That's why, I think that the enjoyment of this work depends on how willing you are to accept Kirino as a character, or the situation her older brother currently faces as she tries to share her secret hobbies with him.
Sorry for replying to an old post but i think that post is kinda wrong. Why can't girls be into erige. I am a girl who plays eroge and dislike yaoi. I know a lot of people like me. I don't think that you should have such a onesided wiew of females. You know liking eroge more than otomegames doesn't make you lesbian or something and there is nothing weird with a female liking them. yes Fujoshis are certainly more common but Kirino's role isn't a stretch at all.
