Both are heartwreching tragedy themed series, set in similar surroundings and with similar characters.

The story is narrated from the young male lead's point of view, who becomes fascinated by a sick girl who rests very near to him. The male leads are in similar contrast to the girl in that they aren't in prime health, but have a future in front of them and know when they will leave their hospital surroundings, while the girl is, in each case, clinging to her memories, trying to live as best as she can under her conditions in the now, and awayting the inevitable death. For the girl, the boy becomes both her escape and her tie to reality.

But despite the similarities, they both are distinct series with characters strong in their own right, with different motives.

Both series are shoujo, meaning they are strongly focused on humans and emotions. Hanbun no tsuki is longer, but as far as series go, it's still short.

Hotori and Hanbun no tsuki are very close to each other in plot, theme and execution. If you liked one of them, you'll almost certainly like the other.
