If you liked Seitokai Yakuindomo add

...then you might like Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun add

Unless you live and die by perverted humor, Nozaki-kun is also adept at being a 4koma, and those who are fans of the rapid-fire pace of SYD would also like GSNK, even though the humor subject matter is different.

If you liked Half & Half add

...then you might like Magi no Okurimono add

Both are bittersweet romances that deal with love and death. However, Magi no Okurimono deals also with loss in a very mature fashion. If you were a fan of the bittersweet mood of Half & Half, you would also enjoy Magi no Okurimono. The length is comparable, and the art is just as fantastic as Seo Kouji's, if not more so.

If you liked Aku no Hana add

...then you might like Magi no Okurimono add

I won't claim that Magi no Okurimono is as dark or as avant-garde as Aku no Hana, because it isn't. But both mangaka use their art extremely well to excellent effect. Both also deal with romance and growing up, but whereas Aku no Hana is more psychological, Magi no Okurimono is more emotional. If you liked the non-psychological or non-avant-garde parts of Aku no Hana, Magi no Okurimono would be a good read.

If you liked Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso add

...then you might like Magi no Okurimono add

It's interesting to see how similar yet how different they are. Their true similarity lies in the order they do a specific thing, but that's a spoiler, so I won't go into that. These are still similar in that they're somber and bittersweet love stories. Whereas Shigatsu primarily deals with a one-sided love, Magi no Okurimono illustrates the development of a relationship and the grief that comes with death.

If you liked Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan add

...then you might like Magi no Okurimono add

Both are incredibly somber and bittersweet romance stories that deal with love, although they do it in very different ways. Magi no Okurimono uses the supernatural slightly to aid it in its story, but is ultimately less melodramatic than Shiawase na Jikan (not to say that it's bad, of course). If you liked the tone of Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan, you would do good to read Magi no Okurimono. The length is about the same, as well, and the mangaka can also pack a moving story in its volume.

If you liked Death Note add

...then you might like Ouroboros: Keisatsu wo Sabaku wa Ware ni Ari add

Admittedly, Death Note and Ouroboros are only similar at their core; they are both dark crime-drama manga series. However, both maintain this core really well. While Death Note uses the supernatural to explore man's dark nature (as well as its flawed protagonist), Ouroboros has realism and seinen-maturity on its side to do mostly the same. If you liked Death Note's atmosphere, Ouroboros would be a good fit.

If you liked Hajime no Ippo add

...then you might like Teppuu add

Both are amazing and violent sports manga with great art and a realistic depiction of the sport. Teppuu does MMA instead of boxing and has a minor school aspect, but still has a mentorship in the gym and a good rivalry. Natsuo is basically the opposite of Ippo in every aspect except for the fact that they are both strong, so it's a refreshing read coming from Ippo. Furthermore, the manga has legitimately interesting female characters that are not sexualized or used to develop another character. Highly recommend.

If you liked Onanie Master Kurosawa add

...then you might like Aku no Hana add

Both are somewhat chilling bildungsromans (coming of age stories) that deal with finding yourself and the dark aspects of school life. Unlike Kurosawa, Aku no Hana tops this off with amazing symbolism to add to its creepy atmosphere.
