Bokura ga Ita

Sunadokei addpermalink

I think these two mangas are really similar because of two reasons: first of all, in both of them, one of the main characters faces the death of a dear person - but later falls in love with someone who helps him/her to get over it.
Secondly, in the later parts, these mangas deal with long distance relationship. 
I highly recommend both of them.

Same feeling, pure love, and protagonists who won't stop loving the same guy, however difficult it may be. Love triangles in both, although they're very refreshing. Two mangas that are really worth reading.

Both are good cliche shoujo romantic drama stories. The simplistic and sincere art and storytelling distinguish them from others in way that the emotions slowly but deeply seeps into the heart.

The story is the same in the sense that both characters are in mutual love, but  circumstances of the guy pull them apart. Specifically, the death of someone that makes the guy 1.) broken - blaming their self, unable to trust and love again 2.) sympathetic of others (girl-potential hindrance) who share the same experience, feeling responsibility, unable to leave them.
And all this while, the girl is left confused and hurting - so another guy comforts her.

Fate plays a major role in their so-near-yet-so-far relationships.  read more

Koishitagari no Blue addpermalink

Both Bokura ga Ita and Koishitagari no Blue involve a love square --- two guys and two girls are all in love with someone who loves someone else. The main female protagonists are "used" by the main male protagonists as fake girlfriends. The male protagonists seem outwardly happy and joking around; they secretly undergo emotional anguish from the memory of previous loves. 

The chemistry between the male and female lead is profound; however, complications arise and lead to misunderstandings. In addition, both works give off a feeling of yearning with just the correct drop of angst mixed in.

  Love, betrayal, and a lot of tears. Both might start off slow, but the minute it gets good, it stays that way. When you start reading, it'll be hard to stop. The main characters both have a similar problem, where they fall in love with the popular boy, but because of something tragic, it ends. And if it can't get any more similar, they start something with their ex's (THAT popular boy) best friend. Amazing story, and I recommend it for anyone who's up for a crying session.

Nana addpermalink

I can't believe no one has said anything about the similarities of Bokura ga Ita and NANA!!
Like... in the later chapters, when they separate, it is very much like Hachi & her search for Nana.
&& Let's not forget how in each story, 2 girls are named Nana!

The style in the later chapters is so similar...
The inner monologues... "What are you doing now, Yano?" That screams Nana to me! I was thinking, "Hey... was this written by the same mangaka??"

At first, I thought this was going to be a cute love story... but it has the deeper, darker aspects much like in Nana (though not as dark as Nana). read more

While Bokura Ga Ita features younger characters, they appear more mature in the way they analyze situations. While the story line is different, the characters in both stories work hard to help the ones around them find happiness. The overall atmosphere is similar, alternating between melancholy and small burst of light happiness.

If you enjoy L-DK, Bokura ga Ita is a must read! Both main male characters are the "it" factor in school, and both have sad backgrounds in "love". 

Both female characters, dislike the main at first but then fall in love. Its such a sappy romance on the mangas, but like L-DK Bokura ga Ita has many surprises, and is full of laughs. Bokura ga Ita is a little more serious but is so worth the read!

Both stories go in a similar direction. The main males Taki in "360 Degrees Material", and Yano in "Bokura Ga Ita" have an "ex" that somehow interferes in their relationships. Then there's the nice, sweet, helpful, and caring guy friend who helps the female protagonist overcome her struggles and eventually falls in love with her. Similar story lines, but a twist in plot. Both are entertaining manga to read. ^.^

Aishiteruze Baby and Bokura ga Ita both have a very slow paced plot line.

They each have a relationship obstacle that the main characters must try and over come through out the series.

Hot Road addpermalink

Sometimes life sucks. And sometimes, when your lucky, you might be able to find a manga that shows you a bit of that life. Of course, there's still some good moment, and some bad. While the plots of both manga has nothing alike, I feel like I'm almost there with them. Both manga has that boy, who would have never guessed they would fall in love with someone. The art is simple, but in a good way, because I feel it fits the best in these stories.While Bokura Ga ita might be labeled as a shoujo, I feel they both have a josei kind of feel. There could be more small similarities in both manga, but I'm already boring you. What is there not to like? Try it if you love those tear jerking, bitter love, sweet moments, kind of manga.  read more

Kimi ni Todoke addpermalink

These are both character-driven stories and are kind of melodramatic. The source of drama is totally different hence these two manga are also completely different, but they are both really good and really amazing. Both have really strong heroines and really cool male protagonists. Kazehaya (Kimi ni Todoke) and Yano (Bokura ga Ita) are both popular among girls but their approach was totally different. While Kazehaza always holds himself back in order to wait for his girl, Yano kind of forces his ways onto his girl. The guys are also very mature, kind of, in a way, which makes the two stories a whole lot more interesting.

The heroines, in spite of being strong character themselves, can also be annoying at times, but still they add a bit of spice to the story. In Kimi ni Todoke, it was more of Kuronuma understanding herself while it was more of Takahashi understanding Yano on the other. 

Girl friendships is the secondary point of Kimi ni Todoke although there are also times when Ryuu and Kazehaza have their guy moments. But it was more like the usual I-can-tell-what-you're-thinking-even-though-you-don't-tell-me-anything boy friendship. I though it was so Japanese! On the other hand, Yano's friendship with Takeuchi is more open, and kind of borders to rivalry as well. Sometimes, it's also good to hear what guys usually talk about so this style is also  refreshing. Takahashi's side on the other hand, doesn't really show much girl friendship.

In terms of art, silence is used really well too. Although I like Bokura ga Ita better if we talk about that. Overall art however goes to Kimi ni Todoke. Overall story? These two are romance stories that are really worth it. In this matter, there is nothing more to say, but just go read it.  read more

Character traits are similar along with situations the characters are put in. Both of these manga have nice arts and a captivating stories. Like Bokura ga Ita, in Sukitte Ii na yo the main characters relationship is formed at the begging of the series. Both Bokura ga Ita and Sukitte Ii na are focusing not really how the main characters get together but the things they face in their relationship which makes their love stronger.

PS: If you love Bokura ga Ita, then Sukitte Ii na yo is a manga for you to read. It's not exactly like Bokura ga Ita(and although I love Bokura ga Ita more), Sukitte Ii na yo is still very good! read more

For some reason, this two mangas give me similar vibe. The romance starts from the girl getting interested in her schoolmate, which eventually turns into love. His feelings are a bit unclear at the begining. The girl doesn't have much love experience but she's facing the love head on. The boy is kind of mysterious. And of course like in (almost) every shoujo manga, we have additional people in love with our main characters.
Both mangas just give you the 'realistic' vibe and show the growth of the characters in the relationship.
