We learned back in October 2017 that Seiji Ebisu’s light novel property Ore ga Suki nano wa Imōto dakedo Imōto ja nai, which translates as The One I Love is My Little Sister But She’s Not a Little Sister, is up for an anime adaptation that’s been set for a fall 2018 debut in October. Initially, all we knew was that Hiroyuki Furukawa, recently of Hajimete no Gal, is on board as both the director and the character designer and that NAZ x Magia Draglier is set as the anime studio as well.
Now, we’ve got a new key visual that you can see below, a pair of character visuals, and the staff and some cast reveals. Yuichiro Momose is handling the series composition.
The first round of casting has revealed the leads with Tasuku Hatanaka as Yū Nagami and Reina Kondo as Suzuka Nagami.
The novels have been running since 2016 with artwork by Gintaro for a total of six volumes so far.
Check out the official site and Twitter.
Plot Concept: The “awkward sibling romantic comedy” series centers around the younger sister Suzuka Nagami and the older brother Yū Nagami. Suzuka is a beautiful third-year middle school student who has excellent grades and is the student council president. She wrote a novel about a little sister who dotes on her older brother, and the novel wins a light novel award. After they discuss the matter, Yū is the one who debuts as a proxy light novel author instead of Suzuka, under the pen name Chikai Towano.
