Kare Kano begins with two characters who don't realize that they have fallen for each other. As the series develops, the characters learn, grow, and come to accept themselves (and each other) just as they are. The theme of character growth is similarly laid out in Kimi ni Todoke.
These two shows are both about a boy and girl in love - and how that affects those around them. The presentation is different, the characters are a little different, but both give off a warm fuzzy feeling - the feeling of 'ah, this is what young love is like'.
Kare Kano and Kimi ni Todoke are both romantic stories with situations delicately psycho-analized by the main characters.
Even if the two main females are very differents by personality, the girl will little by little face the importance and experience of her own precious first love in both series.
The love of the girl, as the love of the boy, are told and shown throughout both series in a real unique way.
Still, the main male and female character will be surrounded by awesome friends which will help them and will be affected by their situations.
There are many anime which face love stories out there, but noone of

You fall in love for both, altough Sawako and Yukino are very different: the first is very shy, the second wants to stand out in front of everyone, but it's de role of Kazehaya and Arima that really matters in the story. Just their presence create major changes in the girls lives.

Both are very pure and innocent love stories.
The atmosphere in Kimi ni todoke is only slightly deeper than the one in KareKano.
Both Anime have great and fitting music that underlines "the spring of youth" that is shown in both shows. Enjoy!

Both shows have a meaningful romance and lots of character growth and development.
Both main female characters gain friends, a very important theme in both series, and character growth is seen in the friends as well which is very rare.
Both are emotionally moving though in different ways. Kimi ni todoke is very cute, (with cute humor) and heart warming. Kare Kano has a more developed comedy style, and its story develops in interesting ways with more depth.

*OTHER WAY AROUND* MaL detects Kimi ni Todooke as recommended work no matter what order I pick cuz their website coding is fucking trash
Even to this to this day and age, "Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou" is imo the greatest adapted romance/drama, carried by 2 incredible studios they never fail to bore you with good pacing and characters are charismatic, they basically have relatable/likable personalities and aren't solely one-sided which is the biggest turn-off.
The show's initial premise is similar to Kimi ni Todoke with little to no exception, until you realize it can actually dive deep into sensitive topics and interesting psychological elements.
