Well, its from the same mangaka. So,expect the same humour, similar art and characters but the settings and plot is different.

Both are about meeting a boy that the main girl doesn't like at first but, of course, falls in love with.

The relationship dynamic between the protagonists in Lovely Complex and Venus in Love are pretty similar. They're both rather goofy birds of a feather that for various reasons aren't interested in each other at first. The two series are also of a similar type of romantic comedy manga, where the comedy is mostly in seeing the protagonists goof around.

Both stories are lighthearted romantic comedies. Both main characters are strong-minded females who eventually get involved in a love triangle due to the strong and close ties with friends. Hana Kimi takes place during high school while Venus in Love takes place during college. If you liked one, you'll like the other.

"Venus wa kataomoi" and "Good Morning Call" both tell us "warm-enough-but-never-too-cheesy" stories about the budding love and coming-of-age of a clumsy but kind-hearted heroine and her (first ignorant or clueless) "next-door" neighbour. Both works are light-hearted, easy and fun to read – with lots and lost of humour! Here are some of the features the two have in common: being long-running series, they both introduce multiple characters (including some hilarious supporting roles) and storylines (meaning that most of the supporting figures get their own side-stories where they can, finally, act as heroes and heroines, be them comical or tragic); school setting (with all its shoujo manga-ish  read more

Both stories revolve around a reluctant romance that blossoms slowly over time. The heroines are almost identical; both have a food fetish, are clumsy and cute. There are some parallels between the male leads as well, both are attractive. If you like one, I think you'd enjoy the other.

Both have twists and surprises. If you liked Atashi wa Bambi then you'll definately like Love for Venus. The story is pretty much the same.

Both "Venus wa kataomoi" and "W-Juliet" are long-running romantic shoujo series, with multiple supporting charachters and subplots, encapsulating a longer (educational) period of their heroes and heroeines' lives. They are centered around the coming-of-age of a young heroine with a clumsy but very much loving nature -- and the parallel and consequent maturing of her boyfriend and that of their love. If You like one, You will love the other, for sure! :)
