Both show insights to the life of idols and their hardships they encounter and their motivations to become idols despite those. Shady business behind the scenes is also a theme. Oshi no Ko also shows other parts of showbiz (reality TV, child acting careers, etc.), while AKB49 solely focuses on the jpop idol group AKB48.

Komi-san wa, Comyushou desu.

Communication problems depicted in two ways: - in Koe no Katachi: deaf girl getting bullied by MC with redemption arc (serious, deals with mental illness) - in Komi: Komi is afraid to speak (not mute) and MC tries to befirend her, thus making her open up more to others (very light-hearted, wholesome; focus on comedy + romance) Both have problems making friends because of their conditions. I like to see Komi-san wa Comyushou desu as what Koe no Katachi would be like, if the MC had tried to know and understand her better by befriending her slowly, instead of bullying her lol
