The premise
The premise of Sister Princess is that Wataru Minakami, an ordinary young man, is made to live with 12 lovable "little sisters", each with their own distinct quirks and personality. Both "little sister" characters and the plotline of "being forced to live with beautiful girls" are very common and popular in bishōjo products.
Sister Princess is remarkable for its intensely cute and saccharine atmosphere, taking to an extreme a tendency in Japanese culture. With its focus of young girls, the series can be classified as moé but not technically lolicon since it does not contain pornographic elements.
