Both female leads are forced to dress up as males and enter the world of showbiz.

In never give up the female lead is cross- dressing as a model to stay close to her lover. thus creating some situations that make them appear homosexual. In Tenshi Ja Nai the male lead is cross dressing for other reasons but keeps the act up as an excuse to keep his lover close. This also creates a lot of situations where they appear homosexual.

Both involve joining show business and childhood promises of being together in the future. Also, the leads are trying to become stronger/better for the one who they promised. Both are funny and very cute!

Both manga have a tomboyis girl and a girly boy with a strong friendship that develops even more over time. Never give up is the longer one of the two. Both are really good and I recommend you read them both!!!

Both in school setting. Both heronines are moonlighting as guys. They both very handsome in male outfits. Similiar family background/ parental roles. Both shoujo where there are guys who like them regardless of how they look like on the outside.

Both are mangas about the modeling world, with the main character striving to be a star. There are always obstacles in their path both romantically and career wise, while gender bending provides some laughs and goodhearted moments.

Same gender-blending genre of romance. Both female leads tries to be femine for the femine male love targets 
reportRecommended by sabgian
Gender-blending story involving both leads looking more like the other gender. handsome looking females who tries to be more femine for their femine looking male love interests

I find this two manga and manwha similar because the girl main character are similer to one another. They both looks like handsome ''guy's'' and because of there looks people misunderstand them, to put more problem to there life they both has the hot for there friend. Who is beautiful (''Princess'') guy. I think if you like one you'll like the other to..

These two are REALLY alike o_O Mainly because well... the girl character looks like a guy -_-" And the guy character is shorter than the girl and he looks really.. well pretty for a guy =D They are both hilarious!!! The only thing is that Never Give Up! deals with modeling and Pheromomania Syndrome is just a basic kind of everyday [not really >.>] typical (yeah right @_@) life based manga ^_^

Both mangas are gender benders that focus on a relationship between a girl who has been mistaken for a boy and her hot co-worker in the idol/model industry. I personally find Teppen! the more enjoyable of the two.
