Enter the light novel and manga series known by its gloriously long title: "Shiro Buta Kizoku desu ga Zense no Kioku ga Haeta node Hiyoko na Otōto Sodatemasu." Sapphire (The Otōto/Younger Brother):

Let’s break down the slop, the tears, and the surprisingly strategic parenting that defines this hidden gem. But I Remembered My Past Life

The story’s message is: You were a victim of neglect, too. Phil’s journey is about taking control, not conforming to beauty standards for a man—but for survival.
