Ane Doki is a manga written by Mizuki Kawashita, the author of Strawberry 100% and Hatsukoi Limited. It ran in Weekly Shonen Jump from July 2009 to January 2010, and was collected into three volumes.

Thirteen-year-old Kouta is just an ordinary middle school student living an average life; lusting after the school idol, playing video games during his free time, and having a workaholic father. One day, his father announces that they'll transfer to Sapporo, leaving him alone while his father takes care of the papers for their move. On that day, he meets a young woman, a high school student, volunteering to take care of him.

The girl, Natsuki, then proceeds to live with Kouta, taking care of him while making things awkward with her eccentricities... So begins Kouta's new life with a girl four years older than he is.

  • Book Ends: The manga begins and ends with Kouta meeting up with Natsuki with ice cream.
  • Cut Short: The manga was cut short after only six months due to low volume sales.
  • Jerkass: Haru, again. Not only she's trying to force Natsuki to get married with a rich old man so his money can help her company to keep successful, she goes as far as kidnapping Kouta to convince Natsuki to come back home. This quickly changes.
  • Indirect Kiss: Brought up by Kouta when Natsuki takes his ice cream and eats it.
    Kouta: This means that this hot girl and I just shared and indirect kiss?
  • I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Played straight with Kanade at the end. Also Kouta keeping his feelings about not wanting to move in last chapters to himself so as to not trouble his father.

  • Missing Mom: Kouta's mom never figures into the story.
