Life | Manga - Recommendations

Both stories seem to be the same and have the same kind of feel to it, its starts out with a girl pissed off and wanting to pretty much bully the weaker person and then the whole class startes to join in and falsely blames the main character.

Mondaiteiki Sakuhinshu addpermalink

Both of these books is about school girls who feels very bad. While Confidential Confessions is about many girls with different problems (rape, stalkers, bullies, drugs, suicide thoughts...) Life is about one girl who have a lot of problems! The reality in both seems very harsh and dark, but also contains episodes of happiness, courage and friendship. It also shows how people can still carry on in very hard times.

Dear Friends: Rina & Maki addpermalink

Both manga show the different sides of friendship and how there are people who may seem close or loyal to you, but have a much darker side. It also emphasized how true friendship exists, but is hard to find, and how it can sometimes save people.

He's Dedicated to Roses addpermalink

There are a lot of similarities too; He Dedicated to roses and LIFE, the theme first of all. (Rich girl that gives no cares to someone elses life tricks a girl into doing whatever they want, then Girl finds a way to become stronger) and then the chararcters in both manga's seem a lot alike. 

For example: 
(LIFE) Manami is a lot like- (He Dedicated to roses) Mini
(LIFE) Ayumu is a lot like- (He Dedicated to roses)Ida
and so on....

Koe no Katachi addpermalink

If you read Koe no Katachi you might find LIFE to be similar.   LIFE is a completed mature shoujo that is about extreme bullying, so the bullying in it goes beyond what is shown in Koe no Katachi and it is more violent and there is no real reason for it.    It has less redemption for the bully as she said she chooses her victims just because it is fun for her and truly is more psychotic and yandere than just a bully.  But if you are looking for other mangas to read about bullying you might give it a try, it is by the mangaka of Vitamin which is also about bullying,  but don't expect these to have a bully who turns around like in Koe no Katachi, LIFE is much darker and more mature.   The heroines of both though are nice girls that keep going and have good character.   read more

Nana addpermalink

Plenty of drama, an interesting cast of characters, and a great art style.
The relationship between Ayumu and Miki reminds a lot of Hachi and Nana, and their encounters are both full of emotion: a kind-hearted but troubled girl (Hachi, depressed due to her numerous but unlucky love interests, & Ayumu, hopeless because of her being bullied) suddenly meets a cool, indipendent, strong and beautiful girl, and the two, who are the opposite of each other, become friends in a new school/city.
Even if in different ways, both are mature series which are about lasting out in life.

Happy Tomorrow addpermalink

Same mangaka, Keiko Suenobu, and a lot of similarities.
Both are mature and dramatic series, and involve schoolgirls with either school or love problems and their efforts to solve them.
Happy Tomorrow is made of only 4 chapters, while Life is still on-going, anyway both are worth reading.

Vitamin addpermalink

Same author.
Drama, school, psychological, josei.
Both are great mature stories, and the girls protagonists, whose life is a mess, get into difficult situations, but try to fight and to finally reach happiness.
Both manga show how classmates, especially girls, can be mean.
If you enjoyed one you totally must read the other too.

Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou addpermalink

Basically, both manga narrate of school life, and are great at doing so.
Even though Karekano is more romantic, while Life focuses on friendship, both series have lots of character development. Life is a strong, shocking psychological drama and has very few light-hearted moments, but Karekano also gets pretty dramatic and serious at times. Plus, the subject of bullism is touched in both series (constantly in Life, only for a short time in Karekano).
Both manga have impressive art styles and are totally worth reading. If you're sick of dull, overused, happy-go-lucky shoujo manga, try these two.
