Kyochuu Rettou

Both these manga are almost identical in every main aspect</br> </br> Similarities: </br> * Premise - Plane crash, abandoned island survival</br> * Non-humans as antagonists (insects, animals), most of which are extinct</br> * Copious amounts of fanservice and disproportionate breast sizes</br> * Generic, unlikeable male side characters abound </br> </br> Differences:</br> * Female protagonist in Kyochuu Rettou (KR), male in Eden no Ori (EnO)</br> * Seems to be a focus on insects in KR, while EnO has a more diverse selection</br> * No apparent elements of romance in KR (though saying that there are any in EnO would be misleading)</br> </br> Highly recommended if you're okay with mediocre character design and ridiculous amounts of fanservice, with some survival elements in between</br>

A Bias Girl
|
Similarities: Same assertive,airheaded female protagonist traits.Even down to the hair length and colour. Both feature school students & a school setting. Differences: A Bias Girl features settings other than school (although it's still a prominent focus). P. Nee-san is much more surreal in nature, while still keeping to the bounds of the Slice of Life theme.

Coin Laundry no Onna
|
Both have that surreal feeling, where anything can happen. In terms of setting & mood, Bobobo is on the lighter, shonen-esque action/adventure side, while CLnO has a definite slice of life/ mild romance feel, with noticeably more humour aimed at an older demographic. The tying similarity between the two is their gag nature and not much else, so one should take this recommendation with a tablespoon of salt, at least.

Toradora!

If you like your female protagonists on the petite side, don't be afraid to check this out. While Toradora! is not as 'mature' as Toshiue no Hito in terms of both graphic scenes and character development, the plot and art quality are both solid, with real romantic development (and conclusion).
