If you liked Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World add

...then you might like Sousou no Frieren add

Kino and Frieren, calm and capable, are travelers on a journey, sometimes helping people they encounter on their travels. They observe people, the culture, how they live, but never get swept up by it, sticking to their own way of living. Both series have a laidback atmosphere with the occasional battle, and make one consider the ephemerality of life and how precious it is. The stories they hear, the people they meet, the relationships they build however long or brief, the lessons they learn along the way, all become treasured memories.

If you liked Hunter x Hunter add

...then you might like Sousou no Frieren add

A lively and expansive world that is imaginative as it is dangerous, where it takes one's cunning, wits, and magic/Nen to survive.

Both manga have distinct character designs, featuring people and other species from different walks of life.

...then you might like Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru add

Yoichi Hiruma and Haiji Kiyose are the de facto leaders of their teams, determined to achieve their lofty goals of winning the Christmas Bowl and running the Hakone Ekiden Marathon, respectively. And they'll do whatever it takes to coerce their teammates to join them to their cause through (largely comical) psychological manipulation or plain old blackmail. Both teams are made up of a ragtag group with a strong sense of camaraderie, whom no one would expect to make it past the first tournament.

If you liked Aria add

Both Chise and Watanuki are plagued by their ability to see spirits/monsters. They both encounter a wise and powerful sorcerer, Elias and Yuuko who teach them magic and how to deal with otherworldly creatures.

If you liked Noragami add

...then you might like Usotoki Rhetoric add

Yato and Souma have similar personalities: poor, yearning to be rich and famous for their job but not wanting to work hard for it, and mooching off their friends, but can be perceptive and serious when needed. Hiyori and Kanoko, the female leads, usually have to whip them back into shape before their laziness overtakes them. Both have fantastical elements, Noragami being an urban fantasy and Usotoki Rheotric a historical one.

Despite the fact that they've been shunned and despised by people, both are kind-hearted and willing to help others. It's not until they meet Detective Souma Iwai (for Kanoko) and Nyanko-sensei(for Natsume) that they see their abilities can be used to help the people around them and begin to find people they can confide and trust in.

These two series have a good mix of funny and dramatic and love to lampshade and lampoon Shojo tropes. The two lead heroines are fiercely loyal to their friends and not afraid to speak their minds which gets them in trouble from time to time.

If you liked Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan add

...then you might like Meteor Methuselah add

Rurouni Kenshin and Immortal Rain both begin with the female deuteragonist attacking the eponymous character. Kaoru and Machika learn later on who they really are and gradually fall in love with them. Kenshin and Rain are usually easy-going, goofy, clumsy, and very, very kind, but will become serious and ready to defend those important to them. Both have a dark past and enemies who they must confront if it means living peacefully with those who have become like a family to them.

If you liked Howl no Ugoku Shiro add

...then you might like Mahoutsukai no Yome: Hoshi Matsu Hito add

If you liked Space☆Dandy add

Two lighthearted and delightful reads set in high school with the protagonists from their respective series, Chiyo and Natsuki dealing with their one-sided crushes. Both series are drawn cleanly and beautifully and contain a loveable bunch of supporting characters, bound to make you smile.

If you liked Kuroshitsuji add

...then you might like Gisèle Alain add

The protagonists from both series are children with a wealthy background who take charge of their own lives and help others. Although, Gisele Alain is more slice-of-life historical than Kuroshitsuji's supernatural historical. The art for both series is very detailed and beautiful to look at, and vividly depicts the fashion, furniture, buildings, and scenery of Victorian France for Gisele Alain and Victorian England for Kuroshitsuji.

If you liked Zoids add

Sakamichi no Apollon and Ping Pong the Animation feature two bespectacled protagonists, Kaoru and Smile who are taciturn and withdrawn but have a skill and passion brought out by catalyst characters Sentarou and Peco. Sakamichi's common theme may be Jazz and Ping Pong's ping pong however, it's not about the topic itself, it's about people, their ambitions, their challenges, their relationships with others, and why they play.

If you liked Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan add

...then you might like Ansatsu Kyoushitsu add

Kenshin and Koro-sensei were destructive monsters in the past, but in present day, changed themselves to help the people around them. However, their lives are targeted by people from their past as well as new enemies made in the present. The supporting characters in both series learn from and are influenced by the aforementioned protagonists and have their own battles to face. An important theme in both series is an emphasis on not killing but disabling your opponent in order to defend yourself and those important to you.

If you liked Hyouka add

...then you might like Amagi Brilliant Park add

Under the same director and animation studio, we are presented with a bored, cynical, and generally unsociable male protagonist who is largely uninvolved with his high school life until his encounter with the eccentric and emphatic female protagonist whose request for help pulls them into an adventure they would never have experienced otherwise. Initially, both protagonists are reluctant to help, but continue to find themselves becoming more and more involved and even attached to the people he made friends with.

If you liked Tennis no Oujisama add

...then you might like Beauty Pop add

One's shojo, the other one is shonen. One is about beauty competitions the other is about tennis. But once you start reading you'll realize how similar the main characters are and how they handle situations in a cool and composed manner. Kiri Koshiba vs Ryoma Echizen Similarites: - Both voiced by Junko Minagawa (PoT anime, BP drama CD) - Wear caps when doing what they're good at - Father is legendary in their respective fields, retired, is someone they want to beat and at the same time their mentor - Mother is rarely mentioned but seen - Charismatic: Freshman trio/Kanako and "Komatarou" - Laid back - Doesn't get angry easily - Stands up to upperclassmen - Likes juice/soda - Have a cat they care about- Karupin/Shampoo - Sense of justice - Finding passion in what they do best Differences: - Cocky: Ryoma - Lazy heroine: Kiri - Fears: darkness and cockroaches (Kiri), red eyes (Ryoma)

Recommending Tsubasa Chronicle, its sequel, and OVAs. Two fantasy stories that begin with a simple premise of a group of fighters, initially strangers, accompanying a young girl and help her gather items that are important to her. They travel from place to place looking for those specific items which have magical properties, sometimes used by others for their own gain. As the plot progresses, not everything surrounding the main characters is as it seems - not even the main characters themselves. To explain it here would be a spoiler for both series.

If you liked Kyoukai no Rinne add

...then you might like Noragami add

Rinne and Yato are the down-and-out, jersey-wearing, weapon-wielding protagonists of their respective series. They'll take on most any job in the spirit world if it means earning a buck and reaching their goals. Yato to fund his own shrine. Rinne to repay a massive debt saddled onto him by his family. The female deuteragonists of their respective series, Sakura and Hiyori who are "normal" high school girls, find themselves caught up in the spirit world and aiding the protagonists. Both series have comedic and serious moments although Rinne leans towards the comedic side and Noragami leans towards the serious and dramatic side.
