Suenaga-ke
She turned out looking a bit older than originally planned but we still want a younger looking sister. So it looks like I'm going to go minami-ke style and have 3 sisters. This would be the middle sister - the equivalent of Kana from Minami-ke.
Below is a progression rough of the first pose.

Hmm.. I personally think that having Mirai and Suenaga-ke(?) is enough.
I'm pretty sure the rest won't mind a third sister though ^^;

I agree, I wouldn't mind 3 sisters, but it is probably better if you just stick with 2 unless you are going to do something fantastic with one of them.

i feel the same way too. but 3 aint bad tho...we get a legal one , we get a vaguely jailbait one, and we get a loli you'll surely go to hell for.

Me too... an older sister going to university, or already an active youg lady ^^
Could have been interresting, and a bit different from what whe always see, that is to say girls between 13 and 17... *sigh*
Maybe Mirai' mama should be introduced? hehe ^^
Anyway, this little sister looks lovely. Twintails power :D

an older sister who possesses mother-like qualities...and when manga-ka draw a girl who's suppose to be mother-like they usually end up with ....*cough...big eyes...hooray for me!!!

I think she looks alot like Mirei.. how about a few more distinguishing features, like say.. bunny ears?
And btw: I think two sisters is enough.. I have two myself and they're plenty to handle already!

I have to agree with you on this one. She looks more like Mirai with a different hairstyle and not a younger sister.

I'm reminded of Togi Shiro from Fortune Arterial.

she should also have a younger brother that looks like a girl or a little sister that looks like a boy

VERY YES Danny!
I was kinda thinking the same thing when you first announced about Mirai's sister...
That she should be younger or something.
Now, if you make imouto-san something like Chiaki, it will be awesome! :P

ooooo!!! Nice concept!!
A Chiaki-Like 3rd younger sister WOULD really makes Suenaga-ke much interesting!! I so agree to that >_<
She would be all lovey-dovey to Mirai XD
Now that you mentioned it, Mirai with Haruka-like personality does suit her a lot. I can really see that happening ^^

she looks exactly like mirai but with twin tails.

I agree. Maybe change little bit on her front hair and the way she smiles. She looks like a younger version of Mirai; well they are sisters, so I guess they are supposed to look similar.

but it would be better if Mirai had an evil sister who is older by a year >:D

ひきこもり/Hikikomori. Suits my current state more than a 大学生/University Student. ^^
Minami-ke style can do but, I don't think Mirai-chan can have Haruka's personality. Maybe because she looks too cute and not enough on that "respectable adult" expression.
My 2 cents. ^^

Hm, three sisters huh? So the oldest would be Mirai, middle would be Suenaga-ke, and then little sister. Past, present, and future. I like that plus kawaii for Suenaga-ke. ^^
I approve of this movement.

Suenaga-ke is not a name...

Omgosh Twin tails are the best! lols
A little sister is fine too for that loli touch
Suenaga-ke means that they are the Suenaga sisters, so you have Mirai Suenaga and two sisters whose names we don't know yet.

Absolutely fine~ Loving Minami-ke, and Suenaga-ke will be an awesome addition =D
Though agree with some people here, she looks like Mirai with twin tails... Maybe can alter her face a bit more different?

She is cute ^_^
but like what others have said, she looks too much like Mirai...unless that was ur objective...
i think maybe a younger brother is in order where the 2 sisters can pick on...hehe

I think she looks quite alright with regards to how old she should be. She looks great.
Don't know about adding two more sisters as I think that's just a tad bit too many. 2 is ok for me. 3 is a stretch but 4 is definitely too much.
Student
I love her! Kawaii-sugi~

I think 3 is fine as long as they can be distinguished apart in some way... so as long as their hair colors/eyes/assets/personalitys are slightly different (but not to the point where they're like the Trinity's xD) I think it'll be great!

hanyaan~! kawaii imouto-chan~ *heart*
if Mirai's younger sister would be like Kana...that would mean she would be the crazy girl among the sisters lolz XDDD
i wonder how would the 3rd younger sister would look like and i guess she will be the tsundere one among the sisters lolz XDDD
???Confused???
Mirai's sister looks to be around age 10-12, so how "little" were you trying to make her Danny? I think she already fits the bill...

A few stories with 3 sisters:
1. Ah! My Goddess: 1st sister hot & sexy, 2nd ladylike and elegant capable of everything (your perfect wife), 3rd is just cute.
2. Minami-ke: 1st sister ladylike and elegant capable of everything (your perfect wife), 2nd blant and stupid, story creator, 3rd cute but not too smart.
3. Read of Die: 1st sister ladylike but not so capable, 2nd "Macho" but blur always depend on eldest sister, 3rd aggressive, smart and cute.
4. They are my noble master: 1st sister elegant, hot & sexy but has a fetish habit towards her 2nd sister, 2nd loli but damn smart, 3rd is cute but blur.
Those are the few stories that I know have 3 sisters. It would be good if you wanna use it as reference. Are you gonna make a storyline of your characters?
Personally, I prefer short blue hair girl. ^.^ It's something different. Why not a twin sister like the one in Clannad? 1 short hair another long with totally opposite characters? Just my 2 cents.

Heh...everyone's responding. It's like a create-your-own-fantasy.
If I were to throw in my two cents, I'd say three sisters is overdoing it. Minami-ke was fun, but I think it'd work better if you had two sisters and a brother. Older, younger, either would be cool. Creates a bit of variety and something for the females among us. Just because they're minority doesn't mean they shouldn't get anything. xP

I do think she looks alot like a younger Mirai rather than a sister. Plus if another sister is needed why not an older sister?
Hehe, just thought this. Three sistiers=The Fates,The Moirae from greek mythology. Fit really well with 'Mirai' meaning future and all. Wikipedia link, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moirae

I think youngest sister should be similar to Mitsukuni Haninozuka (Hunny) from Ouran High School Host Club. In a cute and age wise.

I endorse the concept of two younger sisters.
The rori youngest sister could be regularly illustrated to be wearing pantsu depicting the anime characters of your website sponsors, Danny.
Of course, how we viewers would learn that is up to the illustrators.

Three sisters sound great! And she's pretty cute. Love the twin ponytails. I'm wondering what hairstyle the third sister will have...
