They both have a similar relaxing light feel to them. Both of the main characters are working towards their dreams, both inspired by another male character. All the characters are pretty well done in both anime and all are pretty likeable.

Now you may be thinking what similarities do a card game anime and an anime about making manga have in common?
The answer is pretty simple, in both anime the MCs are aiming to achieve a goal that someone important gave them. However they do not solely experience success, but failures are involved as well.
The general mood in Bakuman and Chihayafuru is pretty relatable while having moments of suspense.
Furthermore the main theme in both anime is the 'From Zero to Hero' process. Starting from scratch, only by working hard you can achieve your dreams.
Similarities in character development.
Healthy rivalry between friends.
Some romance but main focus on the concept (karuto/mangaka).
Idea of wanting to get to the top/ being the best in something.
Goes beyond high school life.
Similarities in ideas of team work, partnership, rivalry, succeeding etc.
Characters entering competitions and working hard to do their best.
Victories and failures.
"master/genius" type characters (< which was my fav part in both (gta love nizuma eiiji <3)).
Overall great plot story concept art and characters.
Both are must watch!
-Both anime tell about how the newbie (main character) try to become number one in that field (Chihayafuru -> Karuta & Bakuman -> Mangaka).
-Both anime tell about how much effort and sacrifice the main character spend to achieve the best result.
In both bakuman and chihayafuru their main journey starts from their high school freshman year, and characters are totally focused towards their dreams.
In these both series characters go through hardships and ups and downs to be able to archive their dreams and other than sports there is also romance, comedy.
And in both series there is great character development, and their rivals was also pretty much similar.
They don't have that many things that are similar but yeah after i watched these i felt like recommending them, both series are in my favourite list.
