Gimai Seikatsu, also known as Days With My Stepsister in the West, is a light romance and Slice of Life novel that is written by Ghost Mikawa and illustrated by Hiten. The work began publication at Kadokawa Publishing House’s MF Bunko J imprint from January 2021.
Gimai Seikatsu has a manga adaptation by Yumika Kanade, and began publication through Kadokawa’s Shonen Ace Plus website in July 2021.
“Gimai Seikatsu” presents the life of Yuuta Asamura, who finds himself in a new family dynamic after his father remarries, introducing a new stepsister, Saki Ayase, into his life. The plot revolves around a mutual promise to each other to keep a comfortable distance and avoid any conflict, based on lessons learned from their parents’ past experiences.
Saki, the newly arrived stepsister, stands out as the number one beauty in her school, but her life has been marked by responsibility and the need to care for her family alone. This situation has affected her ability to trust others. Yuuta, on the other hand, finds himself in a dilemma about how to genuinely interact with her. As the two explore their coexistence, they gradually discover the comfort of living together, overcoming the initial barriers of disconnection.
The relationship between these two main characters evolves from the initial awkwardness of being virtual strangers to becoming friends over the course of days.
