Ai-Ren

Two slice of life titles with similarities in their premises. Both stories show human civilization as we know it coming to an end and through the course of the series, the characters learn to treasure apparently mundane experiences and to value life for its evanescence.
While Ai-Ren is much more didactic with it's somewhat verbose narration and extreme situations, Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou makes use of more subtle imagery and dialogue to deliver it's message.
Both manga are set in a seemingly post-apocalyptic world, and both revolve around somewhat normal people in a slice-of-life setting. Ai-Ren is substantially darker than Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou at some parts, but for the most part maintains the carefree attitude. However, because of the deeper sections of Ai-Ren, some YKK fans may not enjoy it, but they're similar nonetheless.
