Something about same gender siblings getting along and acting like siblings just speaks to my family fluff loving heart. Unfortunately, a vast majority of asian... more>> novels (cough chinese cough) seem to think that opposite gender siblings= best, brother/sister complex (and borderline romantic gross) and same gender sibling= toxic, sisters ABSOLUTELY CANNOT SUPPORT EACH OTHER, must steal fiance or be a jealous biatch (same gender brothers to a lesser degree as well). Maybe is because I have a bunch of sisters (and only one brother), but my best friends are my siblings! This list is for all those with good relationships with their siblings. Please add more in comments I missed, I want all the feels!!! This list is in no particular order, just added to when I remember and in boy-girl order. NOT YURI OR YAOI, STRICTLY FAMILY VIBES! <<less

BG. Series with younger brothers as male leads. either it's a stepbrother, half-brother or bio brother (though I prefer the first two way more).... more>>

If there is a younger brother ML but he is non-virg*n, a playboy or scum, I wouldn't put it down here. I prefer cute virg*n younger brother or the obsessive yandere younger brother trope.

Manga with younger brother ML that I like: Binetsu Kuukan. Game with younger brother ML that I like: Shun from Watajuu. <<less

Stories where you have an older big sister like character protecting/taking care of her younger, smaller "persons of interest", usually because they require her protection, or because she desires them in some form. "Love" is not a requirement so long as they have a good relationship.... more>>

The Big Sister character must at least look significantly more mature than the partner, meaning that Lolibabas (Grandmother lolis), or loli adults (which are usually more used as mascot characters), are not counted.

The partner character has to be younger, and most of the time, physically shorter. In cases where they are not shorter, then the older sister character must at least be much more experienced to make up for it (for example, MILF).

Examples:

- Onee-shota (Older sister + Little Boy)
- Female Teacher + Student
- Young Mother + Children
- Older Sister + Younger Sibling

The Protagonist may be the Older Sister-type character, or the one being fancied, doesn't matter.

So to explain some of the terms used:

* "Onee" = the Bis sis, the Onee-chan, the Onee-sama, the Aneue, the MILF, etc.

* "Shota" = When the partner is a little boy
* "Loli" = When the partner is a little girl
* "Shonen" = when the partner is a male young adult, who doesn't look or behave like a Shota anymore
* "Shoujo" = when the partner is a female young adult, who doesn't look or behave like a Loli anymore

Limited to JP stories, no Chinese, Korean, Western, etc. <<less

its hard to find good sibling stories where the siblings are consistently one of the main focuses, so some in of these stories it is noted that the siblings "come and go".
