So refreshing. Similar art style as well. Very, very beautiful art and very tasteful and sweet. The author pays attention to small details and the dialogue isn't cheesy even though there's romance involved. Every sentence is purposeful. It's just gorgeous. I think those who enjoyed this would also enjoy Yuki no Shita given the same refreshing clear feeling and the same grown-up/josei tasteful feeling.

The art style is very similar. Same refreshing feeling and the characters look younger than they actually are. I like how in one, the MC is a writer and in the other, the MCs are both photographers. It gives off the same refreshing feeling and the art is very beautiful. Both manga deal with estranged family members and themes of reconciliation. In both stories, one MC lives on a rural island whereas the love interest lives on the mainland/big city and take a ferry to get to the island.

Although they are two different genres, this shoujo is different in the sense that it's quite comedic although it does have its serious moments. The same kind of sense of comedy and art style is found in Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun for sure.

Same sense of humour and same art style. Mei Sengoku reminds me a lot of Seo/Kashima in terms of their personalities. Gekkan is funnier but Mizutama has more fleshed out characters and more of a linear plotline.

If you liked Yozora no Sumikko de, add

I've been looking for a very long time for something that approximates the style of Kii Kanna's work and I have to say that Yozora no Sumikko de comes closest. The artwork in both is just gorgeous. I sometimes pause and re-read pages over and over to admire the details and there's also a very fresh and spontaneous feeling to it. They're both about finding domestic bliss and they're both fairly realistic. I like it when the MCs have realistic reactions to events.

If you liked Hana nomi zo Shiru add

...then you might like Yuki no Shita no Qualia add

I really enjoyed both titles but I'd have to say I prefer Yuki no Shita no Qualia only for Kii Kanna and her art. Same refreshing atmosphere and very wholesome. The MCs share an interest in plants and botany and plants are often used in the way of symbolism. Very cute.

If you liked Hana nomi zo Shiru add

...then you might like Umibe no Étranger add

I can't believe this hasn't been recommended yet. Same refreshing art style and same type of nostalgic airy feeling. I prefer Umibe no Etranger slightly more though because the storyline is more cohesive and it's cuter in a way as well. That necklace and that creepy stalker guy in Hana nomi seems shoe-horned in unnaturally.

If you liked Yozora no Sumikko de, add

...then you might like Umibe no Étranger add

Both Yozora and Umibe no Etranger are very underrated and I'm surprised they don't have a wider readership. The art style in both are unique and help give a really refreshing and nostalgic feeling to the work. Both feature BL but it's relatively healthy and consensual and the focus is not on the BL part. I really enjoyed both titles.

If you liked Hiiro no Isu add

...then you might like Yozora no Sumikko de, add

It has a very similar art style and gives off an incredibly similar fuzzy feeling of nostalgia. They're both very wholesome in their own way as well. Hiiro no Isu is fantasy and Yozora no Sumikko de is slice of life but the atmosphere and feeling you get from reading them both are the same. That feeling of hopefulness as well.
