At first glance these two series might not look like they have much in common but the general atmosphere is very much the same, a feel-good slice of life with some comedy and drama along the way. It doesn't hurt that they feature similar (not to mention great) background music.

Both series are well written works which immerse you in their respective universes. Likewise, both make you care about the characters. I found myself cheering the cast of Aria on more than once, a feeling very few series are capable of producing.
I cannot recommend Aria enough if you've just seen Hanasaku Iroha. It is really the perfect follow up series. (It's not to bad by itself either ^.^)
