Kimi ni Todoke is very much similar to Koko ni Iru yo. Both have main characters that are either lonely and has no friends, or looks 'scary' and scares people away - and other main characters who fall in love with them. Although I think Kimi ni Todoke is much more advanced, both mangas are enjoyable if you want something to take your mind off things. Kimi ni Todoke is also an anime.

Although the main girl in Koko ni Iru Yo hadn't decided who she loved (or that's how it seems), in Kimi ni Todoke, the main girl loves only one person and you can definitely see it. read more

I consider these two manga series to be classic shoujos for their style of storytelling. The main male protagonist is a outgoing guy and popular with his classmates. On the other hand, there's the shy girl that no one really notices, or otherwise people tend to avoid. Then, fate ties them together one day and they become friends. As both series progresses, a relationship develops that blooms into other direction that the main girl never thought would before. There is credible amount of comedy, drama, and romance in both series. If you're into shoujo, I would recommend these two series as examples of the medium.

They both have a similar feel.
Both these stories feature an unpopular girl as the main character, and the story of how they change through the most popular guys in school, and how they make friends and fall in love.

The only difference is that the girl in Kimi Ni Todoke wants to be liked, whereas as the girl in Sukitte Ii na yo would rather not get involved with others (at first that is). 
Though Kimi ni Todoke is more light-hearted than Sukitte Ii na yo.
If you read one, I'm sure you'll enjoy the other.

The manga have different airs about them when it comes to maturity level but both focus on the long term relationships of the main couple and have somewhat similar drama (ie love rivals). I'd say the biggest reason I recommend this is because both manga also take a good chunk of its time to build up the 'support' characters and their romantic lives making it a multi layered story.

Looking for a lighthearted romance story? Kimi ni Todoke and Koukou Debut will offer the experience with its colorful cast of characters in a school life setting. There is relationship development between the main characters.

There is also decent comedy that doesn't exaggerate itself with realistic dialogues involving school life.

In both series, the romance is innocent and pure without any love triangles or dramatic complications. The characters love each other and that's all, they don't change their opinion mid way. Both main characters are quite ignorant about love, although because of different reasons, and this keeps their relationship innocent and lovely.
In both series, you know there won't be unpleasant surprises for the couple. You can read relaxed, knowing whatever happens to them, they will always be together.

Amanchu! addpermalink

It is easy to identify what isn't similar about these series considering Amanchu! does not have a romantic plot but I've generally felt the same impact from both manga.

They are both coming of age stories and the main characters (Sawako and Dotty) all pass through a necessary growth to better themselves and have more self confidence as well as not rely on a close one (Kazehaya and Pikari). What is different is one may be focusing more on the friendship plot than the romance oriented one.

Both are quite adorable though and do give a unique feeling of warmth. The impeccable art that goes with it, especially Amano's lovely touch at backgrounds, which makes it all more delightful. 

So the choice is quite a nice one between similar yet different aspects of life i.e. whether you want to see a relationship between different sorts of couples blossoming or a simple fun and crazy bonding between high school girls and seniors in a scuba diving club just plainly allowing themselves to drift along youth. I assure you both are touching in their own way and make you think about the future in a somewhat less scary but still quite terrifying way, but at least you know you're not the only one in doing just that. read more

Bokura ga Ita addpermalink

These are both character-driven stories and are kind of melodramatic. The source of drama is totally different hence these two manga are also completely different, but they are both really good and really amazing. Both have really strong heroines and really cool male protagonists. Kazehaya (Kimi ni Todoke) and Yano (Bokura ga Ita) are both popular among girls but their approach was totally different. While Kazehaza always holds himself back in order to wait for his girl, Yano kind of forces his ways onto his girl. The guys are also very mature, kind of, in a way, which makes the two stories a whole lot more interesting.

The heroines, in spite of being strong character themselves, can also be annoying at times, but still they add a bit of spice to the story. In Kimi ni Todoke, it was more of Kuronuma understanding herself while it was more of Takahashi understanding Yano on the other. 

Girl friendships is the secondary point of Kimi ni Todoke although there are also times when Ryuu and Kazehaza have their guy moments. But it was more like the usual I-can-tell-what-you're-thinking-even-though-you-don't-tell-me-anything boy friendship. I though it was so Japanese! On the other hand, Yano's friendship with Takeuchi is more open, and kind of borders to rivalry as well. Sometimes, it's also good to hear what guys usually talk about so this style is also  refreshing. Takahashi's side on the other hand, doesn't really show much girl friendship.

In terms of art, silence is used really well too. Although I like Bokura ga Ita better if we talk about that. Overall art however goes to Kimi ni Todoke. Overall story? These two are romance stories that are really worth it. In this matter, there is nothing more to say, but just go read it.  read more

Nostalgia addpermalink

The 2nd story of the Nostalgia volume is about a gloomy but pretty girl nicknamed Sadako and avoided by her classmates, except for a guy, which is basically the same plot of Kimi Ni Todoke.

Koisuru Mitsuba addpermalink

Cool, popular guy who likes a shy, secluded girl. The girl is hard working and trying hard to make friends. Koisuru Mitsuba is faster paced than Kimi ni Todoke.

Tonari no Atashi addpermalink

- Nina's innocence is somewhat similar to Sawako.
- Sawako's inability to touch her boyfriend normally reminds me of how Kyousuke tests Nina when she asked him to look at her in a romantic view.
- Both give off a cute feeling.
- Shoujo manga

GE: Good Ending addpermalink

IN both Reaching you and Ge Good Ending the main protagonists are somewhat outcast individuals who receive help from a school's popular icon who they eventually develop feelings for. In Reaching you Sawako (the unsociable and spooky shut out) and Kazehaya (the school's most popular guy)  develop feelings for each other as Kazehaya helps Sawako interact with her classmates. While in Ge Good Ending Utsumi (the cowardly socially awkward shut out) deveops feelings for  Kurokawa (beautiful woman out of his league) as she helps him win over his unrequitted love. Both have interesting plot twists, but if I was asked which is my favourite I would reply that GE Good Ending is my favourite. read more

Sora☆Miyo addpermalink

Both main female characters and male characters of both series are quite alike. And both series features the girl changing into a more cheerful person with the help of other people (for both series it's 3 i remember).

Soramiyo contains astronomy elements though, since it involves an astronomy club.

Manga: Yugami-kun ni wa Tomodachi ga Inai

Yugami-kun ni wa Tomodachi ga Inai addpermalink

In both series a boy and a girl end up sitting next to each other and get to know each other better. The guy helps out the girl and vice versa. Both series also deal with the "people are being misunderstood" part, but in a different way. The way main characters communicate is totally different as well in either series so that's the refreshing part if you ever happen to read them both.

Kimi ga Waratta addpermalink

Both are very similar: a quiet lonely girl ignored by her classmates that is seen as scary but in fact she is very kind hearted, and loves pets and plants. The most popular guy in her class ends up noticing her and helping her, while at first she truly admires him for his kindness, later she develops feelings for him.

Bakuman. addpermalink

Both manga involves an innocent love story that you don't want to miss. Both story have a very shy protagonist. In Kimi ni Todoke, Sawako (better known to the school as Sadako, because she looks just like her) is easly misunderstood, but she is a kindhearted person that helps in class duties and now she face her life in experiencing her first love. In Bakuman, Mashiro is a talented artist that team up with Takagi to become a mangaka. He confessed to his long time crush Miho that is aiming to be a voice actor, she accepts however, she will only marry him after they achieve their dreams. In addition, they cannot see each other until then. read more

Joou-sama no Inu addpermalink

Some similarities include the main character being ostracized by her class at the beginning but slowly making friends and great relationships. No monsters in kimi ni todoke but both romantic plot lines with the main characters dealing with doubts and trying to figure out who they are.

Yotsuba to! addpermalink

There aren't many other series that can take a perfectly safe, idealized world and make it feel so realistic and well-done. Kimi Ni Todoke may be the more dramatic of the two, but the feeling you get from it is the same as Yotsuba&.

Arakure addpermalink

Story wise the two doesn't have any similarity but why I'm recommending this is because they both have a great plot. They both have a nice touching, sweet intricate story told in somewhat slow pace but elegant atmosphere. Take note this two series are over the top heartfelt and gives you a satisfying experience!

Both have a refreshing female lead who is not ditzy, but totally oblivious to her good points and the male character's feelings.

In both stories, at first, the main character is disliked, Sawako because of her scary appearance and Tanpopo because she's from the countryside. However these optimistic girls don't give up in making friends and finding love.

Komi-san wa, Comyushou desu. addpermalink

These are both slice of school life romances with comedy thrown in, with themes of discovering friendship and feelings of love. Kimi ni Todoke is more old school shojo while Komi Can't Communicate is definitely newer, but they both have very adorable girl characters who are amazed by so many things the male love interest shares with them. The main male character in both is very perceptive of the female's emotions and supportive.

Suki desu Suzuki-kun!! addpermalink

Unlike Kimi ni Todoke, "Suki desu Suzuki-kun!!" has two main couples, but one of the main couples in S.D.S. (Sayaka x Hikaru), remind me of Sawako and Kazehaya. Both Sawako and Sayaka are really shy, just like how both Kazehaya and Hikaru are really outgoing.

Aishiteru Game wo Owarasetai addpermalink

While both does not share any plot similarities but if you enjoy high school romance with likeable characters, slow romance and a lot of cuteness and fluff then check out Aishiteru Game wo Owarasetai. 

It's classic in the making ~
