don't know why, but Mekakushi reminds me of Fruits Basket (to a certain extent), perhaps because of the three main characters' personalities are so similar, and both stories have a similar love triangle thing going on, and in both problems with touching people separate the main characters from the rest of their classmates.

Both series circles around this pure and serious highschool love that you really wished you had. The maincharacters have all some sort of mental problem that only the one they love can solve and we follow that process. It's cute and really touching.

both talks about having powers and how to deal with it .. it's just that land of the blindfolded is a drama romance and Anti-Gravity boy a comedy romance .. 
reportRecommended by LoveSong
Both the main character are always wanting to protect the others without thinking about the consequences. Other than that, Mekakushi no Kuni is more light hearted compared to Arakure.

I found Mirai Nikki and land of the blindfolded to be quite similar in the fact that both deal with people being able to see the future and what kind of troubles this get's them into. But while Mirai Nikki is a shonen manga Land of the Blindfolded is romance so if your looking for a really romantic manga this isn't for you. But if your just looking for a great manga that deals with people seeing the future and that has just a tiny bit of romance try out Mirai Nikki.

Kazahaya and Arou both have similar gifts. When they touch a person or an object, they see visions of past events. If you enjoyed Legal Drug, then you most likely will enjoy reading Land of the Blindfolded, which entirely revolves around seeing visions of the past and future.

The setting may not be the same, cause Shinobi Life involves a lot of ninjas, wars and revenge. But both manga involves about knowing the past and future. In Mekakushi no kuni, the three protagonists have the powers to see the past and future whereas Shinobi life involves a magical hole that takes the protagonists back and forth to the future. Both the romance, drama and the artwork for these mangas are amazing and so well-thought. and I think the relationship and the situation that the (three) lead characters share in these mangas are very similar.

Both are supernatural mangas. In Cinema Empire is just a girl who can see the future, while in Mekakushi no Kuni is a girl and a boy who can see the future, and a boy who can see the past. In both mangas they try to help other people with their powers.

the same mangaka and similar kind and loving story.

Our main girls struggling with supernatural powers or special abilities working with only one touch. Mekakushi no Kuni deals with romance, while Angel Trumpet keeps up and alive the relationship of two sisters and their serious promise to their mother.

These series are similar to each other for being a supernatural shoujo manga. Both of the stories lack evil. As if it never existed.

Same mangaka. Similar style of storytelling, likeable characters, bishounen guys. 
reportRecommended by torakk
Both mangas are about people with special supernatural abilities that they need to be very careful about controlling so that they do not hurt anyone. As such, they both deal with poignant ethical questions and focus on the need for close positive relationships. Both mangas will also make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

These two have a similar pace and mysterious atmosphere. in both, the characters find strength through attachments and relationships, sharing a dark secret . . . 
reportRecommended by as3
Both manga are similar in a way that the characters confront/face their past. Also both has romance, but Alice 19th ending is better than that of Mekakushi no Kuni

Both stories are about a teenager that sees things (s)he isn't supposed to see. Both of them are haunted by childhood memories of being bullied and alienated for being either weird or creepy when they just told what they saw. In both stories kindness prevails.

Hands Off! is a somewhat darker manga than Land of the Blindfolded. Nevertheless is the main character Oohira Kotarou almost as naive and trusting as Ootsuka Kanade. Naito Arou and Oohira Tatsuki have the same gift: They see the past. And both of them are troubled with many unhappy pasts they see.

Both are about a girl with supernatural powers. These girls both try to help people in their own way.
