Tis is a sweet lighthearted comedy with great artwork.
People who see lolicon in this manga should get their eyes, no, their PERVERTED BRAINS checked > =( No lolikon stuff here, end of discussion.

For me it's a "rest for the soul" stuff like the Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou manga. CS actually puts me in an anti-pervert mode =)

At first, I was quite relucant about reading it. I mean, the idea of that story didn't seem so apealing to me.
But after I started reading, especially after the first volume, the story was so good, cute, and well written that I couldn't stop.
Not to mention amazingly drawn. The art is very good, with backrounds, and stylish clothes. And the mangaka draws some moments in a special "light" sort of way.
Cute and funny misunderstandings. (by choko mostly).

Endearing characters, which most have a story of thier own, that is revield later on.

A good read, with funny and dramatic momments.
And no, it is not a lolicon.

oh man, as far as predictable manga's go, this one keeps me guessing. not only is it interesting and funny, but its so unique.

also, i dont know about you guys, but im so so so very tired of episodic romance manga's. ABSOLUTELY not the case here. There is a plot, and it keeps on going and going. not only that, but its GOOD.

holy crap read this

wow!

This sure was one hell of an emotional roller coaster, for me. What started out as a light-hearted comedy, at some point, managed to turn into some kind of mostly-serious romantic drama. And in it's mostly-serious moments, it always manages to pull some kind of heart-wrenching stunt that leaves you caring so much more about the characters, in between tears of varying emotions covering almost everything, save anger (don't remember ever feeling angry while reading this).

That being said, the male lead is a fairly weak character. Though the narrative and perspective often give you the chance to understand what he's learning throughout, it never feels like he really grows much, and certainly doesn't really grow any more endearing to the reader.

And Choko's situation does feel kind of like a cheap storytelling device. But even as I sat, thinking to myself, "Why such a big deal over something so simple?", I found myself overwhelmed with sympathy for her character's complete lack of working knowledge of the world. Her sweet innocence is really the foundation of this whole title.

The ending was sudden, but it was also really, really cute and happy and warm. I closed the final volume with a sappy, satisfied smile on my face.

Despite any shortcomings, this is still a strong title. It cleverly uses Choko's situation to attack some fairly serious developments in a creative way. It may not give you a new, unique perspective on any of the topics covered, but it sure hammers home on exploring the basics of human affection, friendship, love, family, death, commitment, perseverence, etc... And I defend my 10 rating with this: I couldn't put it down - it turned my heart into some kind of mushy rainbow of emotions with each and every chapter. Very much definitely well worth my time.

Also, there's plenty of pantsu, and nipples. Oh my!

This is one of the few instances where I read a slice of life manga as much if not more for its art as I do for its story. The story is good by itself (chapter 36 really surprised me) but Takeuchi Sakura's art in this series has this balanced, detailed, beautiful and subtle quality that I really have never seen in other manga.

He keeps a sister as a pet. Not a word about legal status, education, her future. She acts as his pet, trowing herself at him, wanting to be always with him. There are also some 3d-party distraction girls involved, coming in and out story. Cute manga, but sad and shallow one. And too long to bear because of no character development.

It was an easy, cute read, but Chokotto Sister had so many parts that kept bugging me while reading and then afterwards, too. Things that were never addressed - like why doesn't anyone come after Choko for not going to school, even though she's only ten or eleven years old, and it's really obvious that she doesn't go? Where does Kawagoe get the money to pay for their expenses, since he doesn't have a regular job and Choko has a lot of clothes and things? Why on earth is there so much focus on Choko and her friend's bodies and undergarments? I don't mind pantsu or breasts, but I was uncomfortable with the way this started out as an ecchi manga with such young girls and so many lovingly rendered drawings of their undergarments and naked bodies.

The story is pretty cute, though, and not totally superficial. The romance plot is sweet if painfully obvious from almost the beginning, and Choko is a cute girl. But the ending is kind of sudden and weird, and a lot of my questions never got answered (I particularly want to know what the hell is going to happen to Choko, and if Kawagoe's parents are ever going to find out about her, and what she's going to do when she's old enough to live on her own, or if she's always going to be sort of creepily hanging around her Onii-chan, even into old age).

The artwork is very nice, and so is the pacing. Not the most amazing manga ever, but a nice diversion for a few afternoons.

Agree with barbapapa, this is a good series with lighthearted comedy and yes, some sexual suggestion at times. However if you do choose to ignore that, what remains is a relaxing read with some good moments :)

okay this was actually a really decent read, but it just started going downhill when it started focusing on the manager instead, maybe it was bcuz i didnt like her at all...
the ending was kind of dumb, nothing happened at all, it was the outcome anyone could see coming.
