Description
My little sister loves me so much that it’s scary… no, seriously. My sister—Akari Namiki, is definitely a very charming girl. She’s got wits, she’s got beauty, she’s got style. But just look at me, I’m just some extra-ordinary mob. Now the problem that I’m facing is that this sister of mine loves me way too much. In my third year of middle school, I found the ‘Onii-chan Notes’ in Akari’s room: a detailed log of my every behavior. Not to mention when she was usually so cold towards me, lo and behold, she was head over heels in her notebook. Oh, and let’s not forget my discovery of finding out that there were surveillance cameras and listening devices hidden around my room…! In the summer of my second year of highschool, I learned of Akari’s plan to ‘Lock up Onii-chan, and make it so he can’t live without me’. I made my decision. Then and there. To interact with Akari as a brother—nothing more—and stop her before this goes too far—!

My Thoughts on Only I Know that My Sister has a Brother Complex
First Impressions
Alright, let's dive into "Only I Know that My Sister has a Brother Complex." The title alone certainly grabs your attention, doesn't it? Going in, I knew I was stepping into some potentially controversial territory with the tags like "brother complex" and "incest." It's definitely not a novel for everyone, and I approached it with a healthy dose of skepticism and curiosity.
What Works Well
Despite my initial reservations, I was actually surprised by some aspects of this story. The writing itself seems to be a strong point. The author apparently has a good handle on pacing and keeping the story engaging. I can see how the comedic elements might work for some readers, providing a bit of levity amidst the heavier themes. The "unfortunate" nature of the main character's romantic pursuits adds an interesting layer. He's not your typical overpowered protagonist; in fact, he seems to face a fair amount of rejection, which can make him relatable in a strange way. The first volume seems to be a contained story that can be enjoyed on its own.
Areas of Concern
Okay, let's address the elephant in the room: the potentially problematic themes. While some might find the "ecchi" scenes appealing, the core premise of a sister with a brother complex might be too much for many readers, and I can understand that. It seems the MC is willing to accept some pretty strange behavior from the girls around him. Also, the fact that the author seems to have dropped volume 2 midway is a bit disappointing. Knowing that the story might not have a proper conclusion definitely tempers my enthusiasm.

Final Verdict
"Only I Know that My Sister has a Brother Complex" is a complicated case. The writing seems solid, and it has the potential to be an engaging, albeit controversial, read. However, the heavy themes, the potentially unlikeable protagonist, and the unfinished nature of the story make it a tough recommendation. If you're into dark comedy, questionable romance, and aren't easily put off by potentially disturbing content, you might find something to enjoy here. Otherwise, you might want to steer clear. For me, it's a mixed bag, leaning towards a cautious "try at your own risk."
