Manga Recommendations

Both stories are about a girl that gets reincarnated and want to protect the female main character from the original story from the love interests. One of the love interests that was originally interested in the original main character starts being interested in her instead.

These are romantic comedies that are both funny and heartwarming.

both well made management-centered isekai, grounded and realistic, in which the mc becomes a ruler, in one case as a god, in the other rising from dust to become a king in both the magic is not over the top nor omnipresent

Set in worlds devastated by constant monster invasions. The main characters were "possessed" by a monster, became one, and gained world-destroying power. Join monster extermination organizations and get abused by the higher-ups because of their monster status. Comparatively, RaiRaiRai is a less edgy, more comedic, and female MC battle shounen.

Both are about the life of high school boys just doing what they want. Both are funny and have jokes around high school boys friendship.

Both are slice of life stories set in unusual locations that focus on the small details of daily living before the plot boils over unexpected. Bonus points, the mangaka are friends with one another!

- Both created by same mangaka - Entwined ensemble cast where everyone gets a chance to shine - A variety of love stories - Fresh twists on established paranormal creatures and interesting but different questions on how to live with them

On the surface these two series are quite different, but without spoiling the plot they use an oddly similar way of connecting the time periods. While Blue hole is set in a world with dinosaurs, Yumihari is not and is instead set in a more historical/fantasy world. It does have the navy dealing with these unfamiliar worlds in both though, and both manga are Seinen manga that i enjoyed in a similar way. Give them a shot if you feel like it.

Sugary sweet romances about a young girl living in someone else's house. House of the Sun is much longer and a mature though.

If you liked Bastard, you will probably love Chi No Wadachi because Chi No Wadachi focuses on the concept of the devouring mother in philosophy. In Bastard, the father puts pressure. In Chi No Wadachi, the mother tries to dominate and manage her child. Chi No Wadachi uses sexuality as a metaphor. Sexuality in Bastard Although not many, you will see that Chi no Wadachi and its mangaka often resort to sexuality in their works.

- parodies of their respective genres - random cartoonish humor - stupid <3

- MC tries to avoid as many BL situations as possible - all the side characters are goofy

Both series feature main characters who like to be in their own world or do things their own way. The second MC observes it and learns a lot from it. Character relationships feel wholesome so feel free to give these series a try if you like slice of life series with interesting main characters.

Both series showcase age gap differences and relationships between older female and younger male. Mainly from female perspective. However, the age gap in Watashi no Shounen is a lot bigger than in Kimi ga Loafer. If you have read one give a try to the other one.

Gag comedies that mix ninjas with a modernized setting, using this to create absurd situations.

Lot's of SA and family issues that result in erra tic behavior.

Vampire yuri with surprisingly solid storytelling and art for schoolgirl comedies. Both manga feel grounded in their worlds and have balanced casts of characters, making them engaging for the reader.

If you liked Jujutsu Kaisen, this is an unpopular manga that's very similar to jujustu Kaisen. (+ The author doesn't do us dirty like Gege lmao) The story is about an organisation that hunts beasts called Maga. In this world, peope who die can come back as evil spirits called Maga with powers that are tied to the persons cause of death. Since these beasts eat humans they need to be terminated. Gokurakugai tells the story of Alma and Tao-san daily life. This adorable duo is simply to die for and the humor and vibe this manga conveys is very similar to pre-Shibuya Arc Jujutsu Kaisen. There are a lot of lovable characters with great potential and so far I love where the story is going. The story starts of relatively light within the first feew chapters which introduces and makes you wanna squeeze all the characters. However, it gets really deep into semi-disturbing/dark back stories of some of the characters so far. So if laughing about everything is your coping mechanism and you like dark stories with a lighthearted touch this is THE manga for you.

Romance manhwa between asocial writer and woman that lives in the same apartment complex. While Unlucky mansion is slice of life set in reality, unTouchable has supernatural element since the main girl is vampire.

Comedic slice of life about the chaotic shenanigans of the main characters.

While the premises are quite different, both stories centered around the inseparable, unconditional, and undying love of a husband and wife. Both title also manage to deliver emotional moments perfectly so much so that it can be felt in almost if not every single chapter.

Both are new shounen titles with a morally grey mc and gorgeous art

Both are new shounen titles with a morally grey mc and gorgeous art

Both manga are coming of age yuri that deal with the desires of romance and sexuality and how to address them and confess them to an special other.

A short read but has the same author and he definitely captivates the same art style AND writing style from chainsaw man. If you enjoyed it I recommend it and it will surely enough have your mind boggling in the end.

Similar Artstyle, insane detailed backgrounds which makes it 100% unique

Both series deal with a similar subject matter of the after effects of WWII on Japan in differing way but reach a similar perspective through their characters.

Make by same author and the mc has similar personality also the fect that he hates the goddess like FFF-Class trashero.

Both series have food as their main topic and both series are very comforting to read.

Both series make use of timeloops in similair ways.

Both are philosophical in their own right with social commentary on different sub topics, meanwhile they are different in terms of plot, the stylistic choice and the whole edo period setting has some similarities.

In both stories a woman is reincarnated into a side character in a story they've previously read. Also both male love interests are Wizards, Masters of the tower, and are considered scary.

FL working to climb the ranks in the idol industry. Read it if you like the audition arcs in Skip beat. It focuses on romance less.

- energetic young guy x chill dry humor megane older guy professional - young guy helps old guy out in some way(Kazumi with Kijima's books, Ishida by eating a ton of Mitsuya's food LMFAO) - young guy wild imagination go brrr - old guy love insecurity go brrr - ANGST. ANGST EVERYWHERE.

Both parodies genre conventions, and cliches, though from different points of view.

The two stories are similar because they are connected. Both series are produced by the same author, Kim Carnby, whose content often features dark themes like horror, tragedy, and psychological drama. Both series involve characters facing crises where they must survive against monstrous creatures. Additionally, both highlight the psychological struggles of their characters, emphasizing mental and emotional battles alongside physical survival. If you haven't started reading either, I recommend beginning with "Shotgun Boy," as it serves as a prequel to "Sweet Home," providing backstory and additional context to the events and world of "Sweet Home."

Both series feature protagonists in RPG-like worlds with leveling systems, quests, and dungeon crawling. Both protagonists progressively become stronger with each chapter. Additionally, both series highlight intriguing action panels, character growth, and numerous challenges for the protagonists. Despite their similarities, "Solo Leveling" focuses more on the protagonist's solo journey, whereas "I'm a Max Level Newbie" emphasizes strategic gameplay in real-life situations.

Both are seinen mangas with appeasing art, supernatural elements, immortal characters and adventures.

Both stories are about a child learning about the world (both have superb worldbuilding) and both contain magic.

both have similar premises. ruri dragon is more on the light hearted side tho

Similar vibe - grotesque, artstyle, modern world with fantasy setting

Wholesome yuri goodness, both series feature almost the same setting (girl doesn't get into the school she wanted to) and both have downtrodden deuteragonist who gets cheered up/helped by the protagonist.

Both series feature a main character that is stuck in a perpetually repeating time loop and try their best to discover a way to break free from the system. Both series are different in story elements, premise and character personalities but have the same intense feeling of loss and unpredictability.

Akatsuki no Yona and Basara share several similarities, especially in terms of themes, characters, and storylines. These similarities make both manga appealing to readers who enjoy epic journeys, character growth, and struggles against injustice. Here is a (not so) brief overview about these two manga titles: 1. Theme and Setting Both are set in historical fantasy worlds reminiscent of feudal periods, where kingdoms and politics play significant roles in the storyline. Both stories highlight themes of struggle, rebellion, and the journey of the main characters in their efforts to restore peace and justice to their homeland. 2. World-Building Both have rich and detailed world-building, with various cultures, tribes, and diverse backgrounds that add depth to the story. 3. Tough Female Protagonist Akatsuki no Yona features Yona, a princess forced to flee her palace after a coup d'état and embarks on a journey to resque her kingdom with the help of her friends. Meanwhile Basara features Sarasa, a young girl who must disguise herself as her slain twin brother to lead a rebellion against a tyrannical ruler. Both manga also feature numerous battle scenes and strategic conflicts, where the main characters must use their intelligence and bravery to overcome powerful enemies and difficult situations. 4. Character Development and Growth Both manga depict the long journey of the main characters, where they meet various people, face numerous obstacles, and grow become even stronger and wiser leaders. Sarasa and Yona start as naive young girls, but through their journeys, they learn about bravery, strategy, and how to lead their people. 5. Romantic Elements Both features a slow burn romance that develops gradually throughout story and building tension. Akatsuki no Yona has subtle romantic elements, especially between Yona and Hak, as well as dynamics with other characters. Meanwhile Basara has strong romantic elements between Sarasa and Shuri, who initially are enemies but grow to understand and love each other.

For those who are seeking complex and supernatural stories then the story of Empty Box and Zeroth Maria is for you.

Isekai manga wherein a medical professional performs miracles to the inhabitants of said fantasy world by using science: surgery, chemistry, biology, toxicology, anatomy and more. To be helpful to everyone regardless of their position, race or age, the MC does not discriminate whom to treat. *Medically accurate information is shown in both manga.

Compelling "slow burn" romances with a strong friendship-to-lover dynamic.

These two series taught me to appreciate love quadrangle drama and the messy interplay of friendship, love, and hurt it entails. Love triangles are compelling and suspenseful with no obvious winner at the start, forcing characters to carefully sift through their feelings to reach a solution.

Fantasy shoujo romance (Soredemo is high fantasy, Kamisama is set in modern times) in which the FL is suddenly elevated to a role that puts them directly in contact with the ML (Tomoe is Nanami's familiar, Livi is Nike's husband). Over time, the FL opens the ML's darkened heart through compassion and willpower. Rival love interests desire and even capture the FL for her powers, but it's her heart that truly wins them over.

Both titles are about overcoming unrequited love. FL's first love ends in disaster, which leads them to consider ML as a love interest. Yamada (the character) is initially cold and softens over time, while Chigira (the character) is affectionate throughout.

Kaguya-sama's rich FL x hardworking ML compares to Last Game's rich ML x hardworking FL, though both Kaguya and Shirogane are more similar to Yanagi than Kujou. Rivals to lovers. Like Yanagi's "last game" to Kujou, the objective of Kaguya's and Shirogane's "war" is to make the other person fall in love. A tagline for one chapter of Last Game may have inspired one of Kaguya-sama's early arcs.

The main similarity between these manga i found was the friendship between the main girl and guy. In both series, the guy takes care of the girl in a parent like way and the girl is a bit eccentric and very small. However, the series differ in the rest of the cast, the type of humour and even the personalities of the main characters. Nonetheless, both of these series follow a group of friends in high school with a comedic focus, with some romantic elements sprinkeld in. Therefore, if you liked one i could probably recommend you the other.

Both are stories where a character must hide their secret of being able to turn into a canine from the person they like, while trying to fix the problems its causing!

Similarities: - both have smart, strong and badass fl characters  - both have crazy, cunning, unhinged and mysterious ml who is in love with the fl - both initially want to kill each other (olgami more literally, rwtgi more metaphorically) - the chemistry between the fl and ml is slow burn and so angsty but they are literally made for each other  - storyline 10/10 (although rwtgi is ongoing TT) -modern day setting Differences: - olgami is a vampire story but rwtgi is based around yakuzas (lol can't think of anything else) Highly highly recommend reading both. They have a really good storyline that leave you wanting more. The fl and ml character designs are hot and romance is toxic but works for them. They keep going back to each other.

Both have strong FL ! Mellissa and Roxana both try their best to ensure their survival. Really good art in both the manhwas. ^^

Both stories have a strong FL and a cute ML. Though, Beware the Villainess is a historical setting and My Cute Beast is mordern setting, I eenjoyed reading them both. ^^

Both series are made by the same author and because of this they have very similair storytelling.

The stories are both about doctors who find themselves in an alternate world without medical knowledge and change the world through introducing surgery and other medical procedures.

Both stories are about surgeons in the real world that get reincarnated into a different world without any medical knowledge (one being a fantasy while the other taking place in the murim).

Pure fluff slice of life- despite the scary looking guys and more than one misunderstanding. <3

If you enjoyed Fullmetal Alchemist then you might also like Pumpkin Scissors

I think these manga (along with xxxHolic and stuff like Pandora Hearts that began around the same time) have a lot of thematic similarities around things like grief and desire to change the past, particular kinds of fascinatingly self loathing characters, etc. that they handle in similar ways. TRC does not consistently have the 2000s Hot Topic gothic aesthetic sensibility that D.Gray-Man does, but it absolutely goes hard with it when it goes for it. Most crucially I think the Venn diagram of the kind of fans who like D.Gray-Man for its BL bait qualities (I'm not claiming intentionality on the part of the author here) and the people who love the kind of thing CLAMP has going on is basically a circle. This too is KuroFai.

Both of the fl's are reincarnated as a bird and can turn into a human! The ml in both manhwa's are stronger animals. (Wolf for The Crow's Prince and Lion for Bluebird Lady) Both of the manhwa's are mostly lighthearted as well imo.

Another heartbreaking exploration of youth, this time set in the 1960s with jazz as the theme.

100% similar pretty much. Nice guy meets powerful girl and the guy tries to help her to the best of his ability while they fall in love ❤️❤️ One of my absolute favorite mangas!

Class Saiyasune de Urareta Ore wa, Jitsu wa Saikyou Parameter is basically Isekai - Break Blade. Almost same exact premise, protagonist survive by driving a hunk of monstrous metal in a world torn by politics, war and intrigues. Did I also mention love? It scratches the same niche, just not as well executed and thoughtful.

Has the same baseline similarity of a JSDF soldier in a fantasy world.

Two yuri stories that have supernatural elements + take place at a boarding school for a certain group of people.

Turn physical weakness and disadvantages into strength by using great fighting technique, agility and resourcefulness. Harmony with their body is notable, given their movement and swiftness.

Manga about a divine child being born into a grand prophecy about the Earth’s destiny. Very grandiose stories about fate and magic drawn with CLAMP’s intricate and wispy art style. They are both based on ancient mythologies, but X takes more inspiration from Shintoism while RG Veda is more about Buddhism and Hinduism.

Comedy manga about humans interacting with a type of anthropomorphic people who have integrated into society. They are similar to edutainment as they include a lot of facts about real-life animal species that manifest as character traits. The difference is Moriking is about insects and Anko-san is about deep-sea fish.

Both manga are about the peculiarities of life with a person that has autism, and offer some interesting dramatical plotlines.

Same Author, good story, gore-heavy and great art.

Great Story paired with philosophical themes.

Both explore a gender bender genre and have historical-fantasy scenery

Both series are set in an "island"/ "paradise" outside of the normal inhabited world. The characters are split into different groups and encounter weird non human creatures.

Both stories may be a bit different but are similar in the sense that the protagonists are overpowered and their actions lead to others worshipping them despite them being oblivious to what's going on and how they are not normal at all. Although not on MAL, a similar story is "I'm not the Evil God's Lackey."

Post apocalyptic slightly mundane slice of life where the mc wanders the land female mc throughout the course of the series, there are only 4 alive people (so far) However, usuzumi no hate is more concrete, more down to earth as the mc has a solid goal, while girls last tour is just straight on wandering

Yohaji and Saiki K shares a large cast of similar comedic characters and vibes.Both have LGBT+ characters though Yohaji actually address some issues regarding LGBT+ than Saiki K.Nendou is a lot like Hijita with being the butt of the joke.Abe has a love for sailor uniforms as Saiki has a obsession for coffee jelly.

Although totally different, JJK is action and Yohaji is a comedy. The curses can be akin to the youkai. Geto and Gojo's relationship and past is similar to Ranmaru and Principal.Gojo and Principal are both senseis and covers their faces for a reason.They both deal with emotional storytelling that is sure to make you cry!

Fukigen and Yohaji both deals with youkai,both each have two main male characters.Ashiya is a lot like Abe, Abeno is a lot like Sano, and they share a crossover together!

The main characters Abe and Hanako both are identical twins.The story is located in a school setting,had deal with time travel one point in the story,runs in the same magazine (Monthly G Fantasy) ,interspecies romance,deals with supernatural issues and they had a crossover together!

Although the dynamics are different, it's just as high quality as Bloom Into You. No fan service, just a wholesome Yuri romance where both characters face their own personal demons throughout with poignant themes and no useless filler. This manga is still on-going, but it's one worth following.

Both stories feature 2 abused young women and them dealing with their lesbian situationships and murder.

Both are stories with a Victorian Era aesthetic, though neither take place in our version of Earth. Additionally, both stories feature a young, intelligent girl and her male companion who has superhuman strength.

Both of these series are short one volume long stories about just some guy walking around streets and reminiscing about various things. They are very comparable in that sense, so i would say if you want more of one you can get it in the other.

Yami Yugi's penalty games are similar to the illusions inflicted by Funouhan's assassin protagonist.

Both are incredibly depressing series that throw their MC through hell while exploring ideas of of how romantic relationships can be manipulating and toxic and how to hopefully (or hopelessly) overcome said relationships. Both are also incredibly shocking, gorey, and completely unpredictable, and almost cinematic in how they go about their stories.

MC was a very strong martial artist in the past, but has not fallen back to his old ruthless and violent self. This mainly due to his newfound desire to surround himself with people who have nowhere to go, or express their wish to join him. The family made up of many different individuals with diverse roots are close to each other.

The world building are both well made with their own rule that they respect

More of the 'girl teases guy' theme, but the girl is more on the boisterous side rather than cunning (Takagi-san). Both extremely wholesome.

Follows a similar style i.e. 'feckless, unremarkable guy (MC) gets teased by a boisterous female classmate, with romantic undertones'.

Both are childcare manhwas with a father and young daughter. They are both very, very heartwarming, and have a similar artstyle. :)

There is a focus on growing up with our passions and vocations, while our lives continue in other relevant forms that aren't alienated from our goals and vocations.

Both carry the same theme of grief or loss of loved one, save for the supernatural theme. However, My Broken Mariko deals with the topic in a more mature manner.

In both Mangas, the Male Lead did something bad to the Female Lead (upskirt photo in Tsumi and train groping in Ibitsu) then they are blackmailed by the FL to continue their relationship. There are multiple people that try to break apart the main couple by blackmailing them with photos or videos of the femdom done in public. Ibitsu is much darker and depraved than Tsumi to Kai

Both manga feature two faction of students who hate/despise one another and the main couple have to conceal their relation ship from this "faction". Both the male protagonists undergo significant character development through out the story. Additionally both the manga feature a supporting cast who are very well involved in the story. In conclusion , Both of these mangas were a pleasant read.

Both very good drama romance that has similar character relationships. Kimi no Iru Machi does not have incest and is in my top 3 manga ever.

Similar. Aka a good romance story that has similar aspects. Not necessarily same plot but I personally liked both even though I have a tough judge for romance.

Both are stories of growth and reaching adulthood where the protagonists suffer, suffer and suffer the different aspects of adult life to which they will integrate, such as interpersonal relationships, their sexuality, suicidal thoughts, the repercussion of past traumas, their future and its place in society. Both are ultimately stories of self-improvement seen through fairly realistic lenses.
