Horimiya

-Both feature an unlikely couple coming to realize they love each other over time -Both point out how special the memories you make in high school are through exemplifying little moments, and have colorful (in Horimiya's case, literally) casts of characters that draw you in to their illusion of youth -Both have similar lead female characters with similar comedic beats, though Toradora is exaggerated far more 

Both titles are a combination of the two main characters. Both are High School romances In Horimiya they show each other a side they wouldnt show others and people get confused why they started getting closer, In Toradora the main characters recieve prejudice based on their looks and how they seem on the surface and once again their classmates get confused on why they started getting closer. Both these shows share a similar dynamic between the main couples. 

Remember when you had your first crush? Remember what it felt like? These two shows will make you feel like that. Horimiya originally aired as a web comic in 2007, while the first Toradora Novel was released in 2006. Maybe this is while they feel so similar as they are both romantic slice of life anime written at similar times, as evidenced by the prevalence of dorky flip phones in both series. Watching Horimiya takes me back to a magical time in my life when I was first discovering anime and Toradora was one of the first anime I watched. As for the similarities, both are excellently written high school romantic dramas with lovable characters that play off of each other really well. The jokes are funny, and the romance is exciting.  read more 

Both rom-com, both focusing on two high school students with a very different and distinct personality, both funny and more or less similar sense of humour. 

Both series have a very similar feel but slightly different passing in the main character development if you have watched either and liked it you will have a great time with the other one 

Both shows are slice of life romance anime set in a high school. The main girl in both shows is a tsundere, which is more apparent in Toradora, and she shows a side of herself to the main guy that she doesn't want to/let anyone else see. Both shows are more character-driven rather than plot-driven and are both, overall, just a good time. 

Really similar animes in terms of plot, especially at the beginning. Hori and Taiga both have somewhat unstable personalities. HOWEVER Unless you really enjoy the genre - i wouldn't reccomend you to watch Horimiya after Toradora. Horimiya feels more like a weak, more robotic (with artificial emotions) copy. Watching Toradora AFTER Horimiya - that is much better idea 

Both are good romcom animes with less misunderstandings  

Two slice of life, comedy, romance anime with a nice cast of characters. Both are very standard slice of life anime, so if you want something different, this is the wrong place, but both anime do a the best job at being a standard slice of life anime. 

Both of these Animes are Romance/Slice of life genres. They are sweet and heart warming when watching and focus on the small details which make the two lovers entwined with each other. 

Both have got a silly vibe about it, with adorable characters too. Though funny most of the time, I think there are still heart-heavy moments and that's why I love both of them. 

Both involve school and the characters in their day to day life. Both very wholesome, chill anime to watch :) 

Both are heartwarming light romcom type anime, showcasing characters in their day to day life. Both mc often are viewed as something they are not, either based on how they look or what they seem on the surface. Both mc has a side they show where people outside their comfort zone normally wouldn't get to experience or see (Or that people normally wouldn't expect) 

They're both funny romance animes where you will roll over laughing and waiting for the next episode. Both don't have too much romance but just enough to pull at your heart. 

They're the same anime, but honestly, I'm not even mad, they're both great. 

Both series feature a group of friends navigating their complex romantic and platonic feelings for each other. 

Both are about a guy and girl who are nothing alike and become best friends and something more..i think you'll love these both..  

slice of life/romance littered with lovable friends and cute art 

Both are comedy, romance and slice of life and both are happening in high school. Main characters act in similar ways. 

It has the same Romance and characters that aren't how they seem on the outside that toradora has but has its own unique versions of it that's why I recommend it if you liked toradora. 

Both are easy watching, girly rom-coms that are about a guy and girl who are polar opposites and become best friends...and maybe more. You'll have to watch both to see and find out! 

Looking for a fluffy, vanilla romance between lovebirds? If you enjoyed either Tonikaku Kawaii or Horimiya, you ought to check out the other. The main romantic pairings in both series quite quickly evolve past the sowing-the-seeds part of the romance, so they're focused on developing the extant relationship itself, smoothing out rough ends and coming to a mutual understanding of the relationship to bring things to an even keel. The two series generally keep spirits high, and while some drama happens, neither Horimiya nor Tonikaku Kawaii stray very far from a sugary lightheartedness with interspersed comedy. Tonikaku Kawaii dials the "sugary" setting to the max, so it's essentially drama-free. Horimiya runs almost an entirely positive vibe but does give space for some more somber introspection. Horimiya has more characters and a network interpersonal relationships to keep track of, but both it and Tonikaku Kawaii stick to the slice-of-life structure in keeping things mostly straightforward and character-driven. TLDR: This recommendation is based primarily on similarities in atmosphere and premise. read more 

Wholesome cute anime to just watch and laugh with the characters 

1. in both anime character are nearly around same age 2. Both are sweet romance animes, where couples usually become very close in just a first episode 3. bro both are heavy dosage of sweet scenes and will overwhelm you sometimes lol 

both are romantic animes with good comedy 

Fantasy romance for people who barely wants to feel love,horimiya is not cringy and had more relationship,however. 

Similarities: Characters from both animes are around the same age range(High-school) Romance, and sweetness levels to the max Wholesome relationship 

they are both incredibly cute and wholesome but also have a dash of charming humanity and human relationships that make them very real and attractive. these two shows are sometimes more human than real life and in my opinion do a perfect job at portraying real life relationships and the struggles of relationships 

both are incredibly cute and wholesome but also have a dash of charming humanity and human relationships that make them very real and attractive. these two shows are sometimes more human and do a perfect job at portraying real life relationships and the struggles of relationships without the clice tropes that makes other romance shows drags on. 

If you like romance that has a fast progress, Tonikaku might be a good choice. 

Both are simple slice of life romance animes which feature a young couple. And both shows will make you envy the protagonist for their relationship, because you pull no b*tches 

Very fun to watch, great love expressions. 

Sweet anime, I almost die because of diabetes 

Both have eccentric couples romance as well as being more focus on sol than on drama. 

Both have a great cast of characters with pretty mature personalities. Their chemistry doesn't let many jokes fall flat. Great sols that are more relatable to viewers that actually go outside (jk). 

Both have similar type of romantic comedy but instead of a school setting, it's at a workplace. and they're also otakus so you could probably relate to them. 

Both shows are great Romance shows with a bigger focus on the actual relationship of the main characters instead of the build up but don't completely neglect the build up. 

Romcom Anime. No misunderstanding with heartwarming romance. 

-Both have multiple couples -Both are romance animes -There is not much drama in Wotaku but is a slice of life with comedy 

Both of them have a shy love interest and a outgoing MC girl. Both have side couples with a diffrent interesting dynamics. Both are pretty laid-back and dont have that much drama or action. Comedy. MC teaches shy dude to love. Both couples get togheter fairly early. 

because it's a couple that no one thought would be together. 

Same category basically. Slice of life adorableness. Good to watch to brighten your mood! 

If you're into chill romance/comedy animes two animes are my recommendations. 

Both are romantic slice of life with comedic moments and relatable characters. They are more focused on the relationship itself than on getting in it. 

Both Horimiya and Wotakoi have really epic representations of relationships- though both at different points within someone's life- they aren't overly dramatized and feel really natural! Hilarious in their own lovely and unique ways, I definitely wish I could watch these shows for the first time again.  

Similar premise, setting and characters. Karekano focuses much more on the main couple, while Horimiya tries to flash out the supporting cast. 

Horimiya follows the same basic beats as Kare Kano, almost startlingly so, and the tone is similar as well. The comedy that leads into drama and back are present in both, and the series give same general impressions. The biggest difference is that Horimiya is more consistent overall with every episode being solid to great, while Kare Kano has the best 18 episode rom com with the final 8 episodes being of generally lackluster quality and ends on a low note. If you can deal with the recaps of Kare Kano, stop at episode 18, and are used to old style anime, Kare Kano is probably superior and generally more inventive while Horimiya is significantly more consistent and polished. read more 

Kare Kano and Hiromiya are the only School romances That bother to flesh out the characters and having an actual romance, and not just fooling around for more than 20 episodes. Although still idealized, far more meaningful than any other of her type that I know. 

Both romance actually contain progress and develop throughout the episodes, you won't get left with just hand-holding last episode, last minute. I recommend Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou if you're in the mood for some 90's romance, done by an amazing studio and characters are charismatic, not soulless unlike many dramas. 

the MCs have a personality that is different from what they show in school the influence of "his and her circumstances" on horimiya is quite obvious both have a really good romance 

Both animes are good romantic comedy animes. The genre is the same. The understanding between main characters in both animes is beautiful.  

The initial plot is almost the same: both protagonists find the secret side of each other and start a lovely relationship. The humor and the supporting characters are also similar, so it's a great idea to watch both of them. Although, keep in mind KareKano gets more introspective and darker 

These two anime approach romance between young people in a more mature and realistic way. Showing the advantages and problems that come with it and also the individualities of each character I recommend you read Horimiya, the anime is not good as the manga, and a lot of details were cut from the anime 

Both of these series feature a main couple that we follow for most of the show, but they also have side characters with extended stories. As well as both shows taking place in a high school setting. 

The 1990s romcom "His and Her Circumstances" (also known as Kare Kano) has a lot in common with the more recent "Horimya". Both are high school romances that take a more grounded approach to exploring the character's relationships. Other similarities include: -very similar art styles and character designs. -the main male and female characters are rather similar in personality. -similar jokes and comedic style, mix of slapstick and situational comedy. -both start off focusing mainly on the two main characters, and gradually as the story goes on include more and more the supporting characters and their backstories until its almost not about the main duo anymore. -in the two stories the main couple "do the deed" although in both its just a brief scene of them sleeping together. Overall "Horimiya" has much better production and has a great opening song, while "His and Her Circumstances" has a better story and character development in my opinion. The latter also has more serious moments in the second half. If you like one it is highly probably you'll like the other.  read more 

As is typical, both start with the two love interests discovering something about the other, and both are love stories that develop very subtly and beautifully. Additionally, both look at the main love interests in a lot of depth, showing their flaws and their redeeming qualities. Finally, both are fast-moving love stories, so even though, the relationship feels like it is developing rather than stagnating in a slump. 

Horimiya was the only anime that had similar vibes to Tsurezure Children and made me feel like watching one of the best short romance anime, again. Cute couples, lots of love, smiles, feels, fun and overall good time. Watch both in order to become a teenager in love once again! 

A great romance anime with multiple relationships in the same plot 

I think it's mainly the animation that gets me to pair these two together. Don't get me wrong, they're both romances and very lighthearted and comedic ones at that. Although there are some differences. Tsurezure Children is very short, and focuses on different relationships each episode while Horimiya focuses primarily on one. Also just for reference, Horimiya skips through the manga's timeline, which sounds bad but isn't necessarily. Very good watch for both! 

Now that Horimiya is done airing, I’d like to recommend Tsurezure Children. Both of these anime feature multiple couples, and take place in highschool. Also, more people need to watch Tsurezure! 

Horimiya and Tsurezure Children focus on the relationship and(or) "possible" relationships of different couples. Both anime explore how each couple acts and include some very endearing scenes. Furthermore, they are both very wholesome romcoms.  

Both the shows deal with school life and love between high schoolers and have a similar slice of life tone to it. Horimiya focuses on the love life of Hori and Miyamura, Tsurezure Children shows the love lives of multiple couples. 

Has various kinds of love scenario's with young highshool kids. Both have a good balance of comedy and Slice of Life, but Horimiya is more focused to their mc love story. 

They are quite similar plotwise, cute and colourful teen romance where you get to see the development of their relationships with cheesy moments. They're basically the type of show that will make you feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside :). 

If you want exactly the same plot where there are different characters falling in love with each other then you should definitely try this !:-) 

Just good old fashioned romance with no unnecessary spice. Also both set in a high-school setting (because of course it is) 

Both are great, chill, wholesome romance animes that deal with couples making a fool out of themself to try and ask each other out. These are the perfect animes to watch when you just want a good ol' time to relax and watch wholesomeness in the making. Personally, another connection I see between these two is the way the story is structured. Both animes feel like different stories each episode just with the same main cast of characters. Overall, these are both great whole romance animes that have likable ships and characters. 

Both feature opposites attract kinds of romance set in a school, and both have a lot and I mean a lot of fucking cheesy lighthearted shit in it lol and both love interests have sides to them that they have to hide to their partner.  

Gimmick in the romance, Misaki works at a maid cafe, and Miyamura has tattoos that shouldn't be seen. Misaki and Hori are very similar, fiery personalities, but caring with the one they love. Both main girls work hard outside of school for their family. 

more on-off school times HORIMIYA is about a realistic situation of friend,lover story where MAID_SAMA is about more for fun kind of story means light rom-com type couple relationship with comedy one of my favorite anime 

both light hearted romances, very similar elements like main girl's personality outside of school 

Both animes are good romantic comedy animes. The genre is the same. Though, maid sama has more comedic romancce, horimiya has heartwarming romance. The understanding between main characters in both animes is beautiful.  

Good-looking MC getting the girl to fall for her along with lots of funny scenes along the way, though horimiya has not finished these two have similar elements! 

This love is simples and beautiful, is completed. You'll feel more one focus in romance in couples than in development form a unique par romantic, but have one couple more important from history.  

This show is very similar to Maid-Sama with it being Shojo, Slice of life, and a Rom-Com. We also have our main girl as a strong-willed badass. Our main boy is pretty much the opposite of Usui, however, he is still super cool and handsome. I had been searching for another show like Maid-Sama forever, and this show is it!  

both anime have characters who love each other with one of them having a secret to hide. 

Very good story I liked the voices from both anime’s and the scenes were great 

Both shows are wholesome with a more grounded attempt at telling the romance within the story. Both shows deal with characters who exist on the opposite side of the social ladder and while both take their unique spin on the outcome of this relationship, they both are driven by the characters that exist within the world and not by the fan service other shows need to survive. I recommend both indivudually but if you liked one you would definitely like the other. 

Both are the polar opposites attract kind of romance story and lots of fluffly and cute romance in it too. 

Horimiya: Guy side seem to be playboy but actually quiet and nice guy to be boyfriend with My Dress-Up Darling: Girl side seem to be gyaru that might use her influence to manipulate/force but actually nice girl that understand you and nice to be girlfriend with Horimiya: lack of uniqueness in story but fulfill with high tier art and top-notch relationship building instead My Dress-Up Darling: lack of uniqueness in story but fulfill with ecchi and top tier art instead Horimiya: Guy went from being boring, quiet and basically have no friend to actually have nice girlfriend My Dress-Up Darling: Guy went from being boring, quiet and basically have no friend to have very close girl friend (not girlfriend yet) Horimiya: Guy get to know that girl by incidental My Dress-Up Darling: Guy get to know that girl by incidental Overall, My Dress-Up Darling is basically Horimiya but took top notch character development of all character out, put all focus on main character and add ecchi in. read more 

The same plot in which girl finds out guy's oddity , but instead of being bothered by it , girl accepts him and from there romance develops.....however, the difference was in one anime the guy looks more like a Yankee but he wasn't one, while in the other has a guy who is a complete loner with a secret fetish....when it come to the girls, in one anime it involves an ordinary girl that can kick butt, while in the other anime's girl, has her being an achiever and popular but like her guy , she too has a fetish.  

Both shows are great wholesome rom-coms that show a shy loner and a popular girl slowly falling in love as they both start getting close (and eventually influenced) by the other. My Dress-Up Darling has a more traditional pacing and has a lot of great fan service, while Horimiya instead focuses on character development and is really fast-paced (in a good way overall). Both are some of the best shows the genre have to offer in my opinion and are very similar quality wise. 

Two main characters develop a relationship through similar interest 

Both shows are wholesome Romance shows that are entertaining and fun to watch. Kitagawa reminds me of Hori a lot, same with Gojo and Miyamura they both are the loner guys who are with the popular girl. Overall, both shows are amazing and I love them both, so if you like Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru then you might like Horimiya.  

If you are looking for a romance anime, these two are perfect for you, they perfectly do what they promise, the two female protagonists are wonderful, the story develops in an easy and peaceful way and keeps you hooked for the entire episode 

-Both are romance, slice of life, and comedy genre taking place in high school -Both have a main character/couple dynamic of popular girl and quiet/loner boy -Fluffy, feel-good animes that have you dying hoping the main couple will get together with some...more mature moments (only hints) too These are two of the only romance animes I've seen that I've actually enjoyed. The animation and art is really well-done since the animes are on the newer side and if not for the plot then watch for the attractive characters, pretty art style and animation 

They both are about highschoolers who become friends by some crazy coincidence then fall in love. 

Both are wholesome lovey dovey type of school romance stories. 

Eccentric encounters and has characters meeting up in an unlikely way. Bizarre interests or descriptions that set them away from your ordinary high schooler. Similar humour.  

You want just cute relationship stuff that is just pure cavity inducing sweetness? Well here you go 

It's like in the same style but one is a straight romance and the other is a BL. 

Both are super cute romance animes. They have the early 2000s romance anime feel and they don't have unnecessary fanservice. They'll have you giggling and twirling your hair around your finger and you'll always root for the main couple. 

Both have very cute stories, plot, characters. Horimiya is more shoujo-forward while sasaki to miyano is BL.  

- One of the leads/love interest has piercings - Comedy, High School, Slice of Life, Romance - About the love lives of the two leads, while lightly touching on the other character's love lives - Good sub and dub - In both series, characters struggle to be themselves, and it does become a part of the story line (Acceptance) - Similar character archetypes can be seen in the leads - In both of these animes, it's clear to me, that the creators did not want this to be your average Romance/BL: They wanted it to be more genuine. So, not over the top, but of course it still uses common tropes every now and then. The tropes used, imho, were not toxic or harmful-- other than the miscommunication to slow down the pacing, that was dreadful... /nsrs - The characters have a lot of personality and there is a lot of logic and RELATABLE-ness that comes from these animes. I 100% recommend both of these animes. read more 

Relationships in high school Loner and Popular Delinquent and Straight-Edge Friend circles are involved 

"Horimiya" felt familiar to me right away, it is not a typical romcom and it is exactly this nice weird style that it shares with the anime "Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun". Both male protagonists have not had a great school life so far and are forced by circumstances to change that. There is a love story between couples in both series that you wouldn't expect, which sets the anime apart from the typical cliché. This is a big part of the charm of the series, as almost nothing goes smoothly and the exchanges are pretty cool. The main character pairs are similar in basic constellation, but the personalities are switched. Both series are visually and musically very well done and very entertaining. As always, thanks for reading and have fun watching. read more 

I found both shows very similar to some point both have male protagonist who had some bad time in school, and try to overcome them i think. i found all the love stories are pretty cool and not too cliché (sometimes a little but that's cool) there is some other point but you should just watch the show maybe (sorry if there's mistake, english is not my native language)  

When I watched horimiya (2021) it reminded me immediately of my little monster. Both these anime feature cute unlikely (mc) couples that create hilarious anime moments and make you wish you could watch them together forever. Similarities: Both anime are school rom coms Both anime feature an early confession (although this doesn't mean everything is smooth sailing, especially in my little monster) Both the main couples feature people you wouldn't expect together Both female mcs (Shizuku and Hori) are very assertive and smart. Both male mcs (Haru and Miyamura) give delinquent vibes (Miyamura with his piercings and Haru with his fighting) Both feature sweet relationships that have a lot of depth. The only differences are the characters and the storyline (MC) Character Differences: Male mcs: Miyamura is quiet and not academically smart; Haru is loud and academically smart. Female mcs: Hori is popular and outgoing; Shizuku is quiet/disinterested and doesn't have any friends (at first). Storyline Differences: In horimiya there are multiple romance storylines/triangles/relationships, but in my little monster apart from the storylines that revolve around the mc couple, there only seems to be one more romance storyline. The only other difference is the literal plot, both these anime are very similar but are undoubtedly separately unique. I can't say one is better than the other, because I don't think they can be compared to each other in that way. They both give the same amount of happiness and comedy when you watch them and makes you wish there was more. Basically if you love one you'll love the other. read more 

Two characters, out of touch from reality meet each other and have fun. The set of characters are pretty much similar. Good romance comedy moments. 

Similar Romcom School -Both mc have naughty style -Both have introvert students (Tonari:Heroine, Horimiya:MC) -Both have elements of a love triangle -Both have smart heroines -They get together more often, after getting acquainted 

both have a similar story and a romance with a delinquent boy and a nice girl, but also dives deeper than just I like you do you like me, and explores who they are as people. both of them are romance stories I've fallen in love with and I deeply recommend them both a lot  

School Misunderstanding Character Development Friends 

Very direct and strong willed female leads. The stories are a bit different but they give off similar vibes but both are very good shows.  

Both are the polar opposites attrtact kind of romance story and both have cute moments in it here and there. 

An awkward boy with badass girl, plus an established relationship pretty early on.  

Both shows have the lead couple where one is more energetic and out there while the other is silent. Though they are not exactly the same, both animes give same vibe. The supporting cast is also memorable in both animes. Also both have an Established relationship and the anime is about how the couple is in that relationship. Both are School Life Romance. Both animes are very sweet. No drama. Just fun relaxing time. 

- both are very comforting, sweet wholesome animes - a good friend group in both shows, sad pasts and a cute love story - popular girl dates the not popular (not that popular anyway) guy they're both just my comfort shows and really wholesome in general, watching this reminded me of the both of each of them.  

Adorable couple getting closer to each other. Romance. 

-Both don't beat around the brush when it comes to romance -The female MCs have hidden and unexpected sides to their personalities -Side characters that suffered because of unattainable love and dealt with the problem maturely -Wholesome friend groups 

these two anime are both very good romance animes thats are not sexual in anyway and the relationship between the couple in both anime is just as wholesome 

Even if you are rock bottom, there is only one way to go. Bottom-Tier and Horimiya both follow protagonists who are very much at the bottom of the school ladder but find themselves building interesting friends with those who don't seem as bad as you'd think they may be. Bottom-Tier's twist on that matter stems from Tomozaki being this fun "game of life" in improving his social status. Horimiya is a simple love story, knowing nothing but growth. Both are good anime for those interested in how one would operate realistically in the situations they are placed under. Either that or they are just good rom-coms I would suggest you try out.  read more 

These two are both series where a male classmate and a female classmate who are completely different in terms of personality coincidently meet up and learn more about the other individual. From there, the lives of both characters are never the same 

Both are about a guy who at first becomes antisocial and after certain events become "popular." They are both romance anime. The characters are very well developed and with good evolution throughout the plot arcs.  

In both series, the the f-mc is popular in school whilst the m-mc is considered a loner, gloomy, etc. Both series involve where the f-mc helps the m-mc, and the m-mc becomes more sociable in school. The m-mc in both series, eventually joins the f-mc friend group. In Jaku-Chara, the f-mc helps the m-mc in a more direct way, whilst the f-mc in Horimiya helps the m-mc more indirectly (by being there for him as a friend) Horimiya is more focused on romance, whereas Jaku-Chara is more focused on the gaming aspect. Both have a slice-of-life feel to it, and are easy shows to watch 

These two are really similar by the fact when the main character is evolving from being the type of guy that isn't talking to anybody and has no social life to having a group of friends and especially a girl that helps him to "grow". In others aspects, without giving spoilers, Horimiya is different. 

Both are a high school romance series with a popular female lead and a male mc who was deemed as a "social outcast". 

Both are light-hearted with a few cute moments. Both share a plot line of a lovable, timid character making new friends for the first time 

it's the guy here. you can skip the drama part but i think it's tolerable since it doesnt have much screen time. it's a wholesome anime. *i ship yanagi with yuki's sis 

From the same level of hype down to the concept: Slice of Life, School, the protagonist, Romance, Comedy,... I see the similarities everywhere. 

Both shows have shy introverted main characters who have difficulties with socializing, albeit one case being more extreme than the other, who first meet a person of the opposite sex in their class who opens up their whole world in a very wholesome way. While both shows are slice of life school romantic comedies, Horimiya focuses a bit on on the romance and the cast while Komi-san Can't Communicate focuses on Komi's character development and her goal.  

Both are quite normal sol/ romance with the features of the main characters setting them apart from other school anime. Hori is a typical popular girl...except she is super homely at home and Miyamura is an introvert except he has many piercings and tattoos. Tadano is a generic mc except he can scarily read the room well, Komi is a cliche ojo-sama except she struggles to communicate. Both of these 'special' things slowly wear out as the plot continues and makes the show quite boring. While every Komi-san ep has a formula, Horimiya is just a premise and watching them go on wih their lives. Both have great animation and similar characters. read more 

Cute, comedic romance anime with interesting side characters.  

Both anime center around a relationship made possible through school between the hardworking girl and the lame/unknown guy that everyone at the school thinks makes no sense. with plots focusing on very different things, both anime always come back to the fun and dramatic relationship to keep the shows similar :) 

They both show a surprisingly mature relationship between teenagers, and they're also really funny in their chemistry. The animation is also very similar. 

I know it's not similar, but trust me you need to watch this. Its a slice of life, rom-com and SO WHOLESOME TO MELT YOUR HEART 

Fast progression in the story/romance. Fun, quirky, sometimes a bit kinky. Interaction between the characters is witty and feels a bit more realistic, natural and mature than a lot of other romance series I've seen. 

They are both romance animes where the popular girl gets with the lowkey/introverted guy 

[b]THIS IS ONLY APPLICABLE IF TO THE ROMANCE ASPECT[/b] Horimiya is a romance anime that also focuses on school life and the male MC isn't braindead. If you liked the school life/romance part of Bunny Girl Senpai, this anime might be good for you. 

Both have got a different level romance and high school with an unusual couple if you enjoyed one, you'll definitely enjoy the other  

Both are amazing high-school slice of life rom-coms that have great characters and that present similar, yet unique themes.  

At the end you are gonna get kinda same feelings, a hole left in your heart but happy for their endings!!! 

Both shows explore a rom-com with initially damaged reserved main characters who go through personal growth caused by the people they surround themselves with. Both shows explore a relatively simple premise but do it to the best degree and accomplish all they intend. Both Shows are quite wholesome and have similar watching experiences. The only major difference is that Yahari follows more of a couple love triangle but i don't see that as a negative :) 

Is a simillar comedy/romance anime. Deep characters with their own mysterious past, that make them avoid some kind of romance. Both are good anime 👍 

Both are complete stories set in high-school covering actual relationships (not just the lead up to it). Both involve an introverted 'quiet' MC and extroverted 'popular' FMC. 

Similar idea, kinda similar characters and their traits, same genre. 

Both have... -Troubled male MC who doesn't socialize with people all that much -Female MC who get's the guy to socialize -Supporting character that builds a group around the male MC Though Horimiya drifts away from the Mcs and gives audience a more detailed profile on the supporting characters. Less drama related and not so much about the relationship between the Mcs but it's a good anime to go to if you enjoyed Real Girl. 

Similarities: Both have the "unpopular with popular" trope. Both have side character romance Both have a relationship in the start or early relationship. Difference: 3D Kanojo MC is an otaku while Horimiya's protag isn't The female lead of 3D Kanojo is kind of hated and has a record of dumping guys. 3D Kanojo has more drama while Horimiya is chill Hope this helps! 

The best way to describe how similar both of them are: 1. The characters are hiding their own private lifestyle. 2. Both series have more than 2 couples in the series. 3. It has good character development in every character. 4. The most important is comfy to watching in meantime. ***Happy Watching from SBK*** 

Both focus on one main pairing but also focuses on the characters' friends' relationships. There's also similar comedy and both are very happy and relationship-focused shows. 

I get similar vibes from this anime. It's so much fun like Horimiya and also about a group of High School kids. First we get introduced to the ML and Fl and then with each ep we get introduced the other students and hilarity ensues. 

- Hilariously cute romcoms - Colorful diverse cast of loveable characters - Have the same enjoyable tone 

Both are High School romance animes, although Horimiya takes more romance into stance while Gekkan Shojou is more about manga art. But still both have romance themes in it and both are quite funny. 

- in both series the main character is hardly talkative and more introverted, while the heroine is really outgoing and extroverted - the romance is mainly happening between the main character and the heroine 

• Morden High school rom-com anime with similar character dynamic. • Main characters in both the series is kinda similar ; the main guy is a soft spoken person who is also very attractive while the main girl talks to much and is very friendly. • Both the series are very well animated series with likable lead and side characters.  

-similar artstyle -similar vibe -similar male protagonists 

The vibe of both anime is similar. Watching two MCs meet and fall in love in a slice of life setting with friends and family as likeable supporting characters. Both MCs feel like Opposite attracts but it's more them getting to know each other and developing an awesome friendship which makes them love each other. Both MCs are also beautifully animated. From hair movement, to shining eyes and the way they look so good together. No awkward tsundere moments. No unnecessary drama. 

Both shows present main characters with different personalities inside and outisde school. Both shows are a great romance adventure. In both shows the boy and the girl start living togheter (sort of). 

Both are romance. both are very wholesome. Miyamura and Amane both are weird outsiders at school but very caring. Both female acts are very popular at school, but have their own "mental problems". Not much drama on both animes 

Both animes are great to watch while you want to relax. Both feature a casual love story  

Both animes have a similar type of humor and have a great development in the romance of the main couple, and to improve, both escape the cliche most of the time, which makes it have many surprising and unexpected scenes. 

funny, wholesome, super likable characters, need i say more. go watch it 

not that similar but both have many characters and but are romance and comedy anime. both have great artstyle too 

Both focuses on high school romance. Though, Ao haru Ride provides you a romance with some struggles and love triangles, Horimiya provides you a heartwarming romance with good understanding between the main characters.  

Aside from the main protagonist looking alike from one another, both shows have the same premise which centers around similar context. Focusing on romance about high school students, introducing many characters who'll eventually fall in love with one another. Providing comparable emotions to its viewers that can only be felt by watching these, making anyone's feelings flutter to their hearts content. 

both classic high school rom-coms, and the lead couples are very much in common (from their relationships, to their personalities, etc.)  

Despite some boundaries, individuals look past those "flaws" and really try to understand the nature of said other. This is true for both stories Horimiya and Kimi ni Todoke. With rather superficially looking gloomy individuals Sawako and Miyamura find themselves with rather popular Hori and Kazehaya, only to bloom a growing relationship full of bliss that youth brings at such a time. Both are good anime with great visuals to coin as their own, sharing equal amounts of drama and comedy. 

Both animes are just so beautiful. The character development is 10/10. The understanding between the main characters is heartwarming, Though kimi ni todoke is a classic romance, where the romance begins slowly, horimiya on the other hand, is a bit different. It mainly focuses on the growth after the relationship. 

Throughout this anime, this pretty much has a similar vibe to Kimi ni Todoke. One character is the loner/misunderstood student while the other character is an outgoing, popular student but wants everyone to get along with each other. Both of these animes have a "pure" vibe to them and have their romantic moments here and there. They both want to be together through their ups and downs and try to grow together as a whole with the help of their own friend group. 

If you are looking for anime romance, the conflicts are not too heavy, which can make you peaceful, and happy ending, I suggest you watch Tsuki ga Kirei their love is very, very beautiful 

Both stories are very chill, romance slice of life stories. They feel very natural, in conversation and in charachters. They both have very nice pacing and a wholesome feel that makes you want to see more of the charachters. Horimiya is a bit more mature with more comedy, but both stories are simple but executed very well. 

Both of these anime deal with a high school setting where the two main characters fall in love and see their relationship build. Normally romance anime that is all in a high school setting is full of tropes and not really realistic in life. Tsuki ga Kirei more than Horimiya is far more realistic in high school romance that I was so happy when the show ended. I felt as if someone was hugging my heart, every time some progress happened in the relationship. These are very heartwarming and pretty anime to watch.  

Both are complete romance stories covering actual relationships. Lots of romcom humour and story progression. 

Cute romance ahoy 

Both are focused around the concept of polar opposites attracting in friendship to eventual romance and have a lot of cheesy comedy in it and are also sharing in a school setting as well too.  

High school romcom. If you're looking for animes with good understanding between main characters, these two are just your thing! 

-romance/drama/sliceoflife -beautiful and cute characters -teenager high school romance -light and comforting to watch Horimiya has a more deep drama and romance than Relife, both of them are really good and has 12 episodes. You can binge them in a day! 

-Both are rom-coms -Both focuses on the relationship of not only the main duo but also the supporting cast around them -MC and Main girl personalities are somewhat switched -Relife is not as lovey-dovey but gets there towards the end (be sure to watch the specials) -Satisfying ending for ReLIFE and also for Horimiya ( manga is more satisfying tho so be sure to read the ending there after watching this ) 

-Both are part of the Romance genre. -Both take place during High School. 

Both shares how they are romance, school, slice of life, but rather than developing only two main character, the character development focuses on a group of friends as well as two main characters 

Romance, Comedy It gave me the same feeling as Nijiiro Days when I watched it.  

Both mainly focuses on the romance. Though, both anime gives us multiple couples to look forward to, horimiya mainly focuses on only one couple.  

Wholesome romance with comedy moments 

So we have our sad boy male protag. He meets happy girl protag. However happy girl has a secret and so does sad boy. Their time together saves sad boy from self-loathing. In the end sad boy becomes a better person and we all feel fulfilled as the show comes to a close. Minor differences: Characters home life, Development of non-main characters and the secrets each character has.  

Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai is a masterpiece romance anime. And so is Horimiya. It has funny moments, wholesome moment, and some moments which for me turned out to be a core piece of memory. Over all definetly recommended from me. 

romance animes that make your heart warm and/or sad 

The premise is established around the concept of unexpected circumstances with numerous comedic aspects while providing its focus on two characters having to form a romantic relationship with each other. So, if you like a romance series that has tons of surprising events that'll give you the sensation of romantic excitement, then I highly recommend this series for you. As for my opinion, both deliver the sense of satisfaction and entertainment that they have to offer, meaning having to watch either one will give the same vibes and atmosphere. 

Both are heartwarming coming of age anime that show how precious it is falling in love for the first time  

Both animes are good romantic comedy animes. The genre is the same. The understanding between main characters in both animes is beautiful.
