Both friendships remind you of each other. And the problems they go through.
Both manga show the different sides of friendship and how there are people who may seem close or loyal to you, but have a much darker side. It also emphasized how true friendship exists, but is hard to find, and how it can sometimes save people.

There are a lot of similarities too; He Dedicated to roses and LIFE, the theme first of all. (Rich girl that gives no cares to someone elses life tricks a girl into doing whatever they want, then Girl finds a way to become stronger) and then the chararcters in both manga's seem a lot alike.
For example:
(LIFE) Manami is a lot like- (He Dedicated to roses) Mini
(LIFE) Ayumu is a lot like- (He Dedicated to roses)Ida
and so on....
A lot of similarities
1: Rich girl act cute and innocent but in fact is evil
2: Under different situation/reason, rich girl bully our main girl lead and make her life crap
3: Rich girl asked a guy to rape main girl but failed and went to jail(or is it juvenile hall?)
4: Rich girl speaks in third person, Mana in LIFE, Mimi in He Dedicated to roses.
5: Main girl became stronger (in heart) and fight of the rich girl

Both stories have a lot of similarities of deep bullying and karma in the end.

Its not as drama filled as LIFE, but all the characters remind you of each other.
Ayumu-Ageha, remind you of each other.
Manami-Hana,*
Hatori-Hayato, *
Manami's friends-Ryuusei, *
So, to sum it up all the chararcters and there roles seem to be alike.

Both about bullying in high school however Pika Ichi involves comedy and some romance. Strong characters. Great art work
|
|
|
Both stories bully over romance.
|
|
|
Both stories seem to be the same and have the same kind of feel to it, its starts out with a girl pissed off and wanting to pretty much bully the weaker person and then the whole class startes to join in and falsely blames the main character.

LIFE is way more intense but, My lovable fatty is alot alike. Startes out with Bullying until the main character finds a way to fight back.
|
|
|
The only real simialrity to Kimi ga Uso Wo Tsuita and LIFE is the subject in lying, and the drama that follows it.
|
|
|
Same feel, Both stories Bullying to the extreme over some kind of misunderstanding in romantic gesture(s)
(but LIFE's a lot more dark.)
|
|
|
Both about Bullying and how it changes the main character into a stronger person.
|
|
|
Pretty much the same story, Girl tries to help a friend, friend back stabs them over a guy, and then turns around and tells the whole school a lying story making them out to be the bad guy and then bullies them until they see fit.

Plenty of drama, an interesting cast of characters, and a great art style.
The relationship between Ayumu and Miki reminds a lot of Hachi and Nana, and their encounters are both full of emotion: a kind-hearted but troubled girl (Hachi, depressed due to her numerous but unlucky love interests, & Ayumu, hopeless because of her being bullied) suddenly meets a cool, indipendent, strong and beautiful girl, and the two, who are the opposite of each other, become friends in a new school/city.
Even if in different ways, both are mature series which are about lasting out in life.

Same author.
Drama, school, psychological, josei.
Both are great mature stories, and the girls protagonists, whose life is a mess, get into difficult situations, but try to fight and to finally reach happiness.
Both manga show how classmates, especially girls, can be mean.
If you enjoyed one you totally must read the other too.

Basically, both manga narrate of school life, and are great at doing so.
Even though Karekano is more romantic, while Life focuses on friendship, both series have lots of character development. Life is a strong, shocking psychological drama and has very few light-hearted moments, but Karekano also gets pretty dramatic and serious at times. Plus, the subject of bullism is touched in both series (constantly in Life, only for a short time in Karekano).
Both manga have impressive art styles and are totally worth reading. If you're sick of dull, overused, happy-go-lucky shoujo manga, try these two.
|
|
|
Both are shoujo manga which have psychotic characters and group mentality that leads to some really bad occurrences.
|
|
|
Both are about the problems life (especially school) can bring.
X-Day shows the problems of four different persons, while Life focuses on one girl with a lot of problems.
|
|
|
Same mangaka, Keiko Suenobu, and a lot of similarities.
Both are mature and dramatic series, and involve schoolgirls with either school or love problems and their efforts to solve them.
Happy Tomorrow is made of only 4 chapters, while Life is still on-going, anyway both are worth reading.

- Same dramatic and serious ambiance : Life deal about auto-mutilation and suicid though, then Virgin bitter talk about rapes, and sexual abuses (pedophelia)
- Ijime, bullying, both protagonists must bearing it.
- Romance : Life is softest than Virgin bitter.

Both are about bullying, though LIFE also touches the topic of self-harm.
|
|
|
Both manga have the same realistic feel, and sense of despair. A lot of drama and heartache, and a seemingly endless cycle of one tragedy after another.
|
|
|
Both deal with hardships and they both spoke to me but Life is a a lot more dramatic but if your up for a long read Life is good and they are both worth reading
|
|
|
Life is a bit more extreme than Koizora, but there's a lot of drama and boy trouble. Both are very good reads.
|
|
|
Both of these books is about school girls who feels very bad. While Confidential Confessions is about many girls with different problems (rape, stalkers, bullies, drugs, suicide thoughts...) Life is about one girl who have a lot of problems! The reality in both seems very harsh and dark, but also contains episodes of happiness, courage and friendship. It also shows how people can still carry on in very hard times.
