Both are great anime series (Haikara-san is an old TV series and then later reworked into two movies, watch the movies for a better version that cuts out a lot from the original series, but it still works) that are similar in more ways than not. They both focus on a girl as the main character and her lover that drives them to keep on going. Both hit you in the feels, are relatable, and have some funny moments. Definitely check the other show out, you will like them both!

Both of these stories have a historical setting in that very interesting period where women wore modernized kimono and sometimes Western (Victorian!) fashions. Both heroines are equally plucky and independent, in love with a soldier. Zakuro's setting has more folklore and fantasy elements, but very similar vibes overall.

Glass no Kamen (2005) addpermalink

A stubbornly plucky heroine who is a borderline tomoboy, of "average" looks, but otherwise impressively talented? Check. Be ready for those melodramatic shoujo plot twists, and for all the male leads to be somehow inclined to help/be in love with our single-minded girl.
If you felt Haikara-san was too short and fast paced, treat yourself to Glass Mask.

Both feature strong female leads ,  determined women who are not afraid to stand up for what they believe in.
Both anime explores themes of love, loss, and hope.
 I also love Haikara-san and was recommended My happy marriage because a friend said they were similar

 Its not much on similar on the first one but the main heroine lost the person that she loved on the time of the war taking into literature, believing that the person is still alive in the end

First of. The Mc are kind of similar, both of them have a wild, tomboyish personality. Both of the mc are like able.The plot stories are kind similar, they are force to marry someone though different tradition but kind of the same, the other japanese-tradition like while the other western-like (idk).  The stories goes on, the girl slowly being in love with the boy and stuff..

Taishou Otome Otogibanashi addpermalink

Although one is a two-part movie and the other is a 12-episode anime, both carry charming themes of a love story between two dynamic people. They both persevere through the times during the Taisho Era, which is certainly an interesting timeline to explore. Overall very lighthearted and fun to watch for both of them!

Love stories set in the Taishō era featuring the theme of arranged marriages and women seeking independence from that and trying to find their own love
