 If you liked
Kamichu!

 ...then you might like
Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight!

Both of them have something special that takes them beyond the typical slice of life series in setting. Manabi Straight has some sci-fi elements, while Kamichu! includes mystical/fantasy elements. More than that, they include a great deal of character development, and have the characters overcome real challenges in their daily lives. Still, they keep a relaxing and happy feel, always putting a smile on your face even when you feel like crying.
