Manga: Doubt
Even tho Doubt is a bit more horror-ish, both manga are about a game which includes death. Kinda different, yet similar.

Manga: Mirai Nikki
-Both protagonists are targeted a lot by others to be taken out -One has people fighting each other to become god while the other has people trying to get their wish to come true and fighting over it later -One has a character with a Yandere girlfriend while the other has a character with a Yandere boyfriend -Arisa gave me the "What if Mirai Nikki was a shoujo manga" vibe

Manga: Pika☆Ichi
They both go to wacko schools which have some sort of social weirdness going on. The main characters are strong and try to abolish the injustice.

Manga: Iris Zero
They're both mystery orientated, though Arisa is more focused on only one big mystery while Iris Zero has little subarcs. And while both have intense, slightly confusing feelings, the reason that causes them is slightly different. The main characters have huge contrasts between them, and yet they're incredibly similar.

Manga: Papillon: Hana to Chou
Twin sisters who look exactly alike and it's psychological.

Manga: Kobayashi ga Kawai sugite Tsurai!!
both involve twins that swap schools both have romance 
reportRecommended by Miki_04
Manga: Yu☆Gi☆Oh!
Both stories deal in combating against the bad guys as well as nice art and character designs and a dash of suspense to them. 
reportRecommended by Disapeared_Ghost
Manga: Partner
Both are manga about twins, but in Arisa, the title character goes into a coma after a suicide attempt while the other twin in Partner gets kidnapped by an evil organization to become a guinea pig for their experiments. As you can tell by reading the synopses and genre tags on MAL, they are both shoujo. However, Arisa lays more heavily on mystery while Partner is more of a sci-fi manga. 
reportRecommended by mavirianalex
Manga: Bokura no Kiseki
Both manga involved a class full of mysteries and they're both trying to find their 'king.' Lots of plot twists, mysteries, and hints of romance (that doesnt play a big part of the stories, which makes it great). 
reportRecommended by inamikan
Manga: Kagen no Tsuki
Both are shoujo mystery themed stories with a ya cast with a female mc as well as nice art and character designs to look at as well too with suspense elements in them. 
reportRecommended by Disapeared_Ghost
Manga: Boku dake ga Inai Machi
Though one is shoujo and one is shounen, Arisa and Erased are both mystery thrillers starring school aged kids. Arisa in particular is unusual for definitely being shoujo in that it has shoujo style art, female protagonists, and a focus on two sisters' relationship as siblings, but it has almost no romance to speak of, instead completely focusing on the plot, so I'd recommend it even for those who normally dislike shoujo.

Manga: Nana-iro Kakumei
Similarities: ~Both have psychological twisted stories ~Both have a main guy who helps the heroine ~Main character is both harassed Nanairo Kakumei: ~Main heroine is a little weak at start, but become strong later. The character growth is real and nice ~The harassing is limited to "psychological" only ~ Clear on the spot antagonist, but for the quality, it is much better. She a lot more reasonable, you even can love her and find yourself supporting her Arisa: ~Main heroine is tough, brave, strong, and confident from the start ~The harassing is "physical" and "psychological" ~ Mysterious antagonist

Manga: Gakuen Alice
Both main characters are female and when they go to a new school they find out schocking things about their school-mates.

Manga: Mitarai-ke, Enjou suru
we love a mystery/revenge thriller 
reportRecommended by ThornheartCat
Manga: Inochi
Similar story in the beginning. In both cases there're twin sisters who were parted for some years swap places, one of them dies and the other decides to live instead the died one. The difference is that in "Arisa" the purpose is to investigate the circumstances of death, while in "Inochi" heroine sacrifise herself to protect her mother. Haven't read the whole "Inochi" thing, but "Arisa" all the way kept the intrigue , the plot is reeealy twisted. 
reportRecommended by Utis
Manga: MAX Lovely!
The art's are somewhat similar, and also their plot is similar in a way. Arisa's mangaka is the creator of Kitchen Princess. Both manga's talk about a group or thing conspiring against them, that result in troublesome situations, but still has some good romance scenes. Although Arisa has less since it just began, and involves trying to help her twin sister. While the heroine in Max Lovely, finds herself targeted for being extremely popular, by a mysterious cult called group *F*.

Manga: Kuranoa
Both are about twins who were apparently good friends, but later an event occurs making them grow apart from each other, while both fight desperately for life and the protagonist tries to find out the mystery related to her sister. Both have a touch of supernatural.  
reportRecommended by Orulyon
Manga: Caste Heaven
Both Caste Heaven and Arisa revolve around a mysterious game the students play at school. The games they play involve a "King". While in Caste Heaven the games decide who will be the King (who will get their every will and command obeyed by everybody), in Arisa there's already a "King" (who grants the winner one wish). The difference in genre is that Caste Heaven is BL while Arisa is shoujo.  read more

Manga: Ousama Game
-Both deal with the "King's Game" concept. -Both stories deal with a classroom that get a weird text saying they are in a game. -Both have all the students turning against each other in order to not get punished by the "King". -Both have that eerie feel to the stories as you keep reading Only difference is that Ousama Game is shonen and people die if they don't do the command that the "King" tells them to do while in Arisa, if people don't obey the "King's" command, they are just injured badly (so it's more softer than Ousama Game) and plus it's a shojo with a mystery to  read more

Both have very pretty covers with flowers and also have very pretty girls 
reportRecommended by bellerose
Manga: ənígmə
While the main plot may seem a lot different, both stories revolve around high school students who are kind of on an adventure to find out their school's deadly secret. On one hand, Enigma is supernatural, Arisa is solely psychological. Both are intense and the final revelation crushes your heart. But both end on a nice note.
