A Sister's All You Need (妹���れ���。, Im�to Sae Ireba Ii.) is a Japanese light novel series written by Yomi Hirasaka (of Haganai fame) and illustrated by Kantoku. Shogakukan has published 13 novels since March 2015 under their Gagaga Bunko imprint. Two manga adaptations have been published by Shogakukan and Square Enix. An anime television series adaptation by SILVER LINK., with Hirasaka's involvement as the head writer, premiered on October 8, 2017.The story follows the novelist Itsuki Hashima who is surrounded by various people, including a beautiful genius writer who loves him, a big-sisterly college classmate, a fellow male writer, a sadistic tax accountant, and his editor. As the story progresses, the underlying conflicts of dreams and goals surface, as each character attempts to achieve their dreams, in their own way. One such example is the rivalry between author Itsuki and his friend Haruto. Itsuki's stories are driven by a passion for stories about little sisters with praise from a selective yet strongly supportive fan-base, whereas Haruto's stories are given by victory and romance through more common, yet popular cliches. Each of their stories are riddled with common light novel themes and concepts, such as romantic comedy elements and erotic illustrations. They are all looked after by Itsuki's younger "brother" Chihiro, who in fact is his younger step sister.

comment
Non-Indicative Title: The title of the series gives off the impression that an imouto romance is on the horizon, but little sisters overall have very little to do with the content. It's mostly a series about the publishing industry and creating light novels (with the occasional appearance from mangaka).

Brilliant, but Lazy/Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Everyone in the main and supporting cast outside of Miyako and Haruto. They all have some kind of eccentricity or slack off from their jobs, but they're all so talented at them that they can easily get away with it.

Little Sister Heroine
 A Sister's All You Need / int_36b0b987
comment
Little Sister Heroine: The concept is poked at a few times, but overall the trope gets its fair share of playing with: Itsuki's obsession with fictional little sisters is one of his driving forces. Some in-series productions, such as the imouto light novel seen in the first scene/episode one, display the trope with pride. In Chihiro's case, it's defied. Itsuki's father assumes that he's a significant threat to Chihiro because of his incredibly unhealthy obsession with younger sisters in fiction. As such, he forces Chihiro to present as male around Itsuki out of fear of what he'd do to her if he knew she's actually his sister. Furthermore, when he does eventually find out that his sister is a girl, he goes into a funk so wide he takes a hiatus from writing; since he refuses to see his sister like an imouto heroine, he recontextualized his obsession and found the whole practice gross. There is a younger sister that invokes the trope— Haruto's little sister is obsessed with him, but she is constantly rebuffed until she threatens him with her own suicide if he doesn't stay by her forever.
