Tsuki ga Kirei

Tsuki ga Kirei feels like Just Because! but with a younger cast. Similar colors, lighting, and mood. It focuses more on a single couple, whereas Just Because! focuses on more of a love pentagon. But are believable and fun to watch. Similar music in both as well. 

- Both are original works - Both set on 3rd year students environment, though different grade - Both have semi-realistic school romance - Both have cute and pleasant vibes - Both are quite slow paced, tsukigakirei is slower - Both show anxiety, loneliness regarding graduation moment - Both will remind you of your past school days 

Both anime give a pleasant vibe...while watching the ep 1 i felt this gonna be as good as tsuki ga kirei ...no ...more than it the school..drama..romance..these are similar. 

both tsuki and because talk about a group of characters and the development of their love life. Tsuki as a slower pace and we only follow a single couple (althought both have a love triangle) Both are slice of life and are set in high school (both in the last year of high school) 

Similar atmosphere revolves around school love life and also a love triangle  

Similar school atmosphere along with proper romance that both does not stall until the last few episodes before developing relationships. Just Because! has a greater sense of realism compared to Tsuki ga Kirei's lighter atmosphere, but both converge towards the same audience and both have a rather heartwarming story for romance, school and slice of life fans. 

To simply put it: TSUKI GA KIREI SEASON 2! just watched the first episode and I couldn't stop getting those Tsuki ga Kirei vibes. The characters seem somehow similar and the art is almost identical and it's both a calm and nice beautiful school romance story :) 

Both are about school life and romance, but in a soft and realistic way, what makes the animes pleasant to watch. The pace is slow, so it's possible to know and feel like the characters.  

The second original romance anime of this year, with central theme of using LINE (like the Japanese version of Whatsapp or Wechat mobile social networks). Up till now, Tsuki ga Kirei has better execution and character development in my opinion, but Just Because is more if not too dramatic in comparison. 

It is funny how both animes gave me the same déjà vus of the mistakes and events that happened when I started dating my first girlfriend. What I love the most about these animes, and why I specifically recommend this anime over others is because of the LINE live messages that the characters send each other, a reminder touch of how attentive we were to her/his messages. 

Both are slow paced romance anime with similar school setting. Enjoy! 

These two anime are definitely similar in many ways. However, Tsuki ga Kirei has a much more fulfilling ending as compared to Just Because. Im very conflicted in deciding which one was better. The endings of these two anime gave me a bittersweet feeling and left me longing for more. (Rated both 9/10) 

They both are similar in a lot of ways. These two are pleasant to watch.  

"Just Because!" is like "Tsuki ga Kirei", except with older characters (high school) and with a bit more of a focus on the whole main friend group instead of just the main couple. Oh, and also another great difference is that "Just Because!" doesn't have terrible random CGI scenes like "Tsuki ga Kirei". That should be enough of a reason to give it a try! 

slow pacing , school anime , not a very talkative main character , heart warming love story , no exaggerated comedy  

If you like true love anime, then Just Because would suit you =)))) I mean.... last year of school, romantic, etc Both anime is kind of like the same. I pretty like them 

Both anime have this realistic feel and similar atmosphere. Both anime takes place in 3rd grade (middle school in Tsuki ga Kirei, high school in Just Because!). Both are great romance anime. If you like one of these, you might like the other one. 

Both Tsuki ga Kirei and Just Because adapt school romance in a really cute and I would say a realistic way, considering how school romance works in Japan. 

The two started when the girl and the boy slowly fell with each other but when the time came when they have to choose their school, (the difference is Tsuki ga kirei was during their Middle School while Just Because! was during their highschool) they did everything to be with the person they love, in the end, it's a happy ending 

I support the Just Because! recommendation to an extent I guess. It obviously follows the trend of a more grounded/realistic relationship, this time with a slightly bigger cast of characters that the story follows versus the main two. What's kinda holding back this immediate recommendation is that there's a very different style of pacing between the two, and I think if you're watching for a more grounded romance then Just Because! is definitely for you, but if you're looking for that pacing that is found in Tsukigakirei then you probably wouldn't enjoy Just Because! all too much. 

TEXTING Lots and lots of it, the entire plot essentially revolves around it. Having it primarily developed and depicted all but with a cellphone to tell. But despite that, both series are honestly excellent, giving the relaxing vibes even if it highly depends on its dramatic aspects while being realistic at most. Additionally, speaking of drama, the said aspect is properly established wherein it doesn't feel forced nor illogical. As I said, it feels realistic, and I am glad I've watched these two. Give it a try and you might like it as well. 

both about school life, both about applying to different schools for the future, both deal with love relationships, and both have some drama and that wholesome feeling. 

Just Because can be seen as the highschool equivalent of Tsuki ga Kirei. Both these shows are really realistic and relatable and will have you constantly reminding yourself of your days in middle school or high school. The anxiety and awkwardness is more evident in Tsuki ga Kirei, but is still present in Just Because. Both of these revolve around school relationships and romances, and both do include love triangles. The use of LINE is much more apparent in Tsuki ga Kirei, than in Just Because, but LINE still plays a crucial part. 

Both are very wholesome love stories that you can relax just by the atmosphere. Characters are so pure and innocent. Both are mostly happy stories. Colors used in just because is more melancholic, which i like but tsuki ga kirei has much more better art style. 

These animes both shown romance in natural and realistic way that depicts on how feelings conveyed to each other. With no source material adapted, both are most debated original romance animes way back in 2017. 

It is a very beautiful realistic love story, which has a different approach from other romances, you take care of the characters and it will make you release different feelings when you see 

Slice of life romance 

Tsuki ga kerei is same as just because. Tsuki ga kerei based on middle schoole romance while just because based on high school romance.  

Beautiful animation, and great romance! The flavour of love is served in a calming way. It seems childish, but a good watch for calming yourself. 

The atmosphere of these two anime are very similar. So calm and quite. The characters are not over the top and are realistic. In terms of story, even though Tsukigakirei is superior, Just Because have a more complicated relationships. Tsukigakirei shows a more innocent and wholesome middle school romance while Just Because shows the chaotic relationships in High School. 

Tsuki ga Kirei is, in fact, the first episode of Byousoku 5 Centimeter in the format of the 12 episode series. 

Fair amount of similarities. Tsuki ga Kirei is not as sad. - Both have protagonists who fall in love at a young age - Both have pretty backgrounds(Shinkai's artwork is obviously much prettier) - Realistic relationships in both - Both deal with long-distance relationships, Tsuki ga Kirei less so, but it is essentially 5cm/s if Takaki didn't give up. 

I got the same vibes from them i would say Tsuki Ga Kirei is the anime version of Byousoku with less depression, both are realistic romances that pretty much focus on that only, the art, OST and theme songs are also great in both 

This anime felt a lot like a more in-depth version f the beginnings of 5cm per Second. Similar plot, with young middle school kids having developed some sort of friendship or relationship with Tsukigakirei going a little bit more deeply into their developing feelings for one another. Both have a similar story with how the female character moves away during their high school years, however Tsukigakirei has the ending that would pretty much be the "what if?" ending for 5cm if the two ended up working out the distance problem and ended up together. Tsuki ga Kirei is a lot more detailed, considering it is a 12 episode series as opposed to a three part special.  read more 

A very similar commitment to realism in character interaction. I'm not sure it's as PRETTY, strictly speaking, but it feels very similar. It's not quite as GOOD either, but it will definitely scratch a similar itch. 

The anime pretty much similar, but it has a better ending also the story pretty good. 

A different approach to long distance relationship. Watching both anime will give you the possibility to see the other face of the coin and possibly get a better understanding of both. Coincidentally they have similar art styles and pacing. 

Similarities: Literally the first episode of 5 Centimeter per Second as a 12 episode series Both animes are very emotional and have great romance features to them High school setting Characters from both shows are in a similar age range 

When you watch Tsuki ga kirei, you can perceive emotions similar to Kimi ni todoke. Although, Tsuki ga kirei is an anime with a rapid progress and the characters development is more detailed in Kimi ni todoke, the plots are quite similar and in both cases, stories are cute and optimistic. 

TL;DR: Both anime are extremely similar in terms of the romance and the respective characters in the show, but slightly different in regards to the length. Kimi ni Todoke and Tsuki ga Kirei are truly gems in the romance department that are rarely seen in anime nowadays in which you have a pure relationship born from circumstances that the audience can actually relate to. The characters aren't blatantly unrealistic or in possession of supernatural/magical ability. They are simply two, normal individuals, who find affection in one another as they steadily become more involved with one another over time—recognizing each other's virtues and personalities. The characters are also super similar in that the main protagonists are shy to some degree, but still seek to show their affection and grow closer to one another. It's just so satisfying to watch their subtle displays of affection every now and then. The primary difference between the two shows lies in the pacing. Kimi ni Todoke uses 2 full seasons of around 26 eps each to develop the relationship between the main characters while Tsuki ga Kirei uses 12 eps to fully develop the relationship. Regardless, whether it be one or the other, the development is done spectacularly.  read more 

Both are very feel good romance with well wrapped up endings.  

Both slice of life, romance anime that revolve around everyday life. Truly masterpiece's of the romance genre and would love to watch more.  

They are both such adorable and at the same time awkward romances! Both give off a very fluffy feeling. 

Similarities: Both are very wholesome romance animes Shy main characters A lot of drama, and comedy 

Both shows have early romances, instead of being a sol wholesome anime, it’s a sol drama and wholesome show that’s as good as if not a better relationship than Nasa and Tsukasa 

Both wholesome romance animes 

~both are wholesome romance animes . ~shy male protagonists.. ~a lot of drama and comedy. 

Tonikawa shares a similar desire to build up a couple's affinity between one another rather than go too much into the weeds of establishing a relationship between the two main characters. Both couples have their shares of happy moments and those that strain a relationship, though arguably Tonikawa has more light-hearted moments than Tsuki ga Kirei. Tonikawa in general has more security in the couple's love for one another, which allows for Tonikawa to explore more into the boundaries of how to express love in different and entertaining ways. Both are enjoyable watches nonetheless. 

The format of this anime is similar to after credits short in Tsuki ga Kirei . If you like that kind of comedy / sweetness . This is for you 

Similar to those very entertaining shorts at the end of an episode. It also features many more couples! 

If Tsurezure Children would focus only on one couple, it would propably look like Tsuki ga Kirei. Both of the shows are very heartwarming, have a similiar style of romance and great cast of characters. Both of them also have a unique artstyle in a sort of way, though I liked the art of Tsurezure Children way more.  

Both are simple portrayals of young love. If you like one, you'll probably like the other. 

Both are romance type and show love stories, some of the couple are both introverts (exemple of Chizuru Takano and Takurou Sugawara) and both have pretty art style ! If you have watched Tsurezure Children and was wondering what can be their relationship with more screen time, I can only recommanded you to watch Tsuki Ga Kirei ! 

These shows has pretty similar art styles and are grade school dramas that are about self-discovery. The biggest difference is that Hourou Musuko is more about gender identity while Tsuki ga Kirei is all about romance built from the ground up. 

The art styles featured in both works are similar and the storylines are small gems. Neither show is flashy but their presentations include realistic sexual and romantic problems that are touched on and adequately handled.  

Both series have that shy ambientantion, with characters that doesnt show themselves that much, and making you wonder what are they thinking about and how they feel. A show to relax and enjoy a cute history very well told without cliches and fanservice.  

Both series have similar art style/atmosphere and revolve around middle school students dealing with social issues and their struggle growing up.  

If you are looking for anime romance, the conflicts are not too heavy, which can make you peaceful, and happy ending, I suggest you watch Tsuki ga Kirei their love is very, very beautiful 

Both stories are very chill, romance slice of life stories. They feel very natural, in conversation and in charachters. They both have very nice pacing and a wholesome feel that makes you want to see more of the charachters. Horimiya is a bit more mature with more comedy, but both stories are simple but executed very well. 

Both of these anime deal with a high school setting where the two main characters fall in love and see their relationship build. Normally romance anime that is all in a high school setting is full of tropes and not really realistic in life. Tsuki ga Kirei more than Horimiya is far more realistic in high school romance that I was so happy when the show ended. I felt as if someone was hugging my heart, every time some progress happened in the relationship. These are very heartwarming and pretty anime to watch.  

-Beautiful artstyle -Slice of life school setting (Tsuki ga Kirei is focused on junior high, Isshuukan is more on high school) -Same 'implied' romantic plot -Both have an equal amount of comedy and drama 

Same fluffy feeling and both have awkward romance.  

So many twist and turns in both anime that will just drag your heart along for the ride. Lots of uncertainty of what is to come of the future, but no matter what happens, the bond between the two lovers will always last.  

These two have a similar vibe: similar characters, beautiful animation and romance as the main topic. Tsuki ga kirei could easily have been a movie like "your name", because of its structure. I'd pick kimi no na wa over this series in general terms. 

A very similar vibe to Your Name. A sweet story which focuses on character interactions, and the climax does feel VERY similar. 

If you are looking for anime romance, the conflicts are not too heavy, which can make you peaceful, and happy ending, I suggest you watch Tsuki ga Kirei their love is very, very beautiful 

They are not really similar in their execution, but both animes depict well the importance of relationships, and how you shouldn't f*ck up when loving someone, also, I think both are very realistic, sure, School days has its harem, but I guess that what Makoto did, was what almost every horny teenager out of his mind would do if he had all those chicks at his hand. Tsuki ga kirei depicts a nice light hearted portray of healthy school romance, with its problems and loveable learning, so both animes show how real life people feelings work like, and there's where I find the big similarity. 

If Tsuki ga Kirei is everything going well, School Days is everything going badly. School Days is simply the tragedy version of Tsuki ga Kirei. 

Real relationships. Two anime that are on different sides of the same coin in this genre would have to be Tsukigakirei and School Days. Both show quite a real relationship but are pretty much perpendicular to each other in how they go around this. Tsukigakirei does this with a junior high relationship, only deciphering what to do with new experience around every corner. School Days does this with a high school relationship that finds itself going wrong. Both are believable, though School Days is on the extreme end of things using believable aspects, Tsukigakirei is just very interesting and wholesome. Both are great romance anime I would recommend to those looking for something actually realistic in the genre.  read more 

Both shows have a school romance setting. While Toradora deals with love between multiple people in high school, Tsuki ga Kirei deals with young middle school love between two awkward teens. It shows how difficult love can be for people new to it, just like the whole deal with Ryuugi and Taiga. 

Both animes are focused on Romance mainly but Toradora has more comedy factor and Taiga does act more tsundere-like, endings to both animes are great. Watch if you just want to watch another romance in a typical school. 

A wonderful middle school romance anime that will make you feel emotions if you love shows like Toradora. 

The two shows are both originals that take place in a middle school setting. The art styles are very similar in aesthetic and mood, done by feel. and 8bit respectively. One is a romance while the other is a sports drama, however, they both have a pretty laidback narrative. 

unlike tsuki ga kirei, hoshiai no sora, or stars align, doesn't have any romance aspects. however, both animes have a middle school setting, where they learn more about themselves throughout each series (i can't really word it well but you get the point). also, both do have a sports aspect- tsuki ga kirei mentions track while stars align revolves around a tennis team 

Both are highschool love stories. The atmosphere is pretty much the same, even though Orange incorporates some sci-fi elements and Tsuki ga Kirei is more based on reality. They are both grounded, down to earth and realistic love stories. 

Orange and Tsuki ha Kirei are both really great School/SliceOfLife/Romance anime, that really stand out in the genre. In both series' the cast of characters is just perfect, since you can't hate on anyone on, because they all have their own, believeable goals in mind. If you liked Orange (or Tsuki ga Kirei) you will fall in love with the other one for sure! 

Both shows have a male and female MC who are inexperienced in love who eventually fall for each despite their differences. Both shows also have a very sweet/innocent tone to them, and they both have a romance which develops very early in the show. 

If you're looking for a cute, well-crafted and non-scrolling anime novel, Tsuga Kirei and Ore Monogatare are what you're looking for as well as being fun. 

Learning experience. Sometimes the time at school can bring around the most lessons to one without them knowing. ReLife and Tsukigakirei do precisely that with this path of showing a learning experience for all characters within the story, revolving around school activities such as relationships and friendships. ReLife following neet Kaizaki take the ReLife experiment in which allows him to regain the things he had one lost at a period of high school, as well as this, the quiet Hishiro he spends time with also learns about social interactions for the sake of her improvement. Tsukigakirei focuses on the junior high relationship of Akane and Kotarou, following the different hardships and flusters that come along with them. Both are good romance anime with ReLife being about a supernatural comedy to add onto, Tsukigakirei being dramatic.  read more 

both are romances that take place at school, also have a slower pace and less noisy than romantic/romcom animes in general 

Both are really cute Romance Shows that are very unknown  

Tsuki ga Kirei and Hakubo have a lot in common, including: -Both are mostly drama-free highschool romances -The character designs in both are pretty similar -They both involve a girl with a specific hobby (running/violin) and a boy with a different interest (literature/painting) -The ending is kind of similar in both If you're a fan of more realistic type romances involving high school students then these are two anime you might want to check out. Personally I though Tsuki ga Kirei was better.  

Although Tsuki ga Kirei and Golden Time are far apart on the basis of which they set similar stories relative to time. Both have some strong realism. Obviously, Golden Time is a little more annoying and sometimes very unaware of its own stupidity, but ignoring the means which it uses to create a story, the relationships here are actually pretty damn good, close to reality maybe (based on what I know). The usual ups and downs, the usual rivals, the usual "stuff don't always go the way that was expected" (key point here), the very honest dialogues. The list goes on. Would recommend both if you watch some slightly divergent romance in a way that takes a more honest route than something of a tropey story.  read more 

Merely a love story, not a lot else to top it with, but one that services well enough for it to be something of a simple delight. They are just about people, people going to school and experiencing the bliss of love and the fountain of youth. I suppose both are more true with Tsukigakirei as it is based on literally both ideas, though TadaKoi is more experiencing the youthful side of life, as what is offered of its content is school kids knowing nothing but fun, the whole lot, with memories to spare and life to fulfil. Take what you will with both. A junior high love story between two trying to understand the whole game in the first place, or high school stories about a whole band of teens and the love that blossoms in between them.  read more 

this is a slice of life romance, which follows an unlikely pairing as we see whether their relationship blossoms.  

Well, if you want a brief summary of Tsuki ga Kirei then watch the first 4 episodes of Seiren. Other 8 episodes are kind of going into a different path so I am not highly recommended. 

These two romance/drama anime and movie have deepful meanings and is very touching/emotional. I recommend this anime to those who like calm and touching anime with deepful meanings. 

A soothing touch. AdaShima and Tsukigakirei are all too similar with a very slow atmosphere, taking its time as a positive youthful relationship should do. AdaShima does this with the complicated relationship between Adachi and Shimamura, Tsukigakirei does this with the couple of Akane and Kotarou. Both are great s.o.l anime about the beautiful young relationships people have. 

Both of these anime raise the premise of a high school romantic story with an impressive conflict 

Both of them are best-in-class middle school romances with realistic character interactions. There are no other shows that compare to these two in the genre. 

Word's Bubble Up Like Soda Pop and Tsuki ga Kirei have a bit in common and give off the same vibe -I won't say it's similar, but the artstyle in both is unique in the same way, especially how the outlines and linework is done -both are romances were the couple first meet in an awkward situation -the protagonist in both rely on cellphones to communicate with each other -while the male protagonist (Cherry/Azumi) is an only child who likes literature, the female protagonist (Smile/Akane) has sister(s) who give them advice -the female protagonist's family's decision to move is what triggers the climax in both anime The two anime definitely have their differences, but they both give off a similar wholesome feeling.  read more 

Similarities: Both Male MCs are shy but still has the courage to confess their love to the girl they like The experience of first love High school setting Teenagers Sweet and sours of love and the unforgettable youth 

If you like sweet romance stories with a bit of drama, you will like botb of those shows. Both are quite slow paced but satisfying. Both main characters have different talents and dreams for the future, so the shows are not all about romance 24/7, but the characters feel realistic and not just existing for the sole purpose of falling in love. I hope this recommendation helps and you'll check one out if you like the other. 

Both are beautiful tales of the feelings of love that we develop for someone at a young age and when the feelings are mutual it is about learning to deal with all the changes that occur in our lives alongside trying to understand each other more and wanting to know them better and to stay with them and be there for them. Both are slow paced, simple but soulful stories of love.
