Manga: Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan
If you like Rurouni Kenshin you might like Kaze Hikaru. The time setting of both series is the same. Kaze Hikaru is like a shojo counterpart of Kenshin. Both are historical tale with sword fights, samurai and bushi. Kaze Hikaru contains a fluffy tale or romance, to sweet and very innocent. You guys should check it out. Also being publish by Viz.

Manga: Sora wa Akai Kawa no Hotori
The main female characters both are strong and are evenly matched with the men. They find themselves in unfamiliar settings and adapt for what and who is important to them. In all, Yuri and Sei are similar and have drive.

Manga: Bakumatsu Koi Hana Shinsengumi
Both are about girls who work hard in order to become great samurai. In Kaze Hikaru she has to hide the fact that she is a woman, in BKHS everybody already knows she is female.

Manga: Hajime-chan ga Ichiban!
Both of those are by Watanabe Taeko, so they have similar art style. While the settings are different, both have that warm and emotional feeling.

Manga: Toshokan Sensou: Love & War
Both manga star a tomboyish girl that joins a task force of sorts (a library defense force in one case, the policing corps of the Shinsengumi in the other). Due to this, in both there is also quite a bit more action, as well as conflicts of a political nature, than your typical shoujo manga. And in addition, in both the MCs end up having feelings for the superior they look up to (though the romance is much more slow burn in Kaze Hikaru).

Manga: Qi Shi Gong Zhu

Manga: Ouran Koukou Host Club
Although Kaze Hikaru is longer and isn't complete yet, the way that Tamaki from Ouran High School Host Club acts is just like him! (except from the 'oni' thing) As the series goes on you'll also notice a very, very similar point in their personalities! No spoilers here but if you liked one, you'll definetely like the other for the TAMAKI-NESS/SOUJI-NESS!

Manga: Versailles no Bara
Both are based on historical events with a few fictional characters added as a main characters. They both also have female leads dressed as men and are skilled swordsman; though in "Kaze Hikaru", Sei has to hide that she is a girl, while in "Rose of Versailles", everyone is aware that Oscar is a girl.

Manga: Basara
Kaze Hikaru and Basara have a lot of similarities. Both heroine disguises theirselves as a man to avenge their families death. Both is somewhat a historical piece of work. This two series are not to miss if you love shojo, not only shojo, but a series that offers great entertainment and well crafted storyline. Both contains a strong heroine and cast of characters. Both have its share of romance. Not to mention that both are an award winning piece of work. Underhyped that should not be missed. Check it out!

Manga: Ashi-Girl
“Ashi-Girl” is basically the Sengoku period isekai version of “Kaze Hikaru” (Bakumatsu period) - except wackier and the male lead isn’t as dense. “Kaze Hikaru” is much more of a slow burn and more realistic, citing lots of historical events. “Ashi-Girl” has a plot where the heroine wants to alter history and “Kaze Hikaru” flows with existing historical events. Both are great comedic shoujo historicals.

Manga: Kusuriya no Hitorigoto
Both "Kaze Hikaru" and "The Apothecary Diaries" have female protagonists who are small but assertive about their passions (in a comedic way). Mao Mao is very clever in a Sherlock Holmes sort of way and Sei has an instinct that tends to get her into trouble. The dynamics between the girls and their love interests hits a similar comedic vein. Sei is on the serious side and since it's shoujo, pines after the aloof Soji. Mao Mao is seemingly indifferent to Jinshi's advances but they're cute together and help each other out throughout the story. Both series are historicals, one is set in Japan's bakumatsu  read more

Manga: Kaze yo, Banri wo Kake yo
These manga both tell the tale of a young girl who joins an army for the sake of her family. Clearly well-researched, these are perfect titles for shoujo fans who like historical titles, gender-bending, and a pinch of romance.

Manga: Tenka Ichi!
Kaze hikaru is similar to Tenka Ichi in how the protagonists pretend to be males to blend in with the rest of the males in their troupe.
