The Elder Sister-Like One, Vol. 2
Yuu is now living with his new big sister-an inhuman being he encountered in his uncle's basement! It's the middle of summer, and the two of them are enjoying their days, playing in the garden, splitting watermelons, and taking naps together. Life as a family is simple yet pleasant for these unlikely siblings. Little by little, their bond seems to grow stronger, but Yuu has got an uneasy feeling he just can't shake...

This volume ended on a very sweet note despite the revelation of the characters’ anxieties. I also became aware that this series could technically be considered various flashbacks due to the narration bubbles/texts, most likely done by Yuu-kun. With that in mind as lovely as some of these moments are, it makes the reality that Chiyo is going to have to leave Yuu-kun all the more heartbreaking.

I can't believe this was better than the first one! Yuu and Chiyo's relationship is so sweet to me and I adore seeing them together. Chiyo overreacting to Yuu getting bitten by a mosquito is hilarious, but her dismay over failing to cook properly is so adorable. The mangaka does a fantastic job creating joyous, cute, and creepy artwork depending on the situation. I'm interested in learning more about Chiyo and the other contracts she had formed. I want to learn more about Yuu's family as well and am curious what volume three has to offer. Hopefully I get some answers, but I'll be content with seeing Chiyo try to acclimate to human life. I didn't realize I'd adore this series as much as I do when I started reading, but I really do enjoy it.

If you liked the first volume, you'll love this one! It seems like it's building to something more sinister. 😈

Also auch wenn ich den Manga wirklich toll finde, muss ich sagen, dass der Preis wirklich frech ist. 130 Seiten für 7,50€ anzubieten, wenn andere Verlage deutlich dickere Mangas für deutlich weniger Geld anbieten, geht für mich einfach nicht. Das in der Erstauflage dann eine sehr schöne Postkarte beiliegt, mildert das ganze zwar, aber ich finde es trotzdem unmöglich.
Aber nun zu Inhalt. Ich mag die Story, wenn sie auch sehr merkwürdige Fanservice-Momente enthält. Die Emotionen kommen trotzdem bei mir an. Yu ist ein Waisenjunge, dessen Onkel schwer krank im Krankenhaus liegt. Er wünscht sich nichts mehr als eine Familie, die ihn liebt. Im ersten Band erhält er von einer Dämonin einen Wunsch und so wird dieser seine große Schwester. In diesem zweiten Band erlernt diese nun immer mehr Dinge des Alltags in der Menschenwelt und die Beziehung der beiden festigt sich. Das dieses Bruder-Schwester-Verhältnis immer wieder von erotischen Anspielungen und Fanservice durchspickt ist, wirkt etwas merkwürdig und inkonsistent. Trotzdem stört es mich nicht allzu sehr. Ich finde den Humor und vor allem die Charaktere einfach toll. Mit Yu kann man richtig mitfühlen und es kommt unglaublich echt herüber, wie er sich eine Familie wünscht und Onee-Chan als große Schwester annimmt. Auch der Dämon gefällt mir. Man merkt ihre dämonische Natur aber trotzdem kümmert sie sich gut um Yu.
Der Zeichenstil ist der Hammer. Ich liebe diese süßen Zeichnungen, es gibt viel Abwechslung und tolle Kontraste.
Ich werde die Reihe definitiv weiterlesen.

This continues to be far better than the "teenage boy finds himself living with a sexy demon" setup would have you believe. And while there still is some fanservice, it's less frequent than you might expect, and Pochi usually at least tries to have it make sense in the context of the story (e.g. Chiyo read that mosquito bites itch because of the saliva they inject. So clearly, she needs to suck the saliva out of Yuu's bites, so he won't itch anymore.) But the real focus continues to be on the very (ironically) human relationship forming between Yuu and Chiyo. It's by turns touching, dark, and comedic--and the note it ends on is downright heartwarming.
However, there's still a certain foreboding atmosphere that's always just on the periphery, and its subtlety is really well done. Despite how happy both characters are becoming, we, the readers, know that this can't last. Chiyo isn't human. Eventually, Yuu's uncle will get out of the hospital. There's going to be a reckoning at some point, and the closer Yuu and Chiyo get, the more painful (and potentially ugly) it's going to be. But that knowledge is really drawing me in and making me care about their happiness, fleeting though it may be. We'll see how long Pochi can keep this up, but for now, I'm solidly on board.

J’avais adoré le premier tome et il me tardait vraiment de découvrir le second. Et bien je l’ai autant apprécié que le tome précédent. Cette histoire est vraiment superbe à suivre. Je trouve qu’il a un côté très mignon dans ce manga, du moins touchant, c’est beaucoup d’émotions surtout face à la situation de Yuu. comme dans le premier tome, je le trouve vraiment attachant et ce qu’il vit est loin d’être facile. Surtout à son jeune âge. On continue d’explorer la relation entre Yuu et Chiyo. Tout ça prend une autre dimension dans cette suite. Je me demande vraiment comment tout ça va évoluer par la suite.
Dans ce second tome, on est plongé dans la vie quotidienne de Yuu et Chiyo. Ils apprennent peut à peu à cohabiter, à trouver leurs marques. Du moins surtout Chiyo étant donné que c’est un démon, elle n’y connait pas grand chose à ce monde. On les voit jouer ensemble dans le jardin, dormir ensemble, on les voit profiter d’une petite vie familiale tout ce qui a de plus banal en apparence. Plus les jours passent plus leur lien devient fort. Mais qu’en est-il réellement?
J’aime beaucoup voir l’évolution de Chiyo dans notre monde. Elle est de nature très curieuse et surtout elle adore apprendre un tas de choses sur les différents insectes et j’en passe. Et puis j’avoue que j’aime énormément la relation qu’elle a avec Yuu. Même si c’est loin d’être une véritable relation fraternelle, on sent qu’il y a au fond un petit truc malsain qui se met en place. Mais au final je trouve Yuu tellement plus lui même, plus épanoui depuis qu’il a Chiyo à ses côtés. Lui qui a toujours été rejeté depuis le décès de ses parents, qui est toujours solitaire, il a enfin quelqu’un à qui se confier, quelqu’un qui peut l’épauler. On le voit de toute façon qu’il est bien plus épanoui.
J’ai vraiment hâte de découvrir le troisième tome. Je me demande comment toute cette historie va évoluer. J’ai encore un tas de questions en tête et il me tarde vraiment de pouvoir découvrir tout ça. J’espère avoir mes réponses dans la suite. Je ne pensais pas que j’allais autant apprécier ce manga et pourtant. Comme quoi parfois on peut avoir de merveilleuses surprises. Une belle découverte que je ne regrette pas d’avoir lue!

Good story. Sister & brother get along well. Will it continue?
I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. The brother keeps vaguely alluding to something ominous coming eventually. So far the story has been nice. I wonder what's going to happen. Art, very well done. Dialogue, very very good. Characters, believable, likeable, & relatable.

More like a 3.5 stars to be honest. I really appreciate the fact that Chiyo is really working hard to be there for Yuu. But I still think with certain matters, she is a bit over the top. Especially when it comes to really simple matters. Like getting bit by a mosquito for example.

The story in this one is even better than in volume 1. I am hoping volume 3 gets translated soon so I can read that one too.

Tell me that she doesn't eat him or some shit at the end...
I'm more interested in why [SPOILER]Uncle has an Eldritch Goddess in his basement in the first place[/SPOILER]

Much like the first volume its mature yet cute and wholesome in a way. Its a really nice read and in this volume the main characters bond starts to strengthen.

Artwork improved considerably in this issue and the ran service was cut down. The story is taking some form all in all I am enjoying this series.

Another nice wholesome volume but it just wasn't enough, there are plenty of slice of life stories which are frankly better, Flying Witch, Vol. 1 and The Way of the Househusband, Vol. 1 come to mind.
It's nice to see a demon try to fill the void in this boys life by being his big sister but it just feels like there is something missing, the art is absolutely gorgeous though.

Even elder gods need love.
Like the 1st volume this book is not meant for younger readers (it is rated M for Mature or basically Rated R if it were a movie for parents that care if their kids watch that kind of thing.)
When Yuu makes a wish to an elder god for a big sister his life has been changed from miserable to something out of this world as his new "sister" learns more about being human and about emotions as they grow even closer to one another. What is a boy to do when your big sister can do things no ordinary human can do? Although not straight hentai (though the mangaka does do doujinshi for those looking for Shotocon) there are moments of affection showing things are not purely on a sibling scale with limited tentacle action and some magical healing saliva.
My favorite part would probably be when the thought of a mosquito drinking Yuu's blood incites his sister to consider wiping them all out of existence and he has to calm her down. :)
