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!

Sister-obsessed author Itsuki Hashima is embroiled in a bitter struggle with his popular series Sisterly Combat. Between video games and mixed baths and cherry blossom viewing and making up excuses for his editor, he's slowly but surely making progress on his manuscript. Somehow, he and his unique collection of friends--Nayuta Kani, Puriketsu, Miyako Shirokawa, and his little brother Chihiro--manage to stumble through life together. And not only that, but his friend Haruto's series has finally gotten an anime!

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…

Recent high school transfer student Hasegawa Kodaka is pathetically inept at making friends. Kodaka is an outcast, with his natural blond hair which he inherited from his deceased English mother, and his unpleasant, fierce gaze. When he comes across the brash loner Mikazuki Yozora, who typically chats with her imaginary friend, the two outsiders become the unlikeliest of allies.Realizing that they have no hope of a normal social life, the two rejects decide to form a group called 'The Neighbour's Club' in order to make friends and maybe even learn a thing or two about social skills. As luck would have it, five new members, each more socially awkward than the next, join the club. Will these quirky misfits ever make normal friends or are they all doomed to social failure?
