Introduction

Listen to Me, Girls. I Am Your Father! (Japanese: パパのいうことを聞きなさい!, Hepburn: Papa no Iukoto wo Kikinasai!; lit. 'Listen to What Papa Says!') is a Japanese light novel series written by Tomohiro Matsu and illustrated by Yuka Nakajima. It was published by Shueisha's Super Dash Bunko imprint, with 18 volumes released from December 2009 to March 2015. Following Matsu's death in May 2016, a posthumous volume, subtitled After 1, was released in July of that same year.

The series follows a mature college student who suddenly becomes the guardian of his three nieces in place of his sister and her husband. The couple went overseas on a business trip, but their plane went missing, and all passengers were presumed dead. To prevent the girls from being separated, he defies his family's wishes and takes them in, just as his sister did for him.

A manga adaptation, illustrated by Yohei Takemura, was serialized in Shueisha's shōnen manga magazines Jump Square (August 2011 – March 2012) and Jump SQ.19 (April – October 2012), with its chapters collected in three tankōbon volumes. Five spin-off manga were also released in 2011. A 12-episode anime television series adaptation by Feel was broadcast from January to March 2012, with three additional original video animation (OVA) episodes released. A video game by Bandai Namco Entertainment was released for the PlayStation Portable in April 2012.
