OniAi

About OniAi

OniAi (お兄ちゃんだけど愛さえあれば関係ないよねっ) arrives as a comedy anime by SILVER LINK. and Nexus (2012), and the premise is easy to summarize. At its core: Akiko is thrilled to be reuniting with Akito, the handsome older brother she hasn’t seen in years! In fact, she might be a little too excited.

Soon after, this pint-sized cutie has a big brother complex, and she’s not interested in sharing his attention. Unfortunately for little sister, she and Akito won’t be living alone: three gorgeous girls from the pupil council will be along for the ride!

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Anastasia Nasuhara (Minori Chihara) and Akiko Himenokouji (Ibuki Kido) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
