These two mangas are similar in the fact that there are older guys who take care of a younger girl.

In both manga, the atmosphere is lighthearted and gives a similar feeling. It details the life of a main male protagonist and a young girl that certainly came into his life. They began living together and has a strange relationship. At many instances, there is inklings of romantic moments as well some other tense scenes. It still retains its lighthearted genre with the drama, comedy, and obstacles they deal with in every day life. In fact, it follows a slice of life style of expressing its story. Both series also has natural artwork.

An older man takes care of a little girl (a little mature for her age) who developes feelings for him. Both shoujo/josei, a slice of life with some mystery or drama Manga. Kore wa Koi no Hanashi is more romantic, Meiji Hiiro Kitan may have more development but not all chapters have been translated yet

Both mangas portray a near-forbidden romance between an old guy and a young girl. But that's not all: both guys happen to be writers, both girls fall in love first and in both case there is an editor quite interested in how this romance could bloom.

Although Yumemiru Taiyou is far less dramatic and Kore wa Koi no Hanashi on the other hand doesn't offer much comedy, despite being quite different these two stories share common themes of family, friendship, and love. They also share the feeling of hope they create and leave afterwards.

age gap between love interest  
reportRecommended by gbowjixsen
Both are romances with a significant age gap. Both heriones fall in love with understandably reluctant older men.

Relationship with age difference isn't seen with good eyes by society. It becomes more complicated, when their partner age is the same as their parents. Here we have two mangas with this relationship. In pudding the partners age difference is significant, however they meet as adults, also as it's a short manga the age difference relationship approach is taken in a more easy going approach. Kore wa koi no hanashi, has more chapter when compared, and the couple first meeting start while one is a child, leading to a age difference relationship being addressed in more depth. Even with this complicated topic, kore wa knowns  read more

These two stories have very little in common. Dangan Honey is light and fluffy one volume manga while Kore wa Koi no Hanashi has a somewhat melodramatic lengthy life story. But, they do both have a very wide age gap between an older male and a younger female. What makes them resemble even more, in my opinion, is the utter loyalty the MC's have for each other. Even if they don't exactly show it (looking at the males here.) Which is probably a good thing since the female leads are grade school students at the beginning of both manga.

Both series has a variety of classic shoujo tropes including the interconnecting relationships of the two main characters. The main female protagonist has a gentle heart while we see how their lives unfold after meeting an older guy. Both series' romance has a slow progress but there is strong connection that is developed as each chapter unfolds. There is also a certain degree of realism as both series' main male protagonist holds professional occupations.

Both have an older guy helping to raise a little girl. Possible hints of future romance. Great art and pacing.  
reportRecommended by Orulyon
A lighthearted story with relationship building. If you're interested in some shoujo romance and a charming story, then perhaps both these series can be appealing to you. This also extends to realistic characterization as well as clever comedy used throughout their story. Both series also has a female protagonist who has similar personalities who experiences youth as they connect with others.

Both are about an antisocial Writer who ends up meeting a little girl who is somehow traumatized with some parents issue and she is always expressionless and doesn't smile. Eventually she starts taking care of his garden and spends all her time with him, making him become a more considerate guy. Also the guy has a best friend which is his editor, and in both mangas, the writer starts writing a romance novel based on the little girl.

The main character's love interest in both mangas has an age gap. Though, Dengeki Daisy's age gap is 8 years while Kore wa koi no hanashi is 21 years. The men in both manga's watch over the main character and care about them deeply.
