Both of these series are about the fundamentals of romance, the struggles seen in love, and the raw emotions between them. While they both have very different stories, MARS happening to be a bit more soap-opera in appearance, the two had a distinct line of similarity. They will both try to tug on your heart strings, if not attempting to make you remember past experiences in love. If anything, I recommend both series, mostly if you liked one or another.
Long, well-written shoujo romance staring a boy and girl from different walks of life. In each, the girl discovers the boy's inner anguish and helps to stop it, but neither gets too over-the-top.
High school romances between an unlikely couple forced to deal with interfering friends and rivals and their own emotional baggage as their pasts catch up with them. Both are great if you like series that lay on the angst and improbable amounts of emotional strife. (I mean it in a good way!)

Story of a girl coming into a guy's lives and changing them. Both deal with some level of psychology and tragedy that the main guy goes through, but in Mars the main girl has her share as well. Great romance and love developments - both main guys try to remember the past, while the girl helps them through it. Consequently, both main girls are admirable, in the most sense.
Although I recommend Mars for an older audience, both are great shoujo mangas that will touch peoples' hearts.
Both manga have a couple who start off friendly, but fall in love shortly because they can understand each other. Also, both can be dark sometimes, with a dark past that proves to be an obstacle in the characters' relationship. Finally, they are similar because the main characters become friends with people who could have been seen as enemies before.
