If you liked Sora wa Akai Kawa no Hotori add

...then you might like Akatsuki no Yona add

These both are so similar that I'm surprised no one has made this recommendation yet. At the surface level, one can easily point out that they both are strongly historical, romance, shoujo genre. Although they have various minor differences, there is a certain vibe that both contain. They both consist of a weak protagonist that grows stronger as each chapter passes and their romantic interests are overly protective (leading to a balance with the males stepping in to help once in a while and the protagonist actually doing stuff by herself). There is a lot of different characters with different interests driving the story. With this, the main characters are stuck in the crossfire and are forced to navigate their way around the politics to survive. I must mention that Red River is definitely more dated, less character backstory, and the plot picks up slower than Yona, but Yona's romantic scenes aren't as intense and she's less interested in dealing with the politics (from what I can see as of now). But overall, both we are a satisfying read if you're looking for balanced romantic couple series with pretty badass protagonists.

If you liked Ciel add

...then you might like Kimera add

Both manga feature a strong (and notably beautiful) protagonist that undergoes angst already starting in the beginning; thus, the first few chapters feel similar (girl with a happy upbringing experience sudden crisis and is forced to leave). In addition, both are labelled fantasy and have a historical feel (Ciel> Kimera) to them (mostly because of the village settings and the outfit styles). Ciel tends to be more lighthearted and less bloody. Kimera has a quicker pace and could easily be enjoyed by all (it balances the action and romance).

If you liked Magical x Miracle add

...then you might like Shounen Oujo add

*spoilers, duh* Each involve a protagonist that takes the place of a celebrated icon (the princess in Shounen Oujo and the famous magician in Magical[forgot the exact position, haven't read it in a long time]). The tone in Shounen is much more serious and it focuses on conflicts such as uprisings and royal politics while Magical stretches day-to-day magical lessons and is a little more light-hearted. Both are increasingly concerned with concealing the swap in identity; however, Shounen presents more dire consequences starting right at the beginning.
