Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun

The resemblance between these two are amazingly high: - Guy and a Girl - The girl doesn't have friends because of something that happened in the past - The guy falls for the girl and wants to protect her and so on.. just watch the first episode of both  

The female character equally new experience first kiss and i think they have same characteristic 

Both shoujo animes with a strong female character and a unique twist! 

In both shoujos the main female character doesn't really have a strong social life or any friends, but everything changes after a certain guy comes into their life. Both are very enjoyable. 

•both are the usual shoujo, romance, school life, comedy genre...... •both have a main protagonist girl that chooses not to have friends •both have a well handsome/good looking/cute male that falls head over heels for them •both girls slowly develop feelings for them, and address by confessing the issue in the first couple of episodes •both males want to protect the girl •both gain friends/rivals •similar in the typical school life romance.  

The main girl is shy in both shows but slowly get comfy in their relationship  

Both anime have a cold girl who changes a boy. . . 

Both female protagonists have basically the same views before they meet a boy who changes them. To me, these anime are very similar! Am I the only one that sees it!?!?  

Both main characters don't have any friends at the beginning and avoid other people. Both come in touch with a boy who sees them differently 

- Both Shizuku and Mei don't care about socializing, but that changes after they meet Haru and Yamato. - Both Haru and Yamato are insecure about their relationship with their girlfriend. Haru dislikes Shizuku spending time with Yamaken, while Yamato dislikes Mei getting closer to Kai.  

• Both main protagonist girl chose not to have friends. • Both girls slowly develop feelings for them. • Both males want to protect the girl.  

Both have a female lead that doesn't think they need friends or anyone for that matter. And both have a male lead that sees her differently than everyone else. And the male leads make the female question her own values. Both are about love overpowering everything, and watching people's attitudes on life change. Both also include a very small, but notable love triangle. 

It is definitly a quick romance that displays a girl who learns lessons on life while liking a cool, most popular, good looking guy in the school. This anime does have a cute, and sweet atmosphere when watching the 2 mains 

Both are touching stories about unlikely high school couples. Both have similar reclusive female protagonists 

They both show the development of awkward characters as they begin to realize (slowly) a sweet love. 

The main heroine both have their lives changed once they make friends and fall in love. Sukitte li na yo is a more realistic take on high school that deals with bullying and emotional problems. Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun is more light hearted with more comedy but are great 

Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun (My little monster-English name) and Sukitte Ii na yo. (Say "I love you") both start the same. There is a unpopular girl, and a boy who's not like her... In My little Monster, the boy (Haru) is misunderstood for being a delinquent type character after spilling blood on the first day. In Say I love you, Yamato is the most popular guy in school and seemingly out of reach. In both anime, there is a confession in the first episode. They both have manga that continue the story. So really, they both are fast-moving romance anime with a lot of comedy. 

Both made from the same creator and have a cute love story. As they both have some hilarious side characters and adorable side romances. Both girls have that 2nd boy that are head over heals for them, but can't except there love. I promise you that neither of them will disappoint you! 

To start of both shows have same genres (shoujo,slice of life,romance,school..etc.) The main Character of Sukitte ii na yo is similair to Shizuku (the MC of TnKk) ,at the start both of them don't have friends and obviously no love experience and are saying to them selfs stuff like ''I don't need friends they only use each other'',''I don't have time for that'',and then you have Yamato and Haru (The male MCs of the show) that both pick an intrest to these ''anti-social'' girls and so love slowly starts blooming (lol) -Sorry for the sucky description,but you should give them a try, i guarantee that you will like both of them :) read more 

The animes are actually very similar. Both Mei and Shizuku are very reserved and "lone wolfish" until their love interest appears turning their world upside down. The only main difference that may or may not upset people is Sukitte Ii Na Yo doesn't have a beach scene[the manga does though!]. Sukitte Ii Na Yo also is a bit more mature than Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun on the relationship aspect. Say I Love You is also a bit rushed but so is My Little Monster since they both kiss in the first episode. They're both great and cute short series of romance to watch if you want a bit of tsundere in your anime love life.  read more 

They are both about an ani-social girl that ended up opening up because of a guy... 

- Both of these anime have the same type of main characters, the unsociable girl that eventually makes friends, and the tall, black-haired male. - Similiar Storyline. - They are both full of misunderstandings because of the characters keeping their thoughts for themselves without telling anyone. - Both anime series consist of characters that are "new" to love. - Both of these series center around high shool romance, while Tonari is more quirky and fun, Suki-tte is more of a coming of age drama type. Sukitte Ilnayo is much more innocent and lovey-dovey, while Kaibatsu has a lot more comedy. But that being said they are both very well done love stories between two unlikely people. read more 

Socializing is a drag, really. Both female characters have a rather weak social life, and just struggle with their friend-relationships. Later, both are pushed over their limit by ongoing extroverted male leads, and slowly-- or perhaps unexpectedly develop a love-relationship. 

Main characters have completely different personalities, yet have a very cute relationship. Jealousy and friendship are two topics that are very important in this anime.  

The love between the characters are quite similar both very cute and focused on school and romance and they are both shoujo  

What nice twist of fate. You are a quiet girl, minding your own business, and it just so happens that the really hot guy in town falls for you. As if shoujo couldn't be any more shameless. Regardless, these two stories have their protagonists, Shizuku and Mei, have their experiences dating the hot guy trying to get closer to one another, at such young ages too. They are blissful stories of young love and what treasures lie within them. Full of sweet moments everyone loves romance to have. Seriously, could you ask for any more? Maybe a less bothersome male protag but they both work well. Wouldn't you know, they are products of their time too (seasonal-wise too)? read more 

The backstory of how the female leads becoming a loner, and the story of how the female leads threw away their loner behavior by meeting a male lead is almost the same. Both female leads slowly growing a feeling by doing some interactions that the male leads do to them and changing their way of living. 

Both are romantic comedies and slice of life. The main characters are very unusual and the story show us very funny situations (romantic also, don't forget). 

These shows highly imply romance and humor. While Toradora obviously has a slower pace compared to Tonari no Kaibutsukun, both of these shows love in a peculiar way. One of the character is ecstatic while the other one aims for a "normal" life. It doesn't only revolve around the main characters though. The supporting cast also share the spotlight and have their own storyline that may affect the main characters' attitude towards them or even towards themselves. 

-Characters in both series don't have many friends -Shizuku and Haru became friends so they made many friends with other characters, and the same is with Taiga and Ryuuji -Comedy style is very similar 

Although Toradora have a slower pace than Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, they're both humorous and romantic. They're great anime to watch if you're looking for romance. 

Both are great romantic comedies that will surely leave a smile on your face. Toradora has more drama and is the more serious show out of the two.  

Both series are considered romantic comedies that has both of the elements: Romance & comedy. Additionally, both series has a strange female protagonist who falls for the main male protagonist. And speaking of which, both the male protagonist in the series are also strange but has a kinda heart. Both series takes place at a school setting where all the drama takes place. Both series also has some action that is employed in a comedic way. 

Both romance between a delinquent and cold hearted girl 

To me these 2 are similar in a sorta opposite way. In Toradora! Taiga is as adorable as a girl can be, yet she's the most short-tempered person in school, while Ryuuji looks like a yankee(apparently),but is one of the nicest guys you can find,with an extreme passion for cleaning. Meanwhile in Kaibutsu-kun, Haru is the kind looking short-tempered character, while Shizuku is the tough looking(she looks tough to me) girl, but its easily scared and has an extreme passion for studying(though she is a bit cold). Both of the girls are tsunderes. 

Both are romantic comedies with reluctant protagonists and really cute side characters 

Both are great romantic comedies. Toradora! gets more serious at the end but it still bring lots of laughs, even if it's laugh through tears :) Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun is opposite, I maen there's more comedy but still it left this heartwarming feeling after you watch it. I recommend to check out both of them :) 

Similar main character feel with the girl but a spectacular show none the less. If you liked Toradora then you should at least give this a shot but really you should love this.  

Toradora was absolutely the sweetest anime's I've ever seen. This anime was the first I saw of its kind. I was more into the action/thriller genre but I am totally converted to the romantic/comedy/slice of life genre. This anime surely made my top 5 list and I love it so much for how sweet and cute it is. I definitely recommend it to those who are looking for an anime of the genre I stated previously. 

-both mc's (Taiga and Shizuku) are temporarily disliked by most of society -both guy mc's (Ryuuji and Haru) have a scary demeanour, but unlike Ryuuji, who just looks like a delinquent, Haru actually gets into fights -high school setting -many friends have feelings for Haru and Shizuku (My Little Monster), and many have had or develop feelings for Aiga and Ryuuji (Toradora)  

-Both are romantic comedies -The MC's are similar (basically no friends at first, but grow as people throughout the show) -The MC's are what would be classed as weird/different/outcasted -There's some sort of love triangle in both Toradora's characters are less direct about their feelings, and Taiga is a classic Tsundere, whereas both of the main characters in My Little Monster are very straightforward and honest about their feelings. Toradora is longer and ends with a firm understanding of the MC's relationship, but My Little Monster leaves things somewhat unfinished. Both are comedic though. If you liked one, you will probably like the other! 

Both are about school life, romance and friendship. You'll end up laughing and crying. 

They both are very good romance animes that depict a very strong and dominant character and the person they love also it is mainly placed in school and the fellow students are afraid and scared of one of the main characters 

+ Both of them are RomComs set in highschool + The main guys in these two are very alike. Both of them are feared because they look like delinquents, but in reality they're sort of soft + It takes time for the female leads to realise that they like the main guy - The female leads are a little different, both in appearance and personality 

Quite similar in terms of playout of events - girl reluctantly falls in love with guy - but has its own unique feel to it! If you liked Toradora, you will LOVE Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun!! 

Love is a long journey with numerous funny and memorable moments. Both anime are about two cute high school couples with totally opposite personality and how they fell in love with each other.  

They're both short school romances with a small tsundere twist! The characters are interesting and engaging and the plot strays from what I would consider cliche. 

Toradora and My Little Monster are both romcoms, but even on top of that they have a lot in common -Both take place in high school and deal with a good student failing for a social delinquent -The male protagonist in both (Ryuuji/Haru) are feared by their classmates for their mean glair -A lot of slapstick and stupid comedy -Both male protagonist have a bird (chicken/parrot) as a pet -In both series the protagonist have estranged family members -similar animation/color pallets for both In short Toradora and My Little Monster are pretty similar. If you liked one you might like the other.  

In some ways, I found these two series quite similar. Both series takes place at a school life setting where the main male protagonist is very independent and has control over his surroundings. However, at times he feels insecure especially in regards with the main female protagonist where he feels jealousy. On the other hand, the female protagonist in both series are very serious yet kind students at school known strangely for their personalities. Both series has a general lighthearted setting and mood that mixes in comedy, drama, and romance. 

•both anime are relatively the same in genres, shoujo, school life, romance, •both animes focus on the girl protagonist who, strives to be the best at what she can do, and have nobody to rely on, especially a male, •both female protagonists have no experience socializing with the opposite sex, they are always afraid of her or avoid her •both male protagonists are a hanful of mischief, to silently being romantic to acting the complete opposite and causing trouble and confusion for the female protagonist •they are very similar in the strong minded female protagonist, who unexpectedly makes the male, slowly fall in love with them. 

Both have the similar in the slight love plot line. The main guy character is a boy who won't give up on his love, is a bit mischievous, and extremely direct in the things he says. The main female character is a girl who simply isn't interested. She finds the guy, annoying. She will soon find that she has feelings for the guy too... but still find that he is unbearable. Both have the same type of humor in it, if you like one, you will probably enjoy the other. 

if u like this anime then u will like maid-sama because they both have the perfect mix of comedy/romance  

Both have similar character. Both are similar in many ways like how the main female characters likes to study. Similar comedy. 

The two smartest students in the school. The guy always manages to beat the girl :) Nice, cute shoujo anime :) 

Haru (the main guy character in Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun) definitely reminds me of Usui (the main guy character in Kaichou wa Maid sama) in that they both tag along constantly with the main girl character and they act strangely around her in order to show that they like her. Also, the girl protagonists in both are stubborn and confused about how they feel about the guy protagonist. Definitely try both if you like romantic comedies! 

It has a tsundere-ish female character who puts studies first before friends and social life. Has a sexual pervert as the signifcant other. VERY similar trust me 

- Tsundere Female Protagonist - Reckless Male partner - Guy likes the girl while the girl just can't be honest with her feelings - Guy from another school after the female protagonist They're both hilarious anime but they still have their sweet moments! If you liked Kaichou wa Maid-Sama, you'll definitely like Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun! 

Both have very similar main characters and the pacing of the comedy is similar. Both are romances and the confession comes first from the teenage boy who somehow admires the strong-willed, independent teenage girl. Also, both end somewhat ambiguously but have implied futures. They are somewhat different, I enjoyed them both enough to go back and watch the first episodes again after watching the last.  

Both have: A girl trying hard in school to get a good future. A boy who does not try hard and is still good at everything. Both are lovable characters. Over time they develop feelings for each other ( Male protagonist first) Both female protagonist attempt to resist but eventually fall in love with the male protagonist. Both contain some humor and drama. Both is a 10/10  

There is a main female character that want nothing to do with the main male at the beginning, but are curious about the personalty of said male. Through out the story line, the characters grow closer and are in odd situations. Also, the side characters included provide humor that helps make it an enjoyable casual watch.  

Both the main female protagonist are tsundere and both the main male protagonist are good at everything and shows a lot of affection towards the main female protagonist. 

Both of these animes are very much alike, if you like one of them your definitely going to like the other. The lead male characters in both animes have very similar personalities and make me laugh. The lead female characters in both are similar in the way that neither knows the feeling of liking or being in love with a man. So in both animes this makes it very difficult for the lead male characters to get them to understand that they like them. 

Both series have a handsome and quite unique main character guy, with a secret background. Both of the guys are different from the other guys in the series. Both of the main girls are super focused on their school work. Both of the series are about romance and school in an very funny way. Both of the series can be pretty unrealistic, but in an entertaining way!  

Both have the same romantic comedy genre to it. Both involves a main female protagonists who interact with a male protagonist who have similarities. Shizuku and Misaki are both have younger siblings and live with only one parent (mom for misaki and dad for shizuku). Haru and Takumi are both living 'alone' with their parents unknown and they share a similar trait as a person who like to tease some people. Both also have a 'rival'. Both have another male friend who share the same goofy but supportive trait. (Sasayan and Hinata in this case). 

- similar genre: comedy, romance, school, shoujo - both heroines are tsundere - both op themes are good to hear (just my opinion) 

both got a tsundere mc character... are poor with a misterious boyfriend  

Both anime have similar vibes to them. They're both cute romantically cute. Trust me on this one.  

-Both animes are centered around comedy/romance -Both are shoujo anime -Both are school life  

Awesome romance anime Both guys are cool but in Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, Yoshida Haru the main protagonist is pretty badass but not very good at making friends because he can be scary sometimes whereas Kazehaya Shouta has a lot of friends but he finds it hard to express his love. If you liked one you should definitly watch the other! :) 

The way the stories unfold, the way the characters develop in both the anime are pretty similar. Also the art works are pretty same. So anyone loving tonari no kaibutsu kun would love kimi ni todoke and vice versa! 

Both have girl who was isolated but then learns the value of friendship Both have the same genres - shoujo romance school They have the same feeling between the main characters, development is goin faster than kimi ni todoke though 

-similar animation style -similar characters -KNT has funnier animation though -tonari's plot is more complicated than KNT  

Both are about love and the struggles of blending in.  

They are honestly just very similar in many ways...Both are romances, of course. There are also side romances as well as the one between the main characters.You will also like this series if you liked KAICHOU WA MAID-SAMA ~ 

• Both have girl who was isolated but then learns the value of friendship. • They have the same feeling between the main characters. • Both have the same genres - shoujo romance school.  

Both girl protagonist do not have any friends at first and meets a guy who trys to get clost to them. They are charged my the guy who they soon fall in love with and by the new friends they meet along the way. 

Basically, both stories are about a girl who distances herself from others (Shizuku does so to focus on her studies. Sawako does so because people are afraid of her) then suddenly, a certain guy (Haru for Shizuku. Shota for Sawako) befriends her and helps her open up to other people. 

Both have some unique Romance style and comedy. And they both have they charm to entertain people. 

Slow burn romance. Female protagonist who's shy and inexperienced meet a guy who's pretty and cool. The guy from TNK and the girl from KNT are scary and they don't know how to make friends. Kimi ni Todoke is like Haru's point of view (girl version). 

Love story between two fun people, but Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun is focused more on the comedy aspect, while Kimi ni Todoke is a bit more serious. 

Both of these anime series involve cute, heartwarming and somewhat comical, romances. The art styles of both anime are very pretty and pleasing to watch. The main male protagonists are very similar in both looks and personality. They both have a tendency to tease/softly bully the main female love interests in both series. The story and plot are somewhat similar. Each character relationship develops as they go through circumstances together. If you have watched either anime, I 100% recommend watching the other as you will definitely enjoy it. ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧  

Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun and Ao Haru Ride are both teenage romance stories. A few of the characters share similar traits, or look alike. For example Kou looks like Haru. Sasayan shares a personality type with Kominato. Yuuri and Natsume have to deal with almost the exact same situation. etc. If you liked Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun you will definitely enjoy Ao Haru Ride.  

-Relatable and likable Characters -Various Funny moments -Not your typical shoujo romance anime -Above average soundtrack -More than just romance. Differences: -While Ao Haru Ride explores more about the main character's pasts and their overcoming, Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun explores how the main characters come to realize and change their present selves. -Very open ended ending, expect to read the manga if you liked the show (which I highly, highly recommend) 

-they both have romance and are based on a daily school life. -the art is kind of similar -they're both really kawaiii! if you liked "my little monster", then you will surely like "ao haru ride"  

Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun and Ao Haru Rideare both sweet but not cheesy romantic comedies. They both have protagonists that are clueless about dating. While they both will cause a storm of feelings, I think Tonari is a happier anime. Also I am amazed by both of the anime's art. 

Tonari no kaibutsu-kun is about a romance between a diligent girl (Shizuku) and his opposite Haru. Why did i recommend ao haru ride, when the main is not even similar? - I just did, because they are both nice and if you've seen a romcom anime, all are typically the same thing. But i picked this because it's the most suitable anime which has similar plot and worth watching. 

Both these anime have a unique animation...AHR has a watercolour feel to it whereas TNK has a bold geometrical feel to it....Great MCs ...the love story is also equally progressive but in case of TNK I really like how the female grows seeing the male (Haru) live his life...its more in depth in the manga....but its a story ewhere a person grows when in love 

Both shows are essentially romantic comedies that centralize around two contrasting characters - one who has an ice cold demeanor and the other with a warmer and a more perceptive personality - and explore their relationship throughout a high school setting. The various supporting character cast of each respective show also helps put a spotlight on their relationship, whether it's by their physical presence, their interactions, or something that they do. Check them out when you have a chance! 

For me, these series are so similar, that often I get confused remembering, what happened in what series. Both anime have a pretty strong female character and a guy who is a bit off. Through events and adventures they experience together, they get closer to each other and get to know one another.  

They are both shoujo anime, about a boy and a girl that are in love. They are not 100% similar, but I'm sure, that if you liked one of them you'll like the other one as well :3 

Their love story is very fresh. I don't know what makes these two anime similar, but if you already like one and haven't watched either one, give it a try. I'm sure you'll like it too! When you watch it, you will never regret it at all, TRUST ME! 

Haru and Kou are not drastically the same person. But they intend to Shy away from the people who tries to get close to them. 

Both shows have similar kind of humor. If one of these shows made you laugh out loud, then it's the vice versa.  

These three are shoujo rom-coms that are about boy/girl liking someone else with a one sided crush but then over the space of the eps, the other boy/girl starts to like them back, they are all very well drawn, animated and have good plots! :) 

These two series are considered romantic comedies that are lighthearted and presented in a way that is funny, entertaining, and amusing all the same time. Both series features both a strange main male and female protagonist but as time goes by, they fall in love and becomes great friends. Both series has romance, drama, comedy, and takes place at a school setting where other characters also plays their roles in the story. Both series also has a similar lighthearted feeling. 

•both are of the romance, comedy, shoujo, school life genre •both series dont focus only on the understanding of feelings, but the confession itself, and the progress after they confessed and how they end up together. •both contain humorous, weirdly insane comedy that is far different than normal shoujo romance anime •both anime series each contain a bunch of friends that add different personalities that compliment the protagonists and make more humour :P while facing rivals that come in later and disrupt the romantic flow. •they are very similar in the heavy comedic with there outrageous outbursts, that are very funny indeed, aswell as the romantic/shoujo/school life way. 

They both are super adorable rom coms. The main characters also take quite a while to realize that they both love each other  

mmm...First of all both of them are shoujo anime.There is a lot of funny scenes in both anime ;> 

Both series are romantic comedies and they keep getting closer by knowing each other better and accepting slowly their feelings for each other. Both series are focused in th male and female protagonist love, but also have really good comedy involved and good plot overall. 

- romance focused on MC famale and male ( not NTR ) - dense MC male - good comedy - both tonari no kaibutsu-kun MC are smart while both lovely complex MC are stupid - loveable MC female 

Both animes are separated from other conventional shoujos with interesting characters and brand new relationship dynamics. 

If someone wanted to watch something I consider more satisfying, hilarious and romantic I'd definitely recommend Lovely Complex to them. The male main characters are the same. And though the story lines are different, yet, Lovely Complex has a satisfying ending.  

If you enjoyed the fun and the drama of Lovely Complex you will definitively enjoy My little monster. Bot anime are a slice of life of high school and both of them feature characters with unique personality. Although they both focus on the romance between the main characters the way they develop their relationship is extremely different from each other. So, in other words is like watching Lovely Complex again but with different characters and a different plot. A virtue that has My Little Monster over Lovely Complex is that only last 13 episodes, so the anime isn't repetitive as on Lovely Complex but watch out, the anime doesn't cover all the story. If you want to finish the story of My Little Monster you must continue reading the manga. I think that the anime miss the last 3 volumes of the manga but even so is worth watching the anime. read more 

"Horimiya" felt familiar to me right away, it is not a typical romcom and it is exactly this nice weird style that it shares with the anime "Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun". Both male protagonists have not had a great school life so far and are forced by circumstances to change that. There is a love story between couples in both series that you wouldn't expect, which sets the anime apart from the typical cliché. This is a big part of the charm of the series, as almost nothing goes smoothly and the exchanges are pretty cool. The main character pairs are similar in basic constellation, but the personalities are switched. Both series are visually and musically very well done and very entertaining. As always, thanks for reading and have fun watching. read more 

I found both shows very similar to some point both have male protagonist who had some bad time in school, and try to overcome them i think. i found all the love stories are pretty cool and not too cliché (sometimes a little but that's cool) there is some other point but you should just watch the show maybe (sorry if there's mistake, english is not my native language)  

When I watched horimiya (2021) it reminded me immediately of my little monster. Both these anime feature cute unlikely (mc) couples that create hilarious anime moments and make you wish you could watch them together forever. Similarities: Both anime are school rom coms Both anime feature an early confession (although this doesn't mean everything is smooth sailing, especially in my little monster) Both the main couples feature people you wouldn't expect together Both female mcs (Shizuku and Hori) are very assertive and smart. Both male mcs (Haru and Miyamura) give delinquent vibes (Miyamura with his piercings and Haru with his fighting) Both feature sweet relationships that have a lot of depth. The only differences are the characters and the storyline (MC) Character Differences: Male mcs: Miyamura is quiet and not academically smart; Haru is loud and academically smart. Female mcs: Hori is popular and outgoing; Shizuku is quiet/disinterested and doesn't have any friends (at first). Storyline Differences: In horimiya there are multiple romance storylines/triangles/relationships, but in my little monster apart from the storylines that revolve around the mc couple, there only seems to be one more romance storyline. The only other difference is the literal plot, both these anime are very similar but are undoubtedly separately unique. I can't say one is better than the other, because I don't think they can be compared to each other in that way. They both give the same amount of happiness and comedy when you watch them and makes you wish there was more. Basically if you love one you'll love the other. read more 

Two characters, out of touch from reality meet each other and have fun. The set of characters are pretty much similar. Good romance comedy moments. 

Similar Romcom School -Both mc have naughty style -Both have introvert students (Tonari:Heroine, Horimiya:MC) -Both have elements of a love triangle -Both have smart heroines -They get together more often, after getting acquainted 

both have a similar story and a romance with a delinquent boy and a nice girl, but also dives deeper than just I like you do you like me, and explores who they are as people. both of them are romance stories I've fallen in love with and I deeply recommend them both a lot  

School Misunderstanding Character Development Friends 

Very direct and strong willed female leads. The stories are a bit different but they give off similar vibes but both are very good shows.  

"Ookami" is the reverse of "Tonari". High strung characters meet supposedly strait laced characters. Their fumbling attempts at romance leave us with some hilarious, yet tender moments.  

Both are about teenage romance, romance have some good parts and bad parts, and they have their groups of friends from school. I loved both ~ 

-there is a cold main character who finds the other characters annoying -the rolls are just practically reversed -the animation is very similar -it is also taken about in a light, comedic way -it had very sweet moments -the guy was very protective of the girl -there was some cute bickering 

Both anime are romances, and the main heroines struggle with their emotions and work hard to get their love interest. Lots of feelsXD 

Both involve characters that are compared to animals and are "harsh" or "moody". Both have characters that have to "take care" of another in a pet like way that leads to eventual romance.  

It is extremely similar. It has the same kind of characters with issues who develop over time and a very complicated love story. 

Both are hilarious with random odd situations. While Nozaki-kun is more inclined to be a parody of the whole Shoujo Genre (lots of elements from popular series will come up if you notice) Kaibutsu-kun revolves more within the Shoujo genre, but creates fresh comedy out of its crazy characters. Either way both have good set of different funny characters, great fresh humour, and an ensuing romance. You'll love both of them! The art is kinda similar too.. though Kaibutsu-kun is more pop with brighter colours.  

Tonari no Kaibutsu kun has similar comical elements but it's slower than Gekkan Shoujo. If you like Tonari no, you'll definitely love Gekkan Shoujo 

The two of them have a few similar aspects. + Both have good humor, romance and high-school setting. + Really lovable set of characters. + Great 'Slife of Life'-ness - Gekkan Shoujo is, of course, more towards shoujo side. 

both are (really funny) comedic romances, with different characters and love plots to follow; although sounding a bit daunting, very easy to keep up with. love triangles/squares and rivals in both.  

It's difficult to explain, but both series give off a very similar vibe. Both of them have strong group dynamics involving eccentric characters. That's my core reason for the recommendation. I also felt like both shows had a rather chaotic sense of humor. My Little Monster had an outgoing male lead pursuing the stoic female lead, and Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun had an outgoing female lead pursuing the stoic male lead, leading to vaguely similar dynamics. However, Monthly Girls' is more focused on comedy as opposed to My Little Monster, which is more focused on romance. 

In both the girl is very hard-working and, still, is overrun by the guy who succeeds without even trying. 

both male and female lead is smart plus the male is always on the lead of her also they have the same filling to it :D 

The girl is competitive and doesn't like losing especially to the guy. The guy, on the other hand struggles how to make her fall for him. Though, in my opinion, Kei is sweeter than Haru because Haru is immature and Kei is so "I like you Hikari. Why can't you see?" 

Both are Romantic Comedies that take place at a school and are about a group of people centered around two of them. 

Both series takes place at a school life setting with a lighthearted mood. The main female protagonist in both series are also talented but has a strange personality with the main male protagonist. Both series' main female protagonist are also considered child prodigies but lacks common social skills. It is thanks to the main male protagonist that they discover more about the world. Both series also has a love triangle as well as other intertwined arcs. Both series contains comedy, drama, and romance. 

So if you liked Tonari, there's a 95.7250% chance you'll like Sakurosou. It's got the same charachter build where there's the quirky, over-enthusiastic, nerdy, shy etc and they all come together in one big group of friends making everyday different and unusual. Then there's your dose of cute relationships with a side of rivalry and love triangles to make things more interesting and comedic. Both different plots, but pretty similar. 

Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun and Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo are both romance animes. Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo is very fun even though it has the clichéd love triangle where the guy doesn't even notice the other girl's feelings and stuff. Even though I don't care for love triangles, this anime was very fun to watch and the ending is just so perfect. Somehow I got a similar feeling from the animes. I can't really tell what it is but I really recommend Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo to those who have seen Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun and the other way around. 

similarities :- * both the main female protagonist are very similar. *they are both stone faced *they both work very hard difference:- *the female protagonist in sakurasou lacks common sense and living ability and depends on the male protagonist to take care of her whereas in tonari its the opposite, the male protagonist forcefully tries to become her friend  

Both anime have romance and comedy, with early declaration of the main male character. Both manga weren't finished when the anime was made, so both endings are just arbitrary stops with no real conclusion. The Kare Kano anime last part is worse, and I suggest you just stop watching around episode 12~15 and go directly to the manga to continue the story. As others have mentioned, Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun is more chaotic, while Kare Kano flows better and feels a bit more mature. But I recommend both. 

Based on the early episodes of Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, it becomes very clear how much the female lead character resembles Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou's. While the male protagonists differ quite a bit, both girls are study overachievers obcessed about being the number1 student, which, as a result forces loneliness, social apathy and awkwardness into their personalities and lives. A fated encounter with the male lead starts to change the way they prioritize values in life and slowly start to open their hearts towards love. It's also worthy of note, the often introspective tone of the female lead with regular monologuesque analysis of their own feelings. Even the OP seems to use similar composition formulas. read more 

These two anime are in a sense similar for they both have very smart, intelligent and studious protagonists. They have issues with their past and their relationship grows as they know well each other. Maybe they also have in common tsundere undertones in the protagonist. I recommend Karekano, that I find more various and that I like more. Tonari no in fact is a little repetitive while Karekano's story develops more and covers more aspects of the protagonists' relationship. However I'll wait for the OVA.  

Both animes have a girl reluctant to make friends because she thinks it'll be an inconvenience (although Kaori just doesn't want to hurt anyone whereas Shizuku thinks they'll be a pain). There aren't many direct similarities between the two animes apart from the romance genre and similar art style, but both Hase and Haru are similar in the sense that they're the ones initiating the relationship. There is also the fact that it's because of Hase that Kaori makes friends, which is like how it is because of Haru that Shizuku does the same. They have a similar feel so if you like one anime you'll like the other. read more 

Persistent boy makes advance on seemingly cold, solitary girl. challenges of friendship emerge, including past complications and awkward communication errors. In My little Monsters case Haru is more of the cheerful upbeat one, and if you liked Shogo from one week friends he's given female form by Shizuku which gives way to perfectly hilarious and heart wrenching scenes alike. 

Very similar humor and it has also a good mix between silly/funny and romantic/dramatic moments. 

The main character deals with her inner demons, and tries to figure out what her place is in the world. Although in Kotoura-san, the main character is a lot more bubbly, and friendlier. Both series focus on character development between different sets of characters, although the characters in both are made entirely as a different cast, the feeling of focusing on the relationships between both. The main girl and guy both struggle to sort out their feelings for another throughout the series. If you want a mix from sad-to-happy themes in an anime, Kotoura-san is what you should look for. If you want an anime filled with character development for finding the meaning to your-seemliness boring or out of place life, then Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun is the answer for you. However both really focus on self-identity. read more 

Ouran and Tonari no Kaibutsu kun are both romance/comedy animes. Both of these animes are one of the most hilarious romance animes that i have seen. The characters are different although the main characters have quite a few resemblances. For example Haruhi in Ouran is a smart girl who is focused on her studies and a strange guy wont leave her alone, this is the same with Shizuku from Tonari no Kaibutsu kun, she is also a hard working girl fully focused on her studies and a very strange boy wont leave her alone. But even though these two main female characters are similiar in that aspect, they are both different in so many different ways. Also both the main guy characters are good-looking but although Tamaki is popular, Haru is seen as a dangerous person by everyone adn finds it difficult to fit in. All in all, people who enjoyed Ouran will definitely enjoy this anime and laugh for sure. This anime also has more romance than the Ouran anime. So yeah, watch it if you liked ouran, i guarantee you'll love it.  read more 

Both have cold, "uncaring" female characters who love to study and a funny, male love interest who rarely, if ever studies but does his own thing. Both parties (in both anime) can be quite naive which makes for funny misunderstandings (true shoujo trope at work). Great secondary cast in both 

Main male leads are very similar in personality. They both come up with crazy ideas or end up in hilarious situations. :) 

Romance shows with great characters and character chemistry. Kaibutsu-kun is more of a comedy while ReLife is more of a drama, though both shows contain elements of both genres, and end up feeling very similar. 

Light romantic-comedy. Well written story, about young people with social problems, which makes it funny in many ways. Feeling emerging between the characters, is something unknown for them. 

Bot are slice of life anime about friendship (and perhaps even more). Both have school setting and both have chickens. 

Bokura ga Ita, and Tonari no Kaibutsu kun are very similar in that they are kinda a cookie cutter school life romance anime... That in no way makes anything bad in my view, because I enjoy that type of story every now and again... they differ in that Tonari no Kaibutsu kun leans more toward a tsundere type story, and bokura ga ita is a little more dramatic, but in neither case is anything really overpowering... My most important factor when it comes to making reviews or recommendations is simply how much I enjoyed the anime, and thats what I look for... the categories asked to be reviewed about in the guidelines may contribute to the enjoyment factor, but thats not always the case... I completely enjoyed both of these anime, and if youve seen one, I definitely recommend the other [or both if youre into school life romances, and havent seen either yet[ read more 

- Both Shizuku and Nanami have incompetent fathers. Shizuku's father keeps failing at his business, while Nanami's father ran out on her. - Both Haru and Tomoe have a fear of being abandoned. Haru thinks Shizuku will leave him behind like his aunt, while Tomoe thinks Nanami will leave him behind like his old master Mikage.  

Both animes have a slight romance built into them with similar art work. they are feel good shows. One is a fantasy and the other a 'slice of life' anime however, the underlying sentiment in both of them are the same. 

Most of all, both are delightful Rom-Com; Relationship between MCs is straight forward, encouraging and light hearted.  

Love, school and drama. Its related to Tonari No Kaibutsu-kun. Except the male protagonist is not smart and silly.  

These anime have an MC who is mistaken for a bad guy or delinquent. 

Both present characters that are for various reasons unable to make friends, or trying to preserve status of a loner they built, but Tonari focuses more on romance than Yahari.  

They're both romance/comedy's School Life Somehow, both of these gave me kind of the same feeling..maybe the art? Nonetheless, you'll love both of these. 

Both series are based in school. Also the Romance is very backwards and forwards. The main characters are different but one of them is a genius and the other has to try hard to work.
