Recommendations Submitted by Users

Both series are the typical shoujo romance, with both sets of main characters not liking each other in the beginning.
The fact that they show a couple´s life before marriage and through marriage it´s common in this animes. if you like to see what happens after the "happily ever after" watch it. xD
They both have a girl who isnt in the top. Except that she's in F-Class and he's in A-Class.

Both show are underrated in every aspect and deserve more attention.
Both main girl charecter have to live in the same house with a handsome-smart-cold guy..
very recommended ^_^
Both are about unrequited love and changing a person's feelings with the power of loooooooove ;-). Also they have a similar art style and humor and are about the same length!

overly energetic female protagonists, having huge mood swings (from hating to loving the guy, or vice versa) so over the top strategies to achieve what want. old school predictable storyline, and similar humour.
If you like Bokura ga Ita then u will like Itazura na kiss.. that is unless your looking for it to be a quicker romance like bokura
Both of these stories involve a relationship that starts out in high school and keeps on progressing after high school.
Both female protagonists are hard-working and clumsy.
The male protagonists are also very similar. They are always saving the female protagonists, are both at the top of their schools. And they are both the most handsome and most popular boys at their school.
The same romantic atmosphere.
Similarities: Strong female lead, Reverse Harem, Reverse Harem (more so in Hanasakeru Sieshounen), Drama, Some Comedy

Differences: Itazura na Kiss' settings are in high school middle class while Hanasakeru Seishounen is set in upper class political influenced by historical happenings.
These two anime seem to give off the same emotions. If you've seen Itazura na Kiss you'll like this one as well
The main character-Kotoko-reminds me of Tuskamoto Tenma: they're wacky personalities and how they try to get the attention of the boy they love
They are both about love between to different kind of lifestyle
The plots for both aren't really similar with Yumeiro focusing on Ichigo pursuing to be a patissiere and Itazura focusing on Kotoko pursuing Naoki's love. Simply put, one's baking and the other's love. But the main thing in both stories is how hard the main female lead works to achieve her goals. Both are initally utterly (well almost) hopeless, ditzy, and klutzy but it's also what makes them lovable.

Both anime are about REAL life. There is no magic, no cliche plot lines, just real life drama and relationships. Toradora has more comedy and less time skips, but it relates to Itazura na Kiss very well. Both show the growing relationships between two people by use of schooling and living together. If you liked InK you'll definitely love Toradora~!
When you look at these shows, I'm surprised-more so shocked that no one has recomended NANA to NA kiss. Fact is, both female leads are similar looking and have a similiar outlook on the male characters. The main difference is, hachi is stuck in a more drama love triangle kind of situation, apposed to an unrequitted love. It's a very easy recomendation, and I believe anyone who enjoyed either NANA or NA Kiss would enjoy the other equally as much
Both of the Main male characters act like they dont care about the main female but yet will protect them the second she is in trouble. Both romantic. Although Itazura na Kiss is so much more longer then Mitsu x Mitsu Drops but still good.
Both are sweet, slice-of-life, shoujo romance stories that involve a dumb, air-headed heroine and one of the guys that she does/may like who does not like her at first.
they're similar because they both have a cold guy who begins to gradually open his heart up to a naiive, spirited girl. though itazura na kiss is more of a slice of life, both anime have some comedy and tell a beautiful love story
Shoujo, lovey dovey romance at its best. They have trouble recognizing their feelings for each other and they eventually realize those feelings
♫same genres (Comedy, Romance)♫

♫they are both romantic comedies in which at the beginning, the girl is into the boy but the boy dislikes her♫
♫there is also marriage theme in them♫

♫the difference i think would be the type of comedy but both are really funny♫
Old but its good
The style of the anime is the same and both the storylines are about love.
With Itazura na Kiss you get more part were you get the chills, because it is sooo sweeet!!!
All in all both animes are different but the characters have similar personalities
Kodocha/Itazura na Kiss
Sana/Kotoko
[Both girls are full of energy]
[Both girls are also not very smart]

Aktio/Naoki
[Both guys are cold and emotionless]
[Both guys are smart]

In both animes the girl ends up teaching the boy a lesson. Both animes are very keen on show how the characters have progressed and grown
Now wait for it.. they both have two people who seem very unlikely to be together.The girl is madly in love with the guy but he doesn't accept her at first, then gives in because he realizes that he wants to be with her.
- Itazura na kiss : house broke down due to earth quake had to move into father's best friend's house, trys to win a guy's heart
-Idol : Parents accident, lives with father's best friend, try to become a star and win everyone's hearts
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! :)
kind of ecchi but abit the same.
Basic similarity: Both animes have a main character female that is cared for by a lot of guys, but one guy is particularly cold to her. La corda has a bit of corniness, with the fairy and all, whereas Itazura is on a somewhat more realistic scale. The lead male, cold and cool, are brilliant and the best at whatever they do (pretty typical), and though have cold exteriors, have kind hearts. One big difference: Itazura has a relationship evolve.
Revelation Anime:D
thing that makes them similar is the girl moves into the guys house
both have the girl loves boy, girl persistantly chases after boy. Styles are both different but same basic concept. while itazura na kiss is more romantic and rizelmine is more on the lighter side.
Kotoko and Seara are very look-alike, they both live in the same house as the guys them love, and both guys have a younger sibling. Also, initially neither guy are interested in them, but their relationship develops throughout the show.
Both animes present a relationship in which one side of the pair refuses to admit that there are any feelings. They both also display that slightly upsetting characteristic of the male being unnecessarily cruel to the girl he loves, but getting forgiven anyway. Lady Gaga would categorize these as "Bad Romance," haha.
Has the familiar love and romance
The first season scored a 10 and season 2 is also on the same lines...10 again! What a fabulous way of creating realistic affection and emotion in Anime, this is genius. I'll recommend this anime series to anyone whose in love with "love" itself or one who loves his friends and family or has fallen in love... even if it was for just a few precious moments...

"Itazura na Kiss" is also about developments of love between two people of completely different personalities. Sawako and Kotoko share similar traits (Sawako is naive and timid while Kotoko is naive and stupid) but both ladies face their challenges head-on. Kazeheya and Naoki are also similar they are both popular guys (Kaze is cheerful while Naoki is aloof), but they aren't honest about their own feelings. Both the anime's also share a fabulous supporting cast and wonderful dose of dramady (comedy + drama).

Great romance stories. You get to watch the relationships develop over time. However Itazurna na kiss is all about the relationship and family dynamic while for Toshokan the romance is just one aspect of it. Toshokan has also comedy and action.

So overall witty and lovable characters, great stories, nice artwork..
Both have the most innocent of romances you're bound to find in any anime. And both develop said romances with such fluidity and patience that it almost comes off as plausible... if they didn't have their own unique-ness about them...
They also have good, but not great, production values but have very memorable lead characters.

Midori Days has a weird fantasy gimmick to help accent both the romance story and the romacne development.

Itazura na Kiss has the difference in intelligence as the unique element. It also comes off as more natural (duh).
Stories are different, but both female heroines are with pure heart, clumsy, always trying to smile (even when they are deeply hurt), they both have just horrible results on their tests.

In both animes main guy tease the girl (sometimes because of her scores).
Two main characters are in love that struggle to be together, and similar character personalities.
