Horimiya

Tsuki ga Kirei addpermalink

Both are non-dramatic slice of life anime with actual romantic relationships.
Tsuki ga Kirei is not a comedy anime like Horimiya is, but if you enjoyed observing the relationships and their development you will definitely enjoy Tsuki ga Kirei as well.

Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen addpermalink

High school romance. Though, Kaguya Sama focuses more on the comedy, horimiya on the other hand, focuses on the character development.

Kimi ni Todoke addpermalink

Despite the fact that one show is open shoujo and the other is just shoujo-ish shonen, both shows are good SoL representations of teenage relationships and the problems that can arise from them. While Kimi ni Todoke focuses on the problems of young girls' socialization, Horimiya explores this problem from the male side and also adds a study on the problem of misunderstanding between teenagers.

ReLIFE addpermalink

Assimilation. ReLife and Horimiya both follow two individuals who seem to have been rejected out of their class territory due to their quiet presences, though in engaging with the correct people, they are able to make a turn for the better in their lives.

ReLife does this with Hishiro joining Kaizaki and his friends in order to improve her social life, regardless of any negative stigma around her. Horimiya does this with Hori and Miyamura having an unexpected meeting, which enables them to look past superficial qualities and discover one within.

Both are good rom-com, sharing the same amounts of drama too.

Golden Time addpermalink

I have no idea how people did not recommend this.

The genre is basically identical and focuses almost right away on the relationship. Has a minor "supernatural"-ish twist in it. I immensely enjoyed it. Don't sleep on this one.

Clannad addpermalink

Both series have good ships, both couples start getting close in a similar fashion.  The only difference is that Horimiya,  the ship sets sail much earlier in comparison to Clannad, and ofc their stories are not exactly the same. 
These are good series if you're looking for a romance,  slice of life that doesnt unnecessarily play around and tease you for no reason.

Fruits Basket 1st Season addpermalink

The two are able to wonderfully portray the awkwardness and pains of growing up in Teenage or you can say Young Adult. Both Tohru(Fruba) and Kyouko(Horimiya) share similar aspects in which they both become caretakers to a family. The character development and mix of romance and comedy also greatly resembles that present in Fruits Basket. Definitely recommended if you are looking for shows which provide the same emotional vulnerability wrapped in a slice-of-life setting, look no further.

Romantic Killer addpermalink

If you enjoyed Romantic Killer, chances are you'll also love Horimiya because both series offer a level of quality above the average for romance anime. They feature charismatic characters who are gradually and well-developed throughout the story. While Romantic Killer leans more towards comedy, both shows maintain an exceptional standard of quality in their respective genres.

3-gatsu no Lion addpermalink

It is not that 3-gatsu is a Romance Comedy, but there is just something about the mood that is similar. Both Kiriyama from 3-gatsu and Miyamura from Horimiya had a history of being alone. We see character development in both where they grow out of their bubbles and find people who care. There is just a warm and wholesome feeling in both animes.

Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! addpermalink

If you enjoyed Chuunibyou purely because of its romance factor, how the main couple plays around and spends time together, then perhaps Horimiya could fill out that same void that was left upon finishing Chuunibyou. The character focus in Horimiya is a lot more fickle and shifty, but the little moments make it altogether that more precious, from my own subjective standpoint, that is. If this recommendation gets you to try Horimiya out, tell them yzhriz sent you! Enjoy! (plus the OP and ED for Horimiya absolutely SLAPS so that's an added bonus)

Koi to Yobu ni wa Kimochi Warui addpermalink

A romance slice of life show. Deals with topic of daily life, work and school. The only difference is if the pursuer in Koikimo is the man, the pursuer in Horimiya is the woman.
