The first season of Minami-ke released in 2007, with subsequent seasons releasing in 2008 and 2009. The most recent season, Minami-ke: I’m Home!, premiered in 2013. The series also received three OVAs. The upcoming fifth season will premiere at a later date. Currently, the Minami-ke anime series is unavailable to stream on any streaming service. However, the MyAnimeList website describes Minami-ke as follows:
The Minami residence is home to three sisters: the strict and diligent eldest sister Haruka; air-headed and lively Kana; and the youngest, Chiaki, whose sharp tongue spares no one. Living without adult supervision, the sisters share the workload of cooking and laundry, as well as the occasional romantic adventure. From combating chronic laziness to hanging out with friends, there is never a boring day in the Minami household.
