Ruri Gokou—perhaps better known as her alter-ego Kuroneko (“Black Cat”)—is a member of the All Together, Otaku Girls online community that Saori manages. She goes to an offline meet-up where she meets both Saori and Kirino in person. Like Kirino, she remains aloof during this meeting, and it isn’t until after the meeting at Saori’s post-gathering that she is formally introduced. Kuroneko is a fan of teenage fantasy anime and is sickened by cute anime, like Meruru. Naturally, this precipitates several arguments between Kirino and her, but they still manage to maintain a friendship despite their differences. Kuroneko is shown to care greatly for her friends despite her cold attitude towards people of “the mortal world.”  Kuroneko is known for her dark clothing and scarlet eyes. She cosplays daily in gothic lolita clothing similar to those worn on her favorite anime, Maschera ~Lamentation of the Fallen~. However, it is revealed that scarlet isn’t her real eye color; she just wears contacts (her real irises are lavender). She writes doujinshi and novels, but none of her works are popular. Kuroneko is very intelligent and has a large vocabulary, making her works too sophisticated for the average reader.   

~!During Kyousuke’s second year in high school, Kuroneko enters the same school. Kyousuke learns of her real name (Kirino does not learn of it until sometime later). Kuroneko is terribly shy, thus has trouble making friends. Kyousuke suggests that she joins a club. Together, Kuroneko and Kyousuke join the Computer Game Club. It is shown that Kuroneko has developed feelings for Kyousuke. When Kyousuke goes to America to retrieve Kirino, Kuroneko kisses him before he leaves, telling him that she placed a curse that will force him to return. This kiss causes Kyousuke some distress, but he is reluctant to revisit the topic later. Kuroneko slowly starts turning into Shironeko (“White Cat”)—or, rather, Ruri. She stops wearing her colored contacts and gothic lolita clothes, instead choosing to wear a white dress that Kirino chose for her. Ruri later meets up with Kyousuke and tells him that she’ll remove a different curse she placed on him if he would grant her wish. At the end of the seventh light novel, the two became lovers; the situation surrounding this advancement is unknown.!~

~!She however, later breaks up with him and moves away- changing school in the process. When Kirino finally approached her, Ruri reveals that her feelings for him never changed but she broke up with him because of Kirino's dishonesty; she never wanted her brother to get a girlfriend. After this, Ruri returned to her usual attitude albeit expressing her feelings outwardly towards Kyousuke.!~

The "new sibling romantic comedy" revolves around Masamune Izumi, a light novel author in high school. Masamune's little sister is Sagiri, a shut-in girl who hasn't left her room for an entire year. She even forces her brother to make and bring her meals when she stomps the floor. Masamune wants his sister to leave her room, because the two of them are each other's only family. 
 
Masamune's novel illustrator, penname “Ero Manga Sensei,” draws extremely perverted drawings, and is very reliable. Masamune had never met his illustrator, and figured he was just a disgusting, perverted otaku. However, the truth is revealed … that his “Ero Manga Sensei” is his own younger sister! To add to the chaos that erupts between the siblings, a beautiful, female, best-selling shoujo manga creator becomes their rival!

Hasegawa Kodaka has transferred schools, and he's having a hard time making friends. It doesn't help that his blond hair tends to make people think he's a delinquent. One day, he runs into his bad-tempered solitary classmate Yozora while she's talking animatedly to her imaginary friend Tomo. Realizing that neither of them have any actual friends, they decide that the best way to alter this situation is to form a club and start recruiting. 
That is how "Rinjinbu", The Neighbours' Club, was formed, a club specifically designed for people who don't have very many friends. As other lonely classmates slowly join their little club, they'll try to learn how to build friendships through cooking together, playing games, and other group activities. But will this group of relationship-challenged misfits really be able to get along?

Kousaka Kyousuke, a normal 17-year-old high school student living in Chiba, has not gotten along with his younger sister Kirino in years. For longer than he can remember, Kirino has ignored his comings and goings and looked at him with spurning eyes. It seemed as if the relationship between Kyousuke and his sister, now fourteen, would continue this way forever. One day however, Kyousuke finds a DVD case of a magical girl anime which had fallen in his house's entrance way.

The second season of Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai
 
Kirino is back from her trip to America, but the fun doesn't stop here! In the second season of Oreimo, Kyousuke continues to give Kirino life consultations. This time, romance lurks on the horizon for both siblings...

The true end arc of Ore no Imouto. These four episodes branch out after the 11th episode of the main TV series and present an alternative version to the end of the TV series. These episodes contrast with the good end arc of the TV series, which was an original ending written for the anime, and instead closely follows the original story from the light novels.

Episodes 14-16 of Oreimo 2, to finish adapting the novels of Oreimo.

Kyousuke Kousaka, a normal seventeen-year-old high school student, hasn't gotten along with his younger sister, Kirino, in years. For longer than he can remember, Kirino has ignored his comings and goings and looked at him with spurning eyes. It seemed as if the relationship between Kyousuke and his sister, now fourteen, would continue this way forever. 
One day, however, Kyousuke finds a DVD case of a magical girl anime entitled Hoshikuzu Witch Merle (Stardust Witch Merle), which had fallen into the entrance way of his house. To Kyousuke's surprise, inside the case is a hidden adult video game titled Imouto to Koishiyo! (Love with Little Sister!). Kyousuke attempts to fish out the culprit who dropped the case by bringing up the topic of magical girl anime at the family dinner table. All that comes out is a strong negative reaction from his parents, especially his anti-otaku policeman father. 
That night, Kirino bursts into Kyousuke's room and, in perhaps the first conversation she has initiated with him in years, says they "have things to talk about." Kirino brings Kyousuke to her room and shows him an extensive collection of moe anime and lolicon bishoujo games she has been collecting in secret.

OreKou follows the story of the light novels, set at the time when Kirino Kousaka leaves for America to undergo athletic training. While the OreImo anime series tells the story in Kirino's elder brother Kyousuke's point of view, OreKou focuses on Kuroneko's experiences as Ruri Gokou, a high school freshman who becomes Kyousuke's junior. While Kuroneko struggles in mingling with her new classmates, she tries to sort out her feelings for Kyousuke.
