Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })When 15-year-old orphan Wataru Minakami fails to get into the high school on which he has set his heart, and to which his best friend has gained admittance, he finds himself launched unwillingly onto a journey of discovery and self-discovery. Forced by circumstances and the enigmatic adults around him to a strange island community off the coast of Japan, Wataru finds a place has been held for him at a local school, and quarters at someplace called "Welcome House".When he arrives at Welcome House, though, he receives the biggest surprise yet — waiting there for him are a baker's dozen sisters he'd never known he had. And all of them, from 8-year-old Hinako to 16-year-old Sakuya, are eager and willing to lavish him with sisterly adoration.Wataru soon finds himself overwhelmed by the unconditional love he is given by his sisters, leading him into a spiral of doubt over his ability to return it in proportion, and over his worthiness at all to receive it. Strange hints of memory add to the mix, confusing him as to whether or not he does remember ever having sisters. And one of the sisters isn't a sister at all, but the agent of a mysterious person who wants to see the happy family reunion demolished as quickly as possible.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A quirky, low-key series that definitely isn't for adrenaline addicts, Sister Princess was based on one of the odder "dating simulation" games that are quite popular in Japan. Some of the atmosphere of the original game is still here (the sisters' affection can be almost incestuous at times), but the producers have moved beyond it to create a gentle, sweet story set in a kind of Magic Realism world and filled with enticing mystery. It is a "harem show" in the loosest sense of the term, but differences are refreshing, and the entire thing is played only for the mildest of comedy.The means and motives of the secret "villain" add a strange counterpoint of reality to offset the fantastic elements, but the blend works, and the final confrontation is surprisingly tense after the slow, low-energy buildup that takes you there.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Originally a series of light novels written by Sakurako Kimino (the writer of Strawberry Panic!), it was adapted into a manga series in 2001, followed by a game and two anime series. The first TV series aired in 2001, and was followed in 2002 by a sequel series called Sister Princess Repure.The North American release of the first season was originally licensed and dubbed by ADV Films. Discotek Media acquired the licensing rights to both seasons in April 2018. | |

Alpha Bitch | |
| Sister Princess / int_22a27b19 | comment |
Alpha Bitch: The Sister Princess games being what they are, when this trope is used at all it's downplayed. In the games, the head of Kaho's cheerleading squad is a girl with long brown hair who, when she is seen at all, is usually seen giving Kaho a lecture about Kaho's latest clumsy goof. However, since Kaho really is screwing up because Kaho can be rather clumsy, the girl's only real fault is that she's being too harsh about it and causing Kaho to cry, not that she's giving Kaho a lecture in the first place. In fact, this same girl can be seen encouraging Kaho on the occasions (mostly later in Kaho's route) where Kaho gets it right. | |

Verbal Tic: Shirayuki ends her sentences with "desu-no"; Aria is a bit of a crybaby, and whenever she utters the onomatopoeia "kusu" it means she's about to lose it. Haruka utters the onomatopoeia for "blush" when the situation calls for it. | |

Parental Abandonment: We never see anyone's parents for a significant chunk of the school year. The only adult around is Jeeves. Wataru asks Hinako where her mother and her father (assuming that she is lost) are when he first meets her to which she only replies with a shake of her head. | |

Reincarnation Romance | |
| Sister Princess / int_3016de81 | comment |
Reincarnation Romance: This is the reason Chikage's feelings towards her big brother are more than that of a sibling's: in a "past life", Chikage and Wataru were lovers, not brother and sister (although this is more "implied" than "directly stated," and more details are given in the PSX games). Unfortunately the reincarnation cycle screwed Chikage over in this life by reincarnating her into Wataru's little sister instead, presenting an obstacle to any possible rekindling of the romance. In the anime, Chikage takes this in stride and will patiently wait until her "next life" to try again, but in the PSX games, if the player pursues Chikage's "non-blood-related" route, it's possible for Chikage and her big brother to marry, since a "plot twist" reveals Chikage and her big brother aren't actually related after all. note This might be a Schrodinger's Gun: if you pursue anyone else's route but Chikage's, no mention is made of Chikage's past life at all, not even to the extent the anime hinted at it. So it might be possible that Chikage and her big brother are only reincarnated lovers if the player chooses Chikage's route; anyone else's route, and Chikage is just another sister, so the player can pursue someone else "guilt-free". | |

Butt-Monkey | |
| Sister Princess / int_47fea76b | comment |
Butt-Monkey: Sometimes Mami, sometimes Yamada, sometimes both in the same scene; they're frequently the target of slapstick humor and are usually completely disconnected from what main plot exists as well as any emotional or dramatic scenes. This is especially notable for Mami, as the series constantly foreshadows some ulterior motive but doesn't do anything with it until the last few episodes. | |

Paper-Thin Disguise Wataru sees right through Clover's disguise (Yotsuba), but plays along anyway. He even helps helps her get up during a chase sequence when she trips, then they "resume" the chase. Jeeves, with the multiple identities he assumes, is more successful in fooling Wataru, though just barely. | |

Friend-or-Idol Decision | |
| Sister Princess / int_4b32995a | comment |
Friend or Idol Decision: In this case, it is a sister or idol decision. Near the end of the first anime, Wataru has to choose between the prestigious Japanese student life he'd previously dreamed of when Akio offers him the opportunity again, or choose to stay with his 12 sisters. Wataru almost chooses a life of glory, but in the end decides to stay with his sisters (with a little persuasion from Mami). | |

When it's not being Big Brother Worship, it's this. All the girls are affectionate with Wataru, but none more so than Sakuya, the "adult" one; Karen has a more "pure" romantic love for him, while Chikage's is mysterious as usual. This is what happens when the Big Brother Relationship is the only one there is and has to fill up the role of all other relationships single-handed; all other relationships. | |

Brother–Sister Incest | |
| Sister Princess / int_771f6307 | comment |
Brother–Sister Incest When it's not being Big Brother Worship, it's this. All the girls are affectionate with Wataru, but none more so than Sakuya, the "adult" one; Karen has a more "pure" romantic love for him, while Chikage's is mysterious as usual. This is what happens when the Big Brother Relationship is the only one there is and has to fill up the role of all other relationships single-handed; all other relationships. This is taken Up to Eleven in the anime when each girl takes a turn 'marrying' him in a series of mock weddings. In Repure, Chikage wants to force feed him an apple while he's sleeping and Sakuya weeps when she realizes she probably won't marry him for real. In the PSX Sister Princess games, it is technically possible for the player character to get into a relationship with one of his sisters...but in scenarios where that happens, there's a sudden plot point that reveals the relationship is not blood-related, removing the (biological) incest factor. In fact, the girls in the games have a "blood-related" ending and a "non-blood related" ending. It's not for all the girls, either: the really young girls, such as Hinako or Aria, had only "sister endings" in the first PSX game, and in Sister Princess 2, the romantic routes they were given were relatively tame. For much older girls such as Sakuya the romantic endings strongly imply the possibility of marriage in the future. | |

If his grandiose, No Indoor Voice proclaimations and frequent Sentai-style posing doesn't make it obvious, there's also his tendency to imagine dramatic, implausible scenarios with himself as the star, like believing that the girls are hopelessly in love with him instead of Wataru. | |

Kudzu Plot | |
| Sister Princess / int_8b5e8731 | comment |
Kudzu Plot: Just how did Wataru wind up with 12 sisters he'd never met, some of whom hail from the other side of the world? Inquiring minds want to know. In the original G's Magazine stories it's shown the siblings have different mothers but the same father, who is supposedly a renowned diplomat. Of course, the saga told in G's Magazine (and the dating games) take place in a totally different reality from the first season anime series... | |

Wham Episode | |
| Sister Princess / int_8e20979 | comment |
Wham Episode: Episode 24, when Akio convinces Wataru to visit Tokyo to see the high school he should've been at. In the Re Pure series it happens during Sakuya's episode. She's the first sister to realize their brother will never love them as more than sisters. The foolish dreams of marrying him and becoming his wife are just that: wistful fantasies that will only lead to heartache. | |

No Full Name Given. None of the sisters have family names and nor does their brother. This makes it impossible to know for sure whether they're half-siblings or full siblings to each other. In the PSX games, where the sisters all live in different houses because they all have different mothers but the same father, decided on "half-sisters" instead of full. No individualized last names are given there, however, because the player is mostly concerned with spending the time with his sisters that their high-class, career-minded mothers cannot (which is also why they idolize him to such extremes). | |

Innocent Innuendo: After Haruka assists an injured Wataru in the bath, she asks him to come to her room later. Cut to commercial. In the next shot, we see visuals of the outside of Haruka's room, and hear lines like "No, Beloved Brother, don't move so suddenly!" and "Is it okay now, Haruka?" There's also a bit of moaning and mood music playing as well. It's a moxibustion treatment. | |
