Made in Heaven

Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan

First off: both are very, very sad stories. They contain a man who has (in a way) given up on living since, because of circumstances, it does not allow him to live it fully. All of a sudden, a young woman named "Juri" (yes, in both of the stories) comes into their lives unexpectedly, and the young man can find no other thought than: "I want to live". The young women with troubled pasts then learn from the men, and then begin at a second chance at life...

If you liked
Bronze: Zetsuai since 1989
...then you might like
Zankoku na Kami ga Shihai Suru

Hagio Moto's A Cruel God Reigns (aka. Zankoku Na Kami Ga Shihai Suru) was most likely influenced by what was called yaoi's "most major work" --Bronze: Zetsuai. Both of them are from late 80s/early 90s, and they contain semi-insane characters, a controversial plot, explicit sexual abuse, and are angsty, violent, bloody, and horrifying. The dark and grim stories are -extremely- difficult to read and enjoy. There are some clear differences however: Zetsuai has some "nice"r moments, along with lots of melodrama, whereas A Cruel God Reigns has none, and is a lot more refined as a whole.

Hoozuki no Reitetsu

Both have an extremely unique way of story-telling. Not only that, but they are super modern, and have their own sense of humor.

If you liked
Hydra
...then you might like
Let Dai

Boys love, miscommunications, delinquent acts, and over the top slice-of-life drama. Not only that, but the main guy refuses to acknowledge and love himself. They're also about how insecurities, distance, and problems grow over time (just like the Hydra, a monster that would double itself when killed). Both have an almost equal cast of female/male characters, and one event concerning a certain girl in both series kinda starts the downfall of everything.

If you liked
DOLL: IC in a Doll
...then you might like
Dolls

Both kind of play with the idea of buying "living dolls". The stories also give off similar vibes.

If you liked
Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE
...then you might like
Hatenkou Yuugi

A little spoilerish to say why, but Hatenkou Yuugi goes about all of it's mind blowing psychedelics in a slice-of-life kind of way, while Tsubasa gets pretty intense... Lots of things in one manga occurs in the other one (you just have to get a good chunk into each of them to get to the good stuff!)

If you liked
GALS!
...then you might like
Kechonpa

They both feature a really eccentric gyaru who, not only does she solve the occasional mystery, but they also have close ties to the police force. Kechonpa is more mature, and heavy-handled (especially with it's dialogue), while GALS! is a light shoujo.

If you liked
Kagen no Tsuki
...then you might like
Two Will Come

Supernatural mystery involving a load of characters presented in a slice-of-life way. For both, it's sorta like a "who did it" kind of mystery.

If you liked
Kiss and Never Cry
...then you might like
Ice Forest

Female figure skaters emotionally reunite with the sport of skating along with some drama and romance. Both are josei.

If you liked
Kimi wa Pet
...then you might like
Udon no Hito

University-aged boy falls for a woman nearing her 30's. Josei, and is in the female's POV. Both are somewhat slice-of-life, however Udon No Hito is more ambiguous and fast.

If you liked
Dance! Subaru
...then you might like
Chihayafuru

Both leads are weird in their own way (they definitely are not normal heroines). These mangas follow the girl on her journey to become the best at her under-rated sport. The character development of the lead is great, along with her allies and enemies. There is romance, however, in Chihayafuru, whereas in Dance! Subaru, there is not any.

If you liked
ES
...then you might like
Fushigi na Shounen

Well both are pretty psychological, exploring human nature as well as having a super-human boy as a lead. The art is very similar as well. However, the way both mangas are presented (Wonder Boy as a one-shot anthology, ES as a series) is different.

If you liked
Immortal Rain
...then you might like
Rikon Choutei

Well Rikon Choutei is a shounen, and Immortal Rain is a shoujo (so obvious differences aside), but they both have the same vibe. Not only do they create a fantastic world where things such as currency is different, but they both focus on a young, independent girl trying to make her way in life, and a superhuman, immortal, down-to-earth man.

If you liked
Tomie
...then you might like
Orochi

While Tomie features a supernatural, immortal-like girl who gets involved and causes misery to everyone, Orochi features a supernatural, immortal-like girl who accidently gets involved and tries to help people out of their situation using her powers. The art is almost identical, and the way the mangaka shows every story in an episodic nature is similar.

If you liked
Petshop of Horrors
...then you might like
I Wish...

Both have a shop which deals with "interesting" merchandise. The owners of the shops are extremely mysterious, somewhat cold. They affect their customers in some sort of way. However, Petshop Of Horrors is, obviously, Josei/Horror, I Wish... is a Fantasy/Shoujo.

If you liked
Kioku Senmei
...then you might like
Normal City

Along with an ESP-organization, the manga also heavily deals with cloning. Both of them face the problems of a world which is comfortable with the idea of cloning. They also touch on the idea that a clone is seperate than the original.

If you liked
Goong
...then you might like
Full House

In both manhwas, there is little romance more than the actual, frustrating drama. All of the characters cannot be honest with themselves, it often leads to miscommunication. However, the few moments of romance along with the comedy scenes is well worth the mess. Also, Ellie/Chae-Gyung are extremely stubborn, and Ryder/Shin are quite famous, and often in the beginning feel like they're too good for their female counterparts.

If you liked
Boku no Chikyuu wo Mamotte
...then you might like
They Were 11

Both have people who need to go to a space-station for work and testing. I don't want to spoil anything, but what happens in one does happen in the other. Almost uncannily identical. They Were 11 has the same premise as the moon base story of Please Save My Earth.

If you liked
Normal City
...then you might like
Seol Hui

Not only are both created the same person (so same art), but it deals with a strong female protagonist, the search for oneself, soulmates in dreams, and some very important message. In both series, the story is highly --I cannot stress this enough-- highly original. Also, the supporting characters are very important in both as well.
