Both are the most superb slice-of-life that i have ever read. each manga has its own unique atmosphere and tells you wonderful storys that when they end you fell all fuzzy and warm inside.  

Amanchu! is Amano Kozue's newest manga after the Aria series, so any Aria fan would be thrilled/enraptured to read the next series this fantastic mangaka has created. The main characters both have a sunny disposition that effects those around them, and the storytelling gives the same relaxed feeling as Aria. Plus, the settings take place mainly around water or water related activities! 

In the eyes of the innocent, the world is always full of wonders. 

Cute professionals doing cute things in fantastic worlds 

Vibrant characters with very pleasant interactions; stories that follow a slow, pleasant pace. Both are relaxing and great cheer-up reads. Note that Ameiro is a girls' love (shoujo-ai) work - Aria is not. 

Both are calm and relaxing slice-of-life stories with characters that go at their own pace. Both have cats (addressed as President/Shachou-san) that sense and encounter the supernatural and mysterious aspects of their respective series.  

These two titles don't exactly share the romance element of Emma nor the magical realism of Aria, but they're both essentially very pure slice of life stories that have a mood as light as air. Fantastic locations and lovable side stories have a healing power. Emma is not often quoted to belong to the iyashi-kei subgenre, but I believe the feeling that manifests from it is similar to that of Aria. 

If you are a fan of Aria, you would definitely love this manga. Beautiful slice of life of a girl who enjoys her moment, the slow and gentle atmosphere of life, the wonderful interaction between fellow human... it is simply heal your soul. In both mangas, the characters work and live to their fullest. They all depict that happiness we all seek in life. For me, both of them deserve a 10/10 for slice of life category Note: Kirei ni Shite offers a litte bit of fan service! 

both mangas have differences between them, such as one emphasizes more on romance, the hardship of an adult and another one is purely a Slice of Life with a little sparkle of romance in it. But what makes them both similar, is the way both leave an impression on you. Both have a very subtle and delicate way of telling the story with its art and writing that will suck you slowly into the story and you'll feel like you are in the shoes of those characters. Both did a very good job of connecting the characters with its surroundings that you'll fell in love with each and every one of them So, if you are looking for a manga, not from an art perspective(one is webtoon, so you can't possibly compare them), not from a character perspective(since motive of the characters are different in both manga), but gives you similar feeling as either one then you can give other one a try read more 

Let dive into the mysterious world of Aqua, or uncover the lost world within Mushishi. Experiences will be there, even though it could be unenjoyable. Ink colour > Full colour. I can't explain, there exist simultaneously satisfaction and hunger for more. 

Both are extremely wholesome and you can't help but support the main cast. Really nice feel good series about the protagonist meeting others creating little influences and life lessons to each other's lives. 

The settings are both Italy-inspired.. while Aria's setting is Neo-Venezia which is based on old-time Venice, Arte's setting is actually old-time, 16th century Florence/Firenze. Both series also feature a young girl who is working hard to work as a certain profession, although in Aria the undine job is normally for women, while Arte depicts reactions brought by the heresy that is a girl wanting to be an artist. While Aria is basically a relaxed and relaxing manga, Arte sometimes depicts real-life problems in society. Both have awesome art. 

Aria and Kotonoba Drive expresses the themes of slice of life with a fine degree of elegance. While they don't have complex story plot twists, they make it up with its colorful cast of characters. They also portray every day life activities with its wonderful world fiction. Both series are recommended for anyone who is interested in reading a slow-pacing and elegant story. 

Although they do not have many themes in common, one can remind you of the other thanks to the italian setting or in the atmosphere and the vibes that you get while reading it. It's very subtle but the feels are the same. 

Both involve civilizations outside of Earth, they both revolve around the jobs of the protagonists and they people that they meet; both have a similar atmosphere and a heartwarming feeling. You'll really enjoy this series if you like Aria! 

No, seriously. Aria deals with hope and discovering the wonders of it's world while BLAME! deals with despair and the devastating dystopia created from hundreds of years of terraforming (hey just like planet Aqua). Complete opposites. So... why am I recommending these? Despite different themes and settings I feel that if you found one enjoyable than the other might be worth looking into if you're open minded. Just don't expect "Ara aras" and "Punyaas" from BLAME!, it's more *BANG BANG* and *WALK WALK*. They each have beautiful art and scenery. Each mangaka has a great sense for scale and architectural design which really immerse the reader into their world. read more 

Kitchen Princess and Aria have a lot in common when it comes to the emotions they evoke and the characters themselves. Najika and Akari both share a wonderful optimism about life even through difficult situations. Aika and Akane also remind me of each other, though Aika was never quite so cold to Akari. Though Kitchen Princess has more drama and tragedy, I feel that fans would also enjoy the gentle pacing and relaxed joyful feeling of Aria. 

These two series aren't very similar story-wise, and compared to Aria, Shoulder-a-Coffin Kuro is slightly gloomier and more humorous.(Yes, it's a paradox, yet it's true) But they both provide insights on small aspects of life and give off a charming, sentimental feeling. 

The two share similar settings, characters, and themes. Both protagonists are talented in their fields of work and have caught the attention of enigmatic supernatural beings. 

Both manga involve a girl moving to a new place and learning to appreciate the beauty life has to offer through every day adventures. 

Heartwarming manga with different settings but both are about friendship and with similiar coming of age elements.  

One is set on 18th century Tibet, while the other is on Mars in the future, but both offers a comfortable read about the daily life of a hardworking, positive protagonists that remind me of each other. On top of the protagonists' outlooks on life, the art of both series are so detailed, sucking you into the story to appreciate the world of it. 

The soothing atmosphere of the town where they works, and the heartwarming interaction with the inhabitants makes Fumino and Akari personality overlaps. They both does their duty with full sincerity and love that touches the heart of the people they worked with.  

Completely different settings and plot but Aria has some chapters about delivering letters that holds people's hearts and memories, so both manga shares the same magical image of writing and getting letters 

Aria and Non Non Biyori are relaxing slice of life shows that can appeal to any audience. They compose of a main female cast with a diverse range of personalities. Throughout both series, we see their character relationships as well as they way they enjoy life. Aria is also known for its well-defined world fiction and elegance. Non Non Biyori depicts every day life events with a strong degree of realism and nostalgia.
