While Bokura Ga Ita features younger characters, they appear more mature in the way they analyze situations. While the story line is different, the characters in both stories work hard to help the ones around them find happiness. The overall atmosphere is similar, alternating between melancholy and small burst of light happiness.

Tachibana and Kira (Mars) are both secluded and introverts. Kurosawa and Rei (Mars) are both popular, talkative and liked by everyone in their entourage. Tachibana is honest (read explosive) with her feelings like Rei though, and Kurosawa lacks confidence that he is strong mentally much like Kira. The feel of their relationship as well as the pace of the story are very much alike. If you like one, chances are you'll like the other.
