14 Quotes from Days with My Stepsister on Step-sibling romances x Societal Norms
1. Stepbrother = Stranger
A stepbrother is essentially a stranger. And that’s perfectly normal, because even if we suddenly become siblings one day, we’ve no shared experience living together.
2. Stepsister x Stepbrother in Reality ≠ Stepsister x Stepbrother in Novels & Movies
A stepsister is essentially a stranger. Novels and movies like to indulge in the idea that because they aren’t related by blood, that they can simply fall in love and have a normal male-female relationship.
3. But things that happen in fiction and things that happen in real life are very different
People say that all siblings begin as strangers, but in the case of step-siblings, they start off as strangers and they stay strangers until the end.
4. Days with My Stepsister Saki Ayase quotes
That sense of humor, the way you talk, the way you act none of those things come off as really intense. So I thought you’d be able to understand what I’m about to say, I don’t expect anything from you. So I don’t want you to expect anything from me either.
5. When I told my friends about getting a stepbrother they wouldn’t take me seriously at all
So I cut ties with all but one of them. I only cut off people who weren’t worth keeping around anyway. I can’t read their minds. And if they never make any effort to try to tell me, I can’t go tiptoeing around their feelings all the time. It’s a waste of time
6. The rumors have it, that Asamura-Kun’s step-sister is a call girl, making money by selling herself
She has pierced ears, blonde hair, and a terrible expression that makes people avoid her. She seems to be a troublemaker who doesn’t belong in her class. Some even claim they saw her walking out of the Love Hotel neighbourhood.
7. Why did you pick tennis, Asamura-kun?
Because there aren’t any team matches. I don’t particularly appreciate depending on anyone or anyone depending on me. I usually try to keep my distance from everyone. If people leave me alone, that gives me more time to myself.
8. People and their downgrading views on woman
A beautiful woman with a high school education who works in nightlife. People say she’s just stupid and weaponises her looks for everything. I heard people say that about my mom so many times.

9. And it’s so dirty when people try to use that kind of logic to corner you
If you’re smart but not pretty, they say you’re a snobby, overeducated woman. If you’ve good looks but aren’t smart, they say you’re a gold digger who’s using her body to get ahead. If a pretty woman relies on a man, they say she’s a parasite who has it easy. But if she works hard for herself, they call her a pathetic loser with no man to rely on.
10. Days with My Stepsister quotes on becoming Self-reliant
But deep down, you don’t want anyone relying on you or to rely on anyone else, right? If you want to free yourself of those expectations, you need to be strong enough to get by in life alone
11. Relying on others x Self-independent
If you can’t get by alone, I think relying on someone else is perfectly fine. It doesn’t mean you’re any less than anyone it just means you’re human
12. From Strangers to Step-brothers to potential love interests
Asamura-kun is really considerate of others. That’s exactly why I shouldn’t call him “big brother”. The moment I start calling him that, I’ll probably start depending on him for everything. I absolutely can’t let myself do that.
13. Things are about to get Soucy
But every time I call him “Asamura-kun”, I get this indescribable feeling in my chest. One very different from the way I’d feel calling him my brother. I’ve never felt this way before. I don’t even know what to call it.

Now that it’s been a month since Dad and Akiko-san got married and four of us, including her daughter, began living together. I’m starting to realise that my stepsister, this “stranger” actually occupies a more ambiguous position
