義妹生活 (Days with my stepsister) is a fantastic romcom! The two protagonists, Ayase Saki and Asamura Yuuta (both 17) become siblings after their parents marry each other. They promise themselves to keep a distant relationship. They gradually become closer. The unfolding romance is not in any way forced or weird, it's actually pretty pure. It's an outstanding romcom and the cover art and drawings are great too. It currently has 5 volumes, and a new volume is released around every 4 months. I'm always reading the newly released volumes the second they come out.
Language wise this LN has a lof of slice of life vocabulary to offer, especially regarding school/friends/cooking/baito. It's a very good beginner LN and the perfect option if you like more serious and not so trashy romcoms.
