If you liked Adachi to Shimamura add

...then you might like Yagate Kimi ni Naru: Saeki Sayaka ni Tsuite add

Both titles have the same author, and both deal with high school girls figuring out for the first time that they are attracted to someone of the same sex. Both have very nice artistic visual pages that fit into the chapters, and both feature very intimate moments that tug at the heartstrings and stick with you.

If you liked Violet Evergarden add

...then you might like Arte add

Both series have similar appearing protagonists, both of whom are independent young women who are looking to explore human emotions through developing their technical and artistic skills. Both series also take place in pre-modern European-style settings, although Arte is more pre-industrial. Both have little if any sexualization--the protagonists carry the story with their personalities and principles rather than with their chests.

If you liked Sword Art Online add

...then you might like Itai no wa Iya nanode Bougyoryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu. add

Bofuri is basically SAO if SAO was fun and light-hearted rather than serious and deadly. It's fun and relaxing to watch, and has a lot of cute and kind characters. While SAO makes me hesitant to want to enjoy anything virtual reality (even though the implications are pretty far-fetched and unrealistic), Bofuri makes me wish that deep dive virtual reality MMO's really did exist. Both are good for different reasons and purposes.

If you liked Yuru Camp△ add

...then you might like Koisuru Asteroid add

Koisuru Asteroid, and Yuru Campare both cute and warm, and both series follow the school-club adventures of a young and cute all-female cast in a way that is very innocent and not sexualized. Yuru Camp is much better in almost every way, whether we are talking about animation, character development, or story. Koisuru Asteroid is also a little more explicitly yuri at times, which is not necessarily bad, but may turn off some viewers. Overall, however, Koisuru Asteroid still has very cute and endearing moments.

If you liked Tsurezure Children add

...then you might like Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo. add

I got a similar vibe from both of these titles. Araburu doesn't have the short-vignette style like Tsurezure, but it features adolescent girls dealing with relationships and sex for the first time in their lives. Both have very sweet and uplifting moments, but I think Araburu is even better due to its format and ability to develop characters. The drama is more complicated and interesting.

If you liked Clannad add

...then you might like Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai add

When I tell people about Bunny Girl Senpai I describe it as "similar to Clannad but with a little more lewdness." There is a male protagonist who helps out several young women around him, mostly at school, but underlying the narrative is a journey that he himself is taking that makes him question his existence. There are also supernatural elements in both stories that afflict the girls he is trying to help. There is a lot of heart, and you may shed some tears if you get emotional over drama easily like I do.
