Both are slowly paced slice of life series.
Due to its brighter atmosphere and the moé appeal of the characters, ARIA is a good choice for helping people get used to the genre before introducing them to YKK with its more mature and melancholy insights.
Both are the most superb slice-of-life that i have ever read.
each manga has its own unique atmosphere and tells you wonderful storys that when they end you fell all fuzzy and warm inside.
In truth, if one was to really think about it, ARIA and YKK are not actually similar from how it is presented or the feeling you get from it. However, the story's theme(?) is quite same - a slow, peaceful glimpse of a group of people who seem to find happiness from many small things. I think that alone is enough to try the other and experience both.
Storyline wise, they aren't at all similar, but YKK gives a similar vibe as that of Aria, both occuring in a futuristic world, yet giving a laidback, fantasy feel to it. Though Aria is much much better IMO, YKK is worth a second look.

Another light-hearted slice of life title. Stress-free yet not saccharine, it's perfect for the jaded manga reader or anybody who wishes to see the world in a new light.
Both calming and peaceful manga that i really enjoyed. Though the setting may be different they still manage to have the same feeling of calm and ejoyment of life.
Both top quality Slice of Life!
Both are about green haired girls that go through the adventures of day to day life.
Yotsubato is more light hearted then YKK but both are excellent and are worth giving a try!
How does a view of the world of a 5-year old match the world of Alpha and Kokone?
Discovery.
You couldn't expect the discovery of the world by a 5-year old to be as peaceful and calm as YKK, but there are moments (like the astronomy) where things just work out right.
There's more humor in Yotsuba, the artwork is of a very good quality, and the characters around her are well crafted. Well worth checking it out.
If you don't read Japanese, then the French translations by Kurowawa.fr are released much quicker than the English translations, and can be bought from online french booksellers.

Two slice of life titles with similarities in their premises. Both stories show human civilization as we know it coming to an end and through the course of the series, the characters learn to treasure apparently mundane experiences and to value life for its evanescence.
While Ai-Ren is much more didactic with it's somewhat verbose narration and extreme situations, Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou makes use of more subtle imagery and dialogue to deliver it's message.
Both manga are set in a seemingly post-apocalyptic world, and both revolve around somewhat normal people in a slice-of-life setting. Ai-Ren is substantially darker than Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou at some parts, but for the most part maintains the carefree attitude. However, because of the deeper sections of Ai-Ren, some YKK fans may not enjoy it, but they're similar nonetheless.

Both are excellent examples of slice-of-life done well. Gentle storytelling, combined with minimal dialogue (allowing the pictures to tell the story), pictures that do indeed paint a 1000 words and an overwhelming sense of peace and harmony, make these a delight to read. The Walking Man has the advantage that it does not have the same gentle melancholy that YKK has, making it a more uplifting read that reminds us all the we need to stop and smell the flowers more often.

These two manga are pretty different in that one is about the salvation of humanity after a near apocalypse (Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou) and the other (Hotel) is all about the impending apocalypse. They are also different in that one has a violent take on nature reclaiming the earth and the other is about nature's quiet encroachment. Another difference is that Hotel is a one-shot while Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou ran for fourteen volumes. However, they're similar in that they are both about the ending of the world as we know it, are both profound and beautiful manga, and they both are told from the perspectives of non-humans.

Both are slice-of-life, and both involve cafes (kind of). Shirley has a similar feeling to YKK in manys ways, and although YKK [i]is[/i] the better of the two, Shirley is still worth reading.

Local legends and supernatural phenomena; just another day in the lives of the characters of Mushishi and YKK.
