- Similar art, design, and highschool setting.
- Male protags who appear to be deadbeat trash but actually has a heart of gold.

Anohana and kokosake are from the same creator. Both has same stories about a girl that struggles for her friends. And of course, a relationship drama.

Kokosake and Anohana are made by the same creators and they give off a similar dramatic and heartwarming vibe. Both anime focus on the main heroine's, a young girl's, extraordinary condition and her friends, who try to help her but, also face their own personal problems.
This is from the same writer and it encompasses the repercussions of what words can do to define you in life. A few words from the ones you are closest the most can make or break you and in this movie it is both celebrated and lamented. It also breaks some of the common tropes in romance that really improves the quality of the movie overall. To be honest I was really caught off guard when I watched this during my free time and I loved it to bits. I do hope you do too!
If you have seen Anohana and you are looking for something similar, something sad, I recommend you Kokoro ga. I honestly can't say that the stories are very similar, but I can say that in the two you find the same types of feelings. Both have a very emotional ending and are one of the best animes of sadness that you can find.
