If you liked Super Cub add

...then you might like Shoushimin Series add

While comparisons to Hyouka will be made, because they are made by the same author, the first show that came to mind when watching the first episode was Super Cub. Both this shows have a very down-to-earth approach to the storytelling, where there seems to be things happening, but not much drama going on, and the beautiful animation and music just make it kind of a relaxing experience. If you liked Super Cub, I think you'd like Shoushimin Series. And if you like this realistic, relaxing down-to-earth tone, you'll like Super Cub

If you liked 86 add

...then you might like Vinland Saga Season 2 add

Both are shows about the ugliness and futility of war, and about scared people trying to survive in a world torn by it. While Vinland is more historical, and 86 is more Sci-fi, both shows are grounded in universal themes of war, the value of life, and freedom. They also feel pretty similar in tone, both dealing with heavy themes and yet with a mostly piano-based Soundtrack, which makes it feel both peaceful and tragic at the same time. If you like one, you owe it to yourself to watch the other

If you liked Kaiba add

...then you might like Ousama Ranking add

Both shows share a similar visual style. Character designs feel like they're inspired by Osamu Tezuka (Astro Boy), which gives it a kiddy feel, and the animation is very fluid. But make no mistake, these shows both deal with heavy themes and are probably aimed at more mature audiences. Kaiba is more bizarre and filled with symbols, while Ousama Ranking has a more conventional story, but it's still quite mature. Both are probably masterpieces

If you liked Ao no Flag add

...then you might like Ao no Hako add

I'm surprised no one has recommended this yet. Though I promise there's more in common than just the name, I swear! When I started reading Blue Box I was immediately reminded of Blue Flag. Firstly, they're both really cute and wholesome romances. Blue Flag starts out being very obviously a love triangle, but Blue Box is less interested in that, and more about the developing relationship in both of its main leads. Though it's still possible it might go in that direction in the future. The art style also is somewhat alike. They both manage to make some very detailed and beautiful panels of the characters, while still balancing that with silly and cartoony faces without making it feel jarring. But what I like most about both these mangas is the characters. They feel real in both these stories and in both of them, the conversations are basically the highlight of the story because they feel like conversations you would have with people you know in real life. The characters show they care about their friends and their crushes, sometimes in very obvious ways, and sometimes subtlety. And when they're bothered about something, they talk about it, no useless drama prolonging for too long, so both stories manage to be wholesome and at the same time have a very fast pace in relation to other romance mangas, where the characters will stay in that "will-they-won't-they" state forever. Also, these mangas still build up to the story's turning points, so they feel earned. So yeah, I think if you like one, you should definitely check out the other. Also, I'll say it again. The silly faces are super funny in both of these.
