Manga: Around 30 dakedo, Hatsukoi desu.
Both Around 30 dakedo, Hatsukoi desu and Wotakoi, at their core are an adult romance manga with many slice of life and comedy aspects. They both have a lot of setting within their office/work and it ties into the side couple. Both stories have a more "experienced" side couple that is helping the main couples relationship. In addition, the side couple in Around 30 dakedo, Hatsukoi desu and the main couple in Wotakoi are very similar in my opinion.

Manga: Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun
Romantic comedy of several pairings within a group of friends. Both also centers on otaku culture, in which the characters in Wotaku are anime or game otaku, and the characters in Gekkan Shoujo write manga. Wotaku is set in an office and the romance is more progressed, while Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun is set in school. However, both series have similar atmosphere being a light read comedy with unique and lovable characters.

Manga: Futari Ashita mo Sorenari ni
Both manga focus on adult couples with relationships that are more realistic/normal. Futari Ashita mo Sorenari ni is a slice-of-life where the events are toned down and simple. Wotakoi has more comedy and dramatic events.

Manga: Yamada-kun to Lv999 no Koi wo Suru
They're both light-hearted romantic comedies about gamers/nerds. The settings are pretty similar with a few chapters taking place in-game. Wotaku is about an office relationship vs. Yamada-kun the FL and ML are still in school. Overall they are both very refreshing reads about gamers and romance.

Manga: Noa-senpai wa Tomodachi.
its an office romance between an kuudere and a recently broken up with girl

Manga: Maybe Meant to Be
-The main couple get married out of convenience in the very first chapter, similar to why Narumi and Hirotaka start dating in the first chapter of Wotakoi. -Mincheol (main guy) is really similar to Hirotaka. Similar appearance, loves video games, pretty chill and laid back. Only difference is that he's ripped... -Both series have a side pairing that's equally great as the main couple -Lots of fun comedic interactions interspersed with good romantic moments It's like a Wotakoi successor in my book.

Manga: Sasaki to Miyano
Both are wholesome, heartwarming, and comedic love stories. The humor is similar, and both involve themes of otaku and fudanshi/fujoshi. While Wotakoi shows a girl who is a BL fanatic in a relationship with a boy, whereas Sasaki and Miyano is an actual BL showing a boy-boy relationship. If you're like me and decided to get into BL after reading Wotakoi, Sasaki and Miyano is a great place to start. :)

Manga: Still Sick
otaku coworkers that fall in love 
reportRecommended by coffeejellystan
Manga: Super no Ura de Yani Suu Futari
Smoking behind a supermarket also deals with adult romance and professional life as opposed to what is typical within the romance genre. The only difference is that the characters in this series are not immediately dating rather it's them building their relationship. It's a very relatable series for adults though and also at the same time a funny and interesting one too.

Manga: Wakeari Danjo no Secret Days
This is a cute and short manga that I think fans of Wotakoi might enjoy. It has a similar premise of a coworker romance with the mc hiding the secret hobby as an otaku. The romance is slower than Wotakoi but it's still pretty cute! 
reportRecommended by Sparkletopia
Manga: ReLIFE
It is a Love Comedy, with pure true love. If you liked ReLife style, you will love this manga also. Maybe the story and the continuity are a little bit confusing, but it is worth it. The story is easy to read, and the author doesn't mess a lot with the mix of chapters.

Manga: Neko to Kiss
Both are comedy romance where the couple is just cute all around and gives a warm fuzzy feeling when reading. The fluffy and funny interactions gets you going in the kokoro. So i think the common elements between these two is that they both have the same vibe and will make you chuckle. but yeah I wanted to recommend. <3

Manga: Complex Age
Both of these feature main characters who are working adults with otaku hobbies (Complex Age is specifically focused on cosplayers) but are trying to conceal this from their coworkers out of fear of being rejected. They also both have romance/dating in the storyline, although it plays a more minor role in the storyline of Complex Age, and Complex Age isn't as lighthearted.

Manga: Motokare ga Fudanshi ni Natteorimashite.
Similar stories that involve a fujoshi and an otaku male friend (gamer/fudanshi) and how they bond over their mutual interests

Manga: Dasei 67 Percent
Both are about a bit nerdy jung adults/university students that hang out and play together.  
reportRecommended by xShinigami3125
Manga: Bijin Onna Joushi Takizawa-san
Well this is similar where the couple works and I'm sure you'll like this one as well. This is about 2 couples both are otakus in their own kind.

Manga: Hokenshitsu no Otaku Oneesan wa Suki desu ka?
Both manga feature otaku outside their natural habitat (at a workplace). So if you enjoy people trying to hide their otakuism while trying to get by at the workplace, then you ll like these two manga.

Manga: Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi
Both have a rather similar cast of young working adults and a lot of comedy with some romance. 
reportRecommended by xShinigami3125
Manga: Telework Yotabanashi
You might've already noticed that both are seinen rom-com manga about working adults. While TY doesn't involve all-out otaku (Nokoru seems halfway there at best) unlike Wotakoi, there is a common theme of adults with peculiar tastes? There's more emotional (and overall) maturity in TY, so don't expect as many laughs as you would with Wotakoi; TY compensates for this with a short, satisfying and well-paced romance that will have you really rooting for the two throughout!
