"Aren't you done yet?"
Rin traversed along the aisle between two rows of shelves stuffed with books, heaving a great sigh as she approached her older brother. She came to a stop and cast an annoyed glare in his direction.
Kyousuke briefly glanced at her, noticing the comic she had clutched to her chest. There was a cat depicted on the cover, a fact that came as no surprise to him. He turned his attention back to the rows of manga. "Sorry, I'm just having a hard time finding something new."
"You read too much manga." Rin's ponytail swung with a shake of her head. She turned to one of the shelves and scanned the rows of manga volumes. "Eh? What the heck kind of title is this?" With a perplexed look, she pulled it out and read the back, raising an eyebrow.
Kyousuke caught sight of the title. That was one he was familiar with, a manga about a guy who couldn't believe how cute his little sister was. "Oh yeah, I've read that one."
Rin gave him a strange look as she slid the manga back onto the shelf.
"Oh, come on, it's not that bad!"
Despite his protests, she didn't seem entirely convinced. Rin turned around and walked away, throwing a disturbed glance at him over her shoulder.
Great, now his own little sister thought that he was a weirdo. So what if he read manga about protagonists with little sisters? Was that so bad? Even if he happened to have a cute little sister of his own? None of those little sisters could ever begin to compare to his own.
Come to think of it, was thinking like that even normal in the first place? Kyousuke let out an exasperated sigh, deciding to give up on his search for manga, and hurried after Rin.
