Oreimo Volume 1

High-school student Kyosuke doesn't get along with his cranky, dismissive, and secretive 14-year-old little sister Kirino, but he finds himself somehow protecting Kirino's secrets — she's not only a fashion model and a great student, but she's got a huge collection of naughty video games and anime! This hilarious, charming hit series is filled with surprises and outrageous laughs. Who says girls can't be otaku, too?

In a shocking twist, Kyousuke’s sister Kirino has decided to study abroad . . . and Ruri Gokou, a.k.a. Kuroneko, is transferring to Kyousuke’s school! Is his homeroom prepared to have the dark Queen of Nightmare among them . . . and is the manga world prepared when Kuroneko makes her first pitch to a professional company? One thing’s for sure—Kyousuke will be by her side, supporting her. But how close is “by her side” going to be . . . ?

It's summer in Japan, and Kirino is back, which can mean only one thing...everyone's second trip together to Comike, the world's largest fan convention. Kuroneko's got a stack of her dôjinshi (self-published comics) to sell, but who should they all bump into there but the lovely, the talented male model Kouki Mikagami...who's been in a photo shoot with Kirino...?

Kirino seems far out of the way, studying in America . . . but is she really that far away from the thoughts of Kyousuke? That’s the problem on Kuroneko’s mind: She’s glad to be by Kyousuke’s side, but fears she may only be a substitute. Meanwhile, a new challenger appears when Kuroneko joins the Gaming Club: Sena Akagi, who has an overactive imagination and wishes to pair Kyousuke up with her brother! * New spinoff of Oreimo, starring the fan-favorite character Kuroneko.

The secret is out — Oreimo is great fun! Things are heating up at home for Kyosuke and his little sister Kirino! It's getting difficult for Kirino to keep her love of kids' anime and naughty video games a secret, especially from her nosy clique of popular girls and her stern, strict father! With all this chaos, might it be possible for Kirino to turn to her brother and really see him as a friend? Clever and engaging, Oreimo is full of surprises!

"Based on the light novel series by Tsukasa Fushimi."

In the bright sparkle of summer, Ruri Gokou has descended to earth in her sundress with her divine persona, Kamineko! And wouldn't you know--now Kyousuke and Ruri have begun seeing each other! Will their date together bring to light the hitherto unseen object of her desire--and will Kyousuke at last see as well that which only she has gazed upon...?

After discovering his fourteen-year-old sister Kirino's obsession with naughty video games and fantasy anime, seventeen-year-old Kyousuke suddenly finds himself forced to protect her secret.
