Both Red River and the Fushigi Yuugi series deal with young girl who get transported to other worlds and fall in love. 

1. There is a heroine who is in love with someone she isn't supposed to 2. The heroine travels to a different world where they need someone to save the country from some evil people 3. The heroine is strong and has some way of fighting 4. Girl has to travel with a bunch of guys 5. Love triangle/square 6. Part of a prophecy Both of these are adventures with strong willed heroines, but Fushigi Yuugi is better suited for a more mature audience. But if you couldn't get enough of either one you might want to try reading the other. 

Somehow while reading Akatsuki no Yona I remember Fushigi Yuugi: Genbu kaiden... Same atmosphere and feel to it, Same on problems in politics. Both heroine are protected by their companions and are very strong and can somehow stand in their own... 

Similarities: 1. The heroine was transported in a parallel universe for the purpose of fulfilling a prophecy. 2. Her love interest is a very dangerous man who had initial thoughts of killing her but ended up becoming her protector. 3. Both guys also possess supernatural powers and controlling the wind is an ability they have in common. 4. Although both worlds were different, they deal with the same political issues and intrigues (like war and corruption). 

In Fushigi Yuugi: Genbu Kaiden, Takiko has to find the seven celestial warriors that will save the country from destruction. And in Baby Birth, the main character has a partner to help her save the world from the evil monsters that were able to escape to the real/human world. 

Chinese. Historical. Fantasy. Adventure. Anyone who dreams of falling into different side of world with full of fantasy?  

Both stories are extremely similar because they both take place in Ancient China, Both have a character that can change their gender at will (in Divine Melody its the main character and in the other its the love interest). Both have fantasy and mythological elements. And they both heavily revolve around trying to get over the death of a loved one  

Hot hero. Beautiful art. Lovey dovey moments! Strange Dragon, the hero turns into a dragon at times. Reminds me of seiryu. Old China background.  

Girl travels to another world/time and still can go back home.  

After all this years no one had ever thought of making recommendation for these two series. If you love the classic Fushigi Yugi I definitely give my highest recommendation to read Fushigi Yugi Genbu Kaiden. After-all its the Prequel of one of the most beloved popular shojo series. Of course its no brainer that they share the same concept and basic plot however the similarity ends there. Fushigi Yugi is cheesy and at times annoyingly sappy although entertaining altogether whilst Genbu Kaiden is more mature, deep, melancholic and has a much complex story. Both are definitely addictive and has memorable characters. If you want to see how Watase-sensei has grown and improved as both a storyteller and an artist, Genbu Kaiden will not disappoint. I highly highly recommend this prequel for those who love Fushigi Yugi. Of course new readers aren't really required to know the original to appreciate Genbu Kaiden. If you enjoy one or the other it's gauranteed you'll end up liking them both. For the record, Takiko and her romance story in Genbu Kaiden is the opposite of what Miaka and her romance was.  read more 

Both series is from my favorite mangaka. I highly Recommend you Fushigi Yugi Genbu Kaiden if you enjoyed reading Ceres. Athough they don't share anything plot-wise. Both contains wonderful story. Ceres is more on supernatural, psychological, dark series, while Fushigi Yugi Genbu Kaiden is adventure, fantasy and tragic tale. If you are an avid Watase follower you shouldn't missed both of these. Plus FYGK's heroine is not your typical whiny girl. She's responsible, independent and brave. Highly Recommended both this series, handsdown. Epic stuff. Nuff said go find scans or get the manga itself.  

Gal's in love with guys from other "worlds". In the FY he is from a book while in TS he comes from a card. If you like the twists of FY you'll most likely enjoy TS. 

Strong action girl heroines go back in time/to another world and fall in love with their bodyguards. Both series, have lots of comedy, action and romance based drama. 

Girl travels back in time. They can both fight well.  

Both are by the same author, but with dramatically different plot lines. Despite this, there is a similar feel to both manga. A must read if you like Watase-sensei's work.
