Both titles are similar to a degree where it's easier to list what is different. Most probably Nana to Kaoru was an inspiration for Takane no Hana wa Midaresaki. Similarities include, but not limited to: high-school setting, ecchi, romance based on light S&M, where boy is dom and girl is sub, girl is popular, good-looking, and seemingly unattainable (but has a secret pervy side), boy is average on the outside, but has other redeeming qualities. The differences: NtK is deeper and slower-paced, builds better connection with the characters. It is also educational at times. TnHwM is more chaotic, provides less emotional build-up, but packs more content in fewer chapters. Character wise, in TnHwM the female lead is more assertive right from the start and moves the relationship forward, slowly converting the "normie" male lead to S&M. In contrast, in NtK the male lead has the "dom" mindset from the start and introduces the female lead to the world of S&M; both characters growing into their roles as the series progresses. Note: at the time of this review TnHwM is still ongoing. Review is based on 30 chapter that are available.
