Both are shoujo anime, feature a love build up between characters and lots of comedy in between.
Both Kimi ni Todoke and Lovely Complex both deal with a very awkward love between two individuals that progresses very slowly. And during the show, the side characters support the two main characters and have their own little romantic dramas. The characters and style of the show feel very similar, even though lovely complex is a little more comedic than Kimi ni Todoke,both have their funny moments...Sawako and Risa make the most interesting facial expressions!
Main characters very similar, with kind of the same interests.
Both are slow developing romances, but leave large impacts on your heart and mind and are full of drama-- making you want to claw your screen to pieces :] (but we all know that's why we love the drama)
shoujo fans...if u watched kimi ni todoke last year dont miss this one !!!..i think u didnt miss but still who are new to shoujo anime O_O u better watch both!!!
Though the Heroine of the Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun is uncaring compared to KNT's heroine, the experience and story it portrays are extremely similar. Experiencing different feelings for the first time, learning to make friends, enjoying High School life to the fullest, etc...
Both main characters have scary appearances, but their personalities do not match how they look(or more so, how other people look at them).
Feeling of a shy little girl (not good at social) falling in love with a popular boy in Hiyokoi is like Sawako (not good at social) falling in love with Kazehaya (popular boy) in Kimi ni Todoke. Except there's no rivals to fight against in Hiyokoi.
Both are romance and i suppose both have hints of humor, its too early to tell yet about kimi no todoke but its probably going to have a clannad like ending as so many animes have now
Kare Kano begins with two characters who don't realize that they have fallen for each other. As the series develops, the characters learn, grow, and come to accept themselves (and each other) just as they are. The theme of character growth is similarly laid out in Kimi ni Todoke.
Both are anime made for girls that guys can really like. If you're a guy and you like realistic/idealistic romance anime than this is for you.
Both are very tender and warm.

The animation and the atmosphere that both give you is the same.
Although they differ in the genre, both animes give you a peaceful happy feeling. They also are about friendship and bonds. The main charas, Natsume and Sawako are also alike: they are very shy and at the beggining have a hard time, because they cant express themselves and so other people think of them as weird persons, but with the help of their friends they slowly start to open their hearts.
While Kimi Ni Todoke is more "slice of life" and less fantasy than Fruits Basket, they have a similar feel. The protagonist is a girl who is very sweet, and her kindness (or some might say naivety) touches the hearts of the people around her. Furuba is a little bit sillier; KimiTo toes the line on being a bit too saccharine. Tohru and Sadako both have two good girlfriends who are somewhat of social outcasts; Arisa and Chizu are VERY similar characters. Both series have a pretty soft color palette, although personally I think the art in KimiTo is a bit better. If you liked the cute, romantic side of Furuba, you'll love KimiTo.
These two anime seem to give off the same emotions. If you've seen Itazura na Kiss you'll like this one as well
Both anime focus on hilarious comedy with lots of chibified scenes. Moreover they tell a romance shoujo story. Both female leads are very funny and the male counterparts are no idiots. Those two shows are not your usual romance comedy anime but truly something special.
Both the main characters are very charismatic. School rumble has a lot more comedy, whereas Kimi ni Todoke is slower paced and a bit more shoujo. But, they're both romantic comedies that are fun to watch.

straight forward love
they're both sparkly romances but KNT progresses alot slower than NL since its 2 season vs 1 episode
They both have the same atmosphere, high school romance.
Kimi ni Todoke is a very sweet and cute anime. The story relies on the building of the relationships and leaves you smiling. However, it isn't as funny as Ouran High School Host Club but i definitely would recommend it.
While watching Usagi Drop, I couldn't stop thinking about how much it reminded me of Kimi Ni Todoke. They both have similar artwork, and both series has that light, fluffy, flowery air about them. Both wonderful stories as well, though there's nothing very similar between plot lines.
There like because how both main characters are innocent and wanna make friends but there classmates are scared of there appearances just shows you shouldn't judge book by its cover.
Both the main characters from Ookiku Furikabutte and Kimi ni Todoke are high schoolers that appear as outcasts from their classmates. They first show up as shy and sensitive individuals, but with the help of a close knit of friends, both characters begin to develop and mature into more confident individuals. Both animes do a great job at showing the character development and character interaction.

Difference wise, Ookiku is a sports anime centered heavily around shounen baseball. Kimi is a lighter, shoujo romance comedy centered around relationships.
They are both romance anime but with more drama. More ups and down, but very sweet ending like kimi ni todoke.
similar design
shows the senses of lovers, and the situation in which they fall
They both have extremely similar pastel-looking art styles and center around sweet, somewhat angst, romance. Just Aoi Hana focuses on a homosexual relationship, whereas Kimi ni Todoke focuses on a heterosexual relationship.
The stories maybe very different, one is about romance while the other is about supernatural. But both animes give a very similar feeling-warming and touching. The 2 main characters, Natsume and Sawako are very lonely at first and later make friends that changed their life.
Both series emit a sort of nostalgic feeling that makes you feel calm and happy when you watch them (at least for me it did). Kobato and Sawako are socially awkward but in a good way; they are both naive, honest, and very considerate of others but they can be a bit overdramatic exceeding others' expectations. To a certain extent both are slice of life animes, although Kobato's got Clamp's usual magical elements and cross-over characters and Todoke's got Sawako's Sadako (the Ring, if you know what I mean) misunderstanding. The nostalgic feeling, lovable characters, cute plots, and the comedic moments would surely make you keep watching.

Kimi ni Todoke has a lot in common with Gokinjo Monogatari. They are both high school love stories, fairly slice of life, and feature adorable chibis. I think the art style is also comparable, though Kimi ni Todoke is certainly a much softer style. If you're looking for a romance and coming of age story, either is a great choice.

Both are about a main character that is socially awkward(although Fu is more clumsy than socially awkward) that becomes friends with girls from school(each with their own unique personality) and begin to have more confidence in themselves and more determination to complete their goals(Sawako;Do one good deed a day.Fu;become a photographer).Kimi Ni Todoke is a romance,while Tamayura:Hitotose is a slice of life.Kimi Ni Todoke is more centered around Sawako,while Tamayura:Hitotose main character is Fu,but centers around all four girls and the things they do together.
These two might not seem very similar at first glance, but both series have an adorable, very slow pure love story to them. If you enjoy the romance in Emma, I think you might like Kimi ni Todoke and vice versa.
Although on the surface extremely different, and not necessarily for everyone who liked the other, both stories are actually rather sweet tales of coming out of one's shell and falling into a slow, but very much deeply-held love. Although Sawako never flipped out and chopped the people picking on her in half (while Sattelizer does) the adorable refreshing/freezing romantic comedy that drives both are surprisingly similar.
It all starts off with that one misunderstood girl, the girl that no one talks to, the girl that is always rumoured to be something they're not. No one knows the real Amu or Sawako. But their lives start to change when they both have an encounter with the one popular guy that changes it all.
Yuiina and Kurumi look alike and the overall atmosphere of both animes is very refreshing. Also both have a unique look into the slice of life, romantic anime....Both definitely worth the time put into them
Both have a main character who struggles with social anxiety.
If you're looking for NOT passionate (steamy) romance, it may be perfect for you.
Though Kimi ni Todoke is about a social reject and a popular boy, and Ultra Maniac is about two relatively popular people, both are about two characters that like each other but don't want the other to know.
Ultra Maniac is also semi magic-girl, as the best friend of the main character is one, but other than that, the love stories are both slow but sweet, and the boys both seem like boring, static characters, but are actually deep people who aren't what they seem. Love them both! If you liked one, you'll probably like the other.
The are a bit alike because it all about friendship. Friendship is one of the most inportant thing in these anime's, except for love. The girls who play the main rule are kind hearted, innocent, sweet, a little bit naive and dull and the are a little bit different. In the end, the are loved by there friends. AnoHana is only a much more sorrowfull than Kimi in Todoke, but in a good way. The are both good anime's pleas watch and enjoy :)
Both are cute romantic comedies revolving around a girl who is different and alienated. Both girls are eventually able to become sociable and feel comfortable with they way they are. This is because they both have a respective boy who is crazy about them and wants to help them :D


If you are searching for a beautiful love story, these series may fulfill your wish ^^
amazing happy-ending love story
If you're looking for NOT passionate (steamy) romance, it may be perfect for you.
Both are about love, school, & how the two main characters fall for one another! <3
Despite the fact that one is shounen and the other is shoujo, they are actually quite similar to each other as far as the atmosphere and the way the shows ~feel~. The romance in both is slow and quite adorable. Rea and Sawako also have somewhat similar personalities.
Both have that calm and sweet feeling in it. Friends, love problems etc. If you like one you should like another.
not about baseball or any sport. but both have that "awww" cute love feeling.
When I see Kimi ni Todoke and appreciate its peaceful and charming atmosphere I only could compare to Aria series atmosphere.

If you really want to enjoy both series you must let go by these unique and so slow, charming animes and their proposals.
Both anime are rather lighhearted high school comedy romances, that does not rely on ecchi elements for popularity, though Karin (unlike Kimi ni Todoke) have fantasy setting.

In both animes the female protagonist is an outcast and are negleted and/or bullied by other classmates. However both girls seem to attract the most popular guy in the school despite their social status. They also indure many struggles such as abuse and crude jokes by their classmates and often had to deal with the dangerous jealousies of the other females who felt they were better. I loved both of these anime and it really shows how the underdog despite their disadvantages can be happy and have it all to.
Both are romantic, light and show the innocence of true love. Both anime are cute. The only difference is that gakuen heaven has BL content, while kimi ni todoke is harem.
Sawako Kuronuma and Ryoushi Morino share the same type of char which is near the bottom if not bottom of the date list, yet still manage to find love. However, both anime's take on unique differences whether good or bad.
Both are romantic dramas that take place during high school.
The overall feel and cuteness level are the same. Likewise being big on the eye candy factor.
The female protagonists are alike too. They're both social outcasts due to their appearance. Sawako is believed to have supernatural powers where as Lydia actually does.

One is shojo romance other is shonen but I felt the same watching both. I mean the sensation of platonic love with both sides being afraid of confessions and making first move. These are not dynamic love stories with sudden changes of heart and quarrels but slowpaced natural development of close relationship.
"If you tremble at each step, how do you wanna walk?" - This question deals with the main girls problems in both animes:
Kimi ni Todoke and Hitohira share two big similitaries:
First, the female main character is so adoring (her personality), you'd love to help her with all her problems.
Second, both girls have got problems, either to find friends or too really be open and live life. Kimi ni Todoke, Sawako (Sadako) is just too shy to find friends, as well because she always was sort of "bullied" cause of her name and her "weird" charisma. In Hitohira, the girl is too shy to speak (in front of others) and to put through her opinion and feelings. (By the way, Kimi ni Todoke deals more with romance, and is - personally - the better anime)
Both girls start to change positiv as time progresses and have to overcome their own "borders".
-Both animes involves love problems as the main plot.
-School Life/Drama
Both have nail-bitingly frustrating misunderstandings caused over the most minor of things.
Both series are relatively slow paced high school love stories. The plot of both shows revolve around two friends coming to develop feelings for the other.

The main characters also share some similarity in their desire to be cute or girly, rather than the appearance they give off. Kimi ni Todoke's Sawako being creepy and unapproachable, while Sasameki Koto's Sumika is cool and masculine.
Similar art, atmosphere and characters.

School + romantic + comedy + history of first love.
Both are very tender and warm.

Both series are done in simular styles. They deal with two individuals who don't fit into their world normally and the issues of starting to fit in.
A secret love story between the two main characters. The female leads are so similar it's scary and also the male leads have the same effect on the females

While I was first watching Kimi ni Todoke I realized how much the Art Style and The Music was. They don't really have a lot in common genre wise, but it has that supernaturalness to it but, (there really is spirits). If you're looking for Art and Music it's got it! ;D

(PS: Go to Natsume Yuujinchou, Zoku is the sequel but it wouldn't let me chose it..This is my first time if you can't tell. ^^; sorry.)
