If you liked T.R.A.P. add

...then you might like 15: Meisetsu Kougyou Koukou Rugby-bu add

Both are sports manga, (15 being rugby and t.r.a.p. being soccer) though t.r.a.p. has slight supernatural twist to it. The target for both manga are the same: to reach the pinnacle of their sport in highschool - to reach the nationals/hanazono. Both mains have a cute personality and childlike appearance that catches everyone off-guard when it's discovered how skillful they are with their sport. Ebina (of 15) and Igarashi (of t.r.a.p.) also have similar personalities and have a corresponding relationship with the mains of both manga. Both manga even have a similar general style regarding how the chapters pan out the plot as well.

If you liked Dear Boys add

...then you might like Kuroko no Basket add

Stating the obvious first, both are about basketball. In this regard both deal with the theme of basketball played for fun opposed to the sole purpose of basketball being to win. Aikawa (of Dear Boys) and Kuroko (of KnB) are both characters that come from a school renowned for its basketball team and both essentially "abandon" their old teams to start anew in order to play competitive basketball which is also fun. Ignoring the stark personality differences between Aikawa and Kuroko, they're in similar positions that make them the same. They both are well respected by their former teammates and considered something similar to childhood friends who've seen different sides to them that their current teams haven't seen. Both are also set up to face their former teammates in order to succeed in their goals. While the art of Dear Boys can't even compare to KnB's (considering it's an older anime) it's still enjoyable to watch and worth giving a chance.
