They're both about crossdressing. They also give off pretty similar vibes in both their art and storytelling. Both stories are very character oriented and get into each of the characters' personalities and reasons behind why they dress/act the way they do. Horou Musuko is a bit more down-to-earth and innocent growing-up story. Bokura no Hentai is more mature and is laced with little bits of fantasy and philosophy. 

Bokura no hentai is like the junior version of himegoto, with a strong focus on transexuality. The characters are younger but have just the same serious issues, so it's actually one step darker. It's classified as shounen ai but I don't really find it trying to be arousing at all. Both have rather a slight trigger warning to them.  

- have male characters who have been sexually assaulted by other men - familial abuse - dark tone and subject matter - psychologically damaged characters - the art becomes 'trippy' when the characters have breaks in their psyches -love triangle - b.l : yaoi/ shounen ai - both mangas have more bisexual characters than gay characters. 

While Bokura no Hentai focues more on gender identity and is a bit heavier than Shishunki Bitter Change, both manga have a similar atmosphere and art style. If you like one, there's a good chance you'll also like the other.  

Both are slightly bittersweet dramas featuring one transgender female main character and other cross-dressing main characters; they focus heavily on gender-study of oneself. Bokura no Hentai is darker, almost disturbing and also concentrates on mental health issues while Kanojo ni Naritai is lighter but thought-provoking.  

Both stories have characters that are trans and/or cross-dress due to various reasons but haven't come out in society for fear of being judged. 

Heartwarming heartbreaks. Bokura no Hentai and Blue Flag are both stories about self discovery and love taking a very liberal look at each respective subject. These coming of age stories are in my opinion great representations of queer struggles in our societety and their characters are easily relatable for anyone having just questioned their sexuality/gender before. They also both feature love triangles (or polygon in Blue Flag's case ig) which were drawbacks for me, but could also be a key appeal for another reader. Anyway, if you're looking for bittersweet tales of identity and romance the two manga are definitely for you! 

Both are character centric manga that delve very specifically into gender identity and would both be classified as boylove manga. They both follow psychologically damaged characters. Each series treats transsexuality in a more serious and realistic tone, especially in regard to fears in transitioning, and have somewhat bitter, ambiguous endings. 

Both manga deal with the issue of cross dressing. But you have to keep in mind that since Irony is 5 chapters long, it doesn't delve heavily into the emotional/psychological aspects and impacts of cross dressing or being gay, while Bokura does exactly that. Side note: I'm not happy with how the seme in Irony laughed at the uke being molested. Wtf? Just bc he's a guy doesn't mean that molesting him is okay. That was poorly handled, which is sad bc everything else was handled beautifully. 

Parou's story is similar to J. They were both assaulted at a young age and that causes them to continuously get into abusive relationships as teenagers. 

Both are slice-of-life style manga with a focus on LGBT issues. Both have crossdressing characters, as well as trans ones. Shimanami Tasogare has a much larger scope providing a glimpse across several parts of the LGBT spectrum (more towards the L&G side) meanwhile BnH is more about gender presentation and gender roles, but in much further detail, focusing on the 3 main characters as they grow up. The art is wonderful and unique in both, which helps with their respective foci.  

These manga share a sort of dark psychosexual introspection that is very rare. They're both filled with trauma, self discovery, complex and messy relationships, but also punctuated with quiet moments of human connection and personal triumph. I think this is a lot more meaningful of a similarity compared to the other recommendations which boil down to "they both have a bodyswapping premise." 

- both B.L - have softly drawn (delicate) illustrations - can be cute but dark (BNK is darker) - focuses on young adolescents and budding sexuality - bullied for orientation - stir up strong emotions (both happy and sad) - same air of innocence * B.N.K has bi/gay/ and trans characters , while K.N.S has only 2 (probably) gay characters 

While yubisaki is following one kid through high school while doing all sort of things, incl cross dressing, bokura no hentai focuses on group interaction. Both have really interesting takes on gender and cross dressing, though I'm guessing that LGBT-activists in general might enjoy bokura no hentai better with it's more strict foucus. 

A lot of the same topics are portrayed in these two, but much more lighter in Nanashi no Asterism, without the heavy back stories and all that jazz.  

Not at all similar in terms of plot, but the interactions between characters made me think of Boku-Hen (Our Abnormalities/Our Transformations - don't let the title misslead you, it's not about perverts, i swear) when reading The Princess and the Three Beasts. Mostly between one of the secondary characters (Ryousuke and Renrard) and the heroine (Marika and Violet). While the characters from the opposing manga do have different personalities, we see the male show support towards the girl and tries to help her. It's more than that, it's mostly the lingering atmosphere that i cannot describe). Boku-Hen is also more serious and psychological, delving in darker themes, while Himegimi is a shorter and relaxing read. read more 

Both manga deal with sensitive topics like transitioning, cross dressing, gender identity confusion and even being an LGBTQ+ person in today's society. But while Hanayome is autobiographical in nature and has one trans MC, Bokura is fictional and revolves around four young boys who find comfort in each other.
