In Runway, our protagonist Ikuto is aiming to become a fashion designer. In Sono Bisque, our protagonist Gojou wants to pursue his passion for creating Japanese-styled dolls. In both scenarios, our protagonist have issues interfering with their goals, but by meeting someone, that pushed them into further reaching their dreams.  

Both Series are based on a protagonist trying to make their way in an artistic field. 

Kinda surprised that no one said this yet. Runway de Waratte is a story centered around the world of Fashion and shows the workings in the fashion world. The story focuses on 2 main characters, Chiyuki who dreams to be a model and take part in the Paris Fashion week someday, and Ikuto who wants to design clothes. Overall it is a quite an enjoyable manga which you will probably like if you enjoyed Oshi no Ko. 

Both mangas are about young adults with high aspirations who aim to become the best in their niche. While their goals are very different, the story progresses pretty much the same way. They also are detailed and contain many insights. There are elements of romance in both mangas. 

Both focus on the world of fashion design. The designer in both is completely untrained but manages to understand genius bits of design. The model in both is what gets the designer to pursue fashion seriously, and both models are very strong-willed as people the designers view as beautiful. 

Both are stories revolving around fashion design and how hard one must work just to attain a tiny fraction of success in the world of fashion. Both have a strong-willed female character protagonist, and an aspiring designer male protagonist.  

Both stories revolve around high school students pursuing their dreams in the beauty and fashion industry. Aya (Bless) aspires to be a makeup artist, while Ikuto (Runway de Waratte) has a passion for clothing design.
