The anime is based on the light novel series written by Ghost Mikawa and illustrated by Hiten, which was first published by Media Factory’s MF Bunko J imprint on January 25, 2021 and has released 10 volumes as of January 2024, with an 11th volume due out on July 25, 2024. The light novels have also inspired a 2021 manga adaptation illustrated by Yumika Kanae. Yen Press releases the light novels and manga in English for North America.

Crunchyroll is streaming Days With My Step Sister, describing the series as:
When his father remarries, Yuta Asamura winds up sharing a roof with his new stepsister, Saki Ayase, the hottest girl in his grade. Carrying the scars of their parents’ troubled divorces, they vow to maintain a respectful distance. But what starts as cautious camaraderie blossoms into something deeper from shared experiences. Is it admiration, familial love, or something more?
