to say, don't bother me.
It's annoying.
This is weird.
This is the girl who gave me a kiss before I left.
Whenever I think about it, my heart starts racing like crazy!
Why isn't she even a little embarrassed after doing something like that?
If she keeps this up, I'll start wondering if it was all a dream!
That would make me such an idiot!
What if that girl really likes me?
...Kuroneko!
God, I really am an idiot!
What do I do?
If I don't clear this up...
Hey, Kuroneko!
Listen!
What is it already?
Keep it short.
It's about what happened behind school.
What exactly... was that?
Gokou-san! Gokou-san! Gokou-san!
Look at this!
The people on this forum are really praising our game!
See?
Look here!
"The game system was well done!"
That system was made by yours truly!
I did amazingly, didn't I?
She's sending me mixed signals.
What does Kuroneko think of me?
I like you.
I like you in the way your sister likes you.
What?
Hey, how much do you like me?
Huh?
What are you saying?
I gave you my number, but don't call me unless there's an emergency.
It's annoying.
Kirino, what are your plans for tomorrow?
I'm going to the Athletics Association.
They don't seem too upset, but I should apologise properly anyway.
I'll come too.
Dad, it's fine. I'm not a kid anymore.
You have to work, don't you?
I can take a day off.
I said it's fine!
Thanks for the food.
By the way, the publisher called too.
I have to go there too.
Maybe the day after tomorrow...
I'll come too!
Give it a rest.
You have to do these things properly if you want to get back to the way it was before.
Back to the way it was before, huh?
Therefore, we'll use the same well-received game system,
but completely revamp the story and graphics.
Was it really well-received?
Well, kind of...
I did some research on the net, and most of our players are male.
We should make the characters more appealing to a female demographic!
In other words, we should create more homosexual male characters!
Veto! Veto!
Is that all you want to do?
Yes.
What of it?
We don't want to change our demographic, we want to appeal to it.
So?
Why should I care?
Don't give me that!
But it's not fair! We always create games that Gokou-san likes!
This time we'll create a game that I like!
A game for me!
A game for I!
A game all for myself!
With tons of the butt fucking that I love!
Kousaka-senpai!
Say somethi-
He's not here today.
W-What?
I'm thirsty, all right?
Me too...
Here.
Are...
you tired?
I'm just busy.
Doing what?
Shut up!
Have you said hi to everybody yet?
Pretty much, yeah.
I see.
So everything's back to normal.
Don't you see you're annoying?
Is that so?
Well, sorry.
Hey.
What?
So you don't need life counseling anymore?
I wonder.
Throw it away.
Hey!
When do you plan to wake up, you idiot?
Hurry up and change.
The thing you've been waiting for: life counseling!
Huh?!
Akihabara!
I'm back!
Didn't you come here last week?
That was totally different!
I couldn't go shopping after just getting back from the airport.
What?
Come on, let's go!
Hey!
Stardust Witch Meruru is beginning!
She is no longer one of you!
She is Dark Witch Meruru!
Ready?
Special attack!
Meteor Impact!
Planet Burst!
Impact
The third season's gonna be awesome!
Is this epic or what?
This is amazing!
Meruru!
This is...
Is this it?
This is your first counseling after you come back?
You can only find it here today.
You should thank me for the honor of witnessing something legendary!
What's wrong with this idiot?
Plus, I prepared this for our trip here in Akihabara!
All the things I missed while I was in America!
Is that what you were so busy with late last night?
Yes!
Following the premiere of the Meruru Season 3 preview,
secret guest Hoshino Kurawa-san will perform the new opening theme, "Planet Burst"!
No way!
Check
Everything from here to there, please!
Huh?!
I have a good feeling about this!
Check
Naturally, she is a slave to her desires.
It's true that Kiririn is very impulsive.
I'm surprised that she has the money.
She got the royalties from "My City".
Since the anime caused a reprinting of the novels, she said she'd give back to anime.
I see.
Did she tell you this when she was making her list?
Something like that.
If that girl doesn't return to normal soon...
We'll meet next week, as usual!
What a great shopping trip!
Hey...
If you're going to shop like this, shouldn't you at least ask for delivery?
I did.
These are the last two.
Is that so?
Put them over there.
Well, that's that.
Kirino
Hey.
You can play this first.
I didn't buy that.
It's fine.
You worked hard today...
and it's the first anniversary of our life counseling...
But finish it by tonight, got it?
This looks more like my room!
My home!
My kingdom!
Thanks,
Onii-chan
Welcome home, Kirin-
Awesome!
So cute! Too cute!
She's beyond help!
Awesome!
Welcome home, Kirino-chan!
