"Simple Life with My Unobtrusive Sister" (Japanese: 邪魔しない妹との質素な生活, Hepburn: Jama shinai Imōto to no Shisso na Seikatsu) is a popular fan-coined descriptor, lifestyle aesthetic, and emerging narrative trope rooted in slice-of-life anime, manga, and light novel genres. It refers to a peaceful, often rural or domestic existence shared between a protagonist and a younger sister figure who is characterized by her extreme deference, quiet support, and complete lack of conflict-driven drama.
