The leading characters in each manga have a very similar dynamic in terms of how they interact with each other.
These mid-length shoujo titles both focus on an initially lost heroine who discovers herself and winds up in romantic drama along the way. More than that, though, they shine when it comes to their ensemble casts: groups of eccentric and talented high school students. The bonds of deep friendship are just as important as those of romance.
Both of these mangas deal with a character who doesn't really have any friends and doesn't really belong. This character ends up meeting various eccentric type people who become her friends and introduce her to a different life.
The series are structurally similar, with both focused around a listless, unmotivated teenage girl who meets and befriends a group of unusual but talented peers whose drive and support inspires her to make and pursue her own dreams.
Same feeling. Both are about friendship, love, fashion world and eccentric personalities.
Both are wonderful slice of life stories with some similarities:
El Liston = Paradise Kiss
Momiji = Miwako
Rei = Arashi
Paradise Kiss is more mature, though. But if you like one, you'll certainly enjoy the other.
Both are about a "normal" girl who befriends a group of misfits and falls in love along the way.
Both manga are about a rather good-looking heroine who is going through life without a clear idea of her future. She meets an eccentric group of people who drastically change her life and help guide her to her path (as cheesey as that sounds). Both of the endings are unexpected, especially when you first start reading the story.

Made by the same creator, both full of drama and concentrate on human relations.
Both series are about the lives and relationships of young women. Both are created by Ai Yazawa.
In both NANA and Paradise Kiss, author Yazawa Ai again explores young women's paths toward independence, love, and self-identity in these edgy, dramatic series.
This is Yazawa Ai's manga, author of ParaKiss, too. Both are romances with tragedy and funny elements. Drawing is oryginal and, in my opinion, wonderful.

They both revolve around the world of modeling. Paradise kiss is more dramatic and realistic, while The One is really hilarious..it's really hard to stop laughing. But still in both mangas the main chars have a unique personality and they're really something to enjoy.
~ Fashion World, here I comes!
Yukari who got forced to be a fashion model for ParaKiss and Lele who follows her moms steps to be a model but later obliged to do so by her Aunt. High Schools girls who conquers the fashion scene and took them by storm. They got cute, reliable bestfriends and loved an egoist, sadistic man. George and Eros who both never fails to grabbed someone's attention were very talented in their specific fields.
Paradise Kiss is josei while The One is shoujo so expect the latter to be light so more comedic scenes involve. Feast yourself with pretty art, photo shoot, men, dresses, make-up, etc.
Both stories revolve around modelling and each of the characters have their own unique personalities.
Both about the fashion industry and the love that blooms within it - also a great laid-back comedy.. Although the one is manhua and parakiss manga, if you're willing to step out of the square and have a read, it might be great!

annarasumanara's magician reminds me of george from paradise kiss - both manga are about people who create real magic through their creations - both have beautiful female leads who don't realize they're beatiful until george/the magician show them they're beautiful - both have wonderful art...
In both, the main character is set on studying hard to get into a good college to get a good job, but later on, a certain person makes the main character realize what they really want. In Annarasumanara, it's the magician that makes Yoon Ah-ee realize her passion for magic; in Paradise Kiss, it's George that makes Yukari realize her passion for modeling. The difference is that Paradise Kiss is romantic, while Annarasumanara is psychological.

The Mnagaka is the same. And both mangas are similar in both genre and characters. The main characters in Paradise Kiss are children of those in Gokinjo Monogatari. although ParaKiss has more drama in the end they are both really good. They have romance in them. but are still very life-like.

Both about Fashion Design
|
|
|
In both the female lead turns to modelling. However, the difference is that in FG, the girl had already modeled before as a child while in PK the girl had never modeled before. Both come to realization of how important modeling is to them and chooses to enter the industry. PK has a more realistic approach while FG is lighter. Regardless, both are good reads.

The mangas are aimed for older teens with interesting matters.
|
|
|
They both have to deal with an modeling career. Also they both have a romance with relationship challenges to deal with.
|
|
|
Though these mangas look like they have nothing in common i think they do have similar genres involving the main characters growth and finding their own paths and both artworks are unique in their own rite.
I loved reading Paradise kiss because it isnt a typical shoujo manga and really pulls you in with the character development and that the same with the other side of the mirror.

Both are josei with a realistic, not always happy plot. Characters are not perfect, with their own problems and defects. In Paradise Kiss and Sakamichi no Apollon protagonists (Yukari, Kaoru) are searching for their place in life.

They both contain the same art style and have a similar atmosphere throughout the story. In addition, the female protagonists are both immersed in a new-found world that transforms them into a confident fashionista. In the end they both search for some sort of love in there new life. Even though Paradise Kiss is about fashion while MANA is about a ghosts they both have similar qualities.

Both plots center around a domineering yet insecure female in the world of fashion. The art styles are quite similar too.
|
|
|
Both the main heroines are discovered by guys they later fall for and they both enter the entertainment industry.
|
|
|
Both manga are about finding new people and meeting new friends in a different environment and finding a first love. What I found similar was the emphasis on all the "firsts" and the outcome versus the expectation. I loved both (enough to give them tens) and I would strongly recommend them.

It's also manga by brilliant Ai Yazawa. She was making these two comics at the same time. They have diffrent plot but same characters and atmosphere . Paradise Kiss is more realistic but both are telling us about true feeling between people.
|
|
|
Amost same character stereotypes, where paradise kiss has more serious relationship issues and personal lessons. If you liked this you'll LOVE paradise kiss.

Similar art styles. The genres are very very different, so double-check the summaries first just in case.
|
|
|
Both of them deal with fashion.
Kuragehime is funnier than ParaKiss though.
|
|
|
Both are dramatic and confused romantic stories that revolve around the modeling and fashion world.
|
|
|
Each of these series takes a realistic look at the complex people and relationships in our world. Especially remarkable is their respectable and likable portrayals of transgendered characters: Isabella in Paradise Kiss, and most of the cast of Hourou Musuko.
|
|
|
More soap opera-esque, but has the same enjoyable characters, strong girl protagonist and romantic ditherings that made ParaKiss so good. A lot of cute clothes in this one, too.
|
|
|
If you want a shorter and slightly less dramatic filled plot than Para Kiss, Lovenista would be good. In Lovenista there is still love triangles, make-up artists, and a girl with a great complexion. However instead of an overbearing playboy, there is a gang-leader who works as a host and dreams of being a make-up artist.

Similar fashion, plain and shy girl with a group of outstanding and beautiful people

Both are about an average high school girl, set in her ways and bored with her everyday life, suddenly motivated by an older man of ambiguous moral inclination to pursue a career in something she ends up having a knack for. One is photography, the other modelling, so there's a fair bit of overlap in character roles as well, and the way the romantic angle is worked in each is quite similar.
|
|
|
Both series have a normal high school girl who suddenly finds herself swept up in learning about fashion after a chance encounter and pursues the affection of a young man immersed in the newly discovered world whose own feelings and intentions are not always so easy to discern.
|
|
|
Both stories start with girls very focused on their studies, and then, meet some strange and bizarre group.
|
|
|
Both are dramatic and romantic. The female protagonists have a similar love life.
