Both manga have a very charming main male and sweet, cute main female. Both of the main females are a bit pervy and not afraid to admit their desires to their mans. Both of the guys are like the ideal boyfriend. Reading both of these modern Shoujo manga made me feel kind of giddy on the inside as they kind of portray a perfect romance life, with healthy relationship and GREAT communication between the lovers. It's incredible how easily digestible both of these manga are.

Pretty much identical male and female leads except in Totsuzen, the female lead is amazing at her work and is eye to eye with her man. Hapi Mari is way more dramatic overall with a lot of soap opera drama while Totsuzen keeps it simple and doesn't have as much of a mess.

So both of these anime are gonna be aimed towards the female audience more than men. It is very focused on relationships between men that transcend romance and fall under a partnership/soulmates title and are about our main characters trying to escape an evil organization. Both shows are very serious and a bit trippy but overall, the story will come together in the end and make sense. They both have action, mystery and drama involved.

These are both "case file" mystery anime that are not about gruesome murders or serial killing but about other more mundane topics such as paintings/art and jewels. Both of these anime are very relaxing to watch, kind of like the feeling of drinking tea while sitting on the deck of your backyard. Both are also novel adaptations and I would say they're both Josei or Seinen demographic.

The theme of both these manga are not similar, but the romance is quite similar. Useless/unpopular girl meets a perfect/attractive guy. The guy is super strict with her and challenges her to improve on her life and improve as a person. They end up falling in love. I love Nodame and Chiaki and when I read DameKoi, it felt like I was reading the same thing sometimes because Michiko and Ayumu act so similar to Nodame and Chiaki.

Both anime here are about two protagonists who are leaders on opposing sides of a war. Neither sides are "bad" but they just have different ideals. The structure of the anime is very similar although Terra e has more supernatural aspects while CG is more mecha battles. I got very similar vibes.

The mystery in both series works the same way. They both give extreme thrills as the main character goes through obstacles to discover the truth. There are lots of chase scenes that remind me of each other. Not only that, both series have similar style of art and music where it's very traditional/classic and revolves around myths and stories. They are both incredible mystery/sci-fi series.

This is a one way recommendation, first of all. If you like the romance of the main pairing in IS, you should definitely check out Rutta to Kodama because they are extremely similar. Both relationships rely on trust and leaning on each others strengths. They're less sexual and more spiritual and romantic. Both of the submissive characters are similar to one another as well and look the same.

You want mind games? You got it. You want mental chess? You got it. You want gore and killing? You got it! Both series have two intelligent protagonists who are fighting against each other. In Death Note, it is between Kira and L while in Bloody Monday, the protagonist is actually on the good side, like L and the antagonists are like Kira, who kill for "justice". You got two sides tryin' one-up each other through with fearsome tricks and traps. Both are extremely thrilling and exciting.

They both follow very similar timelines. If you read both, you'll get what I mean. Both heavily emphasis first loves and true love. Similar to Bokura ga Ita, these three series have a character with a sad/traumatic past, a love interest to their character and another love rival(s). The side male character are all extremely similar as they're polite and kind while the main male character are like a sun to the main female character.

Both are fun comedy anime with a eccentric cast of characters voiced by a large star-studded veteran seiyuu cast. They have similar character archetypes - a happy go lucky guy, a lazy guy, a guy who's liked by everyone, a straight man, a big brother, a cool guy, a comic relief guy.. etc. They share multiple of the same voice actors. Also, both anime are broken down into skits/parts and episodic/standalone.
