Acclaimed mangaka Yamashita Kazumi continues her heartwarming and often chaotic exploration of sisterhood in the latest release of “Twisted Sisters” (Land) Volume 9. The series, which centers on four siblings separated by vast age gaps, has become a staple for fans of sophisticated family comedies.
The volume officially hit shelves and digital platforms on January 9, 2026.
Bridging the Decade Gaps in Volume 9
The core hook of “Twisted Sisters” remains the extreme age differences between the siblings—each born more than ten years apart. Volume 9 focuses on the eldest sister’s struggle to adapt to the high-energy lifestyle of the youngest, while the middle sisters act as mediators in their increasingly crowded household.
Yamashita Kazumi uses this volume to highlight how different generations view financial stability and career success, leading to several comedic misunderstandings. Readers have praised the series for its realistic depiction of “found family” dynamics within a biological context, noting a 15% increase in domestic sales since the last arc began.
In this latest installment, the sisters face an external challenge that forces them to present a united front for the first time. Whether it’s navigating neighborhood gossip or managing their late father’s estate, the friction between their diverse personalities provides both humor and emotional depth.
The artwork remains characteristically expressive, with Yamashita capturing the subtle nuances of aging and maturity across the four distinct designs. As the sisters grow closer, the “twisted” nature of their relationship begins to unravel into something more resilient and supportive.

Yamashita Kazumi’s Signature Storytelling
Known for her ability to weave social commentary into lighthearted narratives, Yamashita Kazumi has crafted “Twisted Sisters” into more than just a simple comedy. According to Kodansha, the series has resonated particularly well with adult readers who are managing their own complex family structures.
“This volume marks a turning point where the sisters stop being strangers and start being a team,” noted a lead manga critic during a recent review. The serialization continues to be a highlight of the Morning magazine lineup, maintaining high ratings for its character-driven plot.
International fans are eagerly awaiting news of a localized English release, which is rumored for late 2026. For now, the Japanese release of Volume 9 includes a special bonus chapter detailing the sisters’ first chaotic New Year’s Eve together.
