These stories are very similar. They're both cute shoujo ai stories about two girls who fall in love unexpectedly and the problems that they face. If you like one, you'll like the other.

Yagate Kimi ni Naru addpermalink

Two of the most famous Yuri manga series, and with quite a few things in common. Their storylines have very similar plot points and story beats, and in particular their last tomes are almost eerily similar structurally. Both are highschool romances with an emphasis on lesbian self-discovery, and the way they develop is warm, cute and very sensitive.

YagaKimi's artwork is very detailed and its paneling and use of lighting is very good; while Girl Friends is more cartoonish and exagerated, not allowing characters actions and expressions for a moment of normalcy, but they both complement their tones really well. YagaKimi's story is more subdued, dramatic and puts a more realistic emphasis on the context of the girls' relationship, while Girl Friends is more comedic and light-hearted, and rarely puts its focus on anything but the main couple. YagaKimi has a bunch of side characters with their own little arcs, while Girl Friends' ones are very charming and memorable but don't get practically any development and just work as foils to the MCs.

I feel like the quality level of both series is very similar. I lean a bit in favor of Girl Friends because I find YagaKimi's middle arc a tad redundant and overplayed, and its melodramatic moments are harder to sit through for me; but I'll say in its favor that it has a more beautiful and touching ending than GFs, which in turn has a more consistent level of engagement. read more

Both these manga are shoujo-ai/yuri, have extremely cute art styles and a tiny bit of ecchi. Both manga give off the same feeling when reading and are set in all girl high schools. If you like one you'll certainly like the other!

Dekisokonai no Himegimi-tachi addpermalink

Pretty sure that Dekisokonai no Himegimi-tachi was heavily influenced by Girl Friends. . . Both feature a gyaru befriending a shy and awkward bookworm and share many almost identical plot devices and storylines, the most blatant instance is probably the bath scene. That was just way too on the nose to be a coincidence.

Kuchibiru Tameiki Sakurairo addpermalink

It's by the same author, except dealing with a different set of girls. Girl Friends is currently at 22 chapters+ whilst Kuchibiru is only one volume with two related oneshots. Also, Girl Friends focuses a lot on girly things like make-up and has an angsty story whereas Kuchibiru is more light-hearted. They're both good mangas, and I think if you like one, you should like the other.

Kase-san Series addpermalink

If I were to make a list of yuri manga that are absolutely fantastic for beginners and veterans alike to read, and enjoy, both of these would be on it, along with a few others that I'll try my best to write recommendations for. Follow the trail to learn about what makes yuri fantastic, (and, not to be rude to fans of citrus, cause I enjoy the manga myself quite a lot) without "relying" on forbidden love tropes, and trying to keep things as honest and clean as possible. That's not to say there won't be drama, though. Although Kase-san is essentially devoid of drama and tension on purpose, not all yuri is like that, and Girl Friends, although it's still not a lot of tension, does have a lot more than Kase-san. Well, who's going to follow me down the rabbit hole I call my home, and see why I find it so beautiful and cozy? read more

Both are yuri romances with very little ecchi, but with lots of emotion and love. Both are set in high school with characters that help each other grow and change for the better from beginning to end, all while falling in love with each other.

Ano Ko ni Kiss to Shirayuri wo addpermalink

While Girl Friends is significantly shorter, both stories focus on the cute relationships of feminine girls. Ano Kiss features a few different relationships and all are very romantic and really adorable. I would also say that both series are directed towards a more feminine audience.

Manga: Ichido dake demo, Koukai Shitemasu.

Ichido dake demo, Koukai Shitemasu. addpermalink

Girl Friends and Ichido dake follow the story of emotional maturity, romance and seduction between the eyes of odd and awkward main characters.
They handled their stories through a cute and detailed style, on one hand Girl friends follows a shoujo direction while Ichido Dake moe. However this doesn't prevents them of showing nudity and sexual scenes, handled in a respectful and somewhat solemn way.
If it is for the attractive art-style, the main pair chemistry or moderate sexual scenes, both series will accomplish it with a coherent narrative and smart panel compositions.

Mars no Kiss addpermalink

Two girls meet. One of the girls is the dictionary definition of innocence in every sense, while the other is depicted as a little less innocent, and maybe even a little promiscuous. One way or another, they become friends. Both girls believe themselves to be straight at the beginning, but as the story begins, it's clear that at least one of them is romantically interested in the other.

Netsuzou TRap addpermalink

NTR & Girl Friends are both Yuri series that focus on the growing romantic relationship of two girls. Both series has a struggle of two girls in a hetero relationship but has romantic feelings for their best girl friend. NTR is more explicit than Girl Friends while Girl Friends is more innocent. But Girl Friends does have a few ecchi moments as well.
