I wonder if "big sis" actually means biological sister, vs. a school/senpai sense of "onee-sama"
Like in Railgun, Kuroko is calling Misaka "onee-sama" all the time but they're not related.
The production stuff was interesting. Average of 11 days to do 12-14 pages plus a color frontispiece. If we combine the hours into full-time days, that would be 5-6 days, or a week, to do 13 pages. Webcomics tend to top out at like 3 color pages a week, or in the case of El Goonish Shive, 3 B&W pages + 3 B&W strips so maybe like 4.5 pages. Pro Western comics tend to have someone spending a month on drawing 22 pages, with other people doing the writing and coloring.
Conclusion: Kosuzume as unmentioned assistants, or is a art-drawing beast.
Edit: OTOH, the pages tend to be like 2-4 panels, whereas Girl Genius and EGS today have 8 panel pages, so it's not the same.
