Honeymoon Salad addpermalink

What links these two is what separates them from everything else I've read: three people living together under the same roof (one guy and two women) and the guy managing to have an intimate relationship with the two of them, without war breaking out. The respective trios in the two come to share a close bond, in spite of the obvious jealousy issues that come with one guy doing two girls.

There are countless harem series where multiple girls go after one guy and sod all ever happens. There are also many where the lead and his harem live together. But series with adult, 20+ characters, with relationship complexities and LOTS of wank-worthy sex?... Nah.

In Sakuranbo the girlfriend of the lead doesn't just go, "You need to snog my man to avoid aging backwards, every day?... Ok, no problem!" - she starts out incredibly hostile and jealous, as you'd expect. But once the two women get to know each other and it's clear there aren't any romantic feelings between the snog-needer and the man in the middle, they start living together and act like a happy family.

In Honeymoon Salad it's FAR weirder. The ex the lead has dreamt about for half of his life turns up on his doorstep. At the same time, he starts having sex with another woman. One thing leads to another and all three start living together. You'd expect lots of jealousy, but Ichika (the lead's girlfriend) runs away from men once they start loving her back and actually wants Youko (the ex) to stay, where as Youko gets on with Ichika - despite having the opposite personality - and doesn't mind about the other two getting it on.  read more

Hitsuji no Uta addpermalink

Both plots are almost identical since Hitsuja no Uta is about two siblings that suffers from an extremely rare disease and Sakuranbo Syndrome is about a university student that suffers from an extremely rare disease. The two series focuses on the main character’s life.

Natsu no Zenjitsu addpermalink

Both involve a relationship between a man and an older woman and shares some traits with their equivalent characters. Both mangas are also heavy on romance and drama and also share similarities in some of the plot points.

Kimi wa Pet addpermalink

Both series focuses on relationships but in rather unorthodox circumstances. In essence, their story connects characters through friendship and romance. The main male protagonist also has similar personalities - caring, compassionate, and helpful. The female protagonist on the other hand has more of a childish personality but does show their mature side as the series progresses. Both series are also known for their drama involving other characters that gets involved in their relationships; recommended for fans looking for a mature seinen or shoujo.

Virgin na Kankei addpermalink

Male employee has a relationship with his boss. 

The difference is that Virgin Na Kankei focuses more on 'soft porn'.

While Sakuranbo Syndrome focuses on different things (and a loli-ish problem).

Manga: Kono S wo, Mi yo! - Cupid no Itazura

Kono S wo, Mi yo! - Cupid no Itazura addpermalink

Created by the same author with a psychological drama twist to its romance plot, both series follows a darker story what they seem to be. The main male protagonist gets themselves involved in complicated situations where their relationships are tested to the limit. Throughout both series, the MC struggles to maintain his role to help others yet faces problems of his own. Interpersonal issues aside, both series also contains a decent amount of maturity. Expect plot twists and a story where personal desires become more than just a problem.
