Amaetai Kemono

These delinquent manga are very similar. In both manga there is a tough guy who actually wants to be treated as a little brother type, or at the very least not seen as a delinquent by another male peer. In both manga the characters are not matter-of-factly attracted to the same sex. The romance develops at a slower pace, but still has the carnal scenes that attracts a yaoi audience. In both the more macho of the two main characters happens to take the uke role in the relationship.

Out of Control
|
The manga Kijima-kun and the manhwa Out of Control have similar school settings, and also feature a couple that included a popular seme trying to court a less popular uke. Another aspect that is similar, in my opinion, are the ukes personalities and facial awareness that leads them to have a lower self esteem than their significant other.

The story telling and fairy tale air in these manga, along with the art style seemed similar to me. They both include chapters depicting separate sets of characters in the same magic school.

Fetish is the name of the game and both of these manga have main characters that can not seem to control the urge to touch what they like. In Shiri Fechi Nanka ni Sukarete Tamaru ka the fetish is the perfect rear end; and in Jackass! is is the perfect pair of legs. In each the two MCs are both straight and end up as a couple as a result of a fetish.

Friend Line

Is it just me, or do these two manga have similar art styles?? Whats more is the characters personalities really resemble each other as well. Fukami and Arimura are tall family oriented alpha male types that cannot leave people in need of help alone. Miyamori and Yousuke are shorter with darker hair, both with a somewhat troublesome out look on their sexual inclination, and have a bad habit of pushing away their partner out of fear.

Tsumasaki Kara Aisarete
|
These stories give off the same feeling when I read them. Asuka (TKA) and Momo (YT) are both very loose and not too bright. Each dealing with odd past relationships that torment them. These guys also have a stroke luck in meeting a rather kindhearted straight guy who takes them in.The main difference is that YataMomo has more fleshed out characters since it is a longer story, while Tsumasaki Kara Aisarete is only a one volume manga. Thankfully each manga has a happy ending for the main couple!

Dangan Honey
|
These two stories have very little in common. Dangan Honey is light and fluffy one volume manga while Kore wa Koi no Hanashi has a somewhat melodramatic lengthy life story. But, they do both have a very wide age gap between an older male and a younger female. What makes them resemble even more, in my opinion, is the utter loyalty the MC's have for each other. Even if they don't exactly show it (looking at the males here.) Which is probably a good thing since the female leads are grade school students at the beginning of both manga.

In my opinion, these two manga are very similar in their environment and couple pairing. Both are set in school with a popular boy being obsessed with what would be labeled as a nerd (intelligent, glasses wearing, good student). Both couples have a forced first encounter, initiated by popular character and accepted rather easily/naively by the receiver. Each manga spans more than just a few chapters. The development of the pairings and individual characters, in my opinion, are well fleshed out.

In my opinion, these two manga are similar in so many ways, the list goes on and on! Both are BL manga featuring actors and portray similar character types in the main couples. Iwaki and Saijou are both dedicated to their acting career. Iwaki and Saijou are veterans in the acting world and are pursued by newcomers in their field. Even though Iwaki starts out in the AV industry and Saijou is a totally normal actor. Iwaki and Saijou are both older than their junior actors. Junta and Katou both have to try extra hard to show that they are seriously in love, even though it is with another man.
