Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san addpermalink

The premise of both series adapts a more of slice of life tone rather than a traditional story format. However, they both portray comedy and realism very well with the contents of their presentations. Both series' main characters' interactions play key roles to bring memorable moments. Most of these moments revolves around school activities but also with a diversity of creativity. Highly recommended for anyone who is interested in a mixture of comedy and slice of life.

Kuzumi-kun, Kuuki Yometemasu ka? addpermalink

When I first read Kuzumi-kun, I thought of My Neighbor Seki. Both center on girls who are extremely obsessed with their male classmate who quietly goes about his business. My Neighbor Seki is more episodic where Seki is doing a different activity at his desk from setting up dominoes to playing with shogi pieces or action figures, while Rumi narrates what is going on. Rumi is constantly distracted and ultimately gets in trouble with the teacher at the end of the chapter. The series emphasizes comedy first, with romance being relegated to a part when one of her classmates thinks the two are in a secret relationship.

With Kuzumi-kun, the main girl Sakura finds herself constantly concerned with what Kuzumi is doing, whether it is just vacantly staring into space or watching birds or hanging out with his best friend. She too gets distracted in class and gets in trouble with the teacher, although many of her activities are also outside the classroom. Sakura has a major crush on Kuzumi yet constantly and publically denies her interest in that tsundere manner, while attracting the affections of plenty of guys. Sakura also has girl friends, one of whom is very well aware of her crush while the other is not so much. There is also a rival guy who likes Sakura but struggles to figure out what makes her so attracted to Kuzumi, and there are parts where Kuzumi has silently shown kindness to his friend and other characters. There is also an underlying theme of looking beyond the rumors as characters get to know each other. Although the manga is presented like a full-page yonkoma style with a punch line for every page, the pages have a common storyline.

Will the guys ever talk? Will the girls ever make progress? Regardless, it makes for enjoyable comedy and romance. read more

Eccentric highschool boy and a normal girl that unwillingly gets dragged into his weird behaviors. Lots of comedy, but Yugami-kun has actual romance while Tonari no Seki is purely gag manga.

Both feature likable and eccentric characters that are outgoing and easy to relate to. Their over the top everyday antics will guarantee a smile on your face. Lighthearted shot comedy chapters are very fun to read.

Himouto! Umaru-chan addpermalink

While seemingly different on the outside, both Tonari no Seki-Kun and Himouto! Umaru-chan brings slice of life in a more creative form. Both series' main protagonists has an open mind when it comes to creativity. There's an absurd amount of humor in both series that stretches with a wide variety of events for both series. And while they don't follow any storyline or arc, they make it up with the distinctive events of what every day life should be in its most playful form.

Craft Girl addpermalink

These manga are comedies about a person with a remarkable ability to resolutely ignore reality and think their own way, and their tsukkomi friend. In both of them, a third character has a delusion that romance is going on.

Takahashi-san ga Kiiteiru. addpermalink

Main female character is concerned about activities of her classmates. In Tonari no Seki-kun, the girl observes her neighboring guy classmate do all sorts of weird activities that might get him into trouble, while in Takahashi-san, the girl uses headphones to listen in on the boys' conversations. Throughout the chapters, the girl would provide commentary on what is going on. and try to keep their own activities a secret. It is mostly around high school life.

SKET Dance addpermalink

Comedic Manga about the daily school life. Both manga feature various shenanigan's from the main characters and side characters. SKET Dance is more likely to have some serious moments and story arcs compared to Tonari no Seki-kun which generally has a new scenario every chapter. Both are hilarious and I highly recommend them. :)
