Mahoutsukai no Yome addpermalink

Worlds of fantasy and magic residing adjacent and together with the human world, sorcerers, mages, shapeshifters, fairies, witches - if any of these catch your fancy give Mahou Tsukai no Yome a try.   If you are a fan of Ran to Haiiro no Sekai I think you will enjoy this.    If you enjoy fantasy worlds try these as they are interesting takes on the genre but have the mc learning to do magic.  Both of these mangas feature young female leads in a male demongraphic,  are ongoing and have great art.

Oyasumi Punpun addpermalink

Both are a coming of age story, but they are portrayed differently and in different POV's. Ran is more light hearted and focused around a girl while PunPun is much more darker and focused around a boy

Dorohedoro addpermalink

Ran to Haiiro no Sekai is not a blurred mystery but a light-hearted slice of life. It is not violent, dark or dramatic like Dorohedoro. The artstyle too is different, not gritty but clean and bright into a classical Josei fashion.
But both have a very bizarre and imaginative display of the magic, unique story telling and witty humour. Both share a pluri dimensional world built with original details and an overall flavour of a dream blended with modernism.

Houseki no Kuni addpermalink

Manga where beauty and plot complement each others creating a marvelous heartwarming slice of life in a fantasy word. The aspect of fantasy may differ however  the enjoyment caused by a simple plot that turn out to be quite complicated as the chapters goes is the same.

Majo no Shinzou addpermalink

Both storylines presents to the reader an opportunity to follow the dailylife of an witch, presenting marvellous magical scenes. In both cases, the story is developed slowly but in a heratwarming way as the protagonist slowly grows as she makes new friends. 

In both mangas, we see a psychological development, as the protegonist interact with their reality. As the age os the witches differ between the stories ( ran to hairo the story is about a young witch, and in Majo it's about a old witch the) the major difference, between these manga is in the protagonist development. While in ran to hairoo, the protagonist learn how to better control her powers as she matures in Majo the protagonist already has control of her magical skills, however lacks in interpesonal connections, making it the mains development in its plot.

If you are really looking for slice of life fantasy essence reading these are a must! read more

As it is the same author the calm relaxing yet charismatic atmosphere is the same. The only diference is that gunjou is a one shot genre and focus a little bit more on slice of life.

Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha. addpermalink

- Young Female lead with powers they take for granted
- Female leads have crushes
- Both have older brothers who have a romantic subplot that's much fluffier and cuter
- Magic/Supernatural

Emma addpermalink

Story-wise these two are miles apart because one was played in a Victorian era and other one is a fantasy. But what makes them both similar is
1) Their gorgeous art style. But it is not the only thing similar between these mangas.
2) Both have a similar way of storytelling. Like while telling the story, sometimes they gave a pause to sympathize with the character, a pause to see the surrounding from a readers perspective, sometimes only a picture tells the story. Both mangakas did a masterful job in that

Kikimimi Zukan addpermalink

Ran to Haiiro no Sekai and Kikimimi Zukan are very similar because of art and the whimsical feel to it. They are both slice of lifes, though Ran has more story development because Kikimimi is just a bunch of oneshots. It is amazing though how similar the art is. If you like one, you will definitely like the other.

Ran to haiiro and mushishi are one of a kind of manga.Even tought the plot and locations are different, both bring out the marvelous slice of life fantasy essence that we crave for. If, you are like me, a manga lover that apreciates heartwarming stories while apreciating scenario with all of the magic surrounding it, both of these manga are a must try.

Zettai Karen Children addpermalink

Though one is science-fiction and the other is firmly supernatural/fantasy, both have a similar main protagonist: a young girl with power too immense to be controlled, a beautiful heart, and a busty future self. Both series have great art, a powerful story, lots of humor, and what one might call a tragic romance with an older man. Both are highly recommended.

Japanese mythology abounds in these two manga full of Tengu, Sorcerers and Kitsune and a girl's heart big enough to love them all. Two great manga with incredible art a healing romance and magic everywhere.

xxxHOLiC addpermalink

The supernatural world is just next door in these two beautiful fantasy manga.  If you like one, you'll surely like the other, though Ran to Haiiro no Sekai is the superior in terms of a comprehensible plot and emotional impact.

Hime to Mahoutsukai addpermalink

The fluffy art and the overall feeling is simmilar. But while Hime to Mahoutsukai is a shoujo ai oneshot about a witch and a princess, Ran to haiiro no sekai is a longer story about a young witch growing up.

Somali to Mori no Kamisama addpermalink

Both series feature beautiful detailed art styles and are about young girls growing up in a magical setting. Themes of family are also prevalent in both series.

Full Moon wo Sagashite addpermalink

Both involve a young, naive, and headstrong girl who is able to transform into an older and more beautiful version of herself with certain limitations. Because the girl is so naive she gets into trouble when she is her older self and sometimes has to be saved by her male love interest. There are also much more dark and complicated side plots going on at the same time that involve supernatural beings.

Cardcaptor Sakura addpermalink

Both series have magical girl elements and involve a little girl with an overprotective older brother. The girl is naive but kind and a tsundere boy in the same class falls in love with her but has trouble expressing it. The boy also is in on the girl's magical secret and helps her out when she gets in trouble. There's also a larger ongoing plot that gets more complicated as the series goes on.

Kekkaishi addpermalink

If you enjoyed the mixture of political intrigue, fantasy, and family that characterized the later portion of Kekkaishi definitely check out Ran to Haiiro no Sekai. Ran starts out very whimsical but eventually gains a more serious air reminiscent of the Urakai focused parts of Kekkaishi.

Yamamoto Zenjirou to Moushimasu addpermalink

A little girl has supernatural powers, and the nature of those powers and what is going on around her is both shrouded in mystery and told through the lens of a child. In RTHNS she is a young sorceress who can do magic, while in YZTM she has the ability to see and talk to ghosts. There is also a semi-romance between the main character and a tsundere boy who teases her as well as themes of friendship.

Hime-chan no Ribbon addpermalink

A little girl gets into some magical shenanigans involving body transformations and growing older for short periods of time when in possession of a certain article of clothing (a ribbon and sneakers). The girl is somewhat of a tomboy in both series, and often gets into trouble while transformed. She also has a male friend who is her age and has to bail her out most of the time. Hime-Chan no Ribbon is a typical shoujo manga while Ran to Haiiro no Sekai is a seinen, but both have aspects of pure love between children, friendship, and family.

Urusei Yatsura addpermalink

Both titles have an extremely similar feel. One girl is a witch and the other is an alien and the both of them can fly. Romance is a central theme in both.
