Say I Love you is very simalar, both Sawako and Mei have similar personalities. And like Kimi ni Todoke, it is an all round sweet anime and worth the time to watch all 13 episodes. I loved it so much I have bought the series on dvd :)

Both are about romance, friendship, teenage years, and both really enjoyable anime.

Both titles are about teenagers falling in love with each other. This is happening slowly, step by step. They're trying to get to know each other better and understand. Both contain many funny scenes. The main female characters are similiar in their behavior.

I am not sure if I can really link those two with something as precise as similiar characters but I for one enjoyed Toradora as much as I enjoyed Sukitte Ii na yo. They are both romance anime, both female leads are kind of misunderstood even if it's not in the same way and are both wonderful people once you get to know them. The male leads have both very unique characters and both anime make you feel that little tingly feeling that makes you want to burst whenever something good happens. Ultimately, all characters are tangled in a romance that in the case of Toradora  read more

Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji and Sukitte Ii na yo are similar in many ways: I. ) The main male character is manipulative against the main female character. II. ) The main female character falls for the male's manipulation. III. ) The main male character is loved by all the girls in the area because of his looks. IV. ) There are many ups and downs in the relationship but somehow manage. That about sums up both animes' plots. I told it indirectly so it doesn't ruin it for you. But both anime are awesome either way. Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

As for ´´Real girl´´, I´ve seen only one episode and I strongly dislike it. Both anime have a similar start, where the ´´known, popular´´ person kisses and somehow helps the other protagonist, which has trouble with social life and then they start dating and develop feelings for each other. So called ´´quick romance´´ Not realistic or too realistic characters...

Shoujo, lovey dovey romance at its best. They have trouble recognizing their feelings for each other and they eventually realize those feelings

-Both have a female lead who has a hard time making friends but make more through the male lead. - Both are slice of life romance with a school theme. -Both have male leads with girls that like him but give up on him after he chooses to go out with the female lead. -Both have a female lead who work at a bakery. -Both have a male lead with a perverted friend. I'll stop here and let you find out the rest of the similarities by watching the show.

Both are about highschool girl that isn't close to anyone and just lives her dreary life until she meets the guy that shows her the joys of youth and helps her come out of her shell. Both focus on teenage girls feelings. ParaKiss is more about fashion, Sukinayo is more school-ish

Golden Time and Sukitte Ii na yo are the two anime that have rare plots that I have ever watched. They showed the progression of couples in these two anime, in which other romance anime, they end with the two main people falling in love with each other and having a relationship without any further progression in their relationship as a couple.

- both include the complications of a troubled romance - good sides and bad sides - Alot of teenage drama -phsycological drama about romance and friendship  
report Recommended by Ishika_B
Both are shoujo romances and definitely give off the same vibe of the popular guy falling for the less fortunate girl. In both cases, the male romantic interest opens up the female leads horizons and ultimately helps them develop themselves through the relationship.  
report Recommended by Penlifter22
Even though Peach Girl has more comedy, both anime have this girl that is trying to sabotage the lead female characters love life. There is absolutely no communication in either anime between the characters resulting in a lot of nonsense that could have been avoided. They are fun, frustrating romances, that are worth watching.

Outcast. ReLife and Say "I love you" both follow an individual who keeps themselves concealed from their peers. ReLife uses a stern Hishiro for this purpose, whilst Say "I love you" is a bit more dramatic with Mei giving herself a bad reputation, with negative rumours sprawling around her. They both, however, encounter one who goes on to become a part of their life in the name of improving their living standards for themselves and others they may associate with. Both are good romance anime with ReLife being way more lighthearted than the somewhat more serious drama Say "I love you" has.

While KareKano has much deeper character depth that will satisfy anime veterans, Sukitte iina yo is more on the cutesy side and brings nothing new, but it's fairly well exexuted, and felt good even for a veteran like me. Both do a rare feat in anime. Follow an actual developing relationship, and focus on the characters, instead of wasting the viewer's time with the same old "we love eachother and we know it but we need to make up crap to keep us appart or there's no plot".

-both have quiet and awkward female leads. both of which gain friends and become more open as the animes progress. -both of which do not know how to go about their feelings for the male lead. -both have a male lead wanting the female lead's attention. -both have another male character also wanting the female's lead. -inu x boku is a bit more crass, and cutesy. -say i love you is more realistic and serious, with humor spread throughout.

Bloom Into You, like its predecessor Say I Love You, is a high school romance for lovers of psychological dramas. Each features a dominant or even pushy protagonist and a reluctant or skeptical object of their affection. These are relationships where one person has a higher status, and it will take time before they see one another as equals. The major theme underlying the romance is recovery and healing from past trauma and grief. If you enjoy your romance with an undercurrent of psychological struggle, you might also enjoy these emotionally-charged love stories.

Like 'Sukitte Ii na yo.', 'Tonikaku Kawaii' is a cute slice-of-life series about teenagers meeting in a violent fashion, falling in love, starting their relationship and growing as a couple. In both series, the couples begin dating early on, unlike most romance titles, and their romance develops as the protagonists open up and get to know one another, in spite of numerous attempts to break up or otherwise interfere in their relationship. Here are the most significant differences: 1) TK is a romantic comedy that is heavy on the comedy; Sukitte is a melodramatic romance. 2) Sukitte largely revolves around a high school setting, while the MCs in  read more

Both have a popular guy in love with the most shy girl in the whole school. In both the guy tries his best to gently persuade the girl in making friends .Both have similar art style and are extremely romantic. In both at first the main girl tries to avoid the guy but then slowly fall for them.

All I can say is that Sukitte will compliment the feelings that Shigatsu will bring to the table. Sukitte will mend your heart, I promise you.

Nazo no Kanojo X and Sukitte li na yo both share a same general plot but told in two different artistic representations. Where Nazo no Kanojo X is a bit more fantasy due to the importance and connection between Urabe and Tsubaki through saliva, Sukitte li na yo's story is rooted more in a realistic representation on two people in school from different groups and different personalities can find a lasting love within each other. Both are tested throughout their own stories but both will leave you hopeful in the power of love.

Both "Say 'I Love You'" and "A Day Before Us" have relationship build up and similar intrest within Slice of Life and Romance. If you aren't intrested in K-Anime I reccommend "A Day Before Us" and a good start-off into the genre.

These are two of my favorite romance anime, deeper than a lot of other ones, explore different types of relationships and love. Unlike others the end of the show isn't when the characters confess and get together but instead this happens early on so the rest of the show focuses on how the relationship grows and changes.

- simple love story - mc is a girl getting confessed to by the main guy - you feel like a third wheel while watching this - definitely can watch with your family around

They have similar vibes. Both main characters are quite introverted but are trying to overcome that for the sake of their relationships. "Orange", however, touches on some more sensitive topics whereas "Say I Love You" is a bit lighter. Also, both of them focus around likable friendgroups in their highschool years. 
report Recommended by homoady
Say I Love You focuses on problems that many people face in real life, just like Nana does. It focuses on two characters that have little in common but grow a loving bond and learn about each other (and themselves) in the process. They also get to know other characters and there's a bit of romantic drama. The two shows also have a similar art style.

Centered around young love, both look at the ups and downs or having a relationship. Similar problems and characters are very likeable. Both will encourage mushy feelings reactions.

They both have hot, popular male leads who fall in love with a slightly less popular girl. In Sukitte the gap between them is larger than in Aishiteruze, but both male leads push the girl into falling in love. Both female leads start of apprehensively.

Both anime consist of girls who were happy at a young age, and then as they got older they both can't trust anyone and they were alone for a long period of time. Finally, a guy comes along and brightens up their lives. They both share the same genre (romance).

Nanami, like mei is a high school girl, with her own difficult circumstances. She is evicted from her house because of her father's gaming debts. Then she meets Mikage who let's her live in his shrine. The romance is funny,cute and heratbreaking at the same time, the storyline is very good. The difference is that Mey has one boyfriend, while in Kamisama Nanami is surronded by bishounen boys: Tomoe, Kurama, Mizuke and more...

Both are interesting romance anime with a straightforward guy who falls in love with a girl at first sight. If you like a short shoujo anime with a school setting, you should watch Sukitte Ii no yo and if you like a little longer anime with more drama and a sport setting, you should watch Suzuka. Anyway if you like romance, you should just watch both.

They are both love stories that have a bit of dimension to them. One dealing with complex love issues between the main character helping others with their relationships (Sukitte Ii Na Yo) The other dealing with the fact of two main love stories that tie in together at some point (ef: A Tale of Melodies) ef: A Tale of Memories is also a good idea to watch.

The basic plot is simialar, as both stories focus on a girl that doesn't want to make friends because of something that happened in their childhood, but grow to trust people more about half-way through the series. Besides that though the shows are polar opposites.

similar in a few ways: + both have a girl with few to none friends + both girls like a popular guy + both are scared/not willing to make friends + both are cute when they smile :3 + both have a realy cheerfull guy as main lead

A romantic love story, similar to Sukitte Ii na yo. Really cute, with a happy ending. The main protagonist falls in love with a person, who's truly different from what he thought. He mainly he likes the girl not because she's cute, but instead for who she really is. An "out-of-friend zone" love story, with a lot of funny moments, sometimes sad. Both of them show us how we should handle our issues and are about human relationships that are not so far away from the reality.

If you are interested in the many problems a high schooler can have in the school and outside of it, both anime can be for you. Forming a friend group and dealing with different problems is the main plot of both series. Sukitte Iina Yo is a romantic anime whyle Hoshiai no Sora is more about friendship, but the struggles in the daily lives of the characters are similar.

The male lead has the same voice actor in both series. In Sukitte Li na yo, Sakurai does the voice for Mei's cat during the ending preview. While in Dog and Scissor, he is the voice of a cute dog.

The World is Still Beautiful is a love story like Say I Love You. These two animes both include a main girl character that is reluctant to love the guy at first. Also these two animes include some humor.

Though both come from the same genre, they have a significant differences in their respective romantic-comedy blends. Sukitte li na yo is more romantic while Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou is more comedic. Aside from that, they have similar character art, quiet female protagonists who go through a progressive change, a school setting, entertaining supporting characters, and romantic moments that'll inspire a smile.

Both are about a romance between a loner and the school idol who reaches out to them, in which the loner starts to come out of their shell and become a more positive person thanks to their interactions with the more outgoing half of the couple. Mei's not really an edgelord like Ichikawa is starting out and Say I Love you has more drama while Dangers in My Heart has more comedy, but the story is otherwise pretty similar, just with the genders reversed.

These are actually not very similar, but if you liked one you will like other because these days it is not easy to find a romance anime that does not turn out to be harem. However, these two are not like that and are very satisfying with their romance and drama. In both, the main character loves only one girl. In Kimikiss, it first looks like the main loves another girl but the day his friend comes to his home, he starts to like her—he just doesn't realize this until end.

True Tears shares a lot of different feelings and thoughts within it's action. If you liked the nice character development and the plot itself from this anime , I am sure you will enjoy the other just as much or maybe even more. However, it is a high risk of crying, so if you decide to watch True Tears and then Sukitte Ii na yo, prepare your tissues if you are a sentimental person.

I actually recommend the manga version of Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu, but oh well... Anyways, both are high school love stories that begin with an unpopular, plain-looking girl who accidentally catches the attention of a really hot guy due to some violent incident. Both female heroines get a makeover and eventually form a strong bond with the male protagonist. If you enjoyed Sukitte Ii na yo, you might like Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu (the manga version)
