If you liked Cat Street add

...then you might like Orange add

These manga both have a school setting among a group of friends and realistic characters. There is a strong emphasis on character growth. The main characters become involved in a love triangle, but the tone never becomes over-dramatic because of it.

If you liked Jeanne add

...then you might like Baraou no Souretsu add

These historical manga both consider gender issues in an historical context. In Joan, Emil, or Emily, was raised as a boy for her protection, while in Baraou no Souretsu, Richard was born intersex. Battles and warfare are the setting for political power-plays for European royalty. The main characters in both manga also see visions of Joan of Arc, who talks to them about their personal issues.

If you liked Golden Days add

...then you might like Ao to Umibe no Nostalgia add

Although Ao to Umibe no Nostalgia is a one-shot and Golden Days is an eight volume manga, these two have a similar premise involving time slips and the Taishou era. Someone travels to another era, has difficulty adjusting everyday living there, and falls in love with someone from that era. Both manga also have bittersweet endings.

If you liked Eikoku Koi Monogatari Emma add

...then you might like Akagami no Shirayuki-hime add

Although the settings are a bit different--Akagami no Shirayuki-hime is set in a historical fantasy version of Europe, and Emma is set in a historical 1880s-1890s London, the tale of a lower class girl and an aristocratic man still strike the same chord. Both Prince Zen and William Jones are gentlemanly heroes who respect their love interest despite her social position. Shirayuki and Emma are both hard-working women who take pride in their work.
