According to VNDB (for both [Aoishiro](http://vndb.org/v710) and [Akai
Ito](http://vndb.org/v98)) and the Manga Updates page for [Aoishiro -
Kaeishou](https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=20501), Akai Ito is the
sister game to Aoishiro.

From what I can tell, they are both Shoujo Ai/Yuri titles, both done by
Success and both seem to focus on Oni. However I can't see how those elements
would make Aoishiro and Akai Ito sister games.

So I am wondering, is there some sort of connection between the 2?

question
aoishiro akai-ito
How is Akai Ito the sister game to Aoishiro?


I imagine the most significant of your mentioned connections is that they are
created by the same developer - **Success**.

Having similar themes and a similar art style is definitely enough to warrant
the title of _sister_ games.

As a Western example, Bastion and Transistor are also sister games - They
share no common story, but are similar in artistic style, development company,
musician and artist.

The term _sister_ in sister-game is broad and stems from sister cities &
sister companies. The latter of which shares no more than the same parent
company. Sister cities are broad, officially approved, long-term partnerships
between two communities - but they do not have to be culturally alike or share
many traits.

The requirements for shows to have an implicit connection is low, and can be
justified by being in the same broad universe, parallel universe, etc. It's
mainly a production choice.
