Manga: Umibe no Étranger
non-fetishized yaoi (more like shounen-ai) with healthily developing relationships, more realistic compared to other works of the same genre out there.

Manga: Solanin
Two heartfelt coming-of-age dramas, with protagonists processing love and loss through the power of music. Both highly cathartic and guaranteed to make you bawl.

Manga: Nana
Both manga focus on bands (in fact, Nana has two) and the interpersonal relationships between band members, as well as showing some of the struggles to become successful in the music industry (Given is just starting to touch on this topic, while it is much more important in Nana). Be prepared with tissues when reading either one, because at times both contain tragedy, grief, hinted-at toxic relationships, and implied depression.

Manga: Yoru to Asa no Uta
Given is cute and yoru to asa is straight yaoi with a good plot. Both of these are love stories between people in the music band. 
reportRecommended by MightyQueen
Manga: Angel Beats!: Heaven's Door
Both stories share similar emotionally driven music and bands especially the bonds between the band members and acquaintances and a downbeat tone to the stories with moments of humor and wholesomeness as well to balance it out from time to time

reportRecommended by -Sonal-
Manga: Hishakai Shindo
Both are good BL manga with similar characters and have a music theme around them. The story is the main focus and they both do a great job pacing the romance so it isn't too rushed. 
reportRecommended by Mayuka
Manga: Links
Both the manage are written by the same author (Kizu Natsuzi) that's why the art style as well as stories have the same look and feel. Links focus on building relations and realizing mutual feelings for each other. On the other hand, Given is about finding the true meaning of feelings and more through friendship with a little help from Music^^. Both are must reads. 
reportRecommended by skuj
Manga: Bokura no Shokutaku
Both have a pretty soft and gentle feeling, and deal with two boys getting together and overcoming/accepting loss (though Given is more for the previous boyfriend, and in BnS it's familial). Given is more driven in its story where BnS meanders a bit, but both are quite comforting to read. 
reportRecommended by Quillium
Manga: Kininatteru Hito ga Otoko ja Nakatta
Both are music-centred same-sex romances. Both have elements of songwriting and musical passion as well. 
reportRecommended by Quillium
Manga: Love Song

reportRecommended by -Sonal-
Manga: Age Called Blue
Music is the basis of both these manga, through which two young boys bond with each other. 
reportRecommended by -Sonal-
Manga: 88rhapsody
