both are about energetic elementary girls. the story and characters are very similar.
Both manga have a main girl character who is energetic and funny. They also both feature a trouble making boy in the class who initially hates the main girl. They both revolve around school and have their comedy along with dramatic moments.
as i read the first few chapter of GA, it does resembles Kodocha in some ways except for the ALice or powers of course, the main Guy on both series have this absurd & cold personality & loves to tease the main heroine at first, but later, the main heroine is the one who becomes the reason why they change for good.
&& also its kinda cute to see a kid's pure LOVE <3 isn't it? :)
Expect a nice blend of comedy, drama, and romance from these two stories.
Character-wise: The main characters are quite similar-->
Both girls first did not like the trouble-making guy (basically because they could control their monkey classroom with just a cold demeanor), so they stand up and eventually try to bring happiness to them. These guys start falling in love with her compassion and doing what they can to protect her. (Moreso for Kodomo than Gakuen Alice, probably because G.A. focuses on more supporting characters)
A wonderful girl with a blossoming young love from a boy in the class... Smell the moe-flowers blooming in the air, right? WRONG.
Not only do their relationships face amazing drama/tragedy (away from the cute-cute-moe-young-child relationship that was first expected) , but their plots altogether move away from the "same old, same old" story into an awe-inspiring manga.
You will laugh, you will cry, and you follow their road seeing what is right & wrong in the world. These characters may appear like cute children, which they look like for the most part, but they also face an difficult path of action and/or reality.
Both are these mangas are fully recommended, as they are wonderful stories that would just pull you in. [Although I pointed out the similarities plot-wise, their stories are VERY different & highly original]
The main characters are really similar Mikan and Sana Akito and Nastume Ruca and Tsunayoshi (sorta) and then they have a bunch of crazy classmates also there is more than meets the eye for both of the mangas and they interestingly develop as it goes on I LOVE BOTH OF THEM
the mangas are just sooo similar..
Sana/Mikan-The cheerfulness, both dont have real parents,both helped a boy,then fall in love in the boy...
Akito/Natsume-both of them were bad in the beginning,because of their pasts,but they were healed from a girls,then fall in love
Luka/Nao-well nao is not akitos best friend like luka and natsume,but they both give up on their love for the other boys and always support the girls
Iinchou/tsuyoshi-err..the glasses xD, i don't know but they are really similar
etc etc all the romance,comedy,drama,tears everything is so similar and awesome I fell inlove in both mangas
The main girls are almost exactly the same, except one has magic powers and the other one has acting skills. Natsume and Akito are both cold with dark pasts but get influenced by the main girl, and fall in love with her. Akito shows more feeling than Natsume does, but both are about as sweet on the inside.
Both series start off in the same way, with a girl who is in a rowdy class but then she challenges the leader and defeats him. The girl starts off with a really bad impression of him, but that changes when she learns more about him.
Both have love triangles between the main girl, a cold guy (Akito/Natsume), and a nice guy (Luka/Naozumi), but it's obvious who she's going to end up with.
Both series are about kids in the same age group, and have the similar theme of "adults are just humans and therefore are not always right".
Gakuen Alice is fantasy while Kodocha is slice of life.

Whilst being two completely different storylines....they both share alot of common elements and plot lines.....If you like one, you will definately like the other...most recommended!
-Cheery, optimistic lead who are orphaned (Mikan....Tohru)
-Isolated, conflicted guy with a cat relation (Natsume....Kyo)
-Fighting to break a sort-of "curse"
I find Hyuuga Natsume very similar to Sohma Kyo. Abused, an outcast (in a way), and "different." Also, they're rude at first, but later on, they softened up and changed in various ways. Sakura Mikan is also quite similar to Honda Tohru. An airhead, and simple-minded. She's also the "key" or the "cure" to Natsume (in Fruits Basket, Tohru was Kyo's cure). Of course, I wouldn't leave Nogi Ruka behind. He's similar to Sohma Yuki because he's gentle and admirable. He and Natsume are opposites, like Yuki and Kyo are, although the relationship between Kyo and Yuki is nowhere near Ruka and Natsume's.

Similar leading characters, an innocent, sweet, but spunky girl, and a boy who is mean to her at first, but then starts to fall for her. Also both feature elementary aged kids, and darker underlying themes. Finally both are magical girl type stories (but Gakuen Alice is more of a school drama), and both have an emphasis on special (or magical) children.
Magic powers, upbeat protagonists, cute serious love-interests, Similar-thin lined art style, spunky mascots, what else can I say? =D
- romance
- magic
- similar feeling
- Syaoran/ Natsume almost same treated Sakura/Mikan: they didn't like these girls, but later fall in love with them
- Sakura and Mikan are similar too - not only in personality
- comedy (but GA later has more drama)
- etc.

najika resembles mikan a lot the same cheery mood all the time. also mikan finds it hard to fit in her class just like najika!! anyway they are both lovely manga's that leave a smile on your face.
Both the girls are extremely kind and change the people around them. They both go to a special school for kids with special skills and have acceptance issues at first
|

they're both the same in the way that......
..in gakuen alice, students possess diff. kinds of alices and they're not allowed to go outside the school with a strong barrier w/ it, as well as in Love monster students are gathered in a school who are monsters..
[how is this both similar? they're stuck up in one school because they're diffrent from ordinary humans and so why they're gathered up in a school]
Both are amazing series with mystery, comedy, romance, school life and great plot lines. Though neither series sounds too interesting from its descriptions, both are great! Read them, for sure!

Both titles tell about young girls (around 10) that get involved with magic affairs.
They include drama, comedy, romance and school life.
I also saw some similarities between Natsume and Ikuto (they even have the same "nickname", The Black Cat).
Both are great and worth reading..if you liked/loved one you'll surely enjoy the other.
Both have the same basic genres: comedy, romance, fantasy. There is also a love triangle between an energetic girl, a nice guy, and a cool guy. If you loved Shugo Chara, you'll love this one.

Both girls have pig tails and are clumsy, both end up going to school for special Kids, both meet a guy who leaves a bad impression
Entering a new school
Clutzy Heroine
Maho = Alice
Meets a mean boy on the first day
What more can I say? ^^
|
|
|
both revolve around children with special abilities, and the main characters stand out due to their (non-existent - IZ) powers and are targeted (in the beginning -GA) because of that
Both of these stories are about how kids who posses special abilities, and a main protagonist who is 'different'. Both are highly enjoyable~~

Similarly cute. the heroine of both mangas are very carefree and lovable. the art is similarly well drawn and the storyline is similar in that both mangas include superpowers and unapproachable and popular romantic male partner of the heroine.
Peter Pan Syndrome is lighter than GA, but both are very cute stories about magic, friendship and love. The main characters are very similar too. Both stories are really great!!!

-New school
-Lead is not accepted by students
-Similar characters (Chouchou...Hotaru; Ukyou....Natsume; Kureha....Mikan)

they both deal with elementary age characters in a way that is not demeaning. The characters are childish and silly but not stupid. The main girls Mikan(GA) and Miiko(MD) are both very spunky, energetic, and not shy. The main guy characters are not as similar, Natsume(GA) is a lot darker and meaner than Tappei(MD) but both of the guy characters have a teasing(although it is a little more bullying for Natsume) relationship with the girl. Also both have a slew of other characters that weave into the story. GA has a lot more of an epic dramatic and gripping plot, But MD has a lovely relaxed feel that makes it enjoyable as well.

Both stores focus on grade school children with special powers; trying to unravel the mysteries surrounding their parents.
It just my opinion but to me "Boku wo Tsutsumu wo Tsuki no Hikari" is superior in both storytelling and art.
P.S. It's best to read the prequel "Boku no chikyuu wo mamotte" before reading "Boku wo Tsutsumu wo Tsuki no Hikari".

i'm surprised no one has put Gakuen Alice yet as a reccomendation. Shinshi Doumei Cross and Gakuen Alice has quite a lot of Similarities. They are both set in an Academy setting. They also have ranks, in Gakuen Alice it would be Stars but in Shinshi doumei cross they have like Golds, Silver, and Coppers. They both first look like a normal shoujo, but later on have their own plot twist. I Guess if i should make similar characters Haine=Mikan
Shizumasa=Natsume
Ushio= Hotaru
well the characters are not that similar, but one thing is that the relationship between Hotaru with Mikan and Ushio with Haine is really similar.(only some differences that's quite disturbing to me)
Also the one big difference is Shinshi Doumei Cross doesnt have magic but Gakuen Alice does.. In Shinshi doumei cross its more about like royalty somehow
So if you like Gakuen Alice i think you might like Shinshi Doumei Cross.
Though i prefer Gakuen Alice...

- Magic
- Dense main character (girl)
- "cool" main male

About a girl transferring to a new school and finds out she has a power. But of course Mikan was more dumb than the main character in this story.
|
|
|
Both have strange love starts, but it both grows deeper into something really heart rendering.
|
|
|
They have a heroine who enrolls in a new school where everyone is different from themselves. They get a lot of new friends, and there is a lot of comedy involved. The romance is sweet in both mangas, with very sweet kiss scenes too~
|
|
|
Both main characters are female and when they go to a new school they find out schocking things about their school-mates.
|
|
|
A love triangle and the main character falls in love with a guy she labels mean at first.
|
|
|
There is mysticality in both of these series as well as love interests, constant battles, and school-life settings.

They are both mahou shoujo~ XD
They both center around magical powers and romance, and later, drama.
Also, the main protagonists are similar in personality. Both Mikan and Karin are outgoing, and happy with their friends. Well, until a boy comes around, everything changes. In Gakuen Alice, where it's Natsume, a boy with a mysterious past. While in Kamichama Karin, it's Kazune, who also is somewhat mysterious as you go further into the story.
They both have foreshadows about what has happened, and we later realize that they greatly impact the whole manga itself; the manga would never really have "existed" if these incidents never had happened.

Again, two schools of monsters, where a seemingly normal girl ends up going
|
|
|
In both, an innocent and cheerful protagonist is surrounded by supernatural and cared for by other, stronger magic-using-gloomy-heroes . . .
|
|
|
Here you have yet another supernatural/school/romance stuff story. Though Gakuen Alice offers a much longer read.
|
|
|
Both have the main girl able to stop the powers of the main guy who controls fire. Both are a little dark though code breaker is darker. Both main girls live with some people that aren't their real parents, and the main girl has two guys beside her(one with blonde hair, one with black). Both main guys appear to be evil in the beginning.
|
|
|
it is similar because they r both by the same person so the characters look the same
|
|
|
Both have an Love Triangle~ <3
|
|
|
Both mangas have magic powers: characters in Aphorism and alices in Gakuen Alice.
Also, both are about teamwork,and magic. There is also an element of mystery which makes them similar.
|
|
|
They both take place in a school for special kids, and both mangas are cute <3
|
|
|
While reading, I always thought about Natsume when Teru apeared. also- that love triangle is so similar to the love triangle in Gakuen Alice.
But I liked Mikan more than Sumino. She is much stronger and much more funny.
The comedy in both of them is similar and really amusing.

Both manga invovle magic on it as well as romance fantasy and comedy, both story line are interesting (in their own ways) that will make you want to read on.
