IS THIS THE END FOR KENJIRO TOKI’S CAREER .. .?! It’s a new year, and the anime version of Itsuki’s All About My Little Sister is about to be announced…but when a bored Itsuki is poking around for mentions of himself online, he discovers a tweet revealing the anime adaptation ahead of schedule. Who broke the embargo? None other than Gift Publishing’s official website! The fallout destroys Ituski’s and the anime staff’s trust in GF Bunko— who will take responsibility, and how? And as Itsuki and Toki wrestle with the anime, Haruto, Miyako, and GF’s latest crop of new writers are busy with their own lives…

ITSUKI HAS FOUND THE PERFECT PSEUDO LITTLE SISTER-BUT WHAT ABOUT HIS REAL ONE? Following Ui Aioi’s debut, the rest of the winners in the 15th New Writers Contest see their books hit the market. Aoba Kasamatsu, never shy about discussing the inspiration Nayuta gave her, finally manages to launch her novel as well…only to see it battered by a storm of bad reviews. Recalling his own debut-era troubles, Itsuki steps up to offer support-but meanwhile, his anime is launching soon, and it’s just one crisis after another. With Miyako getting serious about her job hunt and Chihiro gaining some new rivals (who are even worse than the robo-vac), this epic romcom is bursting with action (and little sisters)!

A SISTER WAS ALL HE NEEDED…OR WAS IT? At long last, Itsuki and the gang are aware of the major identity crisis Chihiro has been facing. Having finally learned the truth, Itsuki seems to gladly accept it-and before long, he’s flirting with Nayuta while doting on Chihiro like a classic big brother. Between the success of All About My Little Sister’s anime adaptation and Itsuki’s fame at a convention in Taiwan, he’s enjoying the good life as an accomplished author. Meanwhile, Chihiro is about to experience a new story of her own…but is everything as rosy as it seems?

Even if they have a breakout as an author, marry the girl they love, and become a dad, people can’t change their stripes that easily (especially if they write novels for a living)—Itsuki Hashima is still writing and as wild as ever. Meanwhile, as his wife lovingly watches over him, his little sister Chihiro is growing increasingly tired of her unrequited love. Itsuki, Chihiro, Miyako, Haruto, Nayuta, Ashley, Kaizu, Kaiko, Setsuna, Nadeshiko—they’ve all changed (or not changed) to varying degrees over time, but what does the future have in store for them? The popular romcom ensemble series reaches its conclusion!

Itsuki Hashima is a novelist who's hopelessly enamored with the idea of little sisters and is constantly surrounded by colorful characters. A world class genius and love-guru who's beauty almost seems a waste on her. A girl who's constantly troubled by her friendships, love interests, and can't even find refuge in her dreams. A ridiculously talented illustrator. Each of them have as many problems and worries as the next and they never have a dull day together as they play games, travel, and work together. From the same author of the famous I Don't Have Many Friends, Yomi Hirasaka!

SWORDS AND SORCERY! PSYCHIC BATTLES?! MAGICAL GIRLS?!?! Tired and unfulfilled by his dead-end job, Sasaki decides to adopt Peeps, an adorable pet Java sparrow. Peeps, however, is really Piercarlo, a powerful sage from another world! After Peeps bestows Sasaki with magic and the ability to cross worlds, the two decide to export household items for profit in pursuit of a leisurely lifestyle. But when Sasaki’s new magic gets him mixed up in a whole other kind of supernatural struggle back in Japan, will it destroy his chances at realizing the relaxing life of his dreams?

LUCRATIVE ALLIANCES AND DIRTY DEALS… Sasaki’s pet bird (and otherworld sage) Peeps has gifted him with powerful magic and the ability to cross between worlds, all to game the multidimensional system and live the good life. Due to unforeseen circumstances on both sides, though, things aren’t going as planned. Sasaki’s job as a government psychic isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, and with a magical girl out for blood, a neighbor giving in to dark temptations, and a former enemy changing sides, Sasaki and Peeps are looking at a big traffic jam on their road to success!

Sasaki and his pet bird (and otherworld sage), Peeps, continue to leap across worlds, trading goods for a profit. Thanks to a little help from Futarishizuka, they’ve found a way to exchange otherworld valuables for modern currency, and Sasaki has been practicing his spells, making him unstoppable against psychics and magical girls. All that’s left is to make as much money as they can, retire, and start relaxing—but that won’t be so easy. In Peeps’s world, the dispute over succession begins in earnest, and back home, the psychic battles never stop. Not to mention Sasaki’s neighbor, who finds herself caught up in an angels vs. demons death game...As worlds collide, Sasaki is in for even more chaos!

When Sasaki brightens up his tired corporate life by buying a pet sparrow, he never imagined the bird would actually be a reincarnated sage from another world! With his new avian roommate teaching him all sorts of magic tricks, could this be Sasaki’s chance to escape his droll office job?

OCTODRAGON, HORROR OF THE DEEP! Thanks to Peeps getting a little lost in the sauce, the whole world has found out about the base where Sasaki and Futarishizuka were keeping Lady Elsa. When Sasaki’s various acquaintances show up there looking for him, bullets and magic fly as the carefully built boundaries in his life come crashing down. Meanwhile, Sasaki gets a new assignment—dealing with a giant sea monster in the north Pacific! Between this rampaging octodragon(?) and distressing new developments in the proxy war, can Peeps and his exhausted owner manage to save Japan and—more importantly—get some rest?

Writer versus artist! With Itsuki Hashima’s novel series All About My Little Sister being awarded both an anime and a manga adaptation, it’s full-steam ahead for his brand name! But Kaiko Mikuniyama, the artist selected by unanimous vote to handle the manga adaptation, has an unbelievable secret—one that develops into a full-fledged fracas that sucks in Puriketsu, Nayuta Kani, and even totally normal college student Miyako Shirakawa. Will Itsuki manage to rider the mixed-media wave and keep his sanity in the process? And are changes on the horizon for his relationship with Nayuta…?

Working hard or hardly working? Miyako has gotten a part-time job in GF Bunko’s editorial department, thanks to the recommendation of Itsuki’s editor, Toki, but she had no idea how much work it would entail. Wrangling manuscripts from troublemaking authors, modeling for manga (in the nude), providing inspiration for Nayuta (also in the nude), drinking parties, ridiculous demands from authors and editors…How will she hold up?!

Nayuta Kani gets serious. Itsuki and his friends want to believe they would never let confessions of love affect their relationships with one another. But beneath the surface, confessions change everything…Matters of the heart can alter the flow of a story, sweeping other characters up in the tide. Itsuki’s anime project is also making waves, but rather than add a refreshing twist to his life, it threatens to swallow him whole. Meanwhile, on a distant shore, Puriketsu continues his search for the girl with the “ass of the millennium.” Little does he know that a new development is about to flood his well of inspiration…!

A new relationship begins. Itsuki Hashima and Nayuta Kani are now officially a couple, finding success in both love and work. This new era brings changes to not only them but Chihiro, Miyako, Haruto, and (for some reason) Itsuki’s tax accountant, Ashley. Chihiro, meanwhile, has a new rival to deal with, while Haruto gets the full-court press from Ui Aioi, a beautiful rookie novelist who adores him. With Christmas bells ringing in the background, it’s a new season for the whole ensemble—but as they say, the more things change, the more they stay the same…

THE GRAND ADVENTURES OF A MAN AND HIS BIRD—DIMENSION HOPPING BETWEEN WORLDS! "...How did I end up working for a secret government department that essentially functions as a psychic police force?! I only wanted to save that woman from a thug... Peeps, didn’t you say there’s no magic here?" "I did. But perhaps this world possesses something similar to magic that operates under a different set of rules." "Haah...I wish I could just focus on eating French’s food and learning teleportation magic and doing business with the Hermann Trading Company. At least the other world seems pretty peaceful—right?"

A VERY UNRELAXING VACATION! Life in Japan is hectic as always for Sasaki, even when he finally scores some time off work. With their apartment complex in ruins, he and his neighbor must now find new places to live. And as if that isn’t stressful enough, a riot breaks out right next to Miss Hoshizaki’s condo, so of course Sasaki and Futarishizuka come to the rescue…in disguise?! Meanwhile, in the otherworld, the succession dispute takes a drastic turn when Prince Lewis launches an offensive against the Ohgen Empire, forcing Sasaki and Peeps to go undercover to save Herz. When exactly are they supposed to relax again?

TROUBLE FROM BEYOND THE STARS! With the Herzian succession dispute now settled, Sasaki and Peeps head back to modern Japan just in time for a new case at the bureau. Along with Futarishizuka and Hoshizaki, Sasaki is tasked with investigating a series of recent UFO sightings, and for once the assignment appears to have nothing to do with the otherworld. Exhausted from their earlier ordeals and lacking clues, the crew decide to take it slow and leave the heavy lifting to the experts. But for better or worse, they seem destined to wind up in the spotlight, as yet another powerful faction explodes onto the scene!

PLAYING HOUSE TO SAVE THE WORLD! The alien behind the recent UFO trouble, nicknamed Type Twelve, insists on forming a pretend family with Sasaki and the others to help curb her loneliness. While she is beginning to see value in human civilization, Sasaki and Futarishizuka are still hoping to send her home ASAP. At the same time, a suspicious website invites those involved in the proxy war to duke it out on a remote island. It may seem like our heroes are just goofing off, but the fight for humanity’s future rages on. This middle-aged man and his pet Java sparrow can’t take it easy yet!

Sasaki & Peeps is a manga series that combines isekai elements and slice-of-life storytelling in a tale about a reincarnated sage providing magical assistance to an everyday office worker.

Sasaki and Peeps is a fun mixture of isekai (another world) and slice-of-life with a story that goes back and forth between the real and fantasy worlds, featuring an older salaryman protagonist unlike any other seen in a Yen On series!

After giving up on school, Type Twelve moves on to her next fixation—the internet! Her passion for online popularity quickly sparks a family-wide view count competition. But while this might sound like a fun diversion, there's more at stake than just self-esteem—whoever comes in last will have to grant one request from the winner. If he doesn't want anyone to upend his life, Sasaki will have to take this little game very seriously. Meanwhile, the neighbor makes her digital debut…as a VTuber!

War has broken out between the Kingdom of Herz and the Ohgen Empire…which means it’s back to work for Sasaki! From procuring supplies for Viscount Müller to negotiating deals with the Kepler Company—not to mention Peeps putting him through the wringer with advanced magic lessons—he’s never been busier. What happened to living the good life in the otherworld?! Maybe he’ll finally get the hang of that teleportation spell, at least…
