Ase to Sekken
|
A smooth, wholesome romance between two adults with jobs is something both these manga provide. The relationships reflect the age of the protagonists (20s) and are handled well. Ase to Sekken is more explicit, with a focus on ML's smell fetish and FL's excessive sweating, but that ultimately adds to the sweetness of their relationship, just as the food does in Tonari.

Aiura

While the characters and their relationship dynamics are somewhat different, both these manga are slice of life 4-koma comedies following a group of high school girls enjoying their everyday life. Despite there being some male side-characters in both manga, they are CGDCT and focused on the main group, trio in Aiura and quartet in A-Channel, with plenty chapters showing their interactions with their other school friends and classmates. The teachers too are not forgotten and get their fair share of comedic moments.

Vanilla Essence

Both being anthologies full of romance stories of couples, many of whom were couples from before the start of their chapter, having good times, there are few better places to enjoy oneself in a wholesome manner. Both manga have a variety of stories with a variety of tags, Koinaka moreso (it even dips its toes into some rape) than Vanilla, but they are all tied together by the couples' fun times.

Futari Ashita mo Sorenari ni

If you are looking for manga about working adults in a strong and stable relationship, going about their life of cohabitation, flirting and overall enjoying their daily life, you've come to the right place. Both couples have been together since before the start of the manga and their relationships are cute and fluffy yet pretty realistic. Other than than the main couples, both manga have a supporting cast of the protagonists' friends and families, who have their own relationships and lives. The major differences are that Tonari has a considerable focus on cooking and food (mostly drinking snacks) while Futari has a bit more drama and a largely unimportant age gap.

Tonari wa Nani wo Kuu Hito zo

When an amazing cook who loves cooking enters the life of the protagonist, someone who can't cook yet loves eating, a new relationship (and the manga) begins. From then on, the two learn about each other while cooking a variety of recipes (the whole recipes included at the end of each chapter!) using the ingredients their parents send them. Of course, there are differences since Tonari is a romance story while Shinmai is CGDCT, but both pairs' love for food is unmistakeable, which helps them grow closer and learn to live in close proximity (neighbors in Tonari, cohabiting sisters in Shinmai).

Tonari wa Nani wo Kuu Hito zo: Horoyoi
|
Adult, working protaginsts in a stable relationship and cohabitation are aplenty in both of these manga, topped with sweet, sweet romance. As the stories develop, the relationships between both couples progress as they wade through life, experiencing ups and downs. Both manga are also told from the girl's perspective, and they both have prequels detailing how the couples got together. However, Tonari is much more sweet, showing all the best parts of a couple in love (within ~PG-13, of course) and has a considerable focus on food and cooking, while Life So Happy has another set of protaginsts, the twins from the prequel, now in elementary school, who have their own story, largely separate from the couple.

Dasei 67 Percent

Despite taking different stances on the matter, both manga are about a female protagonist studying for an art degree while enjoying her life and encountering several common students' woes. However, Kakukaku Shikajika is introspective while Dasei 67 Percent is a much simpler episodic comedy.

Dasei 67 Percent

The largest similarity between the two manga is that they are about a bunch of otaku of both sexes getting together in one room and having fun, progressing through university (both manga span years). However, where Genshiken focuses on the depiction of the otaku subculture and the characters' (romantic) relationships, Dasei 67 Percent shows the hilarious shenanigans that careless and/or drunk uni students can get to through an episodic format. The latter is also prone to making dirty jokes and exposing the main character. Nevertheless, they are both great at displaying the funny (un)realities of the student life.

Neko to Chiyo

Both Neko to Chiyo and Slime Lie are centered around the life of a child (a little nekomimi girl and a slime respectively) and its parent figure who is a young woman. With their short chapters, at their beginning they both focus on the relationship of the two main characters which is full of fluff. While Slime Life starts with the protagonists getting to know each other (and Darrul learning how to parent), Neko to Chiyo begins as a family unit, exploring the adorable life of a cat-like child (or a cat in a child's body?).

Despite being of nigh entirely different genres, both Slime Life and Kubo-san wa Mob wo Yurusanai start with a girl, a dark elf black magician and a dense high schooler respectively, taking interest in and teasing a guy, a child slime and a dense high schooler respectively. In both manga it starts almost as bullying but soon mellows out and the girl's affection is revealed and comes through. Afterwards, both pairs slowly start developing their relationships and recognise their feelings and responsibilities. Also, both girls are extremely adorable.

Slime Life

Both these Slice of Life manga start when an adult becomes the de facto guardian of a child. From there the protagonists learn to coexist and forge a relationship, meet new and old friends and adventure through the setting. However, where Slime Life relies on the cuteness of both protagonists and relies on estabilished tropes, Yotsuba to! walks the path of realism and genuine characters. Nevertheless, despite the differing styles, both stories are primarily about a curious and (mostly) lovable child enjoying its life under the umbrella of a (mostly) reliable guardian The fact that both manga feature a characer related to the guardian that the child percieves as an enemy is a nice cherry on top.

Both these Slice of Life CGDCT manga are centered around children and child-like characters going around the environment they live in (part of Tokyo for Mitsuboshi Colors, and a forest for Chiisana Mori no Ookami-chan), playing around, exploring and just overall enjoying their simple lives. Additionally, each of these series can be seen to be of the Iyashikei sub-genre, depending on one's point of view. Parallels can also be drawn between the posses of three main character, though only to an extent.

Ayakashi Ko

Despite only sharing the Slice of Life genre, both manga feature a female protagonist attending high school who is very capable. Though the details of their circumstances differ, both Mahoron and Shiharu end up taling care of a group of ayakashi and kindergarden twins respectively, whish they enjoy. Parts of their personalities are very similar. Overall, both stories are mostly about the MC taking care of their cute wards while balancing their high school lives. Mostly though the similarity lies in the adorable interactions between the protagonist and their wards.

Both the Slice of Life CGDCT manga well in the Iyashikei genre are about a small group of characters getting up to various antics irrelevant to any (non-existent) plot, though where in Shinmai Shimai the antics are making food, in Mitsuboshi Colors it's playing around town. Nigh all chapters are heartwarming with little to no serious stories, and in all of them one can experience the joy of seeing cute girls be happy and cute and have fun. The type of cuteness and the degree of seriousness reflects the age of the main characters, but the feeling the reader experiences is almost identical.

Shinmai Shimai no Futari Gohan
|
Both are slow Slice of Life manga that step into the Iyashikei genre, though Flying Witch has the healing in the form of exploring magic and places with a wide variety of characters, not all of whom are cute girls, while Shinmai Shimai has it in exploring food with a smaller cast of important characters, all of whom are cute girls. There is not too much similarity between them, but they both bring the all-important element of losing oneself in the events of the manga that bring liitle to no progress to the (non-existent) plot. These events are made to seem mundane despite being extraordinary.

Ayakashi Ko

Both manga are Slice of Life CGDCT manga that step into the Iyashikei genre. Mahoron, the protagonist of Ayakashi Ko, is very similar to Ayarin in that they are both very good at taking care of others, are very warm to their friends but are shy around strangers such that they appear cold and unapproachable. Overall, they are similar in style and character interactions and developement, though their focuses are different since Ayakashi Ko is more about life together and much less about cooking.

Hana Dorei

Both are older BDSM hentai where the MC, a guy new to BDSM, gets to dominate an already 'trained' MILF after her previous partner is out of the picture. How this happens and the way the plot develops is vastly different in each case, but both are almost exclusively BDSM. In Gekka Bijin this is consensual and more positive, while in Hana Dorei it is more egotistic and negative. All in all, despite having nigh opposite characters and themes, they show off the BDSM well.

Although different in many aspects, both series share a common theme in consensual BDSM, not something I have seen much of, especially compared to the nonconsensual kind. Other than that, however, they are rather different; while Maid in Heaven shows us a considerably wide variety of BDSM practices from the girl's point of view, Gekka Bijin foregoes most of these, sometimes grazing the surface, and instead presents us with a large treat of bondage (in all kinds of poses) sprinkled with a bit of plot, several girls and a yuri scene as the dessert. As an added bonus, they are both good ol' uncensored hentai.

Urara Meirochou

In both series there is a group of beautiful girls about 15 years of age who are apprentices for some profession - in Aria it is undine (gondola tour guide) and in Urara Meirochou it is fortune-teller. All of the girls are also aiming to be the best in their given professions although their daily adventures are the main focus in both of these anime. In each anime there is also an onee-san character who is a bit older than they are and from whom they are learning (in Aria there are another 2 of those). Urara Meirochou is much more moe and comedy oriented while Aria is more focused on atmosphere (a soothing one) and is a lot slower.

Komorebi no Kuni

Similar in length of both the entire series as well as each chapter in addition to being really relaxing and (at times) carefree. Both are in colour and feature primarily three girls and their lives in school but mostly outside of it. Komorebi no Kuni puts bigger importance on side characters while Yuru Yuru is more comedic. More generally and ambiguously, they have very similar atmospheres.
