For me, this was a really fun read. It's a cute oneshot about a brother (a shut-in fanartist) and sister (taking his place at events because he's a shut-in). The brother grows slowly throughout the book, though his antics are a little overbearing at times. I appreciate how he realises he can bribe his sister with food - I too, would be easily bribed like this. The characters are fun and ridiculous, but not in a bad way. Watching the main duo interact with everyone, even minor characters like the delivery guy, was quite fun. I laughed a lot and found the story relatable inparts. For people who just read a manga or watch an anime and then move on, this might not be the book for you. It's definitely more for those who keep coming back to our favourite show, buy the merch, go to the events and all that. For a story called "BL Fans Love My Brother?!", there's surprisingly little BL? There's a bit (that's very suggestive) but I think it's more focussed on the relationships people have with media and other fans, and how some people are very, very, [i]very [/i] awkward., yet their faves give them strength. I'm sure some people will think I've rated this too highly. Story - 9, art and character - 8, enjoyment and overall - 10. For me, enjoyment is the most important thing. Sure, story and art and character are important, but if I'm bored, who cares? It's no masterpiece, but I loved it. This was a quirky fun book that I'd reread on days I'm feeling a bit low. It's lighthearted and comedic and I loved how the siblings cared for each other.
Four years ago, Kirika Amano's older brother became a shut-in. Since then, he's barely even left his own room, constantly working on something at his desk. When Kirika finally finds out what he's been doing all that time, she's shockedβher brother creates boys love comics! Not only that, but it turns out that he's actually quite good at it, and he's got a dedicated fanbase. Even though Kirika doesn't understand her brother's hobbies or the fandom that surrounds him, he's still family. Maybe if she helps him sell his comics, she can convince him to step outside into the world again and greet his fans in person. (Source: Tokyopop)
This is a story about being hikkikomori, being bribed with meat, how discovering a new world and learning about it may make you love it (even if you did not expect it), weeb culture and having an otp. We have two siblings. She's a university student normie, he has been a hikkikomori for 4 years. They dearly care about each other, as brothers do, and make hell for each other, as brothers do. And it is beautiful, and ridiculous, and hilarious. After he finds out he won't be able to make his deadline, he asks for help, and she finds out her brother is a doujinshi artist.How on earth did she take four years to discover it escapes me, but she slowly enters his world. Her first mission in selling stuff at cons, and it only goes further after that. She begins utterly clueless, not knowing the words the people around her are using, looking up on google how to set her booth. Through nine chapters we see how he grows, but also how she does. At the same rate at which he breaks through his self imposed barriers and even gets out of his house, she breaks through her self imposed prejudice, learning to love and cherish what her brother does as well. This was an adorable tale. As someone who rewatches and rereads through her favorite pieces of media when needing comfort, it was relatable and just fun to go through. And I would never ask for anything else.
