Paradise Kiss

Ok, first the art of Nana and ParaKiss is very similar. Second, the plots revolve around people in showbiz (fashion - music). Third, love, sex and making one's way in life are told in a mature way...means more realistic, minus the teen angst...plus drama. 

Both animes are very visually appealing, and the characters in both series are very trendy and have that cool-coffee house aura. It also has similar romantic themes. Enjoy! 

both mangas were written by the same author so the style of drawing is the same. Also the themes, young love, angst, rebellion, etc are present in both animes. 

Besides being from the same genuis author, both revolve around one thing. For Nana it was music and for ParaKiss it is fashion. Both have realistic and interesting characters, realtionships,friendships, and drama. Plus both animes end in a place where you didnt expect them to. TIAYWBH! (Try It And You Will Be Hooked):)  

Done by the same mangaka, Ai Yazawa, both works highlight fashion and the lifestyle of a select group of artistes, whether of the fashion world or the underground punk scene. The stories, starting out as simple and uncomplicated, soon branch out to explore the separate lives of other characters. While ParaKiss is a little more abbreviated than NANA, both have strong elements of soap opera in them. ParaKiss is actually the earlier work of the two but the art style of Ai Yazawa is echoed to some extent in NANA, featuring skinny characters with a strong sense of style.  

Well, aside from having been made by the same mangaka, I loved both Nana and ParaKiss. If you're into serious drama about love life, you must watch them! 

Both series were created by the awesome Ai Yazawa. The story premises are similar except NANA is about music and ParaKiss is about fashion. What could be better? Both titles are a piece of Shōjo heaven. 

Both are by Mad House and adapdated from the manga by Ai Yazawa. In both you’ll find romance, drama, and a group of friends with all their relationships, problems, and background stories. Both have very pretty and detailed art, unique characters, and a good OST. Parakiss is less romantic and more suggestive than Nana, and the latter is more dramatic and moving. Nana focuses on music and Parakiss on fashion, if you loved one chances are you’ll like the other as well. 

Similar characters not so much in story but you will definitley LOVE this show if uve seen either of them, and im pretty sure it was made by the same person that made nana. its not a long show but trust me youll wish it was when its all over. 

The art for the two shows were originally done by the same person. Both are very realistic, and dramatic. There is romance, (more in NANA, but then again it's a longer anime), and characters discovering who they truly are. Be prepared for tears, or at least deep feelings, in both. (More in NANA, once again, it's longer) 

They are both mature dramas that are based on manga by Ai Yazawa and are targeted towards adult women. Both shows deal with love, drama and finding ones place in life. 

The stories might differ , but their design is similar and so is the atmosphere they give off. You find cool characters with piercings etc. in both series and their plots are pretty interesting. Both have moments of romance, fun, drama as well as melancholy. 

From the same mangaka, now is related about a friendship and one of the characters pass for a suffering relationship with a famous person, and the protagonist is helped with any doubts about life. 

Paradise Kiss and Nana are about "being famous". Nana is more about music, while Paradise Kiss (ParaKiss for short) is about fashion. The stories are about 2 girls who want to be big (as a model and as a band singer). Both series are made by the same mangaka (Ai Yazawa) and include lots and lots of romance and drama. A must see! 

the faces the drawings, the awesome music, krazy styles and details , its all very much alik i abousolutely love both of these shows!!!!!!!! 

Both Nana's (NANA) and Yukari (ParaKiss) try to find love, while moving up in the world with their careers, and trying to find something more to live for. All of the characters are revealed to secrets as their stories progress, and the hard times of characters in NANA are much like that of the hard times for characters in ParaKiss. 

Paradise Kiss is written by the same author, Ai Yazawa. The animation and graphics are similar and it has a really good storyline!  

Romance Sex By Same Creator(same art) can't explain ecatly why there alike but you'll under stand when you watch both VERY good 

As i watched both Paradise Kiss and Nana i found some similarities like the fashion statement this both anime has. Both of this anime has good art in fashion both animes have nice soundtracks and different different genres. The characters too has some similarities as well. :D 

The shows both have a very similar feel and style to it, it's not your average romance anime but both have a very realistic touch over them. The art also looks rather similar although there are of course various difference but still great and fitting for the story!  

Both were produced by MadHouse Studios Several Characters in each dress in the visual kei style There are several similar characters in both Nana having more episodes was able to expand on its drama and characters better Also there is quite a bit more comedy in Nana Characters change clothes quite a bit in both anime Both are animes that take one of the more realistic approaches to romance Both animes are about an interesting girl joining a talented group of people And the Main Char. girl who joins also gets a nickname in both Nana and Paradise The Opening and Ending song fit Nana and Paradise Kiss really well 

The author of both anime is the same. Both anime talk about love and fame world. They both have a similar ambient and the characters are extravagant. 

Ai Yazawa’s work is so distinctive that no one could mistake Nana and Paradise Kiss as being written by anyone else. While the series aren't perfect, they can be considered one of the frontrunners of modern shoujo romance. I emphasize modern because of how backward and traditional other romance anime seems when compared to Yazawa’s work. While other shoujo series are still mucking about with idealistic conceptions of the One True Love, the feelings of Yazawa’s characters are much more complex, layered, and believable. Nana and Paradise Kiss are amazing not only for convincing us that its characters love each other, but for convincing us that we know why they love each other. read more 

They are written by the same author. Both have emotional impact, though the end may be viewed as a happy one. 

They are both able to dig themselves into your heart and really love them. They are both great works of art that appeal to a persons romantic side. You will be constantly be experiencing all of the characters emotions as if they were your own. Truly recommend you watch it.  

Both are works from Ai Yazawa, Paradise Kiss is a Josei series just like Nana and it focuses on love, fashion, and life changing decisions. If you found it enjoyable and are looking for something similar give this a try. 

- Both anime are by the same studio - Art styles are similar - Main characters have a dream they want to achieve, and they also want to leave their home town for something bigger - I'd describe both anime as more of a josei anime (so the story is a bit more mature), even though Nana is tagged as shoujo in MAL - The romance seems more realistic than most romance anime Just give them both a go, and you'll see the similar vibe they have. They're both great. 

both coming-of-age, and mainly about romantic relationships, but Paradise Kiss is set at the end of high school, and is more focused and less rambly & sentimental than Nana becomes. 

They both are intricate storylines with rather complex characters. They both are on the mature side and deal with the theme that love isn't perfect. They both have characters who are trying to make it. Nana has music and Paradise kiss had music. Nana is definitely longer and in my opinion, Nana is better but if you're looking for something similar I recommend Paradise kiss.  

The author of Nana is the author for Paradise Kiss, so if you love her work you'll enjoy this. -Similar anime style and art -Good romance -Stunning characters -the main character Yukari is a young woman who is trying to figure out what she wants in her life and along the way meets people who change her life and bring in the inspiration she needs, similar to the girls in Nana ^_^ 

These two anime give of the same kind of mature feel, interesting unique characters and both have the same author. 

"Paradise Kiss" and "Nana" share similarities that contribute to their appeal. Both series explore themes of self-discovery, personal growth, and the challenges of navigating relationships. They emphasize fashion and artistic expression, portraying characters involved in creative industries. Complex romantic relationships and flawed, relatable characters add depth to the narratives. Both series capture the spirit of youth culture and coming-of-age experiences. Music plays a significant role in both, with memorable soundtracks enhancing emotional moments. While distinct, their shared themes make them compelling to fans of character-driven stories and the complexities of human connections. 

if you liked nana, you might like paradise kiss, both are from the same manga author and has romance, slice of life, comedy, drama.  

Both feature complex relationships rather than the more simplistic love stories common to anime. There's some deeply traumatic themes later in both stories. While Paradise Kiss focuses on fashion and breaking into modelling/fashion design, Nana is music-oriented. There's also themes of queerness in both (much more overt in Paradise Kiss, and mostly subtextual in Nana). Finally, although the character models for some characters are similar, their actual personalities are very different. Caroline and Nana Osaki, George and Ren, Arashi and Nobu: although these characters might look similar to each other, their personalities are vastly different. 

Apart from the obvious visual appeal, both are similar because they are about relationships, being young, and finding one's self. 

if you like Yazawa Ai then that's a good thing because both series are from that author. Both are equally enjoyable. 

They've got a similar vibe, both very enjoyable. They've both got fashion related things in them and most characters do dress really nicely, there's also romance and drama in both. 

another great work of ai yazawa <3 

both created by ai yazawa, similar artsy-ness, and (obviously) a similar animation style.  

Those shows are both romances (to some degree) about girls that changing their appearance end up changing their whole life. Fashion is also of importance in both series, we deal with models and designers, though in ParaKiss the main heroine is a model and in Kuragehime she's a designer (of sorts). 

Fashion, cross-dressers, a little romance~ If you enjoyed Paradise Kiss, you'll love Kuragehime. The latter is definitely more humorous! Both's main girl has no knowledge of fashion. Both show the distances from being normal and/or an otaku to becoming stylish and beautiful.  

Theses are both great anime about fashion and have a shy characters and a very flamboyant one trying there damnedest to make them come out, both times it is a girl who is she and the guy who is out there, In Kuragehime the guy does dress as a girl but ohwell there is one in pardise kiss aswell. Pardise kiss has more romace with the main then Kuragehime but both are great anime and should be watched. Both aired in the same time block known as noitaminA. 

Paradise Kiss and Kuragehime are both josei anime, dealing with life in a big city. Both deal with romance issues and both contain cross-dressers. Paradise Kiss is more realistic with a huge amount of fashion, while Kuragehime contains a little bit of fashion, but a huge amount of comedy. 

Characters of these 2 are into fashion and go into detail about Japanese fashion and culture. 

Dress designing. Cross-dressing. Josei. Small, but colourful cast. Paradise Kiss is mostly serious and realistic, while Kuragehime is more humor based. 

These are the most fashionable animes out there!!? .ﾟ☆(ノё∀ё)ノ☆ﾟ. They are also the only animes I've ever found where they are sewing a lot. As a fashion nerd and a cosplayer I can't tell you enough how happy it makes me to watch anime characters work together to sew something!! (o✪‿✪o) 

Paradise kiss is about a normal highschool girl who has been good all her life until she is scouted by a group of fashion designers called "ParaKiss" its similar to Princess Jellyfish in many ways and is also made by Josei like Princess Jellyfish. 

You know what the anime world needs more of... fashion! There is a short supply of anime that focus on the more fabulous side of life, and even more so a female adult targeted audience(not to say these shows can't be enjoyed by everyone), both shows carry a more adult feel while still keeping their innocence and comedic sides. These shows display more mature relationship without turning to an ecchi route. While both showcasing great style and strong friendships.  

This one is more lighthearted and not really as much drama as in nana but it also has a similar vibe I would say. The main characters are cute and nice, also some fashion related things here aswell.  

Both are fashion related in a way, where they show a whole new "fashion world" to the protagonist, opening their eyes to what they truly want. Paradise Kiss being more mature. 

Both have VERY similar vibes and stories, both are about the fashion world and outcast girls. 

Both have aspects of fashion and people who are seemingly different forming beautiful relationships. Both also touch some sensitive topics quite well and maturely. I'd also suggest Kuragehime if you liked Nana :)  

THE fashion. If Paradise Kiss was a comedy, it would had been Princess Jellyfish 

Both have similar animation styles thanks to Madhouse producing both. They both also have similar plots. 

They have a very similar style, dialogues, and feel to them; in fact they're both produced by Mad House and have the same director, Osamu Kobayashi. In both the protagonist wants to change his/her life, grow up, and mature. Beck focuses on music and is male-oriented, while ParaKiss is a Josei series and revolves around fashion (but music is also present, thanks to Arashi). 

Beck and Paradise Kiss have the same kinda feel. They are made by the same producers and kinda have the same drawing style. Also, both series are about fame. Beck is more about music, Paradise Kiss is about fashion. They are both really great and enjoyable. Still though, Paradise Kiss is josei (shojo) while Beck is more seinen/shonen. 

Both are romance shoujo series in which main characters aspire to become famous and succeed in show business. They are full of character development, and challenges heroines go trough tend to overshadow romantic aspects of series, significantly more in Skip Beat.  

Both love stories. Its been a while since I watched Paradise Kiss so I cant remember that well, but I do remember that its great. and I liked the feeling. I had same emotions watching Skip Beat! and Paradise Kiss. Skip Beat! makes you laugh and wonder why the characters are so stupid, but in a funny way.The anime has been done in a great way. (You have probably watched Skip Beat! if you have watched Paradise Kiss... but still) Skip Beat! makes you fall in love with the characters and you cant help, but to continue watching. I have watched Skip Beat! several times and its not even my favorite anime. Skip Beat! has only 1 S and 25ep. And the series doesen't come to a satisfying closure, but gladly we have the manga that keeps on continuing still. (Skip Beat! is enjoyable and great even if you dont read the manga.)  read more 

Both are very similar, though Paradise Kiss is a lot better in my opinion. Both have to do with a tryhard girl who wants to make it in the fashion/entertainment business...and are jaded by the people around them. 

Similar about fashion design and model. The difference that Paradise Kiss is a Shoujo and run with distinguished approach in comparassion.  

Both focus around aspiring fashion models trying to make in the industry and one lead is the designer while the other would be the model as well too and of course elements of romance as well too.  

Both anime have fashion as their main theme, both are about characters who sew their own clothes and try to succeed in a field of fashion industry with their model friend who puts on the clothes 

two anime based on the superb work of mangaka ai yazawa. they even share some of the same characters. check both these anime out, they are awesome! 

This story is set earlier than Paradise Kiss, it is in the view of Miwako's sister when she was starting Happy Berry, its also a Romantic-Comedy and has a lot to do with fashion. 

this is the sequel! 

- features the unsociable to sociable pipeline - romance between a unpopular person and fashionable, popular person - features modeling and clothes-making - Ending song uses simplified, cartoony character animations 

both are fashion theme stories of aspiring models as well as nice art and character designs to look at. 

both focus on a eccentric club and a girl caught up in their antics as well as their friendships with each other. 

Paradise Kiss is better than Ouran in my opinion, it's a lot more mature shoujo but still equally as funny. Both have very similar stories and vibes, if you liked Ouran you will love Paradise Kiss. 

- modeling - quick developing romance - drama - lonesome girl making friends - coupled friends 

Unique main characters , cool and warm at the same time , it makes a better mood . It's like having a good meal .Despite eating multiple times a day ,you instantly get hungry and every time you eat you feel happy . If you have a bite while starving you just get hungrier and want more . That's how I felt when watching paradise kiss and sukitte ii na yo so I felt that i have to recommend it to those who liked sukitte ii na yo. 

Artiswitch is like Death Parade (which also has a movie named 'Death Billiards' that came before it) and Paradise Kiss had a baby. It has the 'finding yourself' narrative & fashion aspects of Paradise Kiss, but the 'mysterious unknown location' & helping/analyzing people parts of Death Parade. I highly recommend all 3 if you're a fan of Artiswitch. 

Both series for mature audience Its not your typical high school love story Both have sexual content but not H 

The art style is similar and it gives you the same kind of feeling. It's a realistic story and it's about work and relationships. It's both fun to watch. When I'm watching Hataraki Man I can't stop thinking of Paradise Kiss. I think that if you like one of them, you will like the other one too. 

They both have situations you would find in everyday collage life. There both about the art's except one is fine arts and the other id fashion. Paradise Kiss-fashion Honey and Clover-art 

Josei about hard work and relationships, with a lot of real-life references - Josei - Deepening in Work/Hobbie and Relationships (family, friendships, love) - maturation - Characters with well-developed personalities, showing their strengths and weaknesses throughout the anime in a human way, resembling real life - Characters' choices affect the course of their lives - Shows the characters in adolescence into adulthood - They focus on hobbies (SnA) or work (paradise kiss) performed with excellence and we follow all the paths, including the successes and mistakes. We also can see how important it is for they - Not everything is as we hope - They are more mature anime, both in the story and in the characters and in the character's appearance - Nice music One more detail in common was the tightness in my heart that I felt at the end of each of these animes, and it wasn't because it ended. read more 

Both focus on a female character particularly in the entertainment industry and their determination to make it in their goals also nice art and character designs too. 

Crazy dudes around them and girls just tryna make it in the world, both have very similar stories and vibes. Both have top notch humour and are super un-traditional shoujos.
