Yagate Kimi ni Naru

Both of these shows are angsty teenage yuri dramas filled with fluff and grounded in a sense of realism. There's a strong sense of both shows' main characters trying to find themselves through the slow burn development of an inexperienced first love. They also each have their own little traumas, idealisms, and other flaws to work through. Additionally, both of these anime avoid most of the more problematic/fetish bait aspects plaguing many shoujo-ai shows -- they're heartfelt, genuine romances. And of course, they're absolutely adorable. 

-Same genre -All about exploring internal thoughts and feelings; inner-conflict; people vs. self -Environmental-vibe is similar; requires somewhat attentive watching but relaxing at the same time -Both easily give off vibes that can happen IRL; relatability is high 

It is a similar story which touches themes such as trying to figure out their own feelings and personal growth. 

if you enjoyed watching the relationship blossom between the two cute high school girls in Bloom Into You, you will no doubt find the story of Adachi exploring her feelings towards her friend Shimamura an endearing watch as well. Both these yuri anime are very purehearted and heartwarming tales, that along with the added bonus of some absolutely stunning visuals, focus on feelings of friendship turning into something more.  

-Both have Shojo Ai (Although Adachi to Shimamura is slower pacing) -Both at School -Both do show emotions from people Both are good and are enjoyable :) 

Bloom Into You and Adachi and Shimamura (yes) are in the same genre, but they take differing lanes in their stories. If you want more of a different warmth, well-written characters and personal drama after YagaKimi, you should check out AdaShi with a different take on progressing a relationship, I highly recommend it. 

I am catching "bloom into you" vibes so often watching Adachi to Shimamura: 1. Obviously both are Shoujo Ai 2. School setting 3. One-sided love and first sight 4. Even the "lover" and the "one who loved" kind of similar in both series 

both great shojo ai/girls love that take place in school 

Both include developing yuri relationships with a lot of dialogue. They both have a similar vibe to each other, but with Yagate a little more powerful. 

Both are unusually good shoujo ai series. While YagaKimi hooks us in with speedy romantic progression, Adashima takes a slower approach, giving us a deep dive into the psychology of these two very imperfect yet relatable girls. Though you won't see a crazy amount of romantic development, the character development is enough to make it worthwhile, especially with Adachi. Don't sleep on Adashima, though Adachi would certainly like to sleep on Shimamura... 

Similarities: School setting Same genre Both have Shojo Ai Both are very enjoyable  

Both are Yuri Genre The plot is a bit different but the moral of the story is a bit similar... Both the anime shows you the value of love to one another... 

I mean not much can be said other than they're extremely similar. One important thing to note is that both of these shoujo ai anime are really good WLW representation if you are sick and tired of seeing poor representation. 

Both are sweet shoujo ai romances with little to no overt sexualization present. 

Yagate Kimi ni Naru is a great Shoujo Ai and contains all the features of a forbidden lesbian relationship in a very conservative Japanese culture. Unlike the forbidden step-sister love of Citrus, Yagate Kimi ni Naru is confined to a first-year high schooler and her Senpai. I definitely recommend watching both. 

Both of these are yuri anime with similar relationship dynamics. Additionally, both shows plots' are essentially focused on the pure of heart and dumb of ass blonde character slowly having a sexual and romantic awakening towards the more experienced/streetwise (but surprisingly damaged) dark-haired character. However, Citrus is a fetish/fanservice anime at its core, while Yagate Kimi ni Naru is a lot more healthy and genuine about its relationships. If you were put off by these aspects of Citrus and want to see a more respectful and nuanced yuri show, then I fully recommend checking out Yagate Kimi ni Naru. Be warned that YKNN's ending is somewhat abrupt; the anime cuts off about halfway through the manga at a very awkward point. On the flip side, be warned that Citrus has some... questionable moments in favour of being a fetish anime, especially regarding consent (...you'll see what I mean by the end of episode 1). I much more recommend YKNN as a quality show that's genuinely trying to tell a sweet romance; Citrus can be interesting when it's not being problematic, but the problematic parts can be very off-putting.  read more 

If you liked Citrus, Yagate Kimi ni Naru is an anime for you, a Shoujo Ai in genre, Yagate Kimi ni Naru keeps you engaged throughout the series, whereas I found Citrus sort of faded in quality after the first 4 or 5 episodes. 

Both Shows Feature 2 Young High School Girls trying to find their romance. Both shows have the similar topics. 

The anime is pretty good and it wasnt rly like citrus but if you are an yuri fan i reccommend you seeing it yagate kimi ni naru got 2 girls that are in the same school 1 of them is a president and has a crush on the kouhai one so its basically backward citrus but there is not that much drama as in citrus all tho it was very fun to watch and expirience their love for each other over all a great yuri anime also the manga is pretty good as well you should think about reading yagate kimi ni naru(bloom into you manga) after you see the anime and see for your self if you enjoy it or not  read more 

Both yuri, both worth the watch :) I enjoyed both Yagate Kimi ni Naru and Citrus and I believe that they should both have more spotlight, especially Yagate Kimi ni Naru 

They are both GL and one of the MC holds their feelings back 

Both are Yuri anime with "Citrus" focused on the romance between step-sisters while "Bloom into You" is based on a high-school romance between a senpai and her kouhai. Both shows involve pairing-up of a kind and free-spirited girl with our MC who has shackled herself to her past....and both anime revolve around how the free-spirited girl helps our MC to break-free of her self-induced shackles. However, the resolution of this conflict is executed far better in "Bloom into You" than in "Citrus". While "Bloom into You" never loses it's edge in character development, "Citrus" begins to falter after six episodes with the introduction of unnecessary mini-arcs and multiple one-episode-long love-triangles.  read more 

I think Citrus and Yagate Kimi ni Naru are the best stories currently in the yuri genre; if you enjoyed the former I think you'll very likely enjoy the latter, and vice versa. While YagaKimi is not the melodrama Citrus is, it uses a more typical dramatic style and is even a bit dry at times, it is still very compelling and emotionally gripping. I think the writing in both stories is top tier and they are definitely worth watching. 

They both are about girls coming of age and realizing their sexuality. They can both be seen developing their relationships and having an open ending that needs the manga to finish the resolution. 

Girls Love 

Cute yuris which are less creepy or rapey than most of them.  

These two shows are the only contemporary shoujo-ai/yuri anime I've seen that aren't trashy/rape-y fetish bait. Both have well-written, endearing romances, both are adorably fluffy with great pay-offs, and both have similar settings/concepts (both shows are about high school age girls getting close to graduating, and feature the same themes of first love and inexperience). Both of these shows also have a very similar relationship dynamic between the charmingly clueless protagonist and her popular, cool senpai. Unfortunately, neither is a particularly complete adaption of the source material and it shows; you'll need to read the manga of either for the full experience. Both are already pretty good experiences stand-alone, but I still strongly recommend reading either series for complete satisfaction (both are fairly short manga anyways). Specifically, Bloom into You adapts about half the manga before coming to an awkward non-ending; a second season will solve this but until/unless it happens, the anime concludes with most plot points unresolved and a lot of build-up without the attached pay-offs. On the other hand, Kase-san skips the first volume (which is 'adapted' in a music video by the same studio, I suppose), and is a heavily simplified adaption of volumes 2 and 3. A lot of the manga is loosely connected one-shots, so this does work better than one would expect; however, it's still both a bit of an awkward start and end, and several important points of character development from the manga are cut or glossed over. read more 

Both anime tell us the story about two high school girls, who's fall in love with each other; Both are focusing on realistic relationship; Both main heroine are shy before they meet their love, which is strong and confident. 

wholesome love story between two high school girls with beautiful animation 

both are cute shoujo ai that i would say are worth checking out. though, asagao to kase-san has a simpler plot and characters it's still a good time by all means.  

Both are romantic yuri school anime. Both center around two girls and their developing relationship, both with a read the manga ending. 

Despite being two different animes in terms of history, where sakura trick comes off as a comedy/slice of life anime and yagate kimi ni naru as a dramatic one, both have a similar element: discovery of oneself and her partner. In both animes, the protags are kinda discovering what is romance, what is a romantic partner, the first kiss, etc. Taking by this perspective is interesting~!  

Both anime has shoujo ai, both have kiss scenes too, but sakura trick is a lot more aggressive and also both are trying to hide their relationships from friends and family members. I recommend watching both if you liked either one. 

Both are shows about a forbidden lesbian relationship. 

they are both yuri and they both have cute main characters (personally i liked sakura trick more) 

Both are very sweet shoujo ai anime, I think Sakura Trick fans would enjoy YagaKimi. 

Both series are slow burn romance between females. Both has more portrayal of the relationship between each protagonists, and how they thought. Both has more stories about side characters. 

These two yuri shows are far from your typical romance anime. Instead of having the main pair fall in love with each other right away, the series focus on the complex relationships between the characters and how their feelings develop. The side characters and their relationships are also an important aspect of the plot, whereas most romance anime predominantly focus on the main cast. If you're looking for a character-driven yuri series with plenty of development, you should definitely give these two a try. 

The sound director are the same and the way who the sound is directed too, they have some moments without any music wich most of the time goes perfectly with the situation, the animes are focused in the development of the character's feelings not only by each other but also the way they see the world, and its well developed, you can understand why they starts to like each other, the pace of the animes are a little slow, but it fell perfectly. Yagakimi is more focused in the visuals,like, the colours represents emotions in some scenes and things like that. 

Both are pretty good yuri anime with no excessive fan service, delivering the romance and drama aspects of a relationship pretty neatly. 

Both are Romance anime's with big twists that make them feel more realistic than most other anime in the genre and really pull at the heart strings 

Both are about the complexities and difficulties of love and just of being human. Developed, well-rounded characters.  

I found myself while watching both of these shows referring back to each of them. I would think, didn't the main girl do this, but found that I was actually thinking of the other show. 

Similarities: Sugoi animations and art-work Great plot and story 

Both of these are really solid character-driven romances. YagaKimi leans a lot more into the romance aspect, and I think enjoyers of the relatively wholeseome Mai-Sakuta relationship will enjoy watching Yuu and Touko. 

Both have an interesting take to explain 'love' in their own perspective. Araburu tends to relate love with sexual desires, while Bloom Into You uses love as an expression of one toward the other.  

Both shows have light, beautiful artstyles and wonderful soundtracks. They also have well-rounded and complex main characters as well as a decent and realistic supporting cast. Both shows take a look at love and really dig into how different people view it, and what that does to their development. Bloom Into You is focussed on one relationship in particular, while Araburu intertwined its story between several relationships (some healthy, some not). I truly both animes to anyone who's looking for an insightful view on teenage romance. 

Liz to aoi tori is shoujo ai suggestive and yagate kimi ni naru is a shoujo ai, both are a journey in the discovery of feelings,yagate kimi ni naru its more focused in the romance, the direction maybe are similar the audio is pretty good in both, they have several moments without any music of background. The way who the colours represents feelings etc. 

Shows feature extremely similar topics, and if you like Yagate Kimi ni Naru, you will probably also enjoy its less popular predecessor. Both shows cover a lot of romance between its two female protagonists but also takes on a lot of darker and deeper themes. Strawberry Panic, much like Yagate Kimi ni Naru, also has one of the characters being the president of the student council. Something that I enjoy about each of these shows is how little annoying drama there is apart from a few understandable characters. Strawberry Panic can be seen as a little outdated, but I recommend giving it a shot. read more 

Similarities: Stunning animations and art style 

LGBTQI+ representation in anime is rarely done correctly, which is a shame given the impact that discrimination has on our daily lives. Fortunately, Bloom Into You and Wandering Son exist, one dealing with lesbianism and aromanticism/assexuality, and the other with transgenderism, with stories that are as beautiful as they can be almost painful to watch at times due to their realism. These animes question us on our human identity, through slice of life/drama/romance, and a pacing that takes its time to build correctly its characters and its story.  

The Characters depth and the way what they are dealing with like grief is shown very well. If you like this anime and like that the characters and the way our MCs became important to one another and also the stories of other characters then you will definitely like the other. Also these two are one of few gems which really make an impact and make us care for the characters and the story. Highly recommended. 

A twin tailed freshwoman girl gets entangled into the student council due to the insistence of a hot long black haired second year girl, Yumi and Sachiko's school is a Catholic girls only, while Yuu's and Touko's is secular and mixed genre. Both are also romantic shoujo ai, Yumi and Sachiko are very close to each other, due to the more solemn ambiance of Maria-sama, but never crosses the line to overt lesbian love; Touko's love is more unidirectional in the first part of Bloom into You, and Yuu is mostly indifferent at the start of the anime. Maria-sama ga Miteru has a expansive cast and gives more time to the relationships and problems of the other girls, but Yagate Kimi ni Naru is mostly focused in the main pairing of Yuu and Touko.  read more 

If you liked the animation of Yahari Ore the animation of Yagate Kimi is very similar and the 2 stories are complicated romances 

Though Hibike! Euphonium and Yagate Kimi ni Naru seem to be about pretty different things on the surface level, there actually are a lot of similarities between the two. Both shows seem to have the same sort of feeling while you're watching them, and they both heavily rely on character drama to drive the plot forward. More superficially, both are school-based drama's that place a large focus on a club activity, and both start with the main character's first year of high school. Though Yagate Kimi ni Naru displays more obvious LGBTQ+ elements, considering that a developing intimate relationships and romantic feelings between girls is at the core of the show, Hibike! Euphonium also contains its fair share of yuri undertones that will not disappoint. The art, animation, and sound of both these shows are also wonderful, and I highly recommend that if you enjoyed one of these shows, you should definitely check the other out! read more 

Both deal with "forbidden" love on the surface but are much more than than that. Both are deep and intricate psychological studies about realistically portrayed people on a journey of self discovery through the "lens" of the affections they have with each other. Both are very subtle introspective shows with strong direction. Both share the same slightly muted color palette.
