Two early and popular works of Urasawa Naoki. The character designs are basically the same...They both feature heroines involved in sports and male character(s) playing important role supporting them. Yawara! is more about romance, while Happy! is more about life and the sport. 

Yawara! is a romantic in disguise of a sports. (Trust me, there's not much excitement in the sports.) They are classic works of the 80s by two legendary authors. Both are slow romance that ran for 6 years in both real and manga time, and took the entire time for the romance to blossom in the end. They both involve love triangles. 

Both of these manga are about girls who participate in martial arts competitions.  

Sports comedies about an energetic girl practising a fight sport against her will. Both girls were pushed into it by their father, while they are longing to have a normal ‘fashionable’ life with friends and romance.
