Similar vibes of a story about two people who are reincarnated together. Both have a mix of fantasy, battle, and school life. In Shuuen no Elysion, the two people remembered their past. While in Yakumo Tatsu, they did not regain their past life memories until much later. Also, slight BL hint.

Both of those are by Watanabe Taeko, so they have similar art style. While the settings are different, both have that warm and emotional feeling.

If you liked Gokinjo Monogatari add

Although aim at different age groups, I find the protagonist of both manga very similar: they are both meticulous, driven, and ambitious women. They both work in the fashion industry. However, their roles are different: Mikako (Gokinjo Monogatari) is a designer, while Amano (Real Clothes) is a "buyer" for the woman clothes section in a department store.

Though the atmosphere is different, both stories talk about life after death.

If you liked xxxHOLiC add

...then you might like Tsurebito add

Although the stories itself are not similar, I find that the message of Tsurebito is similar to some of the messages in xxxHolic: the value of life, the grief of death, and the importance of the emotional connection between people.

If you liked Shinya Shokudou add

...then you might like Wakako-zake add

I instantly think of Shinya Shokudou when I read Wakako-zake. They are both centered around food, with one dish per chapter. Wakako-zake is like a reverse of Shinya Shokudou, where the main character goes around to eat different dishes. Wakako-zake is more simple, and only focuses on food, while Shinya Shokudou fleshes out the stories of the customers.

If you liked xxxHOLiC add

...then you might like Natsume Yuujinchou add

Both stories involve a young male in high school who has the ability to see things that others cannot see. Then, they meet with an extremely powerful being, and through the adventures that they experienced, they change their perspectives and build meaningful relationships with others. The difference is that Natsume Yuujinchou has a more gentle and warm feeling, while xxxHolic is more thrilling and mysterious.

If you liked Kimi no Na wa. add

...then you might like Orange add

The piece about "going back in time" and trying to save someone really reminds me of Orange. There is a similarity in the feeling of hoping that things will turn out the way you wished and the tuck in the heart while you wait for the ending.

Both of the stories revolve around previous lives and reincarnation of a group of people. Melancholic Princess is set in China, while PSME is set in Japan/space. Both have a very pretty female character, and good looking guys.

Both manga uses elements from Japanese legends and religion. The way that Hana (Gate 7) and Kuraki (Yakumo Tatsu) fight is very similar. Both has a mysterious and spiritual atmosphere to it.

If you liked Basara add

...then you might like Crystal☆Dragon add

Both started with the village being destroyed by the enemy. In Crystal Dragon, the main female character was a druid apprentice. While in Basara, the main female took the role of her twin brother. Both girls went on an adventure to take revenge/ fulfill their "destiny", and got into some romance with the main antagonist (aka their enemy). Story-telling style is similar: both have a mystical air.

If you liked Hachimitsu to Clover add

...then you might like Gokinjo Monogatari add

Both of the manga are about art students. In Gokinjo Monogatari, Mikako is a an aspiring fashion designer; while the groups of characters in Hachimitsu to Clover are more of traditional fine art students. Although the age is a little different, Gokinjo Monogatari being about high school student, while Hachimitsu to Clover characters are in college, both manga explore aspects of school, love (mutual and unrequited), friendship, growing up, and parting.
