If you liked Bakemonogatari add

...then you might like Bocchi the Rock! add

Very different genres, atmospheres, and maturity levels, but very similar use of creative artwork to depict ideas and emotions. Bakemonogatari (or Monogatari as a whole) tends to do more quick jabs of humor while Bocchi the Rock tries to setup an alternate scenario of hilarity to make the scenario itself the joke.

If you liked Ore wo Suki nano wa Omae dake ka yo add

...then you might like Romantic Killer add

Both shows fall into the subgenre of meta-romcoms that use a layer of meta-irony to get you in the door with a whacky concept, and slowly peel back the layers to reveal a more standard romcom at its core. I would say Romantic Killer is more creative in its animation and directing, but both do a good job at treating situations and circumstances as building blocks that are obvious to both the MC and the audience.

If you liked Noragami add

...then you might like Jujutsu Kaisen add

Both shows have so many similarities it's hard to count. The main reason I would watch both of these shows is because they prioritize different elements of their stories slightly differently and it can create a moderately different viewing experience sometimes. If you are a fan of either of these shows, watching the other will help you get a better perspective on what exactly you like or dislike about each. You won't dislike either shows, you just might like one a little better than the other.

If you liked Hananoi-kun to Koi no Yamai add

...then you might like Kaketa Tsuki to Doughnut add

While Kaketa Tsuki is Yuri romance and Hananoi-kun is a male-female romance, both have: - The idea of working on individual goals/insecurities in order to be able to properly maintain relationships, romantic or not. - Realistic character insecurities and personalities - Have characters that can properly communicate their feelings with one another Kaketa Tsuki is a little less spicy as Hananoi-kun, but still has really good payoff moments. If you liked Ase to Sekken as well, you will like both of these, as all three of these works use the "work on oneself to better the relationship" mantra that produces very good stories.

If you liked Fujiyama-san wa Shishunki add

...then you might like Amano Megumi wa Sukidarake! add

To preface, if you aren't okay with at least 5 times as much ecchi as Fujiyama-san has, Amano Megumi is not for you. If you are fine with it, both have the settings of a very day to day slice of life and doing things on a routine (Sports, studying, walking home together). While Fujiyama is a lot calmer and more detailed in its artwork, Amano Megumi wa Sikidarake provides some of the same intimate and awkward moments of a good coming of age story in a more cartoonish and playful atmosphere/pacing.

If you liked Horimiya add

...then you might like Hananoi-kun to Koi no Yamai add

Very similar male MCs alongside both relationships feeling slightly unorthodox. Hananoi-kun has a lot less humor but explores each character's weaknesses and strengths in relationships way better than Horimiya. Its as if the story put more points into introspectiveness instead of aggressive/forwardness. While Horimiya has characters that are generally only positively aligned aside from Miyamura, Hananoi-kun does a good job at having characters that have done bad/regrettable things and try to move past them. Another way to see it is Horimiya does extremely well with its side character dynamics, while Hananoi-kun does extremely well with its main character dynamic.

If you liked 14-sai no Koi add

...then you might like Kono Kutsu Shirimasen ka? add

While one is a collection of shorter stories, Kono Kutsu Shirimasennka and 14-sai no Koi are written by the same Mangaka. If you want a couple shorter and just as good stories like 14-sai no Koi, it fills that hole. If you want a more fleshed out version of some of the short stories in the former, especially chapters 1, 2, 5 and 6, then you want to read 14-sai no Koi. The way the author deals with relationships that aren't min-maxed perfect is shown in all these stories talked about.

If you liked Shark na Kanojo no Territory add

...then you might like Koushinchou Kouhai ♀ to Teishinchou Senpai ♂ ga Renai ni Hattensuru made. add

Although a lot shorter, it has similar character archetypes and is a fun short read.

If you liked Komi-san wa, Comyushou desu. add

...then you might like Asper Kanojo add

The main characters both struggle with the idea of disorders. If you want a less happy, still wholesome, more detailed look into how people with disorders live, this is for you.

If you liked Tonari wa Nani wo Kuu Hito zo add

...then you might like Aikagi-kun to Shiawase Gohan add

If you like this series but wished the story and chapters were a lot longer, this is for you. Each chapter is upwards of 50 pages and contains good food alongside very organic romance like in Aikagi-kun to Saiwase Gohan. At first the length might scare you but I assure you by the later half you will wish they were longer!

If you liked Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu add

...then you might like Ponkotsu Fuuki Iin to Skirt-take ga Futekisetsu na JK no Hanashi add

If you like Ponkotsu for its self-aware main character and great comedy, but want more intimate moments between the duo, Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu is for you. If you Liked Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu's side characters and how they interacted with the main characters, along with how the main character develops their emotions, Ponkotsu will definitely not disappoint.

If you liked Fune wo Amu add

...then you might like Vinland Saga add

A different genre for sure, but if you liked the idea of character's choices heavily affecting their future, Vinland Saga and Fune wo Amu use this idea very effectively as a main plot device and make seeing the difference later on very amusing.

If you liked Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken add

...then you might like Honzuki no Gekokujou: Shisho ni Naru Tame ni wa Shudan wo Erandeiraremasen add

If you liked Reincarnated Slime's way of building a world narrative slowly over time, Ascendance of a Bookworm does this on a smaller scale but still feels just as rewarding when things are done. Doesn't have much action and is a lot more slice of life isekai, but makes up for it by keeping the idea of the Main character's past life a more central plot point.

If you liked Kotonoha no Niwa add

...then you might like Yesterday wo Utatte add

If you liked Garden of Words for its: - Quiet and calm pacing - Rough traversal of relationships And wanted more: - Time for character developement - Characters involved in the main plot Then Sing Yesterday is for you. Although the art quality isn't as godly as Garden of Words, what it lacks in art-style it makes up for in its situational-event building.

If you liked Fune wo Amu add

...then you might like Yesterday wo Utatte add

- Quiet and subdued atmospheres - College level relationships and older - Deal with struggles of life in different ways, but boil down to choosing what will end up making themselves the happiest, which can be ugly or beautiful.
