Both series revolve around asocial male leads that are tricked/forced into joining a club. They also have a female lead that drives their male counterpart to perform club tasks and, surprisingly, do a good job while he is at it. They are also both high school comedies with hints of romance.

Both series have a protagonist who appears completely disinterested in everything with average intelligence and poor social skills. But in fact is highly skilled in a variety of fields and has amazing understanding for the essence of situations he finds himself in. A female protagonist who is cold and maintains distance from people achieving an unapproachable feel to herself. She has poor social skills, but above average intelligence and beauty to match her academic skills. Both anime have the same groups of students interacting with each other, the popular kids, the athletic kids, the smart kids. And of course our protagonists do not fit in  read more

'Teen Romantic Comedy Gone Wrong', or whatever typically long-winded light novel jibberish 'Yahari Ore' translates into shows all the signs of being Boku Friendship DONE RIGHT. As another user noted with their recommendation, Boku Friendship gradually turns into something of a full-on ecchi harem fest. Unlike Yahari, Boku wa started out as purely lighthearted rom-com fluff--causing later developments that expand on previously 1D comic relief characters to be awkward & its lead's turn towards a more... emo stance coming across unnaturally. Yahari one-upped this by presenting its characters as humans with relatable social difficulties from the get-go whilst still retaining sharp, witty dialogue. Instead of, say,  read more

If you like one of these male leads you should enjoy the perspective of the other. While Yuhari is really starred by the main female instead of the main male the females have a lot in common in terms of being independent, strong and confusing for the males to figure out. Both shows feature limited but well developed for 12 ep anime series supporting casts.

Yui reminds me of Minori from Toradora and I feel OreGairu has got a lot of inspiration from that series with the lead male as well (though he not only looks delinquent, he pretty much is). Similar storyline pacing and character dialogue/interactions. As a big fan of Toradora I think this one is going to be a must.

Series that are being anti-genre towards rom-com and have their witty (mostly sarcastic) dialogues as arsenal on their series. Both main characters have introvert personality that has a lot of internal monologue throughout the series which usually has a slapstick on its end although SNAFU has much pessimistic dark humor (which more entertaining to mature audiences) than Watamote.

Both has anti-social tendencies that they already decided to go with it. OreGaIru is more onto accepting what you are and being better about it. while JakuChara is more on changing for the better. So watching them is like seeing their own different path with almost the same out look in life.

Both are about loners and existential crises. NHK is about running from reality, Yahari is about running from people. Or vice versa :) However, NHK is about a shut-in in his 20s and Yahari is about high-school life, thus the latter is more of the mainstream.

Both shows feature male leads that are realistic (or pessimistic) narrators. While Hachiman's outlook tends to focus on the dark-side of individuals and society, Kyon in Melancholy carries only a sarcastic and cynical tone in his narration. Both leads are dropped into after-school clubs against their will, filled with interesting characters. Kyon deals with an energetic, enigmatic female lead whose antics often place its club members in trouble. Hachiman on the other hand, works with an ice-queen club leader and carries significantly less pull than Kyon. The similarities of the male leads and the environments each is placed makes these shows easy to compare, even  read more

While both series don't have the exact same premise, Kokoro Connect and Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru. deal with a group of characters who get together at school while participating in various events/activities. Both series' main female protagonists have a strong and independent personality but sometimes are too brutally honest. Among other things, the interactions between the main characters of both series are what makes it a fun watch through the usage of humor, dialogues, and gags. Both series also add flavor to the romance side as there seems to be some drama between the main characters.

I heard these two compared and contrasted on a forum as something along the lines of "one is about three friends unselfishly seeking friendship and finding love; the other is about three friends selfishly seeking love and finding friendship". I'll let you decide how true that is after having watched it but I did feel these two were semi similar. The biggest similarity is the dynamic of the three main characters, a male and two females (and the two girls are sort of parallels character wise), and the unspoken feelings between the three of them.

If you add up a love hating, otaku, unpopular male protagonist, a cold, intelligent, sharp tongued female protagonist, with some equally interesting female protagonists? What do you get? You get two of the best romcom animes in history. Both anime's are set in a school club environment where everyday comedy and romance ensues. Why is this? Because a couple of beautiful female characters going after your average normal male lead character can create some hilariously awkward situations. If you enjoyed one of these anime's, I will bet my underwear that you will say the same about the other.

Both series have very intelligent characters, who just can't express their true feelings or even understand themselves to the full capacity. A huge amount of both shows is dedicated to overthinking mundain situations and scheming social interactions. The romances in both are based on communication and compatibility.

Both "My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU" and "ORESUKI Are you the only one who loves me?" do a wonderful job in subverting the romantic comedy tropes that we typically see in anime. There's only so many times the same old story can be told and manga writers themselves are starting to become aware of this. The self-aware commentary told by the main characters of both shows, Hachiman and Joro, is quite refreshing to see. While "ORESUKI" takes a more light-hearted comedic tone, "SNAFU" often takes a more serious route when analyzing relationships. That's not to say "ORESUKI" completely waves off the emotions of its characters  read more

Both shows delve into the personal intricacies of romance and interpersonal relationships at the high school age range and have a rather cynical lead character. Just Because has a stronger focus on the romance aspect while Oregairu has a more subtle approach. However, Oregairu also covers other social dynamics and digs deeper into its characters.

This shows are wry, conversational high school romantic comedies that sarcastically comment on and deconstruct the differences between high school rom-coms and (notional) real life. Also, in both anime, the protagonist is a snarky and prickly, but sympathetic and kind person inside, who sincerely helps girls cope with their psychological problems. By the way, the author of Losing Heroines calls Oregairu one of his favorite LNs, so the similarities are most likely not accidental.

In both series, they take place at a local high school setting. But more importantly, there is a club where friends gather and conduct daily activities. The main male protagonist in both series are not similar but they do have a way to present their thoughts to others in a not so typical fashion. On the other hand, the main female MC in both series are independent and has a cool aura around them.

I don't know why but Yahari reminded me of Gintama. First of all the protags of both anime are in a group or a club which helps people or lend a hand to them. Both protags are lazy and hikkikomori types. Both anime have very dark themes even though the comedy and comical dialogues of both the anime are above par. Both can provide us for good moral lessons.

Both series have more or less have the same content that exploits human natures tendency to collapse due to corruption, misinformation, immaturity, ignorance & forced societal complementary.Self monologues are the highlight of both series though that would be obvious since the characters have introvert sides, also had a slow start due to foreshadowing, it also had four seasons without winter. Only difference is that SNAFU is more straightforward and doesn't like to present things in a metaphorical analogies unlike JWSS does most of the time, it inputs real somewhat humane characters instead.

Even if one is a Shoujo and the other is sort of like a Seinen, the two share many similarities. They both revolve around troubled teenagers and their difficulty making friends. They both tap into questioning how they should deal with their social lives. To sacrifice their own values just to make friends or not? To be honest to themselves and other people or to sacrifice that just to avoid being excluded from the group? Yahari goes a little deeper though. The male main characters are also both very pessimistic. The upbeat female main characters are also both..well..upbeat.

There is a sudden degree of odd elements present that defines high school clubs. For starters, delusions come into play with fantasy thoughts playing in the heads of our main characters. As much bizarre as these series can get, they also question anything that directly or indirectly affects them and solves it with their own methods. The main male protagonist gets himself involved with such clubs reluctantly after sudden circumstances. Although seemingly against the whole idea, the main characters do begin to appreciate more of themselves and the club's members. At the same time, they still make brash comments about others.

Both animes have similar plot structures and main characters who are poignant in their personality and seem rather cautious of others. SNAFU is a bit more down to earth with hints of romance.

Both shows are very similar due to their slow pace, gradual exploration of the motivation and actions of the characters, as well as the rather subtle and attentive development of the romantic line. The main difference, of course, is that Yagate Kimi ni Naru is a melancholic shoujo-ai, and Oregairu, on the contrary, is a sarcastic school comedy with a male lead. Moreover, I do not know whether it is intentional or not, but Touko and Yuu are so similar to Yukinon and Yui that sometimes it may seem like a yuri fanfic on Oregairu, especially considering the popularity of Yukinon/Yui pairing.

Both take place in High School and both Male protagonists are forced to join a club in which all other members are Females. However, these two are more than your typical High School Slice-of-Life Anime. YOSLCM's protagonist has a unique style of thinking, borne from his pessimism towards his peers. Conveniently, so do the females of Yakiun Domo- they are so perverted that bog standard objects can quickly become the stuff of jokes. In this case, it's hard to feel pessimistic- this show is absolutely sidesplitting! YOSLCM is far from inferior though- its serious social commentary complements Yakiun Domo, which aims to provide viewers with utterly random comedy.

Romances that are not particularly romantic, but are nonetheless very entertaining. Oregairu is more comedic/parodic; Yesterday is more dramatic/straightlaced. Main characters are generally immature, broken, or borderline toxic personalities who are nonetheless immediately and completely relatable and usually sympathetic. Both shows do a good job of portraying the complication of real-life emotions and insecurities interestingly and convincingly. Both shows create emotional payoff for the viewer by having the characters straighten out their own emotions and then act on them - even when those emotional actions wind up creating conflict or don't actually solve the root problem of the situation or character.

Both series' main male protagonist on the other hand seems to be aloof and wonders about every day life as if it's just a typical day, every day. There is comedy, drama, and hints of romance here and there. There's also some conflicts between the school members with others. More importantly though..in both series, there  read more

Haha, you're thinking how in the world is this similar to kimi ni todoke? Both MC's initially had no friends and were very antisocial, but for different reasons. The majority of the show is subjectively in the protag's perspective where a lot of narrating is done explicitly to the audience. The MC's grow in character in every episode while overcoming obstacles given by their new found relationships. Both in school setting and have couple of festivals taking place in the anime. Both animes are all about character development.

Both cover the trials of youth and just how misaligned our desperate struggles and percieved notions of supremacy really are when trudging through the challenging of discovering just who we truly are as an indiviudal. Whilst aku no hana excels at suspense and dread, yahari masters social distance and interpersonal anxiety. Either they both are so incessantly focused on self identity it's outrageously addictive.

1-The main character Ikuta san and Hachiman san - both play the bad guy role while resolving problems. - Thinking the same way. - Look at people and every thing around very well before moving. But at the same time they look very reckless. - Lazy. - they look negative but they are positive actually. And they do not know that. - like people and want to save them when no one think they will. - If you know them well you will like them and want to help them. - popular and loved, I do not really know if they know that but I guess they figure it out later. - They are  read more

Similarities: Both have a logical main character who is comfortable being alone. Both possess good observational skills that they use to help people, and both try to stay out of lime light.

Yukino and Kuroda are very similar characters and they look almost the same too. Both school-based. Both have rom-com aspects although Yahari has more a bit more drama than Shoujo (based on first ep).

Whereas the two series aren't even close, their relativity could be on characters. First one, the main character, Okabe, kind of reminds me of Hachiman for his lone personality, half-chuuni humour(in between Steins;Gate's will and the 108 Skills of the Loner). But the true comparison I would suggest is Yukino and Kurisu, whereas one is from America, graduated from college and the other is in firs-year of highschool, both are geniuses. As well, both are in someway tsundere (perhaps also kuudere) ; romance exists in between them and the main characters of respective series. To wrap at it, Kurisu and Yukino both seem so weak and alone,  read more

Both series share a similar school setting. Main characters meet in a club and have some hilarious interactions and experiences. Comedy-focused slice of life with some lighthearted romance.

In both of these series, you are focused on the psychology of a restricted number of characters, and how it is going to influence each other's mindset. There are similarities between the main characters since the series describe their way to understand their own feelings.

Both series have a club that solve people problems, featuring two girls and one boy. And one of girls in both series voiced by Hayami Saori (Yuuno Arashiko and Yukinon, of course). Well, the way of solving problems is completly different, as well as series genre and mood. That because in Yahari Ore no Seishun ROMCOM went terrible wrong, as title honestly describes. I can compare MM! and Oregairu with two sides of the same coin. If you, for some reason, just watched Oregairu and now want to know how how typical "Teen Romanctic Comedy" could be - you should watch MM! Otherwise - if you  read more

If you're willing to hop over a genre to a school romantic comedy, these two shows share quite a lot of similarity, especially in the protagonists. Both embrace a somewhat antihero role in their respective universes, despite being overall very well-intentioned. Yahari Ore honestly has very little romance in it, and if you're interested in the underlying issues that One Punch tries to tackle, there are many of the same themes and a similar comedic style.

Similarities: Both protagonists were living through rough times, however they think well on their feet. Both protagonists are great characters (smart, cool). (Hachiman from Oregairu, Tatsuya Shiba from Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei). Both anime take place in a high school setting. Differences: Oregairu doesn't involve magic or fighting abilities when in compared to Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei.

both have comedy and a main character with a "special" outlook on life. momoka thinks that everyone else exist for her sake and hikigaya is a total pessimist (though he thinks of himself as a realist). beside that they are both some of the best anime ever created.

Similar Vibe (but less mature). Ichikawa is like a Hachiman but more kind. Art style and music are great in both anime.

Both anime seem to present themselves a typical show of their respective genre However, they manage to subvert every single cliché and trope in their genre with refreshing dialog and good characters. Particularly, the dialog between the main two characters is outstanding.

These shows are similar in the sense that they approach the characters' actions and mindsets with subtlety and give you hints as to why they make their choices. Oregairu seeks to help out people in their school, but Sakurada Reset wishes to achieve this on a grander scale.

if you think about it, oregairu is like "what if school days was a romcom without constant betrayal and lying". - both have nihillistic main characters who dont give a damn about anything most of the time, but like to be helpful on rare occasions - mcs furthermore struggle with social interactions - different girls having feelings for them as well - basic school life anime with pretty common school events like school festivals
