Ane Naru Mono is held in quite high regard, to the point of it being the highest rated doujin on MAL, but is it that amazing? The answer is yes, it’s really good, great even. The story of Ane Naru Mono is both dark and wholesome. Yuu is a young boy and his parents were both killed in an accident. From then on he’s been moving between relatives' homes and eventually, a demon, Chiyo, comes to help him. She acts as his ideal older sister. Because Yuu has a crush on her, Chiyo is required to get Yuu’s semen. This acts as a way for herto become stronger and stay as a demon, but also partly because this is what Yuu wants. This was a genius way of tying these two aspects of the doujin together.

The main character of Ane Naru Mono is okay. She’s a stereotypical shota for the most part. His past makes him a broken person on the inside, though this often isn’t referenced too often. He’s a bit of a pushover, as most shotas are, but he cums significantly more than the average shota.

Chiyo is a top-tier older sister. She was made to be the perfect older sister according to Yuu’s taste. She takes perfect care of Yuu, cleaning the house, doing the cooking, everything. In addition to that, she’s hot as hell. In the manga, she acts in two different ways. One of them is the possessive, overly-caring older sister archetype and the other is the gentle, loving older sister archetype. Chiyo can fit both roles perfectly. This is a further demonstration in a segment where Chiyo ends up having both forms split, which causes Yuu to be unknowing every day with which Chiyo he’ll interact with.

The interactions between Yuu and Chiyo are often very sweet. It’s nice to see the two of them grow closer together through the span of the doujin.

The art in Ane Naru Mono is magnificent. There’s so much detail drawn into each panel. Every single line is wonderful, as if they were drawn with much thought put into it. The lines used are very soft and the variation in thickness of the lines is well thought out. The use of colour and shading is also really good. It helps make all the scenes where it’s supposed to be gentle, feel gentle and the more impactful moments stand out. The lighting is also really good at setting the tone and emphasizing what’s going on.

Overall this is really well-made and deserves all the recognition that it has received. It is also worth checking out the ecchi version of this work.
