If you liked Chihayafuru add

...then you might like Sakamichi no Apollon add

Starting with the differences: Sakamichi no Apollon evolves around music, Chihayafuru doesn´t. And whereas Sakamichi no Apollon tells the way in which the characters must deal with certain issues they drag from the past, Chihayafuru deals more with self-improvement. But in both stories the characters develop a deep friendship that starts because they share a common interest or passion: in the case of Sakamichi no Apollon it´s music, in the case of Chihayafuru it´s karuta. And this friendship works as a force that provides strength and support. In both stories art is a central issue: be it music or poetry. Both succeed in representing something that is very difficult to represent through a drawing: in the case of Chihayafuru, the adrenaline and speed of the card game. In the case of Sakamichi no Apollon it´s the music which you can, for some reason, almost hear while reading the manga.

If you liked Doushitemo Furetakunai add

...then you might like Otokogokoro add

The art is very different and so are the stories. Doushitemo Furetakunai is more realistic, especially as regards the characteres, and has a more serious plot than Otokogokoro (which has more comedy). But both are refreshing in the sense that the couples in both stories don't have a sick and twisted relationship. There is no violence, no histeria, no rape or abuse. They just love each other.

Same artist, same author. They both convey a similiar feeling or sensation. Both are sad stories, about lonely children who are drawn together by some supernatural event or condition.
