Chances are that you've seen this premise before. A teenage manga character's parent remarries, introducing a strange new member into the household. In the case of Imouto ga Americajin!?, a teenage guy's divorced mother returns to Japan and pretty much immediately set him on a collision course with something truly alien... an American little sister.
Maken Shiroya's culture clash manga manga, also know as My Sister Is an American?! was published by by Micro Magazine (Kotoura-san) on Nico Nico Seiga (Senyuu), Nico Nico's image hosting service that host alo offers e-books (denshi shoseki) such as light novels, or manga.
After picking up a following, a print edition was released last weekend. It was prepared by arranging the manga for dimensions of the paper page, a bit of de-censoring (some of it was a bit too hot for NicoNico), adding a 24 page hot spring bonus chapter and lining up an endorsement by veteran manga author Shinji Hiramatsu.
Sure to amuse Americajin manga readers... here's a bit of what one comedy manga thinks of us....
