1. These are fan letters.Copy !req
2. Wow, that's a lot!Copy !req
3. It's pretty rare to get so many.Copy !req
4. People are writing their impressions on the net, so there are more emails.Copy !req
5. Perhaps because they heard of this "mysterious middle school writer"?Copy !req
6. Of course, the book itself is their main focus.Copy !req
7. There's even another run of it being printed, after all.Copy !req
8. Okay! Thank you!Copy !req
9. Also...Copy !req
10. It's only something I heard, but...Copy !req
11. So this way, it becomes more exciti—Copy !req

36. There's No Way My Little Sister
Could Get an AnimeCopy !req
37. Oh, so your story is going to be on TV?Copy !req
38. I guess, yeah.Copy !req
39. There's still a lot that I need to decide on, though.Copy !req
40. I'm guessing it's an anime?Copy !req
41. That's right.Copy !req
42. Sounds fun...Copy !req
43. I didn't think you'd have that kind of talent, too.Copy !req
44. I've been pretty busy doing other things,Copy !req
45. so I don't know when we'll be able to hang out.Copy !req
46. Sorry.Copy !req
47. Oh, I see.Copy !req
48. Also, can you keep it a secret please?Copy !req
49. I wouldn't want this to spread around school.Copy !req
50. It'll be our secret!Copy !req
51. Are you guys lesbians or something?Copy !req
52. Don't say stuff like that, Kanako.Copy !req
53. You know, I saw the TV rankings yesterday.Copy !req
54. There's something about an otaku novel?Copy !req
55. A junior high girl wrote it or something.Copy !req
56. My City?Copy !req
57. That!Copy !req
58. That thing's super famous.Copy !req
59. It's already being bought out to hell and back.Copy !req
60. Damn, it's so annoying!Copy !req
61. Maybe I should write something, too.Copy !req
62. Have you written anything like it before?Copy !req
63. Nah.Copy !req
64. Wouldn't writing an eroge be easy?Copy !req
65. It's not that easy, right?Copy !req
66. Y-Yeah.Copy !req
67. Congratulations again on your anime!Copy !req
68. Well it's not for sure yet...Copy !req
69. Though that said, there's no way they won't go with it!Copy !req
70. So which is it?Copy !req
71. MediAscii must be pretty desperate to have even considered picking up your delusional pileup novel thing.Copy !req
72. What's that?Copy !req
73. Do I hear jealousy?Copy !req
74. Feeling the weight of a loser wannabe being beaten out to getting a debut and an anime?Copy !req
75. If you don't shut up, I'm going to write "anime otaku use only" on that huge forehead of yours.Copy !req
76. What do you mean "use"?Copy !req
77. I'm not allowed to say something that indecent in public.Copy !req
78. Why you—Copy !req
79. Now, now, now...Copy !req
80. So Miss Kiririn, what did you call us together for?Copy !req
81. Well basically, today is the first meeting with the anime staff.Copy !req
82. Okay...Copy !req
83. So I was thinking, if you guys wanted to so badly, I could let you come along.Copy !req
84. Why exactly do we have to accompany you to your meeting?Copy !req
85. Like I said, you guys know about the studio, staff, and voice actors, right?Copy !req
86. I'm giving you a chance to support me with that stuff in the meeting!Copy !req
87. It's pretty rare to see you nervous.Copy !req
88. So that's why you want us to come along?Copy !req
89. D-Don't be stupid!Copy !req
90. Who'd get nervous over a silly little meeting?Copy !req
91. Here's your Justeen!Copy !req
92. Who's in charge of this?Copy !req
93. A lady named Fate-san.Copy !req
94. Fate?Copy !req
95. That's actually her real name.Copy !req
96. She's a quarter, and her name is Iori Fate Setsuna.Copy !req
97. What a cool name...Copy !req
98. Understood!Copy !req
99. I'll accompany you, if you want.Copy !req
100. What about you?Copy !req
101. If you come, I'll introduce you to Fate-san.Copy !req
102. For me, it's not really a question of what I'll get out of it,Copy !req
103. but my schedule happens to be open today, so I'll come along just for you.Copy !req
104. Be thankful you're so lucky.Copy !req
105. You're seriously annoying.Copy !req
106. The staff is already here.Copy !req
107. Ah, okay.Copy !req
108. Excuse me.Copy !req
109. Don't be so nervous!Copy !req
110. You're infecting me with it!Copy !req
111. I'm not nervous at all.Copy !req
112. The purpose of today's meeting is to have a chance to talk about the "My City" anime.Copy !req
113. So to start with, how about we discuss the general direction we want to take with it?Copy !req
114. These two here are Rino-sensei's assistants.Copy !req
115. I had them accompany me.Copy !req
116. I figured it'd be good to have opinions from the readers.Copy !req
117. I see, that makes sense.Copy !req
118. My name's Saori.Copy !req
119. I'm Kuroneko.Copy !req
120. When exactly did I become your assistant?Copy !req
121. Calling me that sullies my name.Copy !req
122. You needn't mind us. Please go ahead with the meeting.Copy !req
123. So how about we start with the director?Copy !req
124. Alright.Copy !req
125. Do you have anything in particular you want with regards to the anime?Copy !req
126. Um... well...Copy !req
127. I wrote some notes yesterday for today's meeting.Copy !req
128. Notes?Copy !req
129. Yes!Copy !req
130. First, here's a list of the characters' voice actors.Copy !req
131. We can't do this without Hoshino-san!Copy !req
132. She has the exact image I had in mind when I was writing!Copy !req
133. Also, I'd like Burigaki-san for one of the sisters.Copy !req
134. And Youhei-san too!Copy !req
135. I heard her in Meruru, and she has a great voice!Copy !req
136. And I was thinking Chuuganji-san would be great to have for character design.Copy !req
137. His takes on copyright characters are always full of ero.Copy !req
138. Also, the idea just occurred to me, but would it be possible to change the opening and ending every episode?Copy !req
139. So, 52 songs total.Copy !req
140. It'll be such an awesome hit!Copy !req
141. And how about doing "My Star" for number 001?Copy !req
142. I wrote this story for the net, but I'm sure the audience would be in tune with it!Copy !req
143. Ah, for the soundtrack, I had a hard time deciding between Garyuu-san and Yoroi-san,Copy !req
144. but maybe we can have them collaborate?Copy !req
145. It'd be great to have all the voice actors for the sisters sing together!Copy !req
146. I just thought of it, but maybe we could get a bunch of different manga artists and illustrators to do the character designs!Copy !req
147. Maybe if we ask them from Raigeki Bunko's side...Copy !req
148. And having end cards would also be great!Copy !req
149. Also, this story starts in Shibuya, so could we use real shops in those scenes?Copy !req
150. Like a homage to the original?Copy !req
151. Also, Director, you did MoeSis too, right?Copy !req
152. Can we get Bakkoin-san to do the animation for this?Copy !req
153. I love the way he makes things move so smoothly!Copy !req
154. Oh, and when you show panties on screen, you normally have to block it with shadows or light, right?Copy !req
155. So for this, how about we say they aren't panties, but some kind of survival gear instead?Copy !req
156. And lastly, for the credits, could you use "Super Original Work" instead of just "Original Work"?Copy !req
157. Understood...Copy !req
158. We'll take all that into consideration.Copy !req
159. Ah, there is one thing we need to mention.Copy !req
160. This is going to be a half season—13 episodes.Copy !req
161. Were you planning on it being a full season?Copy !req
162. W-Well...Copy !req
163. Right now the base work is only one volume.Copy !req
164. We plan to take that and add some anime-original episodes to pad it out.Copy !req
165. Oh, okay...Copy !req
166. I'll think up some additional content then...Copy !req
167. Um...Copy !req
168. You don't have to do it right now.Copy !req
169. Oh! I have notes for a character that I never ended up putting in the book, so we could use that...Copy !req
170. I'll give it a read.Copy !req
171. But I think restructuring the content, decreasing character details, and creating a backbone for the world may be enough to pull us through.Copy !req
172. I-I see...Copy !req
173. Indeed.Copy !req
174. Also, about the schedule...Copy !req
175. We're planning the broadcast for the July season.Copy !req
176. What's wrong?Copy !req
177. That's pretty soon...Copy !req
178. That's why changing the opening or ending will be pretty difficult at this point.Copy !req
179. Putting that energy into improving the main feature's quality may be better for its success on TV.Copy !req
180. Oh... I see...Copy !req
181. In regards to the voice actors...Copy !req
182. I'm glad you have an image in mind for them,Copy !req
183. but given their schedule, it may be necessary to use people who aren't on your list.Copy !req
184. I hope you can understand.Copy !req
185. I see...Copy !req
186. And as for the story...Copy !req
187. I have some questions I'd like to ask.Copy !req
188. Yes?Copy !req
189. Why do all these little sisters come to like the main character?Copy !req
190. Well...Copy !req
191. Because she saved their lives?Copy !req
192. But the main character is a girl.Copy !req
193. Yes...Copy !req
194. Why?Copy !req
195. I wonder...Copy !req
196. Because the author is projecting herself onto her, obviously.Copy !req
197. Miss Kuroneko!Copy !req
198. What do you think about changing the main character to a male lead?Copy !req
199. I'm back.Copy !req
200. Hey! What the hell?Copy !req
201. Hey...Copy !req
202. What happened?Copy !req
203. Shut up...Copy !req
204. Hey!Copy !req
205. What's wrong?Copy !req
206. Kirino!Copy !req
207. She's still in bed?Copy !req
208. Sheesh.Copy !req
209. Both her body and mind are just so weak.Copy !req
210. It's understandable though...Copy !req
211. They completely turned around all her ideas,Copy !req
212. so it probably came as quite a shock to her.Copy !req
213. I suppose that's a natural reaction when you see the story you worked so hard on get turned upside-down.Copy !req
214. I don't really get it...Copy !req
215. Why didn't anyone want to hear her ideas?Copy !req
216. It's her book they're turning into an anime, right?Copy !req
217. That's true, but the process of creating an anime involves a huge number of people at great cost.Copy !req
218. They have to release an episode once every week.Copy !req
219. It'd be unrealistic to let one person have their way with everything.Copy !req
220. It's a different league from books or manga where you can do all the work solo.Copy !req
221. If the author doesn't like it, they can turn down the whole anime project, but...Copy !req
222. You feel like you want to watch it, despite your gripes.Copy !req
223. What a hassle.Copy !req
224. Mr. Kyousuke...Copy !req
225. I actually looked into it a bit...Copy !req
226. It would seem that this whole project was only decided very recently, after a different anime was suddenly cancelled.Copy !req
227. I thought as much.Copy !req
228. It seemed far too aggressive, pushing an anime for a new work with only one volume on sale.Copy !req
229. So basically...Copy !req
230. They're just using this to fill in a gap?Copy !req
231. To put it bluntly, yes.Copy !req
232. So that's why they're ignoring Kirino's opinions and just bulldozing forward with production...Copy !req
233. That's definitely a possible explanation.Copy !req
234. That really sucks.Copy !req
235. Though again, it's just what I heard.Copy !req
236. I don't really get this kind of stuff, but isn't having the story you worked so hard on trampled all over really unfair?Copy !req
237. Of course it is.Copy !req
238. What should we do?Copy !req
239. You're suggesting we do something?Copy !req
240. Is there any other choice?Copy !req
241. If we don't, her anime is going to be a total mess.Copy !req
242. Wouldn't that be a job for your sister?Copy !req
243. The one you hate so much?Copy !req
244. That's right, I hate her.Copy !req
245. But I can't leave this one alone.Copy !req
246. It pisses me off too much.Copy !req
247. I don't know what, but I feel like I need to do something.Copy !req
248. Mr. Kyousuke...Copy !req
249. I feel the same way.Copy !req
250. Don't misunderstand.Copy !req
251. I'm just following along because I'm bored.Copy !req
252. Her brother?Copy !req
253. Thank you for looking after my sister.Copy !req
254. She's in bed sick today, but I asked her for her opinions.Copy !req
255. Please let me stand in.Copy !req
256. O-Okay...Copy !req
257. She already sent me her opinions on the plans though...Copy !req
258. She came up with more besides those.Copy !req
259. There shouldn't be any problem.Copy !req
260. They get along well enough to know how each other thinks.Copy !req
261. Please treat his opinions as hers.Copy !req
262. And you two came today too?Copy !req
263. Her brother?Copy !req
264. Sorry for the change.Copy !req
265. He's received instructions from the author.Copy !req
266. Please treat him as her proxy.Copy !req
267. I see...Copy !req
268. You still have time.Copy !req
269. Tuck your tail and run?Copy !req
270. Just watch me.Copy !req
271. We made these changes based on comments made at the last meeting.Copy !req
272. Given that most fans of the book are male, I think we should change the main character to a young man.Copy !req
273. With a young man and little sister characters as the cast, the whole "Onii-chan" theme becomes more realistic.Copy !req
274. The viewers will find it easier to project themselves onto the main character.Copy !req
275. That sounds good.Copy !req
276. We have a comment from the author about that.Copy !req
277. What is it?Copy !req
278. If possible, she wants to keep the main character as a girl.Copy !req
279. Any reason?Copy !req
280. She didn't give one in particular...Copy !req
281. Um, if I may?Copy !req
282. Yes?Copy !req
283. I'm not sure myself, but I think that's a major point for her.Copy !req
284. I think she has some meaning in mind behind the idea of girls getting along with girls...Copy !req
285. Damn, what am I saying?Copy !req
286. And what might that be?Copy !req
287. Um... well...Copy !req
288. I can't really put it into words myself...Copy !req
289. Then I can't really see it.Copy !req
290. Excuse me.Copy !req
291. Having both the hero and the ones being saved be girls might limit the user demographic,Copy !req
292. but the original was successful on that dynamic.Copy !req
293. Let's leave the decision to the director.Copy !req
294. Say what you think, dammit!Copy !req
295. Having a young girl as the main character may cause some physical problems in several scenes.Copy !req
296. You think?Copy !req
297. You wouldn't normally have a girl lifting rubble.Copy !req
298. Couldn't you use something at the scene?Copy !req
299. Doesn't it make more sense in that setting to have an ex-soldier or something?Copy !req
300. You think?Copy !req
301. They completely ignored me...Copy !req
302. How about this?Copy !req
303. Keep the original as the original, but make the anime a story happening at the same time nearby?Copy !req
304. But then there'd be no meaning in using My City...Copy !req
305. We can still use some material from the original.Copy !req
306. If we make the main character of that one a girl, doesn't that fit everyone's conditions?Copy !req
307. What does the author think?Copy !req
308. We can't know unless we ask, but she's sick today...Copy !req
309. We can ask her later then.Copy !req
310. So we can just move on with that idea for now?Copy !req
311. No, wait!Copy !req
312. Wait a minute!Copy !req
313. Doesn't that seem weird to you?Copy !req
314. Using her book has no meaning this way!Copy !req
315. And frankly, that version sounds so standard it's boring!Copy !req
316. Can't you just do it the way she wrote it?Copy !req
317. Look here...Copy !req
318. There are too many problems with turning this book into an anime.Copy !req
319. Yes, but doing that is your job, right?Copy !req
320. She did make the story.Copy !req
321. Our job is making animated stories.Copy !req
322. Not pleasing the original author.Copy !req
323. You're not supposed to say that...Copy !req
324. She might be a sister to you,Copy !req
325. but to us, she's a business partner.Copy !req
326. If we could make the original directly into an anime, we would.Copy !req
327. But books for which that doesn't work will fail as anime.Copy !req
328. That's why sometimes changes are necessary.Copy !req
329. Ultimately, the content we produce must be profitable.Copy !req
330. We have to consider this from that perspective.Copy !req
331. If we don't make a good work into something even better, our customers won't watch or buy it.Copy !req
332. Frankly, I've turned down this story once already.Copy !req
333. The concept is good, but I don't see how it can succeed as a series.Copy !req
334. Most importantly...Copy !req
335. I personally don't find it interesting at all.Copy !req
336. I've tried to voice my ideas despite that.Copy !req
337. But if you don't like them, we can cancel it now.Copy !req
338. Er... well...Copy !req
339. So you're just running away now, you pathetic swine?Copy !req
340. "Swine"?Copy !req
341. This may be oversimplifying, but in other words,Copy !req
342. you're out of ideas, so you're trying to turn it into something you've done before.Copy !req
343. Hey, wai—Copy !req
344. Who can say your method is the right one?Copy !req
345. If you have time to complain all day then reread the original.Copy !req
346. Excuse me—Copy !req
347. But I will agree that the novel is boring.Copy !req
348. The setting is stupid, the story flops around, and the style is incomprehensible.Copy !req
349. Yet it's a bestseller?Copy !req
350. It gets an anime?Copy !req
351. That's so wrong it's not funny.Copy !req
352. Any publisher or company or studio supporting this crap would be better off going bankrupt.Copy !req
353. Hey!Copy !req
354. I've spent years studying and submitting.Copy !req
355. It's frustrating.Copy !req
356. I'm so jealous I can't stand it.Copy !req
357. You're the same way, right?Copy !req
358. You've written many novels before.Copy !req
359. But nobody ever read them and they're all out of print now.Copy !req
360. Combined, they haven't sold even one tenth of this book's sales.Copy !req
361. I can understand how your pride must be getting in the way of scripting something written by a middle school girl.Copy !req
362. That's enough! What are you saying?Copy !req
363. You're one to talk.Copy !req
364. Why is it always about your sister?Copy !req
365. Don't try to tell me you haven't thought about that.Copy !req
366. I...Copy !req
367. That has nothing to do with this!Copy !req
368. She's right.Copy !req
369. Why does she have all the talent?Copy !req
370. Why does everyone love her?Copy !req
371. Why does she get all the attention?Copy !req
372. Why does everyone sing her praises?Copy !req
373. Why does everything go so perfectly for her?Copy !req
374. I've thought about it.Copy !req
375. And...Copy !req
376. After watching what happened at the last meeting, I was ecstatic.Copy !req
377. That girl needs to be kicked down more often.Copy !req
378. Ahh, I hate it so much.Copy !req
379. I hate everything in this world.Copy !req
380. If only a bomb would just blow everything away.Copy !req
381. When Kirino was depressed, I felt relieved.Copy !req
382. I was basking in her misfortune.Copy !req
383. But that's that.Copy !req
384. I hate Kirino.Copy !req
385. But as my sister...Copy !req
386. I have no choice but to do this for her!Copy !req
387. I'm her brother.Copy !req
388. My sister is a crazy anime otaku.Copy !req
389. She's so excited that her novel is becoming an anime.Copy !req
390. Practically jumping up and down like a little kid.Copy !req
391. Even with school, work, and club all over her schedule,Copy !req
392. she worked until she collapsed, writing exactly how she wanted the anime.Copy !req
393. So if it doesn't turn out right, she'll die of depression.Copy !req
394. She'll cry, and she'll be heartbroken.Copy !req
395. I understand that this is a job for you.Copy !req
396. I understand perfectly that I have no place to say this.Copy !req
397. But this is all I can say.Copy !req
398. She might be a business partner to you, but she's a sister to me.Copy !req
399. Please! Listen to what she has to say!Copy !req
400. My sister put everything she had into writing it!Copy !req
401. She worked so hard!Copy !req
402. You guys are anime pros, right?Copy !req
403. Then show us what you can do!Copy !req
404. If not, she'll be devastated by an anime—by what she loves!Copy !req
405. Isn't that turning everything you've done until now into nothing?Copy !req
406. Please...Copy !req
407. Don't waste all the effort you've already put into this!Copy !req
408. Your argument is slipping off topic.Copy !req
409. Shut up!Copy !req
410. But I agree.Copy !req
411. This is not something we can just blow off, no matter how envious we are.Copy !req
