"My Sister" is undoubtedly a dazzling new star in the world, and its appearance not only set off waves in the second dimension, but also created a number of precedents. As a representative of the second generation, its popularity can be described as high, and it is on par with giant works such as "Haruhi Suzumiya" and "Sword Art Online".
The most striking thing about this work is the in-depth depiction of otaku culture. From gal games to otaku figures, from the prosperity of Akihabara to the details of the CM series, it has been brilliantly displayed. Hiroshi Kanzaki's illustrations have pushed moe culture to a new height, making countless homeless people fall in love with it.
The animation of "My Sister" is also a highlight, which was broadcast at the same time as "The Void of Edge", which jointly promoted the wide spread of the concept of "sister control" in the two-dimensional world. However, the intricate relationship between Kirino Takasaka and Kyosuke in the work has sparked widespread discussion.
There are multiple reasons for the estrangement between Kirino and Kyosuke. Kyosuke's depravity and mediocrity disappoint Kirino, and she is reluctant to admit that this is the older brother she once admired. Kyosuke's inferiority complex and indifferent attitude made Kirino feel even more sad, and her self-esteem became stronger because of it. When Kirino realizes that her feelings for Kyosuke are mixed with love, social ethics hits her hard, and she begins to doubt the future of the relationship.
Kirino is an extremely stubborn and unyielding person. In the unrequited love that she has suppressed for many years, she has rejected the pursuit of countless men, just for that love for her brother. She finds solace in brother-sister love games, trying to find guidance and a way out that doesn't exist in reality.
The image of Kirino in "My Sister" is complex and three-dimensional. She is not born tsundere, but due to strong self-esteem, stubborn character, and clumsy emotional expression. Her love for Kyosuke has always been consistent, and she has never given up even in the face of social and ethical pressure.
It is worth mentioning that the love affair between the second female black cat and Kyosuke in "My Sister" is also a highlight. This relationship is quite rare in the *** world, and it has sparked a lot of discussion and controversy. In the end, the author, Tsukasa Fushimi, had to arrange a compromise ending under great pressure.
My Sister has had a profound impact on Harem Xiang's works. It makes subsequent works more cautious as they move towards the finale, as any choice can spark partisanship. Fushimi finally chose an ending that neither completely satisfied the Black Cat Party nor fully catered to the Sister Party, which was perhaps the best compromise for the situation at the time.
Overall, "My Sister" is not only a first-class work, it is also a milestone in otaku culture and a turning point in the harem road. The impact and discussion it has had continues to this day, which in itself is a testament to its extraordinary cultural value and influence.
