Both of them are autobiographical accounts of their authors' (both of whom being female) experiences with subjects related to the LGBT community with a comedic edge. In Hanayome's case, it deals with the author being a transwoman and Sabishisugite deals with the author's experience of being a lesbian.

Both manga deal with sensitive topics like transitioning, cross dressing, gender identity confusion and even being an LGBTQ+ person in today's society. But while Hanayome is autobiographical in nature and has one trans MC, Bokura is fictional and revolves around four young boys who find comfort in each other.

Embrace Your Size: My Own Body Positivity and The Bride Was a Boy are two memoir manga written by women in the retrospect of issues that they personally deal with but aren't so commonly talked about in Japan (afaik anyway). While insecurities on gender and body size are different and have their own nuances, both of these manga tackle the positives that gender transitioning and body positivity gave to the narrators in a cute and easy to read style.

Both are autobiographical accounts of MtF (male-to-female) transitions, Hanayome wa Motodanshi. is more informal and touches on a wider range of trans topics (in Japan)/MC's life while Boku ga Watashi ni Naru Tame ni focuses on MC's journey to get gender conformation surgery.

Both deal heavily with LGBT-themes. Tho FukaBoku is more about a cast of young character's working out their identities together. Hanayome is more about the journey of one person to understand herself. Also FukaBoku is fiction and deals with the whole spectrum of LGBT and Hanayome is a journal about transgenderism specifically. Both really good both really cute.

Both are autobiographical manga that deal with Sex Reassignment Surgery done in Thailand. (male to female) Hanayome wa Motodanshi. focuses more on the relationship part of husband and wife, while Umareru Seibetsu wo Machigaeta! deals mainly with the SRS and healing process. Both try to educate about a serious topic in a light-hearted and partially comedic matter.

Hanayome wa Motodanshi and Hourou Musuko both deal with gender dysphoria and other themes of sexuality and gender, but in different ways. There are very few series that take these themes seriously, and even fewer that go into a lot of depth with their take on these themes. Hourou Musuko takes a broader look at these themes, but Hanayome wa Motodanshi does a fantastic job of exploring a more limited number of themes in greater detail. Hanayome is also far more lighthearted but probably more sophisticated in its take, while Hourou Musuko is more serious. These series are just two different perspectives on sexuality and gender,  read more

While "Our Journey to Lesbian Motherhood" deals with a lesbian couple trying to become mothers, "Hanayome wa Motodanshi" tells the story of a transsexual becoming a bride. Both manga are autobiographical and tell the experiences in an informative and personal way, to achieve more understanding of the japanese LGBT community. The drawings are kept simple. Even though troubles and worries are discussed, both manga don't go too deep into emotional conflicts. 
reportRecommended by UkePaChan
Both are autobiographical manga describing aspects of LGBTQ+ life in Japan, and specifically take time not just to relate the authors' experiences but to directly explain certain parts of Japanese LGBTQ+ culture to the reader. Hanayome wa Motodanshi focuses more on this sort of exposition than Honey & Honey; the latter is longer and spends more time on the story of the author's relationships and romance.
