About OniAi

Here is what OniAi (お兄ちゃんだけど愛さえあれば関係ないよねっ) is about, retold in plain terms: a comedy, ecchi and romance anime by SILVER LINK. and Nexus (2012). The premise: 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 student council will be along for the ride!

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Minori Chihara as Anastasia Nasuhara and Ibuki Kido as Akiko Himenokouji. It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
