Both manga are gentle romcoms about a lovey-dovey couple that likes to drink together at the end of the work day. Tonari wa is a sequel to an earlier love story about cooking and often includes otsumami (drinking snack) recipes along with the drinks. 

Both manga contain a very wholesome/cute relationship, used as a means to push the main plot, of cooking various foods. They both also give more detailed explanations/instructions on cooking them right  

If you are looking for manga about working adults in a strong and stable relationship, going about their life of cohabitation, flirting and overall enjoying their daily life, you've come to the right place. Both couples have been together since before the start of the manga and their relationships are cute and fluffy yet pretty realistic. Other than than the main couples, both manga have a supporting cast of the protagonists' friends and families, who have their own relationships and lives. The major differences are that Tonari has a considerable focus on cooking and food (mostly drinking snacks) while Futari has a bit more drama and a largely unimportant age gap. read more 

Adult, working protaginsts in a stable relationship and cohabitation are aplenty in both of these manga, topped with sweet, sweet romance. As the stories develop, the relationships between both couples progress as they wade through life, experiencing ups and downs. Both manga are also told from the girl's perspective, and they both have prequels detailing how the couples got together. However, Tonari is much more sweet, showing all the best parts of a couple in love (within ~PG-13, of course) and has a considerable focus on food and cooking, while Life So Happy has another set of protaginsts, the twins from the prequel, now in elementary school, who have their own story, largely separate from the couple. read more 

Both series are about otsumami and consuming alcohol, while beginning working life. Tonari is more of a sweet romcom while Takunomi is a single girl in the city coming of age story but both are heavily focused on the gourmet angle. 

A smooth, wholesome romance between two adults with jobs is something both these manga provide. The relationships reflect the age of the protagonists (20s) and are handled well. Ase to Sekken is more explicit, with a focus on ML's smell fetish and FL's excessive sweating, but that ultimately adds to the sweetness of their relationship, just as the food does in Tonari.
