/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Having a little sister is not as great a thing as my friends think, at least that is the way it is for me. Think of this analogy: in every class, their are a few groups of outstanding students, right? Now, think of the most eye-catching group among them, for example a group centered around a leader of a sport club, a handsome genius, or an extremely cute girl. Now, imagine a girl who is peerless in even such a group. I'm talking about the kind that people hesitate for hours before approaching, and most likely won't have any relationships with in the future, the kind of girl who seems like she's living in a completely different world. That is to say, the type of girl who's “far above you”. Most guys are not good at dealings with girls like that, and can only think, “how nice it would be if she were to notice me.” I'm one of those guys.
Now, imagine that such a girl is your immediate relative. Of course, imagine this while keeping in mind the psychological distance between you and her.
...Now, do you understand my unease? How having a sister like that isn't really a good thing?
“I'm back.”
Out of politeness, I greeted her. But my little sister didn't respond; in fact, she didn't even glance at me. My sailor uniform and mini-skirt clad little sister was sunk in the soft sofa, legs crossed, happily giggling at her cellphone. Her laughing face was cute, but she had never, and I suspected that she never will, turn such a cute laughing face to me.
“Eh--? Don't tell me--? What is that? Ah ha ha, what an idiot.”
I'm the idiot for trying to greet you. Thinking such depressing thoughts in my head, I opened the refrigerator door, took out the box of barley tea from, poured it into a glass and drank it down in a single gulp. “Ha--”, I breathed out comfortably, and left the living room.
“Yes, yes...I got it. I will go there after I get changed.”

It's almost time for dinner, and she's going out.
“Whatever, it's none of my business,” I thought and walked upstairs.
My name is Kyousuke Kousaka, age 17, studying at a nearby high school. There is no reason for me to be shy of saying this of myself: that I am an ordinary high school student. I don't attend any school clubs, nor possess any hobbies worthy of mention. Although sometimes I too listen to popular music, or read novels and mangas, but not to the point where they count as hobbies. After school, I either hang out with friends on the streets, chatting, or read mangas or watch television at home. From time to time...I study for a bit. Isn't this what a normal high school student is like? Perhaps you feel that such a life is too calm and boring, but I believe that it is important to be “normal”. To me, “normal” means to be in synch with people around you, living a solid life. The “calmness” means the risks are low.

Fortunately, my grades so far are not bad. If I don't deviate from this trend in the future, I may be able to matriculate at a pretty good college. As to what I'll do after that, I can mull over it during my four years of college life. The people who start getting nervous about such things now are usually those who, if they continue the way they are now, won't be able to enter the profession they like. It sounds nice to talk about, “following a dream”, but it carries the implication of deviating from “normality”. In other words, high risk and not quite “calm”. At least that kind of life doesn't suit me.
All in all, I have long forgotten my childhood dreams...if I am forced to speak of it, I'd have to say my dream is continue to lead a perfectly ordinary, unglamourous, unrecognized, and tranquil life.

My house is a two-story building; my family has four members including me, my little sister, and our parents. It's a borderline middle-class and exceedingly common family.
My room and my sister's are both on the second floor. I changed into normal clothes, relaxed for about ten minutes and then went downstairs because I wanted to go to the washroom before starting to study. The doorway is right next to be stairs, and on the left of the side opposite the door is the door to the living room.

I crashed right into my little sister as I reached the bottom of the stairs. The location was a dead angle from both paths, and is the place in our house where accidents occur most often.
With a soft thud, my left shoulder collided with my little sister's chest (mysterious voice: oh ho ho!). Although the impact itself was small, it nevertheless made my little sister's bag slip from her hand, and the items inside scattered all over the floor.
“Ah!”
“Oh, sorry,” I sincerely apologized, and reached out my hand to pick up the make up, etc. that dropped on the floor...

Does this lead to wincest?

If so, proceed.

If not, tl;dr.

My little sister realized my intention and slapped away my outstretched hand without warning.
“Wha...” fixed by my little sister's sharp gaze, I was so stunned speechless for a moment.
Next, my little sister said, “...it's alright, don't touch anything.” With such a sentence, my litle sister silently started picking up the objects on the floor by herself.
Sigh...this is unsettling...this girl....Does she not want other people to touch her stuff?
Is her older brother that loathsome?
I wordlessly lowered my head, watching my little sister who's expressionlessly picking up her things.
“......”
A tense atmosphere permeated the doorway.
Her back turned to me, my little sister hurriedly put on her leather shoes.
“...I'm leaving,” she muttered as though she's completing a missing, and then closed the door with a bang.

>>2934635
>My name is Kyousuke Kousaka
>Kyousuke

[X] GET ALTEISEN, CHASE SISTER. SHE'S GOING OUT DUE TO EINST CONTROL.

I get this feeling that the sister gets raped hard.

>>2934647
This lead to the realization that her sister love playing imouto-theme eroge game

>>2934650
...Truly, as you have seen, such is the relationship between my little sister and I. I am not very angry about it either. I have ceased to regard her as my little sister a long time ago. As I act as though it was a classmate who treated me like that, I went no further then sighing, “ack! This is just how that person is.”
If you think a stupid older brother like me is laughable, then laugh at me all you want (mysterious voice: it's really sad, bro...). Oh well, my life goes on even if I can't communicate properly with my sister.
“...Hmmm, when did things start changing in this direction?”
I have a faint feeling that she hasn't always been this way.
Nevermind. Even though I am annoyed and troubled, this is enough on this subject. I'll go back to what I was going to do.
After going to the restroom and then washing my hands, I lay on the sofa. I faced the ceiling, crossed my legs, and picked up a weekly magazine fromt he stack besides me.
Eh? Didn't I decide I was going to start studying?
Lying there, I flipped through the pages, skimming the fighting comic, feeling the emptiness in my heart. Although my reason tells me that this isn't the time for me to do this, a crushing wave of lethargy welled up to stop me from acting. Ah—no, please no. Please, I don't want to study.
This lethargy, it is probably a disease common to all students. (mysterious voice: I agree, I agree...) I shook my head several times like a wet dog, and then stood up. Opening the door and entering the corridor, there I found a strange object.
“...eh?”

This is a good light novel
No H scene unfortunately but nevertheless still a good one

I'm looking for the manga raw though

>>2934662
The item had fallen into a nook besides the door, right behind the shoebox. Although I didn't notice it the last time I passed by, there was indeed a white, flat, box-like thing sticking out between the shoebox and the wall. That I reached out for it was probably the result of my wish to avoid reality. Because I didn't want to study, my brain was constantly trying to find excuses to do other stuff.
Even if I picked it up, I could expect it to provide no mor than a few seconds of delay. However, the results were unasked for. Thanks to the object, I temporarily became too distracted to worry about studying.
Just as I saw the what I drew out from behind the box, “...what is this?” I cried out hysterically. As for the reason, it's because this thing is too out of place in my house.
This...ummm...this is...what is it?

>>2934675

Holding the box between my fingers, I examined it carefully, but I still didn't know exactly what it was.
It was a box for a DVD disc, so far everything was clear. After all, boxes like it are on display all over the place in video shops...in truth, the letters “DVD” were clearly printed on the box. But I wasn't sure what it contained.
At that time, my expession must have been one of shock.
On the box was an illustration, the subject of which is a large-eyed little girl. Standing at about the height of a higher grade student in grade school, she's a very cute girl.
“So the eyes and hair are pink,” I murmured to myself. My eyes narrowed as though they belonged to a detective examining objects at the scene of a crime. (Mysterious voice: secret power activate...= =)
Perhaps it's the theme colour, the overall shading of the box was dominated by white and pink.
That's not important. The problem is:
“Why is the kid outfitted like this.”
The little girl was dressed in extremely suggestive clothing. I had trouble trying to decide if it was better classified as swimsuit or bandages. Anyways, it would make people wish to persuade her into wearing more decent clothes.

>>2934679

From the bandage-like attire extended something sort of like a rocket launcher, so that the little girl flew in the air, with a trail of stars in her wake (☆ <--like that). Moreover, she was lightly holding in one hand a rod that exuded a mechanical aura (is it a lance?) (mysterious voice: I think it's a very normal magic staff...). The rude design makes one think of the reknowned halberd Lu Bu wielded. It's obviously meant for combat, either to sweep the enemy army before its master, or to annihiliate the opponent; in short, it forces the beholder to think of such terrible usages.
What a dangerous person.
The words written in latin letters at the top part of the box was probably the title. “Stars, Wa-ter-me-er-er? First printing......limited edition......? What is that?”
Although it looked like it's valuable, it should be just anime. My guess was probably fairlya ccurate, even though I hadn't watched anime for a long time, and therefore wasn't up to date on such things.
“Wait...why would there be something like this here?” Just as I was standing stupefied at the doorway with <<Stars☆Wittie Miller>> in my hands, a large question mark rising from my head, the door opened with a pang in front of me.
“I'm back—eh, what's going on Kyousuke, curling up in the fetal position in front of the doorway.”
“Don't mind me, mom. I'm just relaxing for a bit.” (mysterious voice: what an restful method of relaxation...-_-! Why don't you go and play at being a corpse...)
That was dangerous--!? I had thought I was dead for sure. Fortunately, I hid that thing under me the moment the door opened. Whew...that was close.

>>2934674
Don't, they make Kirino look like a dog-girl. Just glancing at one of the chapters was upsetting enough.

>>2934684

I wonder who did me this turn—could be a trap in order to frame me? If someone saw me holding that, I would probably be censured in a family meeting.
Even right now, I can imagine Kirino looking at me as if I were trash.
My bag-holding mother was looking down with a pitying expressing at me, who was still maintaining a tortuous posture. (mysterious voice: see, you are already being looked at with such an expression...)
“....The lady next door and I were just talking about how psychological guidance for students is popular nowadays.”
“Wait, wait a minute...don't jump to conclusions, I'm very normal. Only...oh yeah, today, I overworked myself.”
“Keep on spinning tales. How can you possibly study so much as to accumulate that much pressure?”
Such harsh words from a parent. Can't you have a bit more confidence in your child?
“That's nonsense; my grades aren't bad, as you already know.”
“Isn't that thanks to the nice Manami? It's because your childhood friend tutors you personally, don't pretend you achieved it yourself. Whenever did you study on your own?”
“Ack...”
She had hit upon my weakness, preventing me from arguing back. After all, I was still reading manga five minutes ago.
I hid <<Stars☆Wittie Miller>> under my clothes, and crawled like an inchworm from this dangerous place. However, my mother called out after me.

>>2934690

“Kyousuke, mom doesn't really mind, but don't read things like H books right in front of the door.”
What a pity. She's my mother after all, to be able to guess the cause of my weird behaviour with such accuracy. Her history of finding all of my secret collection while cleaning up my room was not a fluke. On the other hand, the stuff that is hidden under my stomach right now, would be even more incriminating than those she found before.
After carefully passing my mother, I clutched the book like an American footbal player, agilely ran up the stairs, dashed into my room, shut the door, and finally took a deep breath. [TL note: what book?]
“Whew...”
I took that thing out from under my clothes, holding it in my right hand, and wiping my sweat with my left.
Mission complete. I had became familiar with such tasks a long time ago, and I won't talk about th reason. I trust all healthy boys in middle and high schools can understand my meaning. (Mysterious voice: True, I can understand. But I've never done anything like that...)

>>2934695

“...Ah, I brought it back with me after all,” I muttered to myself as I glanced at <<Stars☆Wittie Miller>>.
Anyways, there weren't any options in such a situation. At the time, I was searching for an excuse to not study; moreover, I was pretty interested in this item whose presence here is impossible.
Therefore, I was forced to give up on today's exam review, and decided to start investigation on this item. (Mysterious voice: You merely don't want to study...)
The size of my room is six tatamis, with a bed, a desk, and bookshelves and cupboards for storing reference books and manga, etc. The decorations consist of a grass-green carpet plus blue curtains, and the walls are only ornamented with Japanese-fashioned calendars my mother brought back from the streets; there are no posters. Other than these, there is only a small boom box; there is nothing like a computer, a TV, or a game console.
It's a room completely lacking in personality, don't you think? Because my principle is to be “normal” as much as possible, it fits me perfectly. By the way, I have given up on hiding pornography a long time ago; now I just keep them in a cardboard box under my bed. I had also asked my mother not to clean under my bed (<--admiration)....Still, I couldn't be sure that my mother would abide by the non-aggression treaty: even if she had made it part of her daily routine to update herself on the state of my collection, there's no way I would know about it...(Mysterious voice: you have already lost, completely lost...).

>>2934699

I don't want to think about it anymore, or I wouldn't be able to keep my mind. The most effective defensive strategy that I could use was to choose books that are as unquestionable as possible, so that I wouldn't be lectured in a family meeting even if they were discovered.
...Speaking of which, seriously, where do people hide such things if they didn't have their own room? I think hat the most effective strategy would be to openly display them somewhere. Putting things in perspective, my anxiety over the fact that my room cannot be locked is a luxury.
In reality, it only took a few seconds for me to go through that chain of thought.
I sat onto the bed, crossing my legs. With one hand holding the DVD box for close examination and the other holding my chin, I looked like I was in deep thought.
“The more I look at it, the more this packaging seems out of place in my house...”
Under the light of the iridescent lamp, Stars☆Wittie's face glowed with her smile. Thinking a little further, it's really scary how she can smile while holding such a scary weapon in her hand. (Mysterious voice: it clearly is a normal magic staff.)
“Hmm...”
...Who could it belong to? I scanned through the face of all of my family members in my head. Even so...I couldn't think of anyone who would fit the role of <<Stars☆Wittie Miller>>. Of course, I didn't remember this anime as one that had been played in the living room. (At the time, I didn't know that DVD's could be watched using a computer.) (Mysterious voice: You are completely abnormal...you're completely out of touch...)
Hmm....how could this be? Why would this thing appear where I found it?

>>2934704

As I opened the box of the disc whle musing, “wha...!?” I once again received a severe shock, one that was much stronger than what I received when I saw that DVD box. What I saw was this: the DVD box did not contain the disc for <<Stars☆Wittie Miller>>, but another similar DVD disc instead.
...That much is a common occurence. After listening to good music with the small tabletop boom box, I sometimes feel that putting the discs back into the original boxes one by one was too irksome, and instead put the discs into random boxes. Later on, I would no longer remember which CD was in which box, causing no small amount of confusion. Probably the owner of the disc was being lazy like me, and put into the box for <<Stars☆Wittie Miller>> a disc that may or may not be a DVD.
Hmm—Hm--, I understand. This is something that happens often. However—however...
Why is the title of the disc instead <<Amorous relationship with the Little Sister>>? And of all people, it is found by me...what are you inciting me to do?
Furthermore, what is that enticing “R-18” label for?
“...I need to remain calm...” cold sweat was pouring down my forehead, my breathe was hurried. That was close, really close. If you ask me what was close, it was the scene just now when my mother an into me. If this thing was found on me, I don't thing any way out other than committing suicide. Was this a trap to frame me, after all?

>>2934707

Although I don't really understand such things, my instinct sounded the alarm for me. The amount of black, indecent aura emanating from the title is stunning...!Even without such a seductive label, things are clear enough from the title! No matter how I look at it, I shouldn't be touching this thing...
“Kyousuke—are you concentrating on you studies?”
“Eh--!?”
I emitted a shriek of despair and ducked under the blanket.
Poking out my head and peeked in the direction of the door, and saw my mother pushing the door open and entering without even knocking, then stood stupefied at the sight of his son acting crazy.
“...Sorry, it looks like I came in at a bad time...?” (Mysterious voice: your mother is absolutely doing this on purpose, you poor child...)
“I don't mind, mom. I'm only doing a vocalization exercise. --Also, please knock before entering.
“Yeah, sorry. I'll make sure to knock starting next time,” my mother said with a phony smile, and then shut the door.

>>2934709
And that's it
That's all the translation I got from google
I really interest in this LN and hopes people in Baka-Tsuki keep translating it
Now, if I can see the manga RAW...

I'm surprised nobody put or say 'cool story, bro'

>>2934720
Anon deliver?

>>2934720
Currently reading it. Stop bugging!

>>2934720
I might have regained a bit of faith in /jp/, but I'm pretty sure it's because they're fapping.

tl;dr
What the fuck is this shit?
GTFO faggot

>>2934715
This translation has more than a few issues.
I didn't read much of it, but some things jumped out at me:

The 'Mysterious Voice' has been inserted by the translator as their impressions.

>Stars☆Wittie Miller
This should be 'Stardust Witch Meruru'

The English is awkward. There are numerous mistranslated lines.

Kyousuke certainly does not 'speak' this formally.

Is the mysterious voice part of the LN?

That mysterious voice sure was annoying.

>>2934715
Fuck. I was in a cheery mood reading this until you completely ruined it. Well, thanks for this. I'll add it to my "things to follow" list.

>>2934742
But it is still readable and enjoyable at least
The LN is quite a hype in japan
I might started looking for the raw too

>>2934748
I don't think so
I think it's TL comment
And I hate it when they do that

What's LN?

So, where's the rape?

>>2934756
Why is mysterious voice such a slut

Light novel. It's flows like a manga/VN, but is full of words and not so many pictures.

she is not cute. she is the most beautiful and sexy being ever made up.

I love light novel writing style, I love how it's so succinct and focuses on dialogue. So many Western novels these days are tl;dr descriptive language.

That's it?

>>2934759
The translation is actually quite terrible. It doesn't read remotely like the original (even excluding the errors). I guess if you just want to know what happens, then it works.

I know the LN is popular.

>>2934766
>The 'Mysterious Voice' has been inserted by the translator as their impressions.

>>2934827
Do you have the original?
I can't find it in google

You wouldn't like VN if you don't like to read

Eh? Dang I thought there was more. Thanks for posting though.

Don't spoil please; I'm only on the fourth chapter of the second volume.

>The 'Mysterious Voice' has been inserted by the translator as their impressions.
Jesus christ, they can't be serious. Well, I guess it makes sense why the translation quality is so fucking awful.

Where did you guys read the manga?
I can't find it anywhere

It's too bad really, oreimo is actually pretty engaging (at least up to the point where I've read, the person who originally lent me the first novel assures me that the third one is just as good). Kyousuke makes some pretty astute observations.

>>2934928
Inexperienced in English as well, it seems. From looking at his translation, I assume he went from Chinese to English?

A good place to start looking for the RAWs is Chinese websites or Dengeki G's Magazine RAWs for the chapters

That screenshot from YMK where a guy says something about "guys whose first and last names start with 'K' are homosexual" comes to mind.

Apparently the manga version is a ongoing series in Dengeki G's, starting from the March 2009 issue.

I can't seem to help disliking the manga.
Although that is the exact same chapter that I acquired my initial negative impression from in the first place, so I suppose using the same chapter to justify maintaining it means I haven't really given it a chance.
Maybe it's just because I liked Kanzaki Hiro's portrayal of Kirino so much.

Interestingly, Kanzaki Hiro also makes music:
http://www.discogs.com/artist/Hiroyuki+Oda
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm5321419

>>2939325
I wasn't exactly blown away by it either - guess we'll just have to wait until a decent RAW compilation surfaces.

From what I've read so far the light novels are entertaining, so I'm satisfied.

>Interestingly, Kanzaki Hiro also makes music:
>http://www.discogs.com/artist/Hiroyuki+Oda
>http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm5321419
Bookmarked. Nice find, I didn't know he dabbled in music.

>>2939366
I was trying to find reviews, but I could only find people's impressions of the first chapter. Those won't tell you much. I suppose I'll have to wait until the first tank comes out.

I was surprised to find them as entertaining as I did.

It surprised me too.
