"Imouto sae Ireba Ii" (all good as long as we have younger sister) volume 1 by Hirasaka Yomi. You can probably guess how it ends from the just title and the cover illustration, and all pages in between are merely fluff. Very entertaining high quality fluff.
The book revolves around a novel writer with fanatical interest in younger sisters, and has a younger step sister brother. The book opens with a few pages of what such a writer might produce, and it's definitely for a much more niche audience than the rest of the book. Majority of the book are anecdotes of how novel writers work, which are mostly reasonable events (such as calculating income tax) interleaved with spurs of unusual actions (such as trying to claim in-game purchases for tax deductions). It's this mixture of realistic and unrealistic bits that makes this book easy to relate to and enjoyable at the same time.
I read this book first before following recommendations to read "Eromanga Sensei", since both happened to be novels about novel writers. The novel setting is about all the overlap there is between the two series, the content and style are completely different. If "Eromanga Sensei" was a full course meal, "Imouto sae Ireba Ii" is all desserts. The reason why this book feels fluffy is that the events and characters aren't really strongly connected, some chapters can probably be shuffled or dropped without readers noticing much loss. This style is consistent with the author's previous series (Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai). It's neither good or bad, it's just meant to be enjoyed with a different mindset.
While I wasn't expecting a deep central story, the first volume did end in exactly the way I expected. This should be an interesting series to follow.

New series by Hirasaka Yomi (Haganai). Pretty crazy and very funny. Lots of strange folks working as LN authors/illustrators or even being normal college students. It is fun to have pretty much all the characters out of the high school. It’s not a serious one but it does have some little bits that may make you feel hurt… If you have already experienced the difference in ability with some kind of “genius”. That’s probably the main reason I’ll continue reading this. While I would read it only for the comedy and funny character interaction these little bits of “reality” are also a nice touch to the LN. The TRPG at the end was hella fun and it is good to see a LN that doesn’t have problem in mentioning works from other labels… Heck even UBW was mentioned here (MC wanting to use it as his skill lol). Really good one. It is short too so I strongly recommend it.
Spoiler for Volume 2:
"Imouto sae Ireba Ii" (all good as long as we have younger sister) volume 2 by Hirasaka Yomi. Fluffy as usual, but with more continuity between chapters, and some hint of character development near the end.
Similar to the first volume, this volume opens with the most bizarre sketch of a concept novel, testing whether existence any younger sister would be sufficient despite all other shortcomings. It's enough to cleanse your mind of anything else you were reading before, and it's pretty much all the sister material needed for this volume. Majority of the content for this volume is focused on writing novels.
Of the novel writing bits, the best chapter was when Itsuki decided to hide in a karaoke box, not to finish the novel that is now way past the real real unbreakable deadline, but to prepare excuses to his editor on why this deadline could not be met. Of course none of the excuses worked and Itsuki is locked up in a cell later, but before his inevitable fate, it was a lively dialog with many different writing styles. A truly memorable scene.
The next memorable scene was with Haruto watching the anime adaption of his work, and it did not go well. Compared to the anime viewing scene from Eromanga Sensei volume, published two months after this book, this is a long a detailed account of why the anime was a total disaster. But nothing gets people together like sharing a tragic experience, and this particular event might seed some relationships for future chapters.
This volume seemed to have gained a greater sense of direction, but overall it continues to be lots of small loosely related chapters. It's fun and easy to digest, looking forward to more of it.
Souce #2:
Continues to be extremely funny with one scene or other that seems to be somewhat close to “reality”. The chapter where we see one LN author getting really sad about a poor anime adaptation hit me pretty hard. Still have to read the 3rd volume but I guess we’re going to finally see some development in the relationship of the characters? Don’t think this is a good sign considering how Haganai went but let’s see.
Spoiler for Volume 3:
"Imouto sae Ireba Ii" (all good as long as we have younger sister) volume 3 by Hirasaka Yomi. The previous two volumes were just comedy, this is the beginning of a romantic comedy.
This volume did not continue the trend of opening with a bizarre sketch of a sister novel. Instead, it starts with a brilliant miscommunication scene that sets the tone for the rest of the book. What happens in the middle is a date episode followed by a date episode followed by yet another date episode. It ends with a confession, not the typical "yes I do" type of exchange, but something even more brilliant. It was the most serious dialogue that have appeared in the this series so far.
That confession was a highlight of this volume, the other highlight (or perhaps a lowlight for some) was an improvisation game between authors who are trying to steer a parody of Attack on Titan toward the ending of their choice. The parody wasn't the highlight, it was a particular weapon that I am pretty sure would disqualify this series from being animated and broadcasted in public. This series isn't holding back at all.
There is an extra semi-serious chapter explaining why Itsuki came to have this obsession with younger sisters, tying back to the title of this series. This series is revealing more depth than I expected from the fluffiness of volume 1, I just hope that it continues to have all those pointless but entertaining games.
Source #2:
Well, the title now makes sense and there was some progress in terms of romance. Ireba is still surprising me about some stuff like Itsuki already having a plan in his mind about his future life (including his possible future wife, a real one by all means). The obvious references to the LN industry were fun too.
Spoiler for Volume 4:
"Imouto sae Ireba Ii" (all good as long as we have younger sister) volume 4 by Hirasaka Yomi. This volume features lively debates around the merits of having underwear versus being completely naked.
Actually there is a lot more than battle of underwear and counterattack of the naked, but those bits tend to leave a lasting impression after having devoted two chapters to this subject. This might sound like one of those pointless arguments that nobody should care about, but the characters are all absolutely serious about what's at stake, and the amount of passion that went into this seemly trivial subject made it a real joy to read. Highlights here include a detailed description of another detailed sketch of how a bath scene might unfold, when a scene from a novel is translated into manga, elaborated frame by frame. It inspired a great visualization with only words.
Just before the underwear bits was an introduction of a new character, whose favorite sister character was Sagiri from "Eromanga Sensei" series. That totally caught me off guard and I had a good laugh. Clearly there is a nontrivial overlap in readership for these two series, and this author is very aware of this overlap. Or perhaps it's actually a ploy to make "Imouto sae Ireba Ii" seem more realistic by referencing the other works of fiction. I enjoy seeing references like this, it's part of the reason why I look for novels about novels.
The rest of this volume was equally great, and generally more upbeat than volume 3. There is an extra chapter at the end that describes "Life of a Light Novel Writer", an uncannily realistic board game. Also available in audio form if you bought the special edition of volume 4. Of course I bought the special edition, not for the drama CD but for the picture of Chihiro in a wedding dress on the cover. This is a slow development where Chihiro gets slightly closer to revealing her true identity to her brother in every volume. Anticipation of that event is enough to keep me interested in this series. It hasn't happened in this volume, but maybe it's not too far away.
Spoiler for Volume 5:
"Imouto sae Ireba Ii" (all good as long as we have younger sister) volume 5 by Hirasaka Yomi. This volume contains practical information including why some anime turned out the way they did, why new authors' awards are won by dubious novels, and the story behind Kaiko's underwear.
The middle of this book explained the anime production bits, where a series has been substituted to fill the time slot of another previously scheduled series, and various compromises were required to fit the reduced schedule. The producer is trying to minimize financial loss, the editor-in-chief is trying to minimize risk to the original novel, and our protagonist is doing his best to convince the scriptwriter why having four sisters is such a luxury. The scenario seem very realistic, while the resolution is more inline with the comedic spirit of this series than how things might work in practice.
Later on, we learn about how the selection of new authors awards is a much more subtle process than "most interesting book wins". There is nontrivial amount of money involved, and various branding issues to consider, and also how the selection of winners would affect future applicants. Given the choices among something typical, something original, some miscellaneous entries, and a weird topic targeting a very niche audience, we somehow end up with a choice that none of the judges liked. Once again, the scenario seemed realistic, but perhaps the comical resolution here is really how these awards work.
In the midst of these industry anecdotes is Miyako, the heroine who has a crush on Itsuki and one who has just started part time work at his publisher. It was fascinating to see the inner workings of the publishing industry from the perspective of a newcomer, especially since most things appear to not go well. At the same time, it was interesting to see all the characters develop around Miyako as she becomes more connected with the authors, including two very different confession scenes.
Oh, and there were generous swimsuit scenes. With a meta punchline.
Besides those random bits, this particular volume appears to have the best balance between realistic and comedy scenes so far, and probably the most informational volume for people who are interested in what goes on behind the scenes in light novels. I look forward to more volumes like this in the future.
Spoiler for Volume 6:
"Imouto sae Ireba Ii" (all good as long as we have younger sister) volume 6 by Hirasaka Yomi. This volume answered all the confession scenes from previous volume, plus backstage stories of how anime production works.
Volume 5 might have been written to setup Miyako as the main heroine, but that plan failed early on in this volume. Despite the newly created love triangle, all characters were able to get through this awkward situation with another round of tabletop RPG. All this time I was wondering if that recurring RPG session had any real purpose, and looks like it had been planned for just this situation. Seems like most other recurring features (such as the detailed beer tasting notes) are still just fluff, although they are still entertaining.
One recurring feature that is well appreciated are these insider tales of the novel industry. In this volume, we had an audition process for Itsuki's upcoming anime series, followed by a cast selection process that largely ignored those audition results. Everyone understands that there are lots of business decisions involved in casting, including event appearances, deals with sponsors, and general scheduling risk, but it was still frustrating to follow. This chapter follows the recurring conclusion of "this is terrible, how did we end up in this situation?", although later chapters managed to make it a more positive outcome. This was the highlight of this volume.
Despite being a series about younger sisters, Chihiro has been making fewer and fewer appearances. Only so few pages in this volume and it involves that perverted illustrator. I hope we see more of Chihiro in future volumes.
Unrelated to the book itself, the ad inserts that came with these novels included a board game this time. This board game includes a good sample of the various events that occurred in earlier volumes: https://goo.gl/photos/hNhMj7owGTzdyiVC9
Spoiler for Volume 7:
"Imouto sae Ireba Ii" (all good as long as we have younger sister) volume 7 by Hirasaka Yomi. This volume included a collection of meta references.
This volume isn't entirely full of meta references. The first half of this volume was spent on systematically depicting every character's reaction to the ending of volume 6. The last chapter is the text version of the drama CD, where the three writers in this series set out to write children's stories, and all managed to produce something not quite suitable for children. And there is the usual games segment, this time with Fictionary. These all maintained the usual fun quality for this series, but perhaps not the best highlights.
The main highlight of this volume came near the end, where readers found out about the original series that was named "Imouto sae Ireba Ii", written by a genius author who was subtly mentioned in one of the early volumes. This is the backstory of that author, how she dedicated her life to writing, and how it came to an end after having reached greater fame due to "Imouto sae Ireba Ii" being animated. This chapter written in a more serious tone, and included a bit about how the author received negative feedback for having a more serious volume in a series that had been mostly comedy. Coincidentally, the anime version for this series is scheduled for broadcast in fall 2017. It's like the light novel equivalent of watching yourself watch yourself recursively, it's brilliant how everything had came together to reach this point.
This volume has been another interesting glimpse of the light novel industry. I hope there are more pages given to Chihiro in future volumes.

Thank you for this ! I'm glad this series is liked, at least reading these opinions.
This is the story about the daily life of a young siscon novelist, Itsuki Hashima with his perfect little sister Chihiro, the genius illustrator Nayuta Kani, his best friend Miyako Shirakawa and some insane partners from his publishers.

Way to go and spoil your watchers lolz.
It's also on MAL, Nayuta Kani isn't even an illustrator but a novelist, I think they should rewrite it entirely.
well since the anime come and i'm still traumatized by all the bs crap from plot and one of the top 3 worst mcs ever on anime/novel/manga market from haganai, i would love to know if after watch the "really not so good first episode, if i can have some hope of it be at last fun and worth of follow as haganai was on the beginner or just drop it because will be another harem generic disaster with one of the most disgusting mc ever??(serious the first 4 minutes of the anime make me wonder if i was watching a very disgusting hentai with some sort of raper big brother which love to turn girls in sluts undressed, instead of a boner i get totally disgusted with some of the creep jokes like the "eggs" and milk or he washing his head on her "water bath").
i really feel like that first minutes where really not necessary and disgusting in many levels(again personal taste) this was on novel too or was original anime???, we gonna get more jokes like that???

Welcome to Imouto sae Ireba Ii you will get all those disgusting jokes for the whole season long.
I hope this doesn't become a disappointment like haganai. Btw @WingedAccelerator is the author pairing chihiro with that perverted illustrator?
Nothing concrete yet, as far as I know, but it's a fact that he pulled her pants down twice to see a magnificent butt. And I think that Puriketsu is also closer to her in age than Itsuki, or rather I assume. But Chihiro's latest partner is quite vibrant.

Another thing, does Itsuki has a thing for any girl in the series currently? And who is chihiro's latest partner?
P.S. Oh yeah, what kind of feelings does chihiro have towards Itsuki? In your opinion who do u think will end up with Itsuki? I am rooting for Chihiro personally xD (Sorry for so many questions, cant help but feel anxious cuz of haganai author)

Spoiler:
He has a thing for Kani, and is dating her since Volume 7.
Chihiro's latest partner was a joke from me, referring to two illustrations from Volume 8, where Chihiro has no clue what kind of vibrant tool she is holding. Hint: it functions with a battery, and usually goes between legs to give pleasure. It's supposedly Ono Ashley's possession.
I don't think it's a really serious romantic feeling whatsoever, but she blushes sometimes. She still didn't activated her reverse trap card though. Although she has less and less screentime, and Itsuki is currently with Kani, so her only chance of winning lies in a sudden OreImo ending... so pretty much shitfest development. Sorry, fam!
