A Boy's Journey Beyond the Panels

A Radiant Dawn and An Ominous Awakening

Kyousuke's POV

My name is Kousaka Kyousuke. I'm a 7-year-old who attends the local elementary school. I am the eldest son of the Kousaka family. The family members are my parents, my sister, and myself, making a total of four.

A middle-class, well-off, nothing out of the ordinary family.

A few days ago a new family came to this house, my brother was born.

Kousaka Towa.

Or Towa-chan as everyone calls him.

He inherited the silky and soft red-brown from Mom and has blue eyes like Kirino's. His eyes shone brightly like the gemstone of the Neptune, aquamarine.

His impassive kuudere eyes, big eyelashes, small nose, and cute lips. All perfectly balanced and arranged on his face. There was no doubt...his beauty would exceed KIrino's....cough.

I bet in the future he can actor or even a band lead singer if he is good at singing as well, then you'd have a charismatic idol.

I'm not being lenient because he's family. My brother is just one hell of a refined person.

Where are those genes at my time?!

I mean his spec is too high darn it! Anyone would fall for him.

The other day, he was surrounded by people who came to visit Mom, who kept saying how cute he was and even pinched his cheeks. How enviable, I wanted to do it too.... cough.

At first, I was hesitant to interact with him since Sensei at school told me that babies are quite fragile and you have to be careful around them but today Kirino started playing with him, I also tried to pinch his cheeks.....Soft and so squishy; As if you fused a marshmallow and mochi.

When you take too much of his time, he squints his eyes puffs his cheeks, and holds your finger with his small hands as if trying to stop you.

Towa-chan gotta be a genius! Beautiful and clever. Why was his expression so precious?

There's no way my brother can be this cute.

Is it night already? I wanted to see Towa and Kirino play more.

I wondered if I needed to get up early tomorrow for school...Well then, it was time for me to head to bed.

I wonder what reaction Towa would give tomorrow... How exciting.

Kirino's POV

My name is Kousaka Kirino. I'm a 4-year-old who goes to the local preschool. I am the eldest daughter of the Kousaka family.

Recently, I got a new little brother!

Even though I thought he was a girl, my mom told me he was my brother. He looks a lot like me but his smile is like Mom's.

I really love him so much, he is so cute~! He's the next cutest thing to me!

Recently, Onii-chan and I played with him a lot and we don't play at Manami's house. She does come by sometimes but now I can spend more time with Towa-chan and Onii-chan.

I always wanted a younger sibling more like a sister, like in my favorite mahou shoujo anime. I will be a wise Onee-chan that he can rely on, just like my onii-chan, and say 'Leave it to me' in a cool pose with my thumb towards me.

One day when I came back from school suddenly it felt like Towa became a lot cuter than before like a doll. It feels like any outfit will look good on him.
