![]() ![]() As shown in the Anime she likes to write nude with her side bangs covering her nipples. In the Anime Nayuta has Silver-Grey hair reaching down to her waist with blue eyes, with one part of her eyes being a sky blue color while the other part is a deeper shade of blue. Comically enough this also stirs Itsuki's little sister fetish. This sparked a good friendship between the girls and now Kani looks up to Miyako like an older sister. She hugged Kani and stated that if they were together in school she would have defended and protected Kani. Kani then explained sternly that it was Itsuki that brought her out of deep isolation and also hinted she was heavily bullied to which Miyako felt sympathy for Kani which brought her to tears. They both walked the same way back home and Miyako asked what she saw in Itsuki. She followed in his footsteps and now has a foothold in light novels, writing her own and even winning awards.ĭuring her first encounter with Miyako, she saw her as a bit of a rival for Itsuki's affection and began with a bleak introduction. This awoken her interest in storytelling and was highly inspired by Itsuki's novels. During her isolation from life she began to read books and novels to escape reality and in doing so caught on to Itsuki's novels. She shut herself in her bedroom and stopped going to school. ![]() She soon lost confidence in school and her social life was frozen. She has been through both verbal and physical bullying. A lot of these titles are based on visual novels and light novels, meaning they brought over an already-existing fanbase of predominantly school and college-age young men who were eager to see their favorite characters or waifus in anime form.She is madly in love with him, Her dream is to marry and live a happy life with Itsuki Hashima. However, this formula saw an explosion in popularity in the late 2000s and early 2010s with the likes of To LOVE-Ru (2008), OreImo (2010), Sword Art Online (2012) and The Irregular at Magic High School (2014), among numerous others. Using either actual younger sisters or imouto-style characters as a romantic subplot or even the main storyline in mainstream anime has been prevalent for decades now the trope dates back to at least the early 1980s with the adaptation of Miyuki, based on a shonen manga of the same name that ran from 1980-1984. Having a protective, doting, or endearingly spirited and cute younger "sister" who just so happens to be romantically attracted to the protagonist - the audience stand-in - is simply a more extreme case of this kind of wish fulfillment. Broadly speaking, the genres in which standard imouto characters typically appear already involve some manner of fan service, be it the traditional sort involving physically sexualized characters or a power fantasy in which the main character is transported to a world where he is immediately far more powerful than his peers. Like plenty of other now-entrenched anime tropes and stock character types, the imouto generally acts as a form of wish fulfillment for its largely male target audience. Some of the most well-known examples of this dynamic are Kirito and Suguha from Sword Art Online, Kyousuke and Kirino from OreImo, Mikiya and Azaka from Kara no Kyoukai, and Nagi and Sachi from last year’s A Couple of Cuckoos. In contrast, the kind-hearted older brother may be completely oblivious to her attention - and if they are indeed closely related by blood, to gently let her down by the end of the series once he does eventually realize, usually in favor of someone else he’s fallen for. In the majority of cases, the conventional imouto archetype comes across as feisty and perhaps even openly hostile toward her brother, often in an attempt to hide her attraction from him or deny it to herself. This style of character also tends to have a tsundere personality, adding a sense of calculated innocence to the relationship. Particularly in romantic comedies, harem setups and isekai titles, the sister character is nearly always the one harboring romantic feelings for her older male sibling, with the potential degree of familial separation between them helping to allay the viewer’s natural negative reaction to incest. However, one notable character trait that unites them is their crushes on their respective "brothers," even if that crush is unrequited. Although "imouto" is simply the standard Japanese word for youngster sister, conventional imouto anime characters aren’t necessarily so directly related to the main male lead there are many instances where the imouto trope is applied to characters who are cousins, step-sisters or adopted siblings. ![]()
