If you liked Usotsuki na Kimi no Toriko add

...then you might like Don't Cry Baby add

The “I can’t leave you because you look vulnerable no matter how tough you act” concept is highlighted. Tsundere uke with a heartbreak-triggered habit of sleeping around with different men crosses paths with younger seme whose job is to put up with uke’s willfulness, convince uke to move on from a failed love, and of course, win uke’s heart.

If you liked Kimi ni shika Kikoenai add

...then you might like Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan add

Despite having different settings and plot events, both are heartbreaking masterpieces about short-lived happiness and a love that cannot be realized due to a harsh twist of fate. Be sure to prepare loads of tissues, buckets of tears are most likely to fall.

If you liked 1K Apartment no Koi add

...then you might like Corporate House e Youkoso add

Male x male romances between apartment tenants.

If you liked Kanashii Kotoba add

...then you might like Kimi no Koe ga Kikitai add

Mute uke with a troubled past, themes concerning family issues, and sketchy art are what these works both have in common.

If you liked Harem☆Lodge add

...then you might like Anta nante Okotowari! add

Female lead finds herself living in a boarding house filled with male weirdos, one of which is the guy she eventually falls for. Comedy and romance ensue.

If you liked Kimi ga Koi ni Oboreru add

...then you might like Kayashimashi no Yuugana Seikatsu add

Ukes Reiichirou and Sumito share quite a number of traits: poker-faced, stoic, straightforward, naive, young master of a rich family. Both titles have very pretty art.

If you liked Shining Tears X Wind add

...then you might like World Destruction: Sekai Bokumetsu no Rokunin add

Adapted from SEGA RPGs.

If you liked Yotsuba to! add

...then you might like Shinryaku! Ika Musume add

Curious cute little girl doing cute stuff in the strangest way possible is the premise of these comedy manga both catering to the male demographic (whether Yotsuba is seinen or shounen is still arguable so let's generalize that). Art in both are greatly similar to one another - simple yet appealing.

If you liked X: Kai add

...then you might like Stigma add

Both are psychological manga employing morbid themes such as murder, corruption, and dark, traumatic pasts. The main character in each becomes the caretaker of a homeless kid whom he learns the significance of life from. While not really classified as BL, there are a few scenes that could come off as BL-ish but nothing too heavy and intolerable to the genre’s non-fans.

If you liked Sore wa Isshun no Hikari, dewa Naku add

...then you might like Cherry add

Thunder-phobic ukes.

If you liked No Bra add

...then you might like Aoi Destruction! add

Shounen series with a mix of ecchi and genderbending elements. Highschooler male lead somehow ends up living with a cross-dresser/feminine guy who, at several points in the manga, causes him sexual temptations (deliberately in No Bra, otherwise in Aoi Destruction!).

If you liked Ginchou Kidan add

...then you might like Ou to Hiyaku ~Keisei Kobanashi~ add

Historical yaoi manga centering around pavilions and male prostitution.

If you liked Silence add

...then you might like Junjou add

Proper communication is lacking in the relationship. Uke harbors feelings for seme which he believes are only one-sided while seme secretly likes uke back but refuses to admit it as he is either unsure of his feelings or is wanting to make uke realize by himself that their feelings are mutual. Hence, they start off with a mere physical relationship. Large doses of angst present.

If you liked Vampire Knight add

...then you might like Hakuouki add

Hakuouki is like an Edo era version of Vampire Knight. The Rasetsu, humans (originally) that turn into blood-crazed demons possessing extraordinary strength and are after the heroine's "special" kind of blood at several points in the show, strongly resemble the Level Es of VK. Both are reverse harem anime produced by Studio DEEN.

If you liked Crystal Harem add

...then you might like Uchi no Tantei Shirimasen ka? add

Stubbled seme x seductive uke. Both focus on detective work.

If you liked Aruku Hito add

...then you might like PositioN add

Slice of life titles that live for idyllic scenery.

If you liked Kimi wo Watareba add

...then you might like Akatsuki no Fumi add

The concept of time travel is highlighted. Present day boy meets a person who gets time warped from past to present Japan and together they develop a close bond of friendship. Do note however that Kimi wo Watareba is yaoi so the relationship between the male leads predictably goes further beyond just innocent friendship unlike in Akatsuki no Fumi which is a josei, non-BL manga. Endings are very alike.

If you liked Hakushaku Cain Series add

...then you might like Kuroshitsuji add

Victorian England setting, nobleman and butler / master and servant relationship between the main characters, mysterious crimes occurring in town, gothic atmosphere, fascinating plot twists - both share these elements although The Cain Saga retains a higher, much graphic degree of violence and grotesqueness.

If you liked Otokomae! Beads Club add

...then you might like Rose and Violet add

Headstrong female protagonist is forced to join the school's student council and wounds up falling in love with the council president.

If you liked 24 Colors: Hatsukoi no Palette add

...then you might like Boku no Koi no Hanashi Himegoto add

Since both are from opposing genres, this would most likely work for readers who are shoujo fans and at the same time, are into (or at least can tolerate) boys love and vice versa. Or those who simply like to see artistic characters in what they read regardless of genre for that matter. The similarity lies in both titles having protagonists with a passion for painting and that passion enables them to get closer to their respective love interests. Both are somewhat cliched albeit still charming school life romance manga with pretty and soothing art.

If you liked Soba ni Oitene add

...then you might like Kakko Warukute Kakkoii Kimi add

Couple are childhood friends with one being the taller uke and the other the shorter seme. Basically, height issues.

If you liked Hatsuai add

...then you might like Ousama ni Kiss! add

School life plus quirky and demanding ukes.

If you liked Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei add

...then you might like Arakawa Under the Bridge add

Beware of the addictive mindscrew.

If you liked Innocent☆Maze add

...then you might like Breath add

Strong brother complex between twins can be seen although Breath portrays darker situations of obsessive sibling love whereas Innocent Maze is much more comedic in nature.

If you liked Touhou Shinigami: Meteor Methuselah Gaiden add

...then you might like Akaboshi: Ibun Suikoden add

Fantasy adventures set in China featuring kick-ass leads. Character designs and overall art are wonderfully detailed.

If you liked My Girl add

...then you might like Flat add

Touching stories about how a simple meeting with a child brings forth significant difference into the everyday life of an adult. While My Girl leans more on melancholy, flat concentrates on lighthearted comedy. They are both cute and nice slice of life reads nonetheless.

If you liked Koisuru Boukun add

...then you might like Kirai ja Nai kedo add

Treats for those who are fond of tsundere ukes that can't easily be tamed. Also, for those who are interested in the drama cds, both have the sexy Toriumi Kousuke voice for one of the leads in them.

If you liked Ano Hi no Kimi wo Dakishimeta nara add

...then you might like Sentimental Garden Lover add

Physically abused uke finds comfort in the arms of a protective seme. Art-wise, both titles are sketchy and soft to the eyes which helps give off a more gentle appeal to the reader.

If you liked D.Gray-man add

...then you might like Witch Hunter add

Aside from the fact that Tasha Godspell screams Allen Walker, these two shounen series share a similar feel in a sense that both contain a considerable amount of badassery, humor, and an interesting gothic storyline.

If you liked Sakende Yaruze! add

...then you might like Boku no Koe add

Both tackle seiyuu x seiyuu romance. If you have a thing for voice actors and BL drama cds, these two may pique your interest.
