I think some of the characters are similar, like:

Tohru-Mitsuki   

Rin-Madoka 

Kyo-Takuto

I found the main girl to be similar in these two. While the stories are a little different, there are certainly elements which remain the same. Both follow the story of a hopeful girl who, despite all hardships, does her best to smile and fulfil a dream. Both are later "rescued" (depending on how you interpret it) and so the stories begin.

They both have some kind of tragedy which they're trying to fight against and there's some guy around who's innocent but is still put as a bad person. :) 

reportRecommended by PenPeriwinkle

Both are shoujo, with a non-important magical aspect. Both have a young, sweet female as the protagonist, and both are romances, but they are also both very deep and explore many other themes such as death. I would even go as far as to say that Full Moon is more depressing than Furuba, and both are much deeper than usual shoujo. They are also of similar length.

Both of these manga are about imaginative girls who seem to be in a strange world. Then, they are joined by other people who they seem to help out with. Both Fruits Basket and Full Moon are very stylish manga about girls whom you would fall in love with and you will love the characters who provide comical relief such as Takuto - Kyo or Meroko and whatnot. They also provide comedy, some drama, and magic. 

reportRecommended by Pitrocks14

Both series are deceptively dark - are they cheerful fantastical romances? Rather, both deal with issues of suicide, illness and debilitating curses. Both say similar things and ask similar questions.

The Sohma curse in Fruits Basket and the Shinigami curse in Full Moon share similarities too, each with their own discussion. Both situations are explored and complicated by the arrival of an unassuming, lonely girl. The most powerful people in each of their stories, both Tohru and Mitsuki provide the cursed with new ways to find answers.

The most important similarity is that each of them offer deconstruction and utility of typical shoujo narratives. Crucially, neither are solely about romance, or curses: both are about important, almost familial, relationships and how best to hold them dear. read more

Fruits Basket and Full Moon wo Sagashite are both shoujo manga about a female protagonist who has become an orphan and ends up getting herself in the middle of supernatural hijinks. She manages to touch the hearts of the people she meets along the way and finds herself in the middle of a potential love triangle with two boys. While they are both funny reads with some over-the-top comedy, there is also tragic and potentially touchy subject matter within the story.

Great characters and a semi sad plot just makes the book great if you liked fruits basket

Both are by Arina Tanemura, so it goes without saying: romance, magic, comedy, and HUGE shoujo eyes.
Mitsuki and Maron are quite similiar. Full Moon can be dramatic with painfully sad situations, while KKJ is more light-hearted.

The best and most mature works of Arina Tanemura, with the usual drama-romance-comedy mix. Expect super pretty and shiny art, love triangles, tsundere boys, sweet and smutty kisses.
Full Moon is overall better than SDC for its story and realism, but they are truly enjoyable and well-written, have a nice cast of characters, and some really touching chapters/scenes.

Both girls aim to be singer. However, Mitsuki's grandmother and doctor won't let her audition because she has a sarcoma in her throat, which is only curable through surgery but it could ruin her vocal cords. Until one day, 2 shinigami called Takuto and Meroko visited her and told her that she only has 1 year left to live. Mitsuki realizes that she has to become a singer before she dies so she ran away from home. The shinigamis stopped her. Takuto transformed her to a healthy 16 year old girl which allows her to enter the audition. Mitsuki passed the audition. Now, Mitsuki's new life as a singer starts with hardships and troubles along the way.  read more

Ascendance of a Bookworm and Full Moon wo Sagashite are two manga series with a young and passionate female main character and some very cute artwork. The main character in both series really love something (books in Ascendance and music in Full Moon), but due to their age and very sickly nature (as well as due to the time setting in Ascendance's case), her family often limits her to staying at home and doesn't understand her interests. Ascendance isn't as tragic/dark as Full Moon, though.

A good mix of love and tragedy, happiness and depression are the best points of both series! Even if both protagonists (both cute by the way) have problems with their life and family, they are never in a bad mood, and keep following their dreams always with a smile! And this is exactly what make they find their love story! Both stories show how a positive vision of life can change the world and people around you. A true lesson for all. And, if you cares about the art, they are really close, with big beautiful eyes and shiny hairs!

Kobato and Full Moon wo Sagashite are two manga with beautiful art and some fantasy elements that may not seem obvious at first. The main character is a relatively young and/or innocent girl who is followed by at least one talking animal plushie companion (a dog in Kobato, and a cat and bunny in Full Moon) that are not what they seem. There is a surprisingly large amount of of characters in both series (not just the main characters) that have some amount of backstory and drama to them, making both some unexpectedly sad and/or dark stories.

Both involve a young, naive, and headstrong girl who is able to transform into an older and more beautiful version of herself with certain limitations. Because the girl is so naive she gets into trouble when she is her older self and sometimes has to be saved by her male love interest.
