Horimiya

The setup of both Kare Kano and Horimiya are similar: a boy and a girl who act one way at school, and lead very different (and far richer) lives outside of it. There are personality similarities between the mains as well: a somewhat high-strung female and a calmer, more emotionally collected male. Both series are humorous but display a level of emotional sensitivity when dealing with relationships.
A boy and a girl who act a certain way around their schoolmates. In Horimiya it's more of just the outside appearance though. Kara Kano is finished and gets to be very physiological and sad at times.
Both stories go AFTER being a couple (a rarity!) and are more than what the premise actually is on the outside. Horimiya and Kare Kano both explore the dynamics of relationships on any related topic ranging from talking out misunderstandings to fetishes—and it's sad, though, that we only get to see a few stories that are like these. Kare Kano is like a pioneer of this kind of approach to the romance genre—and can be as psychologically charged as compared to other manga out there, and Horimiya modernizes what Kare Kano started on in a less preachy or shoujo-like manner.
