Eromanga sensei

Big Brother, when will you be home? I'm at the Gotanno Station, so I'll be home soon.

We-Wel-Welcome home!

Welcome home, Big Brother!

Welcome home, Big Brother.

No!

Welcome home, Big Brother.

Okay!

I'm home!

Well, I guess that's expected.

Sagiri, I'll leave the souvenirs from the beach here.

Welcome home.

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

For what?

Nothing.

Anyways, how was it? The beach... the trip!

Yeah, it was fun. I got a lot of work done, too.

And...

This.

A straw hat?

Doesn't it feel like summer?

And saying this might have the opposite effect, but...

One day, when you're able to go outside again,

let's go to the beach together.

S-S-Sagiri!

Don't make any lewd misunderstandings. It's a swimsuit!

H-How is it? Does it look good?

Uh... Um...

Okay! That's it!

Tell me what you think when we go for reals!

Yeah.

Let's go together someday.

Celebrate! "The World's Cutest Little Sister" on sale tomorrow (9/10)!! Everyone better buy it! 2017.9.9 Written by: Masamune Izumi Illustration: Eromanga

It goes on sale tomorrow! I'm so happy!

Eromanga-sensei! Eromanga-sensei!

I don't know anyone by that name!

Whoa!

What?

Finally, tomorrow is the release date of our newest book!

Yeah.

A bookstore in Akiba is going to hold a "Masamune Izumi Faire" for it.

Want to go check it out together?

Together?

I'll be going now!

So, this is what you meant when you said "together".

It's a sibling date.

I-Idiot!

Now I have my third series.

It's been three years since I debuted. It felt long, yet short.

Big Brother, you started writing novels...

I think about five years ago.

Back then, Mom had just passed away, and the entire house was gloomy.

Masamune... Are you lonely?

I'm...

I'm not lonely! I'm fine!

I see.

But, I don't know.

What should I do for my family?

If you smile and live a joyous life, that's all we need.

If you're happy, we're happy. Because we're family.

Mom too?

Yeah.

Got it.

Ever since, I did all sorts of things, thinking I had to find something I liked.

Everything was fun, but I couldn't get engrossed into them.

That's when I found people writing stories on the internet.

They seemed to have fun.

And I thought, maybe this is it.

You got hooked?

Yeah! It was super-duper fun.

Why?

There was a trigger for it.

Oh, I see.

By the way, what were you doing back then, Sagiri?

Refusing to go to school.

Because!

After Mom and Dad got divorced,

I didn't go to school for a while.

How did Hamanoumi do?

By "for a while", you mean that afterwards, you got over it and started going to school?

I don't know. You talk about sumo wresting a lot, but I don't know much about it.

Yeah, there was a trigger for it. I went to grade school properly.

Eh? Why? Professional sumo is so amusing.

Let's go to middle school properly, too.

We're young enough to find...

In due time.

So, what was your trigger?

That's a secret.

Sagiri, you're going to be late for school.

Hmm.

What's with this guy?

Hamanoumi advanced his rank to juryo in professional sumo yesterday!

Episode 33 - Episode 35 NEW

Episode 36 - Episode 38 NEW

Episode 39 - Episode 40 NEW

What's with this guy?

I mean, it was the very first story I ever wrote,

so it was worse than what I write now, and pretty cringeworthy.

But, it was fun.

"The Adventures of Masamune the Hero", right?

You were reading it, too!?

F-Forget about that story right now! Got that?

I am Masamune the Hero!

All right!

The Adventures of Masamune the Hero Congratulations Completion of Story

Yee-haw!

Dad!

I'm going to be a professional author!

Well, that's rather sudden. Did something happen?

I came to a realization.

I was actually a genius!

Why are you laughing?

Oh, sorry.

I know, hold on a sec.

It just arrived, but I'll give it to you.

Eh? But...

You're going to be a professional author. You need one, right?

Yeah!

This is super awesome!

That's what got me hooked onto novels.

So that's how it was.

There was someone who said the first story I ever wrote was interesting.

There was someone who drew illustrations for the characters I created.

It made me really happy, and it was super-duper fun.

That's why I aimed to become a professional.

The only thing that linked us together was the novel website's forums and e-mail.

But I think we were friends.

Did you watch the drama last night?

Yeah, I saw it.

The other day, that main character...

Did you read my new piece?

Not yet. I just woke up.

What? You were still asleep?

Are you by chance...

a NEET?

No way!

Let's see.

I-I'm a college student!

I see. So you're an adult.

Yeah! What about you?

I'm 11!

I see. You're younger than me.
