While most sports manga is published in shounen magazines, these two both lean more into shoujo-esque patterns of storytelling and art.

Shoujo☆Kageki Revue Starlight
|
Both involve storytelling through performance (ballet and musical theater), including great orchestral music and the perils of Dance School That Has Secrets. Also, important talking animal characters. Other than having musical magical girls, both share fights against fate and stories paralleling in-series stories. Also unexpected dark twists, and nice choreography that combines dance and combat.

Shoujo☆Kageki Revue Starlight
|
Visually stunning anime for those who like tragic lesbians with swords. Both share a lot of character types, themes, narrative tools, and subversions on the magical girl genre to make it more tragic. Madoka leans more into horror-esque storytelling while Revue Starlight is more for musical theater fans. Otherwise, they are fairly similar stories.

Similar veins of humor, although "Online Game...etc" also has romantic developments. If you're one of the many fans of Kyuujitsu no Warumono-san who wishes the boys kissed, maybe try "Online Game". (If you like Online Game but maybe wish there was less romance, try Kyuujitsu.)

Both are dancing manga that are character driven. Both authors are also better known for their emotionally compelling BL manga, so they come from similar circles and end up with similar writing styles thematically.

Koi wa Kamen no Uchigawa ni
|
Both BLs are about men who fall for costume heroes, I always link these two in my mind! I think fans of one would likely enjoy the other, especially if part of the appeal is a pre-existing fondness for costume heroes/sentai. They also both feature: >delinquent characters who are actually shy and kind >high school drama (Oko-sama continues into adulthood though) >communication issues >a wholesome but somewhat intense love.

>Extremely similar premise, where many people exist with incredible abilities. The way the narrative and worldbuilding work with these extremely open ideas is a major part of the series and the viewer's enjoyment. >Deep plot that gets surprisingly dark for being about children. Explores how those with power use their influence to control those without power. >Cool action adventure mixed with school hijinks.

Both stories involve magic-esque excuses for the two leads to kiss a lot. Also one of the leads starts out Very Against all the kissing, but becomes more endeared to his partner over time.

Tonari ni

Are you a fan of slow burn? Do you not want the main couple to speak a word to each other for at least the first chapter, and not learn each other's names until after that? The ages of the characters are quite different (high schoolers in Slow Starter vs 30s-40s in Tonari Ni), but both are extremely sweet love stories complete with pining, trying to act normal in front of your crush, and more pining.
