The shows are set in an elite, prestigious school and the main characters are members of an association, also, one of the MC's are from an ordinary background in both stories. I would mostly recommend Kaguya-sama and OHSHC for rom-com fans who love the rich-poor trope since there is much emphasis on their class differences. However, I think anyone can enjoy these shows, both are an entertaining and hilarious watch with goofy teenage romance.

The stories have a similar atmosphere, I felt like they both revolve around grief. The storytelling is also quite alike with many retrospective scenes and the narrator is the FL in both. Plotwise there are not many similarities, but it's worth a watch for romance and drama fans.

The stories take place in the inner palace and the MLs have a hidden identity in both works. Plotwise, I wouldn't compare Apothecary diaries with AMMWC since there are hardly any similarities aside from the above two, but it is worth checking out both mangas. The protagonists are entertaining, likeable and well-written, the plot is exciting. As of now, Apothecary diaries is a more complex story with politics involved, while MM is an easier read full of hilarious moments.

The tropes are quite similar: an orphan girl moves in with a bunch of supernatural guys. Momochi house is a more light-hearted anime than Fruits Basket, the romance part is cute and overall, well executed in 12 episodes.

The vibe of the shows is quite alike, in both cases, the protagonists are members of an organization that aims to maintain order and peace among citizens and the plot develops with their missions. The Witch and the Beast is set in a fantasy world, the characters are super interesting and the art style is stunning, while Psycho-Pass is more of a sci-fi work. In my opinion, the story-telling is similar, I would recommend both animes for thriller and seinen enthusiasts.

Romantic Killer
|
Both stories are mostly light-hearted and entertaining with hilarious scenes. In Romantic Killer, the protagonist tries to not fall in love while in Kaguya-sama, the protagonists are trying to get a love confession from each other without actually confessing themselves, so, the mastermind strategies are present in both animes. I would recommend both to romance and comedy lovers.

There is a contractual relationship/alliance between a mortal and a divine creature in both animes. The stories have good pacing and the plot is great and eventful, there were no boring episodes in my opinion. Kamisama Kiss leans more into mythology, while Sugar Apple explores the relationship between fairies and humans, we can get a glimpse of it through the characters' life stories and as the plot develops further. Both animes are highly recommended for romance or fantasy lovers!

The vibes of the two manhwas are similar, both FLs are in the role of the villainess and their appearance is quite alike (their love rivals too). The family dynamics can also be paralleled since both their fathers are calculating people doing anything to maintain their good reputation. The romance plots are quite different in my opinion, and the main goals of the FLs differ greatly since one of them wants to die and the other one wants to survive. Both FLs are likeable characters, however, I liked KTV's ML more than ITQITL's. Some characters in both manhwas made my blood boil. KTV's main story is completed, but ITQITL is still ongoing. It's worth checking out both manhwas, both stories are great with very pretty art.

They both have pretty animation, the plots are somewhat similar - the characters' consciousness can swap bodies. In Your Name, the protagonists swap bodies, meanwhile in To Me, The One Who Loved You they are able to paralell shift between worlds. Both movies are love stories, but not sugary-syrupy kind of love, it was more realistic imo. I recommend watching To Me, The One Who Loved You first, then To Every You I Loved Before (same story, different pov) to get the full picture, but the movies are enjoyable on their own as well.

Both of them revolve around ,,marriage of convenience with the cold Duke of the North" trope, MLs appearances are quite similar. I would say that How to win my husband... touches darker topics throughout the story, I am invested in how it will turn out. Marriage of convenience is completed, the plot is well executed and the romance part is adorable. Overall, both stories are entertaining and interesting with a beautiful art style, I would recommend them to anyone who likes historical romances.

Both protagonists serve in the inner palace and solve mysteries. Raven of the inner palace is more about supernatural entities, while in Apothecary diaries the solutions are based on logic and Maomao's medical knowledge. The animation is great at both animes. Apothecary diaries is more light-hearted in comparison to Raven of the inner palace, which is a little bit darker, but both are entertaining.

Both of the stories are about vampires, the art styles are amazing. The characters are really complex in both Olgami and White Blood, I personally liked how the plot couldn't be predicted, the twists were great. The pacing is good as well. Olgami is a little darker overall imo.

Orange

The circumstances of the protagonists are pretty similar, in Erased, the main character goes back in time to prevent murders, while in Orange, the main character tries to prevent the death of her friend. Both animes have great pacing, the characters are really likeable, and the friendships are sweet and moving. Orange is more about romance than Erased tho.
