They are both about a troublesome girl. Both have drama that comes from the fact that one or more characters are lesbian or have had or is having lesbian relations. Both also have a unique drawing style and both only have one volume. Both are written by female authors. 

Both series are gay love stories that are respectfully presented and both have emotional stories. Hoppe ni Himawari focuses more on the struggle with body image and Blue deals with first love, personal problems with the characters and the struggle with heteronormativity in society. Blue is more of a serious manga with a melancholy tone. It has a very unique minimalist art style that can be hard to follow but regardless, I 10/10 would recommend if your looking for more LGBT representation and a wonderful story!  

Friendship between girls which blossoms into something more. Both titles provide realistic and beautiful portrayals of shoujo ai and female relationships in general.  

Both have the same kind of sadness that is so attractive in Josei. I think blue is a bit more painful because of it's innocence, but Indigo Blue is almost like a more mature reading of a woman coming to terms with her self as someone who loves other woman as opposed to girls discovering love in unstable places. -A.
