If you liked Akagami no Shirayuki-hime add

...then you might like Joou no Hana add

Although Akagami no Shirayuki-hime has a very light-hearted setting and Joou no Hana becomes more serious and twisted as the plot goes on, both manga have a "royal" setting with some politics. Furtermore, both manga have an intelligent, strong and independent female lead who does her best to reach a certain goal, and a male lead who supports them from behind.

If you liked Toshokan Sensou add

...then you might like Psycho-Pass add

They both deal with the government restricting society in a way. In Psycho-Pass, it happens because of the Sybil System, and in Library Wars, through excessive censorship. I can't guarantee that if you like one, you'll like the other one too, though. They're both very different in terms of execution. Library Wars is a lot more light-hearted and adds a bit of romance. Psycho Pass is a lot more heavy and serious. Freedom is also less restricted in Library Wars, where they only restrict media, whereas in Psycho Pass, the Sybil System controls everything. But if you're looking for something that deals with human rights and free will, you might as will give one of these a try.

If you liked Saiunkoku Monogatari add

...then you might like Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii add

While watching Soredemo Sekai, I kept thinking about how similar it was to Saiunkoku. Both anime are set in an alternative universe. The female leads are strong-willed and amazing. One of them is a fallen noble who's so poor she accepts the offer of becoming the good-for-nothing emperor's concubine in exchange for a lot of money. The other one has to become the wife of the king who's rumored to be some kind of monster who ruled the world (but he's actually a precocious brat who has lost his trust in the world). They both help the king/emperor grow as a ruler and as a person while growing themselves. And this might not be relevant, but both anime have one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard.

If you liked Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World add

...then you might like Ojiisan no Lamp add

Both anime focus more on the atmosphere than the story. They're the kind of anime that make you think about things. Ojii-san no Lamp is a short movie/single episode about dealing with the change that comes with time. A recurring theme in Kino no Tabi is how the world is always changing.

If you liked Natsume Yuujinchou add

...then you might like Stand Up! add

Okay, this might sound a bit strange: story-wise, these mangas have almost nothing in common at all (although the friendship in Stand Up seems similar to that in Natsume). Natsume is a supernatural slice of life focusing on friendship and loneliness, Stand Up is a romance slice of life that focuses on insecurity and romance. But while reading Stand Up, I couldn't help but be reminded of Natsume Yuujinchou. I don't know what it was, maybe it's that both manga are very heartwarming and down-to-earth. The atmosphere is similar and both are just incredibly good. So if you like stories like Natsume Yuujinchou but would like some romance too, give Stand Up a try.

If you liked Haruyuki Bus add

...then you might like Stand Up! add

Haruyuki Bus is a collection of one shots, but the best one I've ever read. The overall atmosphere is really similar to Stand Up. They're both not your typical shoujo (even people who usually don't like shoujo manga would love these, I think). Both manga are incredibly sweet and heartwarming, and I bet that if you like one, you'd love the other one too.

If you liked Cat Street add

...then you might like Nineteen, Twenty-One add

I feel these manga are really similar, and it's not just the cats. Both manga have this melancholic air in the beginning, as they are about a girl who has lost years of her life (Keiko became a hikkikomori and hasn't left her room for 7 years, whereas Yun-lee lost 2 years due to a coma). They meet a guy who helps them pick up their lives again, and there's slow-paced romance in both manga. Cat street focuses more on acting and socializing though, whereas Nineteen, Twenty-one focuses on helping the stray cats.

If you liked Hajime no Ippo add

...then you might like Baby Steps add

Even though HnI is about boxing and Baby Steps focuses on tennis, they're quite similar: - the protagonists are nice guys, but a bit wimpy, and complete beginners; - they meet a person who introduces them to the sport and inspires them; - they join a club outside of school; - they both have a rival to whom they look up to; - they're both in love with a certain girl; - they do have talent, but get their results through hard work.

If you liked Saruyama! add

...then you might like Stand Up! add

I like how both manga are really cute, refreshing and non-cliche. Also, in both manga the main character and her love interest are about the same height. Also, both manga focus more on couple growth instead of making a fuss about confessing.

If you liked Hiyokoi add

...then you might like HajiOtsu. add

The heroines are very shy and cute and both manga deals with them having their first loves.

If you liked Natsume Yuujinchou add

...then you might like Ojiisan no Lamp add

"Beautiful" is the word I'd choose to describe both stories. They both leave you with this heartwarming, happy feeling. Ojiisan no Lamp is a lot shorter than Natsume though.

If you liked Kamichu! add

...then you might like Kamisama Hajimemashita add

Both anime are about a girl who suddenly becomes a deity. They're both cute, slow-paced and deal with granting wishes.

If you liked Toradora! add

...then you might like Gosick add

Even though Toradora is more Slice of Life whereas Gosick is Mystery, the main characters are really similar: there's a main guy whom eveybody thinks is scary because of his appearance when in reality he's kind-hearted and soft, and a main girl who's tiny but rude and treats the main guy like her servant. The main girl has problems with her father in both anime (though the situations are very different).

If you liked Peace Maker Kurogane add

...then you might like Hakuouki: Reimeiroku add

Both anime involve the Shinsengumi and a main character who's been through a lot when he was young (Ryunosuke and Tetsunosuke). The main characters start out as wimps but slowly get more mature as they spend more time with the Shinsengumi. Oh, and both shows have a maiko girl who's special to the main character.

If you liked Bakuman. add

...then you might like Hanasaku Iroha add

In both anime series the main characters are really hardworking and busy, trying to make their dreams come true. Both are slice of life, comedy and drama with friendship and romance playing an important part.

If you liked K-On!! add

...then you might like Chihayafuru add

The plot wasn't really similar (in K-On, it's about a band, and in Chihayafuru, it's about competitive karuta), but it still had the same atmosphere. Both main characters are similar in some ways. They both have a dream they want to achieve (in K-On, it's playing in a band, in Chihayafuru, it's to become the karuta Queen). They're both cheerful and air-headed. Also, in both anime, a few friends start a club and try to get more members (they're not always successful though).

If you liked Hiyokoi add

...then you might like Hibi Chouchou add

Both manga involve really shy girls. Both are slow-paced and have this warm, cosy feeling.

If you liked Bitter Virgin add

...then you might like Koizora: Setsunai Koimonogatari add

Both are really tragic romance manga. In both manga, the main girl has been raped, which leads to similar events. The main guy is there to help them. Both manga have this bittersweet feel to them.

If you liked Kagetora add

...then you might like Shinobi Life add

There is a shinobi, called Kagetora in both manga, who falls in love with the one he has to protect, so it's a forbidden love. There are a few differences though. Kagetora is shounen, while Shinobi Life is shoujo, but they're both romance anime. And in Shinobi Life, there's time traveling. They're both very good and if you like Kagetora, you'll like Shinobi Life too.

If you liked Girl in Heels add

...then you might like Hibi Chouchou add

Both girls are extremely pretty and get a lot of attention from boys (in Hibi Chouchou, the girls also admire her, whereas in Girl in Heels, the girls think she's an attention-seeker). This caused them to have a somewhat emotionless or cold personality.

If you liked Cynical Orange add

...then you might like Ao Haru Ride add

Both girls are considered very pretty and because of that, they are misunderstood and ostracized by the girls (and receive a lot of attention from boys) and have trouble with the one they like.

If you liked Cynical Orange add

...then you might like Girl in Heels add

Both manhwa have girls who are very pretty, which causes them to have a lot of attention from boys and no real (female) friends. The personality of both girls is very similar. They are both very strong and a bit cold. If you like Girls in Heels, you'l like Cynical Orange, too.

If you liked Beast Master add

...then you might like Suki, Tokoro ni yori Arashi. add

The 2nd story immediately made me think of Beast Master. Both manga are about a boy who seems dangerous (and everyone's afraid of him) and a girl who gets to know him, and eventually falls in love with him. Also, they have very similar art. Suki, Tokoro ni Yori Arashi is a lot shorter though, since it's a one shot.

If you liked Stardust★Wink add

...then you might like Kimi no Tonari de Seishunchuu. add

Both girls have very good-looking, popular childhood friends. At first, the main girls both don't believe that a relationship between childhood friends will work out, but in later chapters they fall for them. However in Stardust Wink, Anna has two childhood friends, and there is a love triangle, while Miu (KTS) only has one.

If you liked Bokura ga Ita add

...then you might like Crazy for You add

The main girl falls in love with a boy who can't forget another girl. Also, both manga have a lot of love triangles. Both have lots of drama and a similar feel.

If you liked Tsubasa Chronicle add

...then you might like Deltora Quest add

Both anime have a group traveling together to find something very important (Feathers/memories in TC, gems in DQ). They meet a lot of people or creatures during their journey. Also, in both anime the boy and the girl are each other's love interest.

If you liked Shiawase Kissa 3-choume add

...then you might like Hiyokoi add

Both mangas are about a girl who is very short for her age so she gets mistaken for an elementary school kid. Both are very cute, and I think that if you like SKS, you'll like Hiyokoi too.
