The fantasy light novel and web comic ecosystem continues its steady expansion as Hifumi Shobo announced that the combined print and digital circulation for Ane ga Kensei de Imouto ga Kenja de has officially surpassed 500,000 copies. This milestone arrives in tandem with the official publication of the manga's seventh volume, hitting store shelves and digital storefronts on September 15, 2026.
Story & World-Building
Published under Hifumi Shobo's Brave Bunko imprint for novels and Polca Comics for manga adaptations, the series follows Razel, a young prince born into the hyper-meritocratic nation of Larc. Despite his royal lineage, Razel possesses only average aptitude for both swordsmanship and magic. Ousted from his homeland due to his perceived lack of talent compared to his older sister—a legendary Sword Saint—and his younger sister, a prodigy Sage, Razel chooses to forge a new path.
Armed with an unyielding, optimistic outlook, he sets off toward neighboring borders seeking an independent life as an adventurer. However, his journey quickly becomes an affectionate comedy of pursuit when his fiercely devoted childhood friend, alongside his overpowered sisters, relentlessly track him down, kicking off a chaotic and heartwarming adventure.
Volume 7 & Special Campaigns
The newly released seventh volume brings fresh narrative turns as Razel's domestic and adventurous trials continue. To celebrate the 500,000-copy milestone, publisher partnerships have unlocked limited-time digital promotions across major Japanese platforms like Piccoma, offering discounted volumes and free chapter updates through late September.
