Honestly really am losing interest in this. The older sister just turns me off completely. I really despise untouchable "cool" older sister characters where the brother is subservient. Both protag have limited agency because of her presence with the boy even less so compared to the girl.

Don't even get me started on her lesbian fangirl. Probs 2nd worst character.
Agree. It's a good joke here and there, but right now Author make her too perfect it's like she's the god who dictates everything in their relationship. The most glaring example I can think of was the storm episode. It felt great at first that the two were doing something for themselves, but the twist at the end that big sis planned that all along, though appeared funny at first, just undermined all the agency the two had up to that point. They just turned into puppets in big sis hand.

The lesbian fangirl is annoying a lot of the time, but I like her vibe with MC in this chapter though... :worry:

Pacing is a bit slow getting 10 pages every 2+ weeks without much semblence of a plot forming yet besides slice of life cute romance bits. Perfect Onee-san needs some sort of flaw or event to happen to her which changes the dynamic up.

It seems like the beach chapters are setting up Seira crushing on Asahi because they relate to each other and Seira has to know that Onee-san is untouchable/uninterested. However this would be a cheap plot device because we all know Asahi is crazy for Hii-chan and at most it'll just continue making Hii-chan jealous/pursue him more directly.

Well, I read all chapters available and got a read on what's the most important for the author... And thank God it's over tbh.
Other people already gave better written opinions, but I still want to say, it feels like the sister is the actual MC, and the main couple are just her subservient playthings. Like the author wanted to show off a cool and strong woman and created a romcom around her. She's not a piece, she's the puzzle.
Good luck to those who keep on going, tho. Hope I'm wrong and it gets better.

Sister reminds the "strong independent woman" archetype we often see in modern western media.

Some authors don't get it that the traits of "perfect", "no flaws" and "always in control" are usually traits of a villain, not a side character / main hero.

The perfect sister is also a little chaotic and likes to have fun. Cute hina pout
