The heroines of these manga want to get a boyfriend, but that's not so easy for them. Risa is a bit too tall while Haruna has a bad fashion sense and a masuline build due to playing baseball in middle school. Along the way they end up going out with the guy who supported them and helped them from the beginning.

Both have a girl who's a little stupid when it comes to guys and such, and a guy who all the girls want but he never dates. (Trust issues). Overall both are really great and funny stories about love.
well, kimi ni todoke and koukou debut was somewhat similar to each other. the art is somekinda similar too. the love story is light and refreshing to read.^^
I think they are alot alike because they both have very strong female leads and the guys are always on thw quiet cool side but they are nice and really care alot. Also they both are placed in High School and the everyday life of how there relisonship devlops!

*There arent any fighting scences in Koukou Debut though!
The main characters in these two mangas are fairly similar. Both girls are energetic and not really used to the "pretty" role. Personality wise: they are a little bit strange, highly reactive emotionally, and somewhat awkward in social situations. The main male character is a cool guy who acts as a teacher to the main character. Overall, these are both very funny mangas with interesting situations happening all of the time.
Both have as protagonists a tomboy girl with a very energetic and optimistic personality, and willpower. She ends up being helped and protected by a serious good looking boy, and starts to get along with him everyday. The boy, who in the beginning only had the goal of helping her, actually starts smiling around her, and slowly changing, opening his heart, while the feelings between the two start to grow. A lot of comedy and sweet moments:)
Very similar type of plot.
Both have very cute sojo stories with romance, humor and some awkwardness from the characters, which makes it just so cute

Both girls want to change themselves and are helped out by popular boys. In both series, there is some sort of romantic attraction between the female protagonists and the guys helping them through the changes.

Another high school romance. Both are pretty entertaining.
Both heroines are quite similar to each other and the story line to both mangas are cheesy and cute! :)
The main characters are pretty similar.
They both are about two clumsy girls that likes this really popular guy and they confess to him. Eventually they start going out and they face problems.
KouKou Debut and Saruyama both have the nice cozy feeling that makes you happy. Also they are both about school life and everyday storeis about the couples and their friends.
Both are funny, light-hearted romances. However, Koukou Debut focuses more on a couple & their relationship, while Strobe Edge is a story of 2 people and their road to becoming a couple.
In koukou Debut an idoitic girl falls in love with a smart boy, what more can I say?
Both series have the intention to become more beautiful. Also, they both have "uncute" heroines that help other people with their problems.

High School Debut and Honey and Clover are both romance stories that have very strong humor.
The character's personalities are very similar! Both of the guys are the popular guys of the school but don't really want to deal with the whole "problem" of dating someone, each because of different reasons. Because of that, both of have a hard time expressing their feelings until... the girl appears. The girls are both really caring towards the guys which causes them to open up and be more kind towards others. Overall, they're both light hearted manga about love with a bunch of comedy on the side! You'll enjoy both of them!!!!
Mars and Koukou Debut are very different, but the romance is similar so if you enjoyed Mars you'll enjoy Koukou Debut and vice versa. Both mangas have your basic shoujo cliches like, love triangles, girl from the guy's past, girl getting bullied, etc. Mars is really deep/dark and more mature while Koukou Debut is more fluffy and sweet, so I guess Koukou Debut can help you recover after reading about all the evil psychopaths and dramas in Mars. Mars is still my all time favourite and I had a hard time enjoying a new manga after reading it but Koukou Debut is something Mars fans will enjoy, probably.

The interaction of love is similar. Koukou Debut is like Datte Suki Nan Damon except continued :) It's a great manga to read! 8D
Both girls ask an amazingly kind and hot guy to teach them how to be better at finding guys. =)
The lead male character in My Hero reminds me of Haruna, in the sense that they're both very sweet and innocent, both are very funny as well.

similar story with stronger female leads
It is about a girl who kind of fits in with the school host club. Shes around theses guys but there is a romance between the leader and the girl. But its not very big because she's dense and he's a little childish.
both have a promise in them, both Haruna & Tamako are strong and welling to do whatever it takes to the one they love .. ♥
Both have romance, and main charecter is set on achieving a goal. In KouKou debut its about getting a boyfriend in Good Father its about becoming a good DJ for his girlfriends fathers approval.
Both mangas are about a girl that is looking for something in their love life. In Haruna's case (Koukou Debut) she is looking for some flirtations and someone to love her, which is similar to what our protagonist in Random Walk is also looking for, someone that she can really be in love with. Both are very cute stories, and if you liked either one of them, I think you'd enjoy the other one too!
Tomboys who try with the most handome guy what it means to love somebody. Later on the girls are trying their best to look more feminine.
A very energetic simple-minded heroine, with a good looking, popular (but dislikes it), down to earth guy. Very romantic, though Shuukatsu has a slightly more serious tone to it, but that might be because the characters are older than in Koukou debut.
A high school romance that'll leave you wanting for more.
Both stories have a female lead who are clueless when it comes to love or choosing the right person. Furthermore, both of them are tough, strong and boyish, although kind. I also like both of them because the art of both the manga are very similar.
it's similar in many ways..for example Hina from FIVE is the typical unwanted girl who always hang out with the most popular boy in school, like Haruna from Koukou Debut.Both of them are bullied by the other girls from school..both were loved by the "popular boy"'friend or friends...the "popular boy" in both mangas is selfish and acts cool..there are much more similarities but i let you to discover them...
Both manga are similar in a way that the girl quits sports so that she'd be more femine( in effect, less muscular body etc...). Well Koukou Debut has more depth and sweet romance compared to Oresama Ouji, but both of them did have that thing in common

Both girls try to find there "partner" and been rejected so many times even through they look pretty cute/decent. But how they approach them is whats rejects them, they soon find a guy they fall in love with....
Both of the stories take place in a school, and contain a big group of friends where each person has his/her own personality. So there is similarities, but the story-lines are different. The art is somewhat like, but Ouran Host Club has rougher drawings than Koukou Debut
"Ai no Tame ni" is a collection of three short stories by the same mangaka as "Koukou debut". Both mangas have very cute and romantic stories, with interesting and lovable characters and leave you with a nice feeling after you've read them.
Tetsu and Shizuka remind me of Yoh and Haruna.
Both manga series are about a group of high school students. In addition, in both the main female character falls in love with a very popular guy (though the circumstances are different). They gave me the same heart-warming feeling (:

They're both shoujo comedies and there is a same feeling while reading them. :)

both are similar base on plot. both have great heroins
not your regular shoujo type of manga lots of twist in them
highly recommended for people who likes shoujo stories
=]
both the series are similar in the relationship development aspect because they show how couples go through the ups and downs of their relationship also, they both revolve around some very realistic situations (i.e. dating, fashion etc.) that can be compared to the life of an average teenager (both having the slice of life genre) they both have good romance storylines and are must-reads

Same author. Both have lots of funny moments and interesting characters.

I think if you liked this you would also like Koukou Debut because the personalities of the characters are very strong and there are a lot of parts in this manga that will make you laugh. It's full of sillyness but will definitely make you feel better if you're down. Although, there is much less drama compared to Ren Ai.
Both feature heroines who are shojo manga fans. Also, one party in the relationship gives makeover/dating advice.
In both mangas, the main female is a tough girl, and they aren't very good with relationship problems. Another similarity is that in both mangas, the main male character is one of the best looking guys in school, and they both have girls over all them, though I think I like the male lead in kaichou wa maid-sama a bit more.
Both are similar in a way that the MCs fell in love with the one who helped them. but Papillon has much more drama whereas Koukou Debut is more on the comedic side.

Yet another high school romance. The main girls in both are tomboys.
Have some romance parts. Fun to read. 8D
both are romances with a clumsy girl who falls in love with a cool and attractive guy. the way both relationships progress are similar they also have similar art styles.

well, the heroine is kinda similar...they both work hard and try their best...and their leading man is also someone pretty popular in the school...XD
sweet love story .. a couple their love is stronger than anything else
Although HSD doesn't have MeruPuri's all-over fantasy element, both series are about a girl who has her heart set on falling in love but ends up falling for the least likely candidate. (Hijinks, cuteness, and occasional mild drama ensues.)
Life -- and high school first love -- after baseball. Both series have protagonists with a sporty background they've had to ditch for their current lifestyle, and have a similar slightly awkward but wonderfully earnest approach to the romantic aspect.
They give you the same feeling. A quiet, serious good looking and kind hearted guy that dates a energetic optimistic girl. Both are full of comedy and very sweet moments.
Both have a girl and a guy that don't really get along, but their relationship progresses over time.

Both mangas are about high school couples. Thought Bokura ga Ita is more tragic it's similar to Koukou Debut. Both girls are said to be plain and end up with the or one of the most attractive guy in the school. Also the ending is similar because they end after the graduate from highschool.
