The “anehame” part complicates things: it suggests an older sister figure is involved in trapping or tricking him into realizing this live-action first love exists. Maybe his sister secretly introduced him to live-action romance media, or the “first love” turns out to be an actress playing a role in a live-action adaptation of his favorite anime.

Given the structure, this resembles a light novel, web novel, or manga title — common in Japanese otaku culture, where long, quirky titles explain the premise. “Anehame” could be a coined term (姉 = older sister, ハメ = from “hameru” = to insert/do, often with sexual or comedic undertones in slang). However, in a non-explicit context, it might mean something like “sister-filled situation” or a pun.

This meta-awareness creates a gap between the protagonist’s limited perspective (he genuinely believes “there’s no way”) and the reader’s knowing amusement. The humor is tragicomic: we watch the protagonist construct elaborate rationalizations, while the sister’s “hooked” behavior (perhaps she role-plays as his lover in a game) constantly undermines him. The title, then, is not a summary but an ironic epitaph for the protagonist’s innocence.

The “new” at the end strongly implies this is either a second season, a reboot, or a fresh take on an older story that originally existed as a web novel around 2018–2020.

The series is categorized under , Mature , and Erotic genres, focusing heavily on themes of incest and sexual exploration within a sibling dynamic. It utilizes common anime tropes such as the "ahoge" (a distinctive lock of hair) and the "brother complex" to define its characters' personalities.
