Bokura ga Ita

The storylines are very similar, as is the animation. Even the two main characters seem to be very much alike. 

Similar characters but not the same, rather Bokura Ga Ita (We were there) is a drama, romance, and comedy. Whereas Lovely Complex is a Comedy, Romance. LoveCom will make you cry in a happy way. In contrast, Bokura Ga ita will make you cry in a drama way. But both anime were awesome :D  

Even though the moods are diametrically different the events run in a similar fashion and both series exhale the same aura. The main characters are also graphically similar. 

I just finished lovely complex and while watching it I kept thinking of Bokura Ga Ita....The girls in both are hopelessly in love and the boys are completley oblivious and dense to their feeligns. 

They both are about a girl who worked hard to get the guy their love. They're both shoujo and school life.  

Otani closely resembles the main guy character in Bokura ga Ita "Yano". Though the genres are very different, the artwork is similar. If you liked Lovely complex, but want more of a sad and complicated anime I'd recommend this one. Also both deal with school life, but Bokura ga Ita doesn't have the light-hearted feeling that Lovely Complex does. It's still a great anime though =) 

these two are painfully alike, the one difference that stands out is remarkably shallow: in lovely complex the girl is tall and the boy is short. that's pretty much the only notable difference. 

Well... both main characters in both animes have red hair. Also at one point in both of the main girls has her heart torn by the main guy. They have a very similar plot, but just a warning: Bokura ga ita has one non-graphic sex scene in it. 

Both story lines are very similar and both animes were fairly predictable. 

A love story between unusual kind of people and evrything that goes with it again... 

Similar art, similar male lead, Bokura Ga Ita turns out to be way more serious than Lovely Complex, since this last one focus on the comedy more. Both are worth watching nevertheless 

It's both a very lovely Romance story. They have the same kind of drawing style. The main characters do look alike, and are similar in some kind of ways too. Bokura ga Ita is a more dramatic romance story though, while Lovely Complex is one with a lot of humor. Lovely complex has drama too, but it's a less sad story than bokura ga ita. If you like one, I guess you would like the other too. 

It's much better than Bokura Ga Ita...a lot more entertaining, but still has a cute love story. 

both anime has unrequited love, but Lovcom it's funier!  

The characters are really alike, also the boy can be in the beginning very annoying but slowly you will begin to love them also. BgI is more drama while LovCom is more focussed on Comedy. Both are really great love romances.  

The art is very similar, as well as the characters' appearances. However, the stories are both similar. Both of the guys have ex girlfriends, who have an extreme impact in the story and the character's relationships. They both act cool and not serious at times, but they have another side to them as well. The heroines are not similar in personality. The heroine in Lovely Complex is not as shy or quiet, while he heroine in Bokura ga Ita is more mature, but is naive when it comes to relationships at times. Lovely Complex drags on a bit longer until they start dating, but Lovely Complex is a bit quicker, although in both stories, there are major relationship problems. For example, as usual, there is the other guy who likes the heroine, which obviously causes problems. Both are great anime. I loved watching them, and although they are a bit different, they have the type of storyline I like. Bokura ga Ita is a bit more mature while Lovely Complex is more comedic. read more 

Both are romance, both are about the ups and downs of romance in high school, and both are pretty hilarious, Bokura is way more dramatic  

Both anime contain a teenage romance with high emotional tension between the main characters and a similar feel to the progression of the romance between the characters.  

The style of art used in both animes looks very similar to me, both stories are about a girl and a boy who didn't know they were in love with each other. 

-the two protagonists look alike,only that there is a strong size difference in lovely complex -the stories are similar,a girl is in love with a boy who can´t a girl that is in love with a boy who cant reciprocate her love first. -in lovely complex is more comedy,in bokura ga ita more drama  

Really similar characters, especially Ootani and Yano. Style of similar designs. Similar story (Ootani had a girlfriend and Yano too) 

Love story, high school students, specific art and similar feeling to both 

Bokura Ga Ita and Kimi ni Todoke have a lot of similarities. They have the same atmosphere,the art style is very similar, both main guy characters look a little alike. They both focus on how a persons relationship with others progresses. Also they are both romances with drama and light comedy. 

both have similar feeling, talk about the first love.. both have the characters development ...  

They both have the same feel and style to it. Their is a very similar art style and the two main guys have the same personality. High school love theme, Drama, Romance, Comedy and a slice of life maybe.  

Very similar artstyle, and in the beginning it had the same feeling as Kimi Ni Todoke! Both couples have slow, developing romances! Both main girls shares the same admiration for the boy, and are slow to notice that their admiration is actually love. Both the Mail protagonists have very similar personalities! They are both one of the most popular and good-looking at their school! And they are both the center of the attention!  

Animation style is similar. Also, romance dealing with a popular high school boy and a girl that admires him but is insecure about herself. 

Both are nicely written romances, and whose animations are quite less-detailed. Kimi ni Todoke is considerably lighter than Bokura ga Ita, though. 

Both have romance, but the story is very slow-moving and will most likely leave you screaming at your screen. You will have some sort of strong emotion towards the characters, whether it's love (Sawako in KnT) or Hate (Yano in BgI) because with the amount of drama these shows offer, it's hard to be indifferent. The main difference between the two is that Bokura ga Ita is a lot more realistic in terms of sexual innocennce and honesty of the characters about their feelings. 

They are very similare! they are both hard core romance,drama, slife of life animes! 8D it's not completly the same story, but almost! ^^ T R U S T me if you like one of them you'll like the other!  

Both animes involve a popular guy falling for a less popular girl though it seems more extreme in Kimi ni Todoke 

Both are slow developing romances, but leave large impacts on your heart and mind and are full of drama. 

The series take place in the typical high school setting with the main focus the development of the characters during this time of life that everyone goes through. Both girls face the typical hardships of their love interest being popular while each having their own individual problems that are fit to the series. In Bokura ga Ita we see a darker side of the high school life and the conflict past relationships bring forth in new relationships. While in Kimi ni Todoke we witness the troubles of a new relationships that was founded on the lack of experience. With this in mind for each couple, we see the supports go through their own developments in different ways. But the support of the main characters tends to be the same. The male friendship is a bit more skewed and struggles more in Bokura than in Todoke, which gives a similar but twist between the series. Further we see the female aids aren't similar in many fashions between the two series, but they're "there" and do manage to support. With Bokura we see the uglier side of female competition and a complex supporting. Todoke gives a more sweet and straight forward rivalry and helpful friends with the main character's best interest at heart. The male leads are similar in their popularity and I'd even say kindness. We see the more humane and typical boy in Bokura while Todoke fashions the untainted and direct male. The females vary greatly from one being at least somewhat socialable to the other knowing only their own company for most their life. They remain the more shy and unwilling to express themselves clearly type of girls. With the exception of physical and background differences, the two girls are basically the same "type" of high school girl thus making the stories seem like a shy-girl gets the popular-boy. In their own ways both stories go through heartache and revelations that each suit their series. They're all high school kids going through that transition to maturity and becoming aware of themselves, others, and the situations presented before them. read more 

Both series have similar style in which the main male protagonist is popular while the main female protagonist is fairly average. Both series takes place at similar settings involving drama, comedy, some emotions, and romance filled with misunderstandings and trials. Both series explores some real life issues that are realistic. Both series' animation are also somewhat similar. 

In the beginning for both anime, the shy girl falls for the popular cool guy. Both are about developing their relationship, and leaves you going "awwwwh! :D" 

The male lead is popular and everyone loves him, He always smiles but he isn't always happy. The female lead falls in love first. However in Bokura go Ita the female isn't "hated" like in Kimi ni Todoke 

Both animes are romance animes. Both animes give off the same feeling. Both dont have that good art but its still a little amusing. 

Both start out out as a slow romance, and also as just friends. Both are thought to be an "unlikely' couple. Both show many of the hardships and reality of a relationship of teens in the 21st century. 

If you're looking for a lovely, and chill love story, I would recommend Bokura ga Ita on the top of my list.. the ending is a bit incomplete..so I would go to the manga and read the last chapter for the ending. This love story was extraordinary! Also, I have to say, some scenes in this anime did make me cry..such as other anime that I've seen.. But I would highly recommend this if you're looking for a slice of life, romance, and school life, type of anime. I loved it! Kimi ni Todoke, is about the same, and it's veryyyyyy cute I have to say. (: read more 

I watched Bokura ga Ita first, and I enjoyed it very much. Lots of drama and beautifull plot twists. Peach Girl is a little less realistic than Bokura ga Ita, but I enjoyed it as well. I certainly can say, if you liked the one, you'll definately like the other! 

One girl and two boys. That's all (BGI is much better though) 

Both have a catchy storyline with a twist of drama & romance with added love triangles here and there. 

Both Bokura ga Ita and Peach Girl are about romances between teenagers in high school. Both have a lot of drama and some love triangles. Also, the two main males struggle with an internal conflict of their's that involve unrequited love with another woman. If you like drama, I recommend this.  

Peach Girl and Bokura ga Ita are both heavy on high school romance, and revolve purely around just that. If you're up for some true doki-doki moments like in Peach Girl, Bokura ga Ita is the way to go. 

Both involve a love triangle..both have similar character personalities 

momo n nana-chan r so alike, n it so many twist n drama n romance backed into one anime im serious if u like either u love the other one 

Both series feature "on-again off-again" relationships between the main character and her love interest. In both series, there is also a third guy that gets caught up in the mix. Light comedy is prevalent in both series (although more noticeable in Peach Girl). The most outstanding similarity, however, is that both anime focuses on, not if the girl gets with the guy, but the actual happenings and goings-on INSIDE of the relationship. 

If you enjoy the whole love triangle drama, and romance you will surely enjoy these two animes! 

If you enjoy soap anime with love triangles and terrible endings, then I highly recommend Bokura ga Ita & Peach Girl. 

yep, are very similar anime, but BGI i'm not finished becoz BGI for children, level of peach girlish ofcoz higher in my opinion and more interesting before the end, end is not good... too big q-ty of troubles%) 

Some characters from each anime is similar. Both have two guys fighting over one girl intertwined in the story. I absolutely loved Bokura ga Ita (it became my favorite romance anime over night, i give it a 10/10). Peach Girl was also very good and funny, although Bokura ga Ita was way more realistic and showed what a true relationship is like, Peach girl still had nice romance and drama. In other words Peach Girl is sort of a lighter/less realistic version of Bokura ga Ita. If you like Bokura ga Ita you will enjoy Peach Girl! 

1. Lots of Drama 2. Love triangle 3. Frustration (in a good way) 4. Vibe  

The romance and their relationship is as soft as in Bgi. The art style is very beautiful, also in Bokura ga ita kind of original I may add. There are also past events that have an impact on characters' relationship.  

Both series are lighthearted romantic comedies that is filled with drama, comedy, and romance. Bokura ga Ita and Sukitte Ii na yo. both has a main girl who is average and normal while the main male protagonist is popular and well liked. However, as they get to know each other, both of them begins to develop feelings. Both series also has misunderstandings that deals with jealousy that takes place at a school life setting. 

Both are a romance anime Both have characters that warm up to your heart Both are very engaging and will make you happy,sad,angry and jealous! 

Bokura ga Ita is more realistic than Sukitte Ii na yo, but some situations from each is similar and the characters from each anime/manga share similar personality traits. Honestly I would recommend Bokura ga Ita in a heart beat over Sukitte Ii na yo, because the Sukittie Ii na yo anime wasn't that great(I prefer the manga way more). Although I love the Sukitte Ii na yo manga, I haven't read the Bokura ga Ita manga yet, so I can't compare them until I do...I'll be sure to recommend it when I do(then you will get a great comparison paragraph) PS: Bokura ga Ita isn't your average shoujo(I'm not even sure if I want to call a shoujo), its a true realistic love story...thats what makes it so beautiful(I rate it a 10/10). Be sure to watch it! read more 

Genre for both anime: Romance, Shoujo ... These two anime are full of romance ,love problems,interruption in relationship etc. Trust me you won't regret :D 

Another anime with a similar art feeling as well as a similar theme of love and relationship difficulties. The heroines of both, Nanami and Mei, fall in love with the popular guy and struggle with what to do afterwards, leading them on a rollercoaster of thoughts and emotions throughout as their relationships evolve, dissolve, and resolve throughout. 

Both are very emotional animes that show development within relationships and hardships between characters. They both have two highschool students dating, one being an insecure and shy girl who is with a well known, popular, handsome guy that is rumored to be a playboy.  

Personally, I didn't like either of these series, but to those who do, these two series are very similar in a few ways: -The girls are comparing themselves to other people. -The relationship starts early on. -There's plenty of drama in both series. -Both main protagonists have some secrets of their own. So yes, I personally did not find these enjoyable, but to the fans of shoujo anime, these are quite similar in every which way. 

They were both about the love of youths.. They were kinda similar to each other and you could really feel the romance, happiness and sadness in love 

They both are Shoujo Anime. They have romance between popular guy and a normal girl in a school. It should be noted that Bokura ga ita is more dramatic. 

Both shows focus more on the 'after confession' part of the relationship, rather than the buildup to it. They also explore all sides of a relationship, from the good to the bad Both pairs also show similarities as the females are both relatively quiet and softspoken, whereas the males are your classic most popular in the class 

Both are strong down-to-earth high school romance dramas where the girl falls for a difficult guy. Bokura ga ita is way more complete as a drama, but it is double the length so that is to ve expected. As heartwarming shojo goes, both shows are absolutely worth watching.  

•both anime resonate with the typical shoujo, romantic, school life, slice of life, genres •both main characters, both girl and boy in each of the anime, are/were both in love with each other until a misunderstanding confronts the couple and causes mishap and heartbreak and confusion in the relationship •both anime has its perks and mishaps, but all the while the surrounding cast add humour and angst towards the main cast, while introducing new rivals to compete and create mayhem for the protagonists •both the main girl, is troubled throughout the anime, while curiosity drives her to be closer to her love, and to find out and help the boy and comfort him •both the main guy, has had lifes problems corrupt his childhood, and made him afraid to trust/love again •both anime are very similar in the development of a troubled and misunderstood relationship working towards a better ending, you might like one if you enjoyed the other read more 

- First thing... Both made me cry a lot - Both are shoujo high school romcoms, Drama, Slice of Life, - Both series, face memories from the past to try resolve ther problems. If you love animes shoujo, you like this one too 

Both emit a certain atmosphere of springtime, they have similar plots and art. The colouring is similar as well, and both have a (more or less) superficial main character who is a girl and a boy who despises superficial girls. Have fun! 

Both of the storylines in these anime are focused on a a boy and girl who like each other, but due to events of the past they are unable to overcome easily, the ending of each is left very ambiguous. The themes are slice of life, romance, and both have shoujo vibes. Very beautiful and similar art style all around. 

The way the male main character acts towards the female about love connections is the same as Bokura Ga Ita. It's the same cookie cutter plot as Bokura Ga Ita as well. 

Both have a high school romance theme and drama related to darker pasts (the bulk of which is explored in the manga after anime ends). Both are about growing up and young love not always being perfect.  

This is similar to Ao Haru Ride because I think they are both more on the drama side. Well, Bokura ga Ita is way more dramatic if that's something you're looking for. Absolutely, love this one because, guess what? Another squeal worthy anime! Woo hoo! So, of course the girl likes the popular guy, but come onnn it gets better. There is so much drama in this and I mean like so many twists and turns and things you won't be expecting. This honestly made me cry at the end, like no spoilers, but uh.. not a happy ending. But I mean I feel like nobody knows how to end shows these days. Haha! More like never. You can't always have happy endings though, I guess. :( Bokura ga Ita is also just super cute, I love the relationships in this. Totally worth a watch. :)  read more 

Characters are similar (won't say why cause spoilers) and the storyline is also similar. When I watched bokura ga ita I kept saying "classic Ao Haru Ride moment", so if you like Bokura ga ita then give ao haru ride a go. Tbh ao haru ride is a better anime due to better visuals and sound but it's shorter and I recommend you reading the manga to fully understand what I mean by the storylines being similar in terms of the boy drama.  

Both have a similar atmosphere, though Kare kano has more commedy. Both have very well developed relationships between male and female protagonists and how they over come their problems with the power of love (more or lessxD)~ Both boys have a sad past and rely on their love to overcome TT____TT 

Both are highschool romances but Kare Kano focuses on how both people are feeling about eachother. Kare Kano's animation is a little... not too fantastic but the story and characters are great. You really get to know Arima and Miyazawa and root for both of them to love eachother more. 

Interesting main couple who overcome hardships within themselves and between each other, helping each other grow. More angst and less humor than Kare Kano though. 

Even though Kare Kano is a bit deeper and has more comedy in it they are really alike. What I love soooo much about both of these is that neither of them go through much heartbreak. A lot of the others have backstabbing freinds and such so you could say they are both a bit of a home-run. 

- About couple dating - They start dating at the beginning of the anime - They need to deal with each other's differences - The protagonist has a past he doesn't like and closes himself off to his girlfriend - They deal with their relationship in different ways, trying to make it work and stay together - Drama anime, but with some funny moments 

Both shows are extremely good shoujo romace/slice of life, and they both deal with similar themes. Honey and Clover has more emphasis on career and work, however, as the characters are older. 

The similar style and animation of the series are hard to deny in both anime(s) Additionally, there's romance and a slow-paced relationship that are tested throughout the series. There are also smooth soundtrack throughout the series that gives the viewers a gentle feel. Furthermore, drama is imminent that rises from the various obstacles the characters faces as the episodes progresses. Looking for romance? Looking for a smooth paced series? Looking for bittersweet moments? Look further no more.  

They are both shoujo, romance, and slice of life animes focusing deeply on life, and how people change others. While there are lighthearted, funny moments there are also horribly sad moments that will make your heart twist. They also both have similar animation and soundtracks. 

Both anime have similar tones that give a bittersweet feeling. They both tackle the genre of romance very maturely and bring something new to the table. Both will make you teary and have a lasting impact on you, because you'll be able to have that emotional connection.  

Drama, romance, angst... Shoujo all the way! They're both serious and on the soapy side, with nice artwork and realistic characters. 

The drama and romance are very similar. They are both extremely heart-breaking. However, NANA is longer and therefore it is more dramatic and heart-breaking. They both also have some humor. 

They are both very dramatic and both have a very good grasp of a deep manga. Bokura ga ita is more of a highschool story and NANA is more mature but I think they are both very good and people would enjoy both of them. 

The similarities are complicated. When I finished NANA I couldn't stop thinking about the feeling that Bokura Ga Ita caused me, it is perfect if you like drama. 

Bokura ga Ita, and Tonari no Kaibutsu kun are very similar in that they are kinda a cookie cutter school life romance anime... That in no way makes anything bad in my view, because I enjoy that type of story every now and again... they differ in that Tonari no Kaibutsu kun leans more toward a tsundere type story, and bokura ga ita is a little more dramatic, but in neither case is anything really overpowering... My most important factor when it comes to making reviews or recommendations is simply how much I enjoyed the anime, and thats what I look for... the categories asked to be reviewed about in the guidelines may contribute to the enjoyment factor, but thats not always the case... I completely enjoyed both of these anime, and if youve seen one, I definitely recommend the other [or both if youre into school life romances, and havent seen either yet[ read more 

These two romance anime both features love which, at some point, leads to betrayal. 

Love and drama in every chapter. A couple has a troubles by the past from one of them, family trouble, love trouble, confusion, friendship troubles, ah, so very dramatic series. Bokura ga ita has a little bit more comedy. In Kimi no iru machi the story is narrated by the boy (haruto) but in Bokura ga ita the story is narrated by the girl (nana-chan) 

Both anime have similar plot: girl meets the most popular and handsome boy in school, hates him, falls in love with him and then they start dating. Also in both anime the boy’s past haunts the relationship. The two main differences are the animation, and the fact that Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu is a 2 episode OVA, while Bokura ga Ita is 26 episodes. But if you liked one give the other a try. 

- Both shows deal with the conflict between the past and the present - They spend more time exploring the relationships rather than the typical will-they-won't-they romance plot BGI art style is beyond crappy but once you get over it , it's way more realistic in terms of story and characters.  

Both shows deal with the struggles of keeping a relationship together. Both have some good comedy moments to balance everything out, and enough drama to keep you wanting more. 

-Both are romance dramas, heavy on the drama. -In both stories, the main character falls in love with a classmate who can't get over someone from their past
