Both stories involves a bit cliche romance theme wherein the girl meets the boy and they fall in love. But don't underestimate both manga. The authors have this really unique skills in getting the readers ask for more and have these 'Feels Trip' while reading the manga. It wanna makes you feel nostalgic in teens love. Both manga will give you laughter and heartaches that makes you wanna hug each character.

They're both about a girl (who has her own complexities) trying to get through to a troubled, complex boy who isn't open about how he feels. They also deal with very similar friendship groups in which each cares about the others and does their best to help them through whatever troubles they might encounter. Most importantly though, both are beautifully told stories. That's in terms of artwork as well as general organisation. :)

Very similar artwork and feeling. The female protagonists are actually smart, and the characters seem realistic. Also, the two storylines share the same focus on "regret" and "lost love." 

reportRecommended by AntiRoyalty

There's a distinct similarity between the two main female characters from both of these manga that I find easy to notice. In essence, the main girl is trying to get the attention of a boy from their past. And from that past, there were insecurities that she wishes to change and regrets she hopes to change. The storyline of Orange has plot twists and revelations. I also find the artwork to be similar that matches the style of their settings. If you're looking for shoujo manga with complex developments, then give these series a try.

Be it a person who isn't there anymore (Orange), or a person who has changed drastically and only partly isn't there anymore (Ao Haru Ride) - they will definitely stir the emotions of their surroundings.
In these two worlds, romantic feelings are a heavy burden to be borne by the heroines. They will discover that it is difficult to recover physical and emotional damage which has already been dealt, trying to repair it in Orange, or to build something completely new in Ao Haru Ride.
Oh, precious youth!

2 male characters with personal problems, both mangas dealing with serious issues (suicide and bullying)

There is a similar - not exact, but similar feeling both mangas evoke. Koe no Katachi has a serious tone with light touches and fluffy scenes, and a sense of redemption/changing oneself, while Orange has an overall a lovely and adorable aura at the beginning and grows more and more serious, while stacking up suspense all the while.

Both produce great, overwhelming feels. 

Both have adorable couples.

If you loved the characters in Koe No Katachi and if they gave you the feels throughout the whole reading then I would say give Orange a chance do the same thing. I won't go into depth about the story because I would basically be telling what the descriptions says, just know that I enjoyed it and I cried a lot.

Both Orange and A Silent Voice are dramas, though Orange has romance playing a more prominent role than A Silent Voice did.
'
These series both had a stong emphasis on mental health and the importance of friendship.  Both series had at least one main character who was isolated, but ended up making friends. Characters in both grapple with their own self-loathing and better themselves. The theme of finding something to live for is also present in both Orange and A Silent Voice.

Strobe Edge addpermalink

I get a familiar feel when reading either Strobe Edge or Orange. Both shoujo series explores human emotions with the main characters. They are also known for well-rounded romance that develops between the main male and female protagonists. As time goes on, the connection they build explores their true characteristics. Drama is distinctive that holds strong emotional values as well in their story. Orange is also noticeable for its additional supernatural content while Strobe Edge's story gets more complicated with romance angles.

Shigatsu and Orange builds strong relationships with its characters. In particular, the main MC has a distant personality but their connection with the female character develops gradually as the story progresses. Both series' storytelling are also heavily influenced by the events of the past including the death of a loved one. There is a concrete amount of interpersonal problems that are explored which can be relatable. Recommended especially for anyone interested in a story of drama.

These 2 wonderful manga share themes of romance, tragedy, and regret. Their story lines are rather deep as they involve death in some way, and many emotions are evoked in the reader.

Both titles masterfully weave elements of tragedy and slice of life, and are especially good at pulling on your heartstrings when necessary.

In Kyou no Kira-kun, the male lead has one year to live, while in Orange, the female lead hears about the death of the male lead from a letter from the future. While Kyou no Kira-kun's tone is a bit lighter, both titles strongly emphasize supporting each other and making the most out of each day by living without regrets.

Ano Natsu. addpermalink

Time travel! Of sorts. Present, past and future are 3 realities that get tangled in both these works involving high school friends. In Orange this happens through future letters, while in Ano Natsu they wake up during their high school days and as it happens, it comes down to mostly one person. Not only that, but both groups of friends have their secrets and misunderstandings that they try to fix, yet the consequences of their actions are heavy on their mind.

The explanation of time tampering is different, yet equally illogical in the sense that this heavily relies in random powers of the universe, however their true difference is the ending goal. While Orange is more subdued and contains relatable drama, Ano Natsu takes it a notch higher and goes a bit out control with the twists and the characters' behavior, yet there is drama as well, even if just a bit less effective. read more

Again!! addpermalink

Orange and Again has traits that can be thought provoking. This is because of a supernatural element that revolves around time that influences with both series' story. The main characters realize that they can influence events from the past, present, and future with this supernatural phenomenon. There's a great deal of focus on characters as they use their knowledge and resolves to make important decisions in both series. Expect characterization, story building, and relationship dynamics. There is also romance present in both series although Orange has more of a shoujo vibe while Again!! has more of a shounen feel.

These series have a main character tasked with finding out what happened to a mysterious classmate before an untimely accident. 

The stories switch between flashbacks and present-day to provide readers with clues as to what might have happened to the mysterious classmate. 

They deal with regret, isolation, hiding one's feelings, and tragedy in a mature way.

Finally, these series present multi-faceted characters who show that no matter how happy, perfect, successful or beautiful a person may be, there's probably a more uncertain, pained, and imperfect individual hiding within them.

To me both manga's seemed similar in different ways. In Orange there's time travel and letters and in Tonari No Kaibutsu-kun, there's neither. But to me the characters with in both seem sort of similar. Haru and Kakeru seemed really similar to me though both have different pasts. And Naho is nothing like Shizuku, but equally as oblivious to little things involving love or how to express it. 

And overall the group of friends in each and their lives is something you can easily get mesmerized with and not want to leave. You want to see them happy, feel sad when they are, etc. Both manga's do this very well, if not more so in Orange.

I love both of these manga's dearly so if you like one I'm positive you'll like the other! read more

There's a very important concept in both manga (can't say what it is, cuz spoiler; so read it and find out), besides that, there are characters that you'll end up loving. And there is romance and lots and lots of feels (like a lot, enough feels to break your heart ten times) in both. Also, they both have amazing art, the plot is fantastic and characters are relatively similar-ish. And the bonds that the characters all have with each other is quite similar, too. 

Also, they both have animes, too. So, after reading it and riding the feel train, you can watch it and ride the feel train once again. 

The only difference is that they have different genres: Inu x Boku SS has supernatural feel to it and Orange has more of a drama, school-based feel.
