wow
that's just......... one sadder way of reading the story.
But imagine when little sister in high school or older brings home her girlfriend to be similar to Kuga in certain ways though /♥ gosh the heartthrob.

I hope we get to read another oneshot of Natsu being in highschool.

Dam, this story has given me mixed motions. I don't know what to feel. I feel happy and angsty at the same time inner scream

the last four pages... I didn't see it coming O_o
I feel bad for her

This was good!

aahhaha, wow...totally unexpected...but I like it...actually want more from it :v

I looooove all the one shots of Hirari. They release the best one shots for me. This one is not an exemption as well. Im getting the vibe that the eldest has a thing for the new girl and I was right <3

Am I the only person that expected that ending from a certain point? Maybe I just like it when sisters fight over a girl. Is that weird?

Really cute but that was a depressing ending...

I prefer the story as it is.

The ending wasn't as unexpected for me, but was no less enjoyable.

This

Lol that older sister was SUCH a tsundere! She's so cute pretending she's doing it for herself when she's being nice to her baby sister. The story made her seem like she was just going to be some bitch, but she turned out to be really adorable in the end. Very cute.
And I'm really liking this mangaka; she's quickly become a favorite.

and this

Yeah, definitely liked this ending better than what (usually) wouldve happened :O nice change of pace I guess.

summed up my feelings.

Looking at it a bit later, it really wasn't a depressing ending at all. If you ignore the bait-and-switch of making it look like the younger sister was romantically attracted to the older girl, it ended up good for all concerned. After all, what younger sister wanted was a friend and for her sister to be nicer to her and she got both. Plus, both the others got a loving relationship out of it, so that's a good thing too.

Beyond that, the younger sister also got a wider perspective which opened her eyes to a lot of good things and I can't really call that a bad thing.

What a good ending! I definitely prefer it that way.

Re-reading, this is actually very sweet and cute.

I found myself staring at the last panel on page 16 for a while...

My heart doesn't know what to feel. I think the artist did that purposely by putting the POV of Natsu

I don't like the big sister Aki. =n=

I don't like the big sister Aki. =n=

I think Aki cares a lot for her sister, but has a bad habit of doing something for a good reason but not telling anyone the thought process to lead her there. Like in the flashback, she does things with her sister's benefit in mind, but leaves out the "why" so it looks kind of like being mean.

I can't believe I have never read this. It was cute in a totally unexpected way. I mean I can see that there might be a sisters fight but I didn't think the sis would be tsundere to the MC. I can relate to the MC since I have a big sister and she gets what she wants even now.

yes that tsundere sis, awesome!

I wish the author would do another version, this time with the older sister and how she and kuga-san got together

so i was rereading this and i'm wondering... it was Kuga Yukiko or Kaga Yukiko? they both seem to appear in the story so...

I'm wondering what kind of people would call this story sad, depressing, and angsty? seriously they must have very little tolerance. lil sis here got her first heart broken so? that's not sad that sweet! :D

Big sis is definitely a tsundere! XD

"Now that I think about it, in the end, Onee-chan always shared a little bit with me..." So it's something like, you can fuck her on Tuesdays but I get her the rest of the week?

She just let her little sister be friend her girlfriend :D I think it just to show that onee-chan is actually nice.

I feel like there was a missed opportunity for NTR somewhere..
