Kageki Shoujo!!

Both series are driven by the development their characters through fairly niche themes (soft-tennis for HoshiSora and Takarazuka Revue for Kageki Shoujo!!). Care is taken when exploring each characters' backstories and diverse personalities, even when bringing up difficult topics such as abuse. If HoshiSora left you yearning for more of the budding friendships between troubled characters despite all of their differences, but want a more lighthearted experience: try watching Kageki Shoujo!! If you enjoyed the drama and darker themes found in Kageki Shoujo and want more of that, but still also want a cute ensemble cast (including two contrasting main protagonists) who gradually learn to get along: give Hoshiai no Sora a go.

Golden Kamuy

Dungeon Meshi is to fantasy ecology as Golden Kamuy is to Ainu culture, making for a refreshing take on the adventure genre and its integration of certain nonfiction elements that make the worlds in each series feel more real/believable. While their plots differ, both have fun characters and incorporate interesting cooking/food preparation elements paired with a good sense of comedic timing throughout. Neither are completely slapstick and are able to deal with more serious themes, storylines and character development without losing their more carefree charm (although Dungeon Meshi is generally more lighthearted overall).
