Both are slow developing romances where the uke is an artist and a little bit strange. Sono Te no has funny pats too 

The same feel for a mature and introspective relationship, much more bittersweet in Complex (which can draw tears). Both very nice mangas, although Complex is probably the better of the two.  

Cold looking ukes with semes undetermined with their love at first,struggling to communicate and show their feelings for the other. 

Both mangas are able to develop the plot and characters with very well thought out dialogues and subtle actions, and are thus very believable. They're light shounen ai, so they are both very sweet, and it's really not all about the sex. Another thing is that Youichi, the main character of Hana wa Saku ka is strangely similar to Ren from Super Lovers. Of course Youichi is much older and thus more mature, but they have a similar curiosity and aloofness towards things... and especially towards Sakurai/Haru. 

Similar art, mature main characters and slow romance development. Both focus a lot on plot and slice of life/drama elements rather than sex. The romance is absolutely lovely.  

Both have stories were main character looses something and goes back to retrieve it. Soon on the love begins to pick up. 

The plot and characters are not similar to each other, however, both manga give off a really warm feeling. In addition, plant/flower is used as a metaphor in both works.  

Both are BL, feature age gap romance+slowburn and made by the same author. 

This is very similar because they all live in a residential area with other quirky people. The owner is very quiet and often misunderstood. The MC in both manga have similar personality in my opinion. Both MC fall in love with the owner and have to endure some opstacles. Overall I think once you read them you will see the similarities. 

Both manga has a couple with an older working man and a relatively young and inexperienced boy. But the age gap is bigger in Hana wa Saku ka. In both manga young one is related with a branch of art which are painting in Hana wa Saku ka and photography in Kimiiro Eden. Both older men are straight at first or at least it is their first love interact with a man. I read Hana wa saku ka first and really loved it very much so i can recommend to read it first and then Kimiiro eden. Both manga has similar vibes but Kimiiro Eden is much more shorther and things are making progress faster. read more 

Both manga involve very mysterious, quiet ukes and outrageously curious semes. 

Both mangas involve much older semes that fall for mysterious ukes. In HNN, the uke was abused by his parents.  

Cool and innocent looking ukes. Having their 'potential' semes having trouble communicating with them due to their cold attitude. 

Both stories focus on the confusion and shock of discovering and handling feelings towards a person of the same sex and how to move from there and come to terms with it. Hana wa saku ka isn't quite as angsty and is on a slightly brighter side but still, they are two manga which I love since they explore the more serious sides to a homosexual relationship between men.  

Both are yaoi that involve a hard-to-understand young man who owns a huge house. Another, older man eventually comes and bonds with him. 

Both quiet romance manga (one is yaoi the other is shoujo) about a loner eccentric, melancholic character falling in love and being brought out of their shell a bit by an unexpected character int heir lives. Also, flowers are a strong symbol in both. 

The ukes are fairly similar in these two stories. They have the same quiet, anti-social personality. People cannot really tell what they are thinking because they are affected by tragic backstories. Enter seme who understands them and helps them.  

Castle Mango and Hana wa Saku ka don't share the same story or anything totally similar in particular, but both have "oyaji" seme and young uke in a slow-paced relationship. Neither of them have smex or cliche scenes, it is shounen-ai and they both tell how two guys meet and start falling slowly in love. I recommend the other if you like any of them... 

Both mangas deal with relationships where the seme is many years older than the uke. Both ukes are still in school at this time. 

Both ukes are quiet, reserved, and seemingly indifferent toward their semes. In SL, the seme is obviously chasing down the uke, but it's not quite like that in HwSk. Also, it's important to note SL is an incomplete manga.
