The Little Sister Heroine is a trope common in multiple Japanese media that combines the idea that little sisters are cute and that cute things are to be fetishized. It goes like this: Little sisters are cute, right? And cute girls draw in viewers. And cute can be sexy. Take a few more 'logical' steps down the lines, and suddenly little sisters are love interests in anime, video games and visual novels. It is in fact one of the most popular heroines or love interests in Visual Novels, branching out from there into anime, perhaps surpassed only by the ever-present Tsundere and childhood friend. Like Childhood Friend Romance, it is extremely prone to lampshade hangings.

  • The Little Sister Heroine is a trope common in multiple Japanese media that combines the idea that little sisters are cute and that cute things are to be fetishized. It goes like this: Little sisters are cute, right? And cute girls draw in viewers. And cute can be sexy. Take a few more 'logical' steps down the lines, and suddenly little sisters are love interests in anime, video games and visual novels. It is in fact one of the most popular heroines or love interests in Visual Novels, branching out from there into anime, perhaps surpassed only by the ever-present Tsundere and childhood friend. Like Childhood Friend Romance, it is extremely prone to lampshade hangings. As a Love Interest trope based on the little sister/older brother dynamic, the story will usually dwell on the romantic tension a fair amount, though as always the brother may be completely oblivious. Despite the name, Little Sister Heroine attempts to mitigate the obvious incestuous fallout; They’re usually either a step sister, adopted or, somewhat more rarely, a cousin or other more distant relation. In almost all cases, the younger sister is going to be either some degree of tsundere, childish and clingy or simply highly devoted to their older brother. Finally, the relationship between the two will likely be noticed or exaggerated by the rest of the cast. If you don't notice at least several of these general characteristics, it's probably not this trope. It rarely works like this in real life. Those who have younger sisters themselves and hear about this trope often claim that they're more frequently annoying than cute, making this trope more wish fulfillment than anything like an accurate portrayal of sibling dynamics. Thanks to the Westermarck effect it is far more likely that the idea of any kind of romance with your sister will be either laughable or even outright disgusting. Also known in some circles as an imouto heroine. See also Brother-Sister Incest and Flirty Stepsiblings. May overlap with Big Brother Attraction and usually will with Not Blood Related.
