The themes are all to similar despite both being unique to itself. The characters affected by the Anime conflict in both are youth. The children from both Anime realize in horror that something is extremely wrong but one wrong move will reveal their knowledge. The children have to continue on no matter who they might lose along the way. Both share the similar horror themes of children and a system pinned against them.

These two series show the horrors of monster and who the monster truly is. It shows us viewers multiple perspectives through the "monsters" perspective as well as the "human monster" perspective. As such, viewers can't pin the blame on anyone, neither is it easy to find a solution. Both main characters are young men who find themselves blamed for story conflicts and must overcome this. Must. Both Anime will play with the strings of your heart in a similar manner and both Anime will leave you endlessly thinking.

Both Mieruko-chan and Shinreigari merge into the concepts of the modern human world and spiritual world colliding. Although in Shinreigari there is no fanservice and it doesn't focus on the high school city life but it still gives you a similar feeling of adrenaline, despite the plot if Shinreigari taking place in a small town. A small warning though, they are from different decades and Shinreigari focuses more on the internal demons aspect and less on the supernatural horror of living amongst spirits. I believe both Anime will give you a similar feeling of a racing heart.

Fragtime

Although fragtime is a movie while citrus is a series they both dive into the same topics. unlike alot of wlw/shoujo ai anime that is usually more wholesome, both fragtime and citrus dive into dark topics. Both couples go through a lot of character development all throughout each anime, in the end both couples go from strangers to people who understand each other. in both anime the couples are teenagers/students and both face issues that affect them a lot mentally. in both anime there is the "perfect, well kept" girl who tends to distance herself from others that somehow falls in love with the other. both citrus and fragtime explore the topics of attraction, teen issues, and both explore the idea of hiding behind a mask. both haruka and mei eventually face situations where they cant hide behind their mask anymore and their feelings/emotions leak through the cracks of their masks. in both anime, there are scenes where their love interests are trying to reach out to them in hard times. the issues of acceptance from peers/family that are ripping them apart on the inside, their feelings are their dark secrets. their true selves, hidden behind masks. In each anime, in the end their masks are gone. they no longer need to hide behind their mask anymore when they are together. fragtime is a bit more mature then citrus in terms of sexuality but even so, both anime are run on encountering problems and trying to find the resolution, even if that resolution is something they could've never imagined themselves doing. if you liked citrus i'd recommend watching fragtime because you will find similar themes and alot of the same issues, even if they are in different universes/genres.
