[00:25] Saki
    A stepbrother is essentially a stranger.
[00:34] Saki
    And that's perfectly normal, because even
    if we suddenly become siblings one day,
[00:38] Saki
    we have no shared experience
    living together.

    My Little Sister and I Are In Love
[00:54] Yuta
    A stepsister is essentially a stranger.
[00:59] Yuta
    Novels and movies like to indulge
[01:01] ---
    in the idea that because they
    aren't related by blood,
[01:03] Yuta
    that they can simply fall in love and
    have a normal male-female relationship.
[01:09] Yuta
    But things that happen in fiction and things
    that happen in real life are very different.
[01:18] Saki
    People say that all siblings begin as strangers,
[01:22] Saki
    but in the case of step-siblings,
    they start off as strangers
[01:26] Saki
    and stay strangers until the very end.

[02:50] Taichi
    Guess what. I've decided to remarry.
[02:53] Yuta
    Huh?
[02:54] Taichi
    She's a girl who worked at
    a bar my boss took me to.
[02:58] Taichi
    She took care of me when I was dead drunk.
[03:01] Yuta
    That sounds like a scam.
[03:04] Taichi
    Don't worry. Akiko-san
    isn't like that at all.
[03:09] Taichi
    You'll see that when you
    meet her tonight, Yuta.
[03:12] Yuta
    Tonight?
[03:13] Taichi
    Yeah. Ouch!
[03:15] Taichi
    I'll introduce you to her.
[03:17] ---
    We'll meet up after your work.
[03:21] Yuta
    Another rash decision.
[03:30] Taichi
    Ow!
[03:30] Yuta
    Are you ready for that?
[03:33] Taichi
    Hmm?
[03:34] Taichi
    What's that now?
[03:38] Taichi
    Too hot!
[03:39] Yuta
    As long as it makes you
    happy, I'm fine with it.
[03:42] Yuta
    I'll just keep doing my usual thing.
[03:45] Taichi
    Your usual thing won't cut it, though.
[03:47] ---
    You're gonna have a new little sister.
[03:50] Yuta
    A little sister?
[03:51] Taichi
    Yeah, a little sister.
[03:53] Taichi
    Akiko-san's daughter.
[04:05] Akiko
    Pleased to meet you. I'm Ayase Akiko.
[04:08] Akiko
    Thanks for coming out. I know
    you're busy at your job.
[04:11] Yuta
    Huh? Oh, it's all right.
[04:14] Yuta
    I'm the son, Asamura Yuta.
[04:19] Akiko
    Go ahead and introduce yourself.
[04:22] Saki
    Nice to meet you.
[04:24] ---
    I'm Ayase Saki.
[04:25] Yuta
    Huh?
[04:27] Yuta
    Dad...
[04:28] Taichi
    Yeah. Saki-chan is actually
    the same age as you.
[04:32] Taichi
    She's seventeen this year.
    Second year in high school.
[04:35] Taichi
    But your birthday is a week before hers.
[04:39] Akiko
    I do apologize for the confusion.
[04:41] Akiko
    Now that she's older, Saki just won't
    let me take any pictures of her.
[04:46] Saki
    Maybe it's just the way I look,
    but I'm not very photogenic.
[04:54] Saki
    But I'm actually pretty relieved.
[04:56] Yuta
    Huh?
[04:57] Saki
    Since we're going to start living together,
[05:00] ---
    I was worried you might be a scary guy.
[05:05] Yuta
    Oh, I wonder about that.
[05:06] ---
    Truly scary people often look very kind.
[05:10] Saki
    I hear you work almost every
    day to save up for college.
[05:14] Saki
    And that you get really good grades.
[05:17] Yuta
    A lot of criminals are
    actually quite intelligent.
[05:28] Saki
    Hey, before my mom and your dad come out,
[05:31] ---
    there's something I want to talk about.
[05:34] Yuta
    Something you don't want them to hear?
[05:35] Saki
    Yeah. Or more specifically,
    something I can only say to you.
[05:40] Yuta
    Did I really earn your trust
    over such a brief time?
[05:44] ---
    I'm impressed with myself.
[05:50] Saki
    That sense of humor, the way
    you talk, the way you act...
[05:55] Saki
    none of those things come
    off as really intense.
[05:59] Saki
    So I thought maybe,
[06:01] ---
    you'd be able to truly
    understand what I'm about to say.
[06:17] Saki
    I don't expect anything from you,
[06:21] ---
    so I don't want you to expect
    anything from me either.
[06:26] Saki
    You really do understand what I mean by that, right?
[06:37] Yuta
    That's a relief.
[06:42] Yuta
    I'm totally relieved.
[06:44] ---
    For the first time tonight.
[06:52] Saki
    Yeah, me too.
[06:54] ---
    For the first time.
[06:57] Yuta
    Let's maintain this kind of stance
    going forward, Ayase-san.
[07:02] Saki
    Thank you, Asamura-kun.
[07:11] Taichi
    Yuta?
[07:13] ---
    Have you seen the spray?
SIGN    June 7 (Sunday)
[07:15] ---
    The one for odors?
[07:16] Yuta
    It's next to the TV.
[07:18] ---
    You left it there after using
    it on the curtain yesterday.
[07:20] Taichi
    Oh, I did? Oh.
[07:24] Taichi
    Thanks.
[07:26] Yuta
    Why are you acting so nervous at this point?"
[07:28] Taichi
    Well, I put off cleaning the bedroom,
    but once I started I began to worry.
[07:34] Taichi
    It'd be a real downer if
    she tells me it stinks.
[07:36] Yuta
    You're so sensitive.
[07:37] Taichi
    Hey, when you're my age, this sort
    of thing is a critical issue!
[07:43] Taichi
    Yuta!
[07:44] Yuta
    Yeah.
[07:49] Akiko
    I brought a few things to say
    thank you for your hospitality!
[07:54] Yuta
    Oh.
[07:56] ---
    Um...
[07:57] Saki
    You don't need to worry about it.
[07:59] Saki
    My mom can never say no, so she bought
    everything that they recommended to her.
[08:04] Akiko
    Hold on, Saki.
[08:05] ---
    That makes it sound like
    I'm a failure as an adult.
[08:08] Saki
    But it's true, right?
[08:12] Akiko
    Hmm, what a lovely citrus scent!
[08:15] Saki
    You actually keep things pretty clean.
[08:17] Yuta
    We've spent the last few
    days cleaning like—
[08:19] Akiko
    It's just like Taishi-san told me.
[08:21] ---
    You really are very neat and tidy!
[08:24] Yuta
    They say that to develop a healthy mind,
[08:26] ---
    you must first develop a healthy environment.
[08:29] Yuta
    Cleaning to eliminate every last speck
    of dust is an Asamura family tradition.
[08:34] Saki
    Sounds like a kind of ominous
    family tradition to me.
[08:37] Akiko
    Taishi-san is such an impressive man!
[08:40] Taichi
    Yeah, I'm okay. I can do this. Here I go!
[08:43] Taichi
    Hey! Akiko-san! Saki-chan!
[08:50] Taichi
    Welcome to our humble home!
[08:53] Taichi
    F-From now on, let's all live
    happily under the same roof!
SIGN    Asamura / Ayase
[09:06] Akiko & Saki
    Thank you very much!
[09:12] Yuta
    It's right over here.
[09:14] Yuta
    We've prepared a bed and curtains for you,
[09:17] Yuta
    but weren't sure what colors you like,
    so we can change them if necessary.
[09:21] Yuta
    We placed the desk near the window for now.
[09:25] ---
    If you'd like to move it, please let us know.
[09:28] Saki
    Thanks.
[09:29] ---
    It's a big room.
[09:31] Yuta
    Oh, I think it's quite average.
[09:35] Saki
    My old place was a worn-out apartment.
[09:38] ---
    One six-tatami room.
[09:40] Saki
    I didn't even have my own bedroom.
[09:42] Yuta
    I see.
[09:43] ---
    So did you both put down futons and
    sleep in the same room... perhaps?
[09:47] Saki
    No. My mom worked at night, so we
    were living on opposite schedules.
[09:52] Saki
    When I slept, I had the place to myself.
[09:54] Yuta
    Huh.
[09:56] ---
    But I'm sure that was
    comfortable in its own way.
[10:00] Yuta
    I apologize that you now have
    to share a home with two men.
[10:04] Saki
    I don't care about that,
[10:06] ---
    but there is one thing.
[10:09] Yuta
    What might that be?
[10:11] Saki
    That.
[10:13] Saki
    Why are you talking so polite to me?
[10:17] Yuta
    Why? Well, that's...
[10:19] Saki
    We're the same age, so why
    can't you loosen up a bit?
[10:23] Yuta
    It might be exactly because
    we're the same age.
[10:26] Saki
    But I mean, if you're talking
    to classmates and friends,
[10:29] Saki
    isn't it weird to talk that
    formally all the time?
[10:32] Yuta
    Maybe from a winner's point of view.
[10:35] Saki
    You think so?
[10:37] Saki
    I'm not in any position to criticize you,
[10:41] ---
    but if you're just trying to be nice to me,
[10:44] Saki
    I don't need that at all.
[10:46] Yuta
    That's not exactly what I'm...
[10:53] Yuta
    But this seems like something we should
    be absolutely clear on, so I'll ask,
[10:59] Yuta
    would you actually prefer that I
    drop the formal language with you?
[11:05] Saki
    Yeah. To be honest, I think casual
    talk is a lot more relaxing.
[11:11] Saki
    I'm not really someone who deserves
    that much respect anyway.
[11:17] Yuta
    Okay.
[11:19] Yuta
    Then I'll drop the formalities.
[11:21] Saki
    Just like that, huh.
[11:24] Yuta
    It might be tough for me to treat
    you the same as a close friend,
[11:27] Yuta
    but I appreciate you being real
    with me and keeping things simple.
[11:31] Yuta
    It's easier for me too.
[11:33] Saki
    Sure.
[11:38] Saki
    That's exactly what I expected.
[11:40] Saki
    It's kind of a big help if we can
    smooth things out this easily.
[11:45] Yuta
    Smooth things out, huh.
[11:47] ---
    That's a good way of putting it.
[11:50] Saki
    When I talked to my friends about
    this at school, they laughed at me.
[11:53] Saki
    "What is that, some kind of contract?"
[11:56] ---
    They wouldn't take me seriously at all.
[11:59] Yuta
    That must've been tough.
[12:03] Saki
    Yeah.
[12:04] ---
    So I cut ties with all but one of them.
[12:07] Yuta
    Sorry to hear that.
[12:09] Saki
    It's okay.
[12:10] ---
    I only cut off people who weren't
    worth keeping around anyway.
[12:14] Saki
    I can't read their minds.
[12:16] ---
    And if they never make any
    effort to try to tell me,
[12:19] Saki
    I can't go tiptoeing around
    their feelings all the time.
[12:21] ---
    It's a waste of time.
[12:26] Yuta
    Want some help unloading your luggage?
[12:34] Saki
    That's really kind of you.
[14:03] Sign
    Asamura / Ayase
[14:04] Yuta
    Oh, wait.
[14:07] Yuta
    Ayase-san, do you go to Suisei?
[14:09] Saki
    Yeah, I do.
[14:11] Saki
    Are you surprised that a flashy
    girl like me goes to prep school?
[14:15] Yuta
    Uh, no...
[14:17] ---
    Actually I go there too.
[14:20] Saki
    Oh.
[14:21] Yuta
    Sorry about that.
[14:24] Saki
    You don't have anything to apologize for.
[14:27] Yuta
    But at school, I'll do my best
    to pretend I don't know you.
[14:33] Saki
    I don't care.
[14:34] ---
    I'm fine either way.
[14:39] Saki
    Then again, it might actually be better
    for you if we do that, Asamura-kun.
[14:44] Yuta
    Huh? Do you mean...
[14:49] Yuta
    Sorry. Um...
[14:51] Saki
    Just answer it.
[14:52] ---
    It doesn't bother me if
    you talk on the phone.
[14:56] Yuta
    Thank you.
[15:01] Yuta
    Hello?

    Ah, yes. Sure.

    I noticed that you've been
    smelling of girl all day long.
[15:19] Yuta
    Huh?
[15:20] Shiori
    Did you get a girlfriend or something?
[15:22] Yuta
    Don't be ridiculous.
[15:25] ---
    But do I really smell?
[15:27] Shiori
    Yeah, it's really strong.
[15:28] Shiori
    How much snuggling would it take
    to pick up that much of an odor?
[15:32] Yuta
    I think I should be leaving early.
[15:34] Shiori
    Aww, I didn't mean it!
    Don't leave me here alone!
[15:39] Yuta
    I was just kidding anyway.
[15:42] Shiori
    You told me before, right?
    About your new little sister.
[15:45] Shiori
    I figured she must have moved in by now.
[15:47] ---
    And... so? Is she cute?
[15:49] Yuta
    She's actually... quite beautiful.
[15:52] Shiori
    Whoo-hoo!
[15:54] Shiori
    Living with a beautiful woman, huh.
[15:56] ---
    It's the springtime of your life.
[15:58] Yuta
    Not a thing is going to happen.
[16:00] Shiori
    Something naughty might happen though, right?
[16:03] Yuta
    You have a habit of blurting
    out bad dad jokes.
[16:06] ---
    You might want to fix that.
[16:08] Shiori
    After going to an all-girls middle school,
    high school, and college, I can't help it.
[16:12] Yuta
    What an awful way to slander girls' schools.
[16:17] Yuta
    But to be honest,
[16:19] ---
    it isn't really the time for me to
    be entertaining thoughts like that.
[16:22] Shiori
    Hmm?
[16:24] Yuta
    It stresses me out.
[16:26] ---
    How are we supposed to act
    as brother and sister?
[16:32] Shiori
    Well for you, junior, it's probably
    best if you just act naturally.
[16:37] Shiori
    Good evening!
[18:04] Yuta
    Uh...
[18:06] Yuta
    I'm home.
[18:07] Saki
    Ah... Mm-hmm.
[18:11] Saki
    Oh, sorry.
[18:13] ---
    Nobody's really said "I'm home" to me before,
[18:18] Saki
    so I wasn't sure how to respond.
[18:25] Saki
    You've got a serious look on your face.
[18:30] Saki
    Don't worry about it.
[18:31] ---
    It's not like I was treated
    really badly or anything.
[18:40] Saki
    My mom would come home when I was at
    school to sleep and do housework,
[18:46] Saki
    and she'd be at work by the time I got home.
[18:50] Saki
    That was just our normal routine.
[18:57] Yuta
    It seemed like you two get along.
[18:59] Saki
    Huh? Oh. Well, we are family.
[19:06] Saki
    Today we went shopping for the
    first time in a long while.
[19:09] ---
    It was pretty fun.
[19:13] Yuta
    Really?
[19:14] Saki
    Yeah.
[19:17] Yuta
