“Aniyome wa Ijijppari” (roughly translated as “My Sister‑in‑Law Is a Little Mischief”) is a tongue‑in‑cheek ode to the classic anime trope of the mischievous older sister‑in‑law who constantly teases the protagonist. The title deliberately blends a polite Japanese phrase (あによめ – “aniyome”) with a playful misspelling of “いじっぱり” (ijippari), a colloquial term meaning “stubborn” or “playfully meddlesome”. -NekoPoi- Aniyome wa Ijippari - 0226-34 Min
