Hirunaka no Ryuusei

Ao Haru Ride addpermalink

Both are high school romances where the main protagonist is stuck in a love triangle between one guy who she loves but can't quite have and another guy who she doesn't notice until he confesses, and both love interests are so damn likable that you can't help but root for both of them. If you seek the guilty pleasure of shoujo rom-com cliches, Hirunaka no Ryuusei and Ao Haru Ride are chock-full of adorable moments that will make your heart squeal.

Both are really cute in the sense that the girl is stuck in a love triangle and is constantly getting confused about her own feelings > <
It starts off with the girl liking one of the guys but got "rejected" due to certain circumstances but the guy regrets his choice soon after > <
However, by then the other guy already confess and both of them started going out > <
The really enjoyable part is that you'll really not know who to root for because both guys are really cute! >w< ♡

If you're looking for some lighthearted romance, Hirunaka no Ryuusei and Ao Haru Ride should definitely be a consideration. Both series involves the awkward meeting of the main girl and guy. Their relationship stands out as awkward as neither are similar. But throughout the course of the series, they begin to know and understand each other. While Ao Haru Ride lacks the subtext of teacher/student relationships, there is a character in that series who has a crush on their teacher. Both series also focuses a bit on the circumstances at school whether it'd be thinking about the future, forming relationships, and tackling against difficult obstacles. Recommended for fans of romantic comedy with a charming story. read more

"It's almost as if Murao got her own spin off in Hirunaka no Ryuusei." Pretty much this. Suzume's design and personality are very similar to Murao and so is Shishio to Tanaka-sensei. 

Both manga are love triangles set in a high school setting. Both protagonists are beautiful and unique and are very different from the normal shoujo female lead. They learn how to love and grow as characters while making friends and experiencing heartbreak. 

reportRecommended by Mayuka

Both Ao Haru Ride and Hirunaka no Ryuusei have a very similar plot in which the main character is involved in a love triangle. At first, there is mutual feelings between the main girl and the current main guy she is with, but due to circumstances, the main guy had to leave her which leaves the main girl heartbroken and in confusion. Along the way, she would encounter new relationships whether its friendship, rivalry, or love. After spending time together with the second main guy, he would confess to the main girl leaving her with feelings of uncertainty. Throughout the series, it would leave the readers unable to decide who to root for to be with the main girl due to both of the guys having their own good points. read more

If you are one of those people who love a love-triangle type of romance story, then these two are perfect for you. Both main characters in these manga are stock with two guys (the one guy she truly loves but she can’t be with him and the other guy who is always there for her and patiently waiting that in soon time, will also be loved by her like the first).

Both manga also have the student-teacher relationship though it is not the focus in Ao Haru Ride unlike in Hirunaka no Ryuusei.

But one thing is for sure, both of these are enjoyable to read and you will find yourself wondering as to whom the girl will end up to. (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ read more

Aoharaido and Hirunaka no ryuusei are similar because in both mangas we see some cliches of manga shoujo but is still a very good manga. In both mangas we see comedy, drama and romance, also we see cute characters. Altough i think that in HnR have more comedy and a more charismatic main female character. I like so much both mangas, also the drawing in both mangas is so nice. Very recommended!

It's almost as if murao got her own spin off in Hirunaka no Ryuusei. She likes her teacher but another classmate likes her. Except aya kominato and mamura are pretty different from each other

If you like high school romance stories then you should try reading this.

It's a story about a country girl who moved to Tokyo and fell in love with her teacher. However, due to some interesting twist of events, she became the love interest of the first friend she ever made in school.

It clearly depicts the idea of true friendship and love as the characters try to evaluate themselves and the situation they're in. And in the process, it also shows how love heals and mends a broken heart, as well as moving on. 

reportRecommended by akirajasmine

As with similar school elements and conventional romance tactics applied in shoujo, Daytime Shooting Star and Aoharaido both give their best in pulling heartstrings with certain chapters. Both manage to make it to a great climax somewhere within the middle, but have ended up falling short, unable to surpass its highest points in the later chapters.

This is more of a warning that when you start reading either of this manga, you will not get as much as a satisfying ending after experiencing the greatest moments in both. If you are willing to read it still, then have at it. It's still worth reading for your time. read more

Tonari no Atashi addpermalink

These manga share some similarities:
- The typical love triangle where the heroine is in love with the "1st guy" and later meets "2nd guy" (aka underdog) which is her classmate.
- The hero is dark haired and is someone close to her (neighbour/teacher) and the underdog has blonde hair and has a tendency to blush a lot around the heroine. 
- Both leading boys are very likeable to the point you just want them to end in a happy threesome. 
- The main reason why these two manga are so alike is because near the end some situations between the characters are very similar.
Personally (unlike the majority of fans) I prefer TNA to HNR because I can relate more to the characters, but both are good reads and if you are a shoujo lover you don´t wanna miss these! read more

Both series are known for their slice of life elements and slow pace in storytelling. Despite this, they also have a colorful cast of characters and romance that develops subtly over the course of the story. Both series also adapts relationships of different nature that are explored. And with these relationships, we can see a good amount of characterization focused on the main protagonists. Recommended for fans of lighthearted drama.

Both are considered classic shoujo with love triangles and relationships. Throughout both series, the main female protagonist learns what it's like to develop a relationship with others. Through trial and error, they learn about the essence of love. There is growth in both series as the main female protagonist develops and becomes more confident in herself and around others. I recommend both series for anyone interested for a bite of innocent shoujo.

Both are centered around the main girl that falls in love with her teacher and she is trapped in a love triangle. While HnR is softer and comedic, Dramatic Irony takes the story a bit more serious, with many sad scenes. The art-style is beautiful in both manga.
Shishio is similar with Natsuo, but Chihiro's personality is parallel with Mamura's.

Throughout the series, they build connections with others and love blooms between certain characters. Recommended for fans interested in lighthearted shoujo.

Two guys after one girl (for the most part)! Both guys in both stories have contrasting personalities - good foils of each other! Also, there was a small collaboration between the two briefly. Both of these manga kind of have the same feel to them. Both stories bring the same kind of tugging at your heart to make you feel like the female lead herself and what her struggles are within the story and in her love(s?). And both have easy on the eyes art. Pretty boys and pretty girls.

If you were on Team Sensei for Daytime Shooting Star (Hirunaka), you'll definitely enjoy Coffee & Vanilla if you don't mind the vanilla smut. Coffee & Vanilla is a romance between an inexperienced college student and a young-looking, hot business man. Daytime Shooting Star does explore a romance between a high school student and teacher. The male leads are also very sexy and look very similar to each other.

Both of these mangas involve love triangles where it would make you swoon for all of the main guy characters, giving you heartaches because you just find it incredibly difficult to choose who is better or who should end up with the main female protagonist of the story. Both of these story lines are also very interestingly fluffy and cute and I HIGHLY recommend it for those who are into these types of story.

Both mangas exhibit some similarities, as the two main characters are both ugly ducklings who, with a little bit of makeup, can turn into a swan. With the makeup on, she is able to attract an older guy and is able to form a relationship with him (in Hirunaka, it is ambiguous whether or not they had one in the first place). There is also another male that's is in love with her, but due to her "dating" the other guy, it is hard for that guy to get her. Along the way, something causes their relationship to crumble, due to the actions of one. Kuragehime is ongoing, whereas Hirunaka is completed. Kuragehime is also a josei manga, whereas Hirunaka is a shoujo.
