Arisa addpermalink

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.

I'm shocked no one recommended this yet, they're so similar.
Male MC's are both smart serious guys who likes to stay out of attention,
then female lead also likes the MC, same atmosphere (most of the time light-hearted, then sometimes heavy too) so if you're reading this and haven't read either one, I really wish you find the time to enjoy these.

A lonely protagonist, detached from society because they were once considered inapt in the academy. Even tought iris zero is not an RPG, we can see as how the protagonist is really inteligent in solving problems in which, they didn't look out for, but were forced to take.

These two are so similar. The main character can amazingly 'see through' people, since they're good at figuring people out. The main guy is antisocial. One main character from both mangas are popular. The main characters get bullied. The romances are adorable and the characters are unique. If you like one, you'll like the other.

Doubt! addpermalink

Both manga develop much romantic tension among the main characters, and both are stellar in regards to the main protagonist. Too often, anime/manga feature a male protagonist who is either perverted, ridiculously dense, or just idiotic—but the male protagonists in both Doubt! and Iris Zero act intelligently and appropriately given the situation. 

Both male protagonists are also very similar in that they hold a peculiar set of ideals and unique traits that make them enjoyable to read.

It has a similar "feel" if that makes any sense.
It's similar in that it has a main character that is "normal" but special in his/her own way, but who helps solve the problems of his/her friends. While everyone that surrounds him/her has a special "ability"

Also, it holds a lot of mystery of the characters background stories (that are intertwined) that is slowly revealed throughout the story.

Although Iris Zero isn't really about a detective solving cases, the main character does solve things with his amazing deductive abilities and powers of observations Just like Conan in Case Closed (Detective Conan). Iris Zero has a more supernatural theme while Case Closed is purely about a kid genius detective. Regardless of the difference, both are amazing and if you like reading about a character coming to conclusions through their powers of observation, definitely read both!

Throughout both series, they get into conflicts with others with supernatural gifts that sometimes puts their lives at jeopardy.

In both manga, the main protagonist is a male student who is both shunned and hated by nearly everyone in school. They are both ostracized for reasons that aren't their fault, with Toru from Iris Zero being an outcast for having been born with no special powers at all, while Tsumugi from Mukuchi na Bakemono is also an outcast because his parents are jailed murderers.  Furthermore, only a handful or less than a handful of other students are even willing to approach them.

Toru is born into a world where powers are normal, and he is isolated because he has no power.
Touma lives in a city where powers are normal, but not quite the majority. He has no 'power' per se, only a strange, unexplainable ability called "Imagine Breaker".
They're both really good.

Witch Craft Works addpermalink

Despite having different premises, Iris Zero and Witch Craft Works takes up a concept involving supernatural powers and creates a story with unusual gimmicks. The main male protagonist is a normal guy who one day gets acquainted (in Iris Zero with a confession) with a popular girl at school. From there on, the story shows their relationship and the circumstances that revolves around them. There is supernatural powers involved in both series although Iris Zero also has a psychological essence to the story. Give both a try if you're interested in modern supernatural series.

Aku no Hana addpermalink

While both series aren't on the same level of psychological tendencies, they both have bits of that background. 

Both series also takes place at a school life setting where the main male character meets another popular female character. However, between the two of them, they often deal with strange circumstances.

There is also somewhat of a 'love triangle' although it's played as less dramatic but rather in a more psychological way in both series.

In general, both has a more serious tone than traditional romance manga titles.

Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru - Episode 7: Requiem of the Golden Witch addpermalink

Iris Zero/Toru are quite similar to Umineko Ep7/Will and, to a lesser degree, Ep5/Battler. In both manga/sound novels, the three characters place great emphasis on the motive, the whydunnit of the mystery/crime. They "don't forget about the heart" of the culprit and try to figure it out even after knowing the whodunnit and howdunnit rather than just giving up from the start and waiting for a confession from the culprit.

Both mangas have a main guy who is an introvert and both have a motto related to their anti-people/worldness. These main guys are both extremely good at solving mysteries and similarly, they deduce them. The main girls are both cute and they both ask the main guy for help. These main guys always give into their whims. They also have similar supporting characters. Both pretty light-hearted and similar style/plot.

Tantei Gakuen Q addpermalink

In both Tantei Gakuen Q and Iris Zero, the main character's amazing powers of observation helps them deduce what happened or hypothesize what has happened. However, Iris Zero has more of a fantasy feel to it as it deals with supernatural abilities, while Tantei Gakuen Q is more "real life" based. Both have a slight comedic feel to it however Tantei Gakuen Q is more detective related while Iris Zero is more daily life of the main character as he gets pulled into things. Both are really good, especially if you like reading about the deductions and all the little details that most people would miss! I definitely recommend reading both! read more
