Story

Kyousuke Kousaka is a high school boy living an average, quiet life, but it all takes a sudden change when his little sister Kirino asks him for advice.

Kirino has a popular and fulfilling life, but the truth is that she loves anime, games, and other otaku interests.

Kyousuke answers her request for advice seriously, and the frozen relationship they shared begins to thaw from the resulting encounters with Kuroneko and Saori Vageena, two girls they meet through a SNS, conflicts with Kirino's best friends, Ayase and Kanako, and help from Kyousuke's childhood friend, Manami.

Now that the latest issue involving Kirino's study abroad is over, what kind of events will her “advice” bring up next?

She's a high schooler at the same school as Kyousuke, but her personal outfit is usually a cosplay of her favorite character from the anime Maschera. Some of her juvenile actions are hard to bear, but she's also family-oriented and takes good care of her little sisters. She's an expert at games, and joins the game research club in high school. “Kuroneko” is her internet handle, and her real name is Ruri Gokou.

She's the admin of the SNS community whose IRL meet brought her, Kirino and Kuroneko together. She was also the one who invited the two of them to hang out after the meet-up, and she's very caring.

	Manami Tamura VA: Satomi Satou Kyousuke's childhood friend and fellow high school student. Her speech is a little slow and she follows her own pace, but her looks are average.
