Fate connects two main characters unexpectedly in both series. Bonnouji and Horimiya may seem like your average slice of life series but has some creative ways around it when it comes to storytelling. The main male protagonist has similar personalities as well as being the typical Average Joe. His encounter with the main female protagonist highlights many experiences in both series. And as given comedy goes, both series retains a lighthearted tone with clever timing with its humorous moments. Recommended for fans of slice of life with realism. 

For the same reasons that "xDegausser" lists. Funny light hearted romance about a strange couple.  

Both are short and cutely drawn slice-of-life manga, in which friendship blooms into romance and the main couple is really awkward and sweet. 

Short romance stories with very little drama. Also the main characters are pretty similar design wise and personality wise.  

Laidback romance. The couples live close to each other in the same apartment building. The female leads are curious about the male leads and their hobbies and come over frequently to spend time together. Male leads are a bit awkward and shy and the female leads are forward. 

Cute, non-dramatic, reasonably short stories about couples who practically live together coming to love each other. Bonnouji is the grown-up version of the story; Sengakagurashi is the high school version. 

Same mangaka, same sense of humor, same art style. The first story of Itou-san even has a similar plot: young woman dumped by long-time boyfriend, starts going out with nice guy (co-worker in Itou-san; neighbor in Bonnouji) who is head-over-heels for her. 

Young adult otaku who have their first relationship with beautiful older women. 

Similar silly sense of humor in both, and both eventually find a surprisingly sweet romantic side. 

Soothing, lighthearted seinen comedies. The premise of both is that a group of friends gets together and does various activities in a room. The dialogues and artstyle are similar too. The difference is that Bonnouji is a romance, while Hatarakanai Futari is not. 

Slow paced and down to earth romance with likeable characters. Both couples features a older woman and wishy-washy man. 

Both are the same type of fluffy romance you would read casually. If you enjoyed this manga, you will enjoy Bonnouji too. 

Though there is a difference in the marital status between each of these stories' protagonists, the overall vibe is the same, with both being very relaxed following of the romance between more grown-up characters, along with some nice supporting characters to add to the mix. 

although bonnouji isn't food related and the couple is not together at the start, both manga involve relaxing and laidback stories of a couple who thoroughly enjoy their time together 

Adults. Falling in love. Keeping it real. Both mangas has a nice good feel to it. 

Same, Mangaka, so similar art. Wizards's soul's got more action, whereas Bonnouji is a slice of life. Both are great love stories and relaxing to read.  

Two slice of life series with a focus on romance. Bonnouji is about a man living in an apartment filled with stuff from his brother. Story of Someone We Know is a series about three Korean women who are friends -- one's been with her boyfriend for years, the second's been with hers for a shorter time and the third is single.  

Similar slice of life type comedy mangas about young working people living together, they are both cute and funny and light-hearted.  

These two serialisations feature a romantic relationship between the protagonists that is simple in exuction and light-hearted in tone. 

Both revolve around the developing romantic relationship between the two leads. 

Both these romance narratives are mostly light-hearted in nature and is characterised by a mature, but innocently cute aesthetic. 

In both, a romance develops between pairs of mature and realistic characters. 

Both stories are slow paced, with likable characters who have warm and fuzzy interactions that will make you smile. 

Very similar art, both are 4-Koma, romantic-comedies with older female/younger male. I absolutely loved Bonnouji and felt that Kawaii Joushi wo Komarasetai gave off similarly good/fresh vibes. I wish Bonnouji was longer and I wouldn't have minded more ecchi/sex related scenes/chapters, but overall, I felt much more satisfied with the couple growth and how the characters interacted when it finished, than I usually feel with most romantic comedies. Although Kawaii Joushi is ongoing, I feel like it could be as enjoyable as Bonnouji if the romance becomes more developed and there is couple growth. I love it when characters get together early in the story, but hate it when there's practically no couple growth. So hoping Kawaii does well.  read more 

In both of these romance serialisations, the characters, context, and the relationship development are all handled in a very simple and light-hearted manner. 

Demographics and premises in both mangas are kind of different but the way the story between the main characters is developed is actually very similar. Main girl and boy are neighbors and under certain circumstances they start a friendship which slowly turns into a romance. This point of the story is very well managed by these two series. Kyou no Kira-kun and Bonnouji manage to capture your attention from the very first chapter. Bonnouji's characters are simpler and more grown up than Kyou no Kira-kun's, and the latter has more drama and a heartbreaking fact of one of the characters going on. Warm fuzzy feeling, cute art and realistic aspects are a plus. read more 

Two characters who live in the same building fall in love. They are lighthearted romances with a lot of comedy. 

We follow the path two people takes while they get closer to each other. Each series use a certain special thing they value to make them closer, in Kumika no Mikaku it's the food and in Bonnouji is all the random stuff in Oyamada room. In my opinon, each series has a great sense of humor, and both gave me a relaxing feel after reading every chapter; and I hope you feel the same way!
