Description
The character known simply as the Older Brother, identified in cast listings as Ani and addressed by his sisters as Onii-chan, is the central male figure of Alice or Alice. He is the older brother of the twin sisters Rise and Airi, and the three share a household where he takes on the daily responsibility of caring for them. He is a young man with brown hair and green eyes, and his exact age is never stated.
His most pronounced trait is his sister complex, which drives much of the comedy around him. He dotes on Rise and Airi to an exaggerated degree, reacting with visible excitement, worry, or delight to nearly everything they do. His feelings for them are sincere and deeply affectionate, but they also leave him easily flustered and easily led. His sisters know this well and frequently tease him, play tricks on him, and drag him into their games and outings, so much of his everyday life involves being swept along by their cheerful chaos. Even when he is overwhelmed or embarrassed by their behavior, he continues to look after them with unwavering warmth and patience, watching over their growth with genuine love. His motivation is simple and consistent: he wants his sisters to be happy and safe, and he expresses that desire through constant, often over-the-top attentiveness.
Within the story, he acts as the anchor of the household and the figure around whom the twins' daily adventures naturally revolve. He shares meals with them, joins their celebrations and trips, gets caught up in their arguments and mischief, and remains the steady presence at the center of their slice-of-life routines. His relationships extend beyond his sisters as well. Kisaki is introduced as his childhood friend, and her connection to him brings the twins and their circle into the world of the Kisa Kissa cafe that she runs. Other recurring figures in the girls' lives, including their friends Maco, Coco, and Ruha, also pass through his orbit, and he interacts with the whole extended group as part of the affectionate, mildly chaotic atmosphere of the household.
The character does not undergo dramatic transformation across the short run of the series; his development is instead expressed through the consistent reinforcement of his role as the loving but perpetually flustered older brother. His notable practical ability is the caregiving capacity he shows as the one who manages and looks after the twins, along with his remarkable tolerance for the endless teasing and trouble they cause him. His emotional transparency, his quick reactions, and his inability to stay composed whenever his sisters are involved make him both a reliable source of humor and the affectionate heart of the family circle.
