Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso

- The friendship layout is strikingly similar. (Boy in glasses falls for a pretty girl he just met and his best friend for several years secretly likes him.)
- They actually have a lot of differences (Shigatsu deals with music while AnoNatsu deals with film making).
- But in both series you get to see the concept of being "friendzoned" several times.
- The female romantic interest (Kaori in Shigatsu and Ichika in AnoNatsu) also leaves the main character alone, in her own way.
