Bokura ga Ita

I'd recommend either Lovely Complex or Bokura ga Ita because both get their dynamic feel from the charismatic male protagonists. Nana and Yano's interactions are just as befuddling, frustrating, funny and gush-inducing as Risa and Otani's. Bokura ga Ita is far more tragic, but somehow, along the way, they give a similar sort of feeling.

If you feel a strange combination of humor, joy, and sadness whenever you reflect on your first dating experiences then you probably enjoyed this series. Lovely Complex has the same ability to remind you of what it felt like to go through the first excitement-filled stirring of love and the first terrifying uncertainties of dating. Enjoying this show will also somehow enable you to re-experience the freshness of youth and at the same time appreciate the inherent trials with a humor only age brings.

Watching Lovely Complex reminded me of Bokura ga Ita, mostly because of the style of facial expressions. Both series are all-around funny, and the romance is extremely heart-warming. The two anime deal with the drama that highschool love brings, and it'll be sure to bring you emotions of joy and sadness. Lovely Complex exposes much more humour and lets you think of the social norms when it comes to relationships.

Both Bokura ga Ita and Lovely Complex are true love stories. They each involve love problems with high school students, and are funny and so touching at the same time.

Both of these series deal with a more realistic relationship than most other anime. They have you on the edge of your seat the whole way through!

Both Bokura ga Ita and Lovely Complex are touching due to the depth of the characters and the fact that both deal with the first loves of high school students. They both make you laugh and cry.

For those who love romance anime, mostly girls I suppose, Lovely Complex and Bokura Ga Ita are excellent choices. Both anime talk about the difficulties of love, especially when you are at a young age. Through both anime one can realise how much effort it takes to express your feelings and how an in love teenager's determination can overcome any obstacle! I think that if you liked one of them, you'll love the other one as well!

Both Bokura ga Ita and Lovely Complex are fun and romantic stories, and they have the same warm feeling. Lovely Complex is more humouristic, but still there is the same love and friendship behind the story. Both anime are basic romantic comedies, and they have similarities in plot, characters and environment.

Bokura ga Ita and Lovely Complex are both romance-drama-shoujo anime, focusing on a pairing between the two main characters-- no reverse harems here. However, the relationships in either series are far from smooth, and the occasional third-party might wander in to present a roadblock, but little more than that.

Both shows approach the romance in a realistic way, more-so, even, in Bokura. The relationships are strained and difficult to maintain, at times, but both sides are trying, if only in their own ways.

The main difference between the two shows is that Lovely Complex is more upbeat and comedic, while Bokura ga Ita is more realistic and dramatic.

These animes have very similar art styles. While one is extreme dwarf-giant shojo comedy and the other light shojo comedy. The series both have moments that will pull at the heart strings of any romantic.

Lovely Complex is a very toching romance.It's plot is quite similar to Bokura ga ita's:both characters are classmates and they end up being togheter after going through many hardships,especially the girl.The main differences between the two anime are the fact that Lovely Complex is a romantic comedy and it has a happy ending so you will certainly like it.

What those two anime share, apart from love story, similarity in graphics and the creation of main characters. You can even mistake one for another.

Lovely Complex and Bokura ga Ita are very similar, but Lovely Complex have more comedy in it. They are both cute love stories without ecchi and that is what I think I like about these animes. If you liked Bokura ga Ita I'm sure you will like Lovely Complex too!

I started watching these two animes one after another because of the recomendations here on anime-planet, but now when I finished watching them both I really agree that they are alike. First, both couples are orange-haired ;) next, kinda strange that in both animes love developes already in first 5 series, next is just an understanding of the feelings; and also big climax in both animes is when another guy starts to like the main girl :)

Although Lovely Complex has the large amounts of humour in the series which drives the plotline of girl/boy romance, Bokura ga Ita tackles this from the more serious side.  However, the quality of plot is equally as good and although they have some differences, the series are similiar enough in feeling that will make watching either one easy, if you've seen the other.

If you enjoyed the frustrating heartbreak of one show as a couple struggle to get together, then you should definitely try the other. Playing on the difficulties of love during school days, experience the rollercoaster of adolescent romance as it climbs to a peak, only to painfully fall off the other side. Both are a must for fans of romance.

Both stories are centered around the high school life of young freshman girls and their complicated feelings and friendships.  Both Bokura ga Ita and His and Her Circumstances fall into the romance, comedy, and drama genres, so if you like one you'll like the other.

Both Bokura ga Ita and Kare Kano have love, romance, and relationships between high school students who also have to deal with their daily lives.

The responsibilities in the classes, clubs, etc. that the characters hold in these two anime give the viewer the idea that life still can progress even with all of those activities.

If you enjoy or enjoyed Kare Kano or Bokura ga Ita, you'd like the other without a doubt!

Both "Bokura ga Ita" and "His and Her Circumstances" are about a young couple struggling to make their relationship work due to troubling pasts. While "Bokura ga Ita" is a bit more 'dramatic' "His & Her circumstances" has more comical elements. What I really like about the two shows, however, is their pace; neither one of them are afraid to slow down and be thoughtful and quiet. If you've seen one I'm convinced you'd like the other :)

These anime's have basically the same plot. If you love one, you will love the other. They are both about a couple who are shy but love each other and the problems they run into in their relationship.

Both Kare Kano and Bokura Ga Ita are anime dealing with the romance life of teenagers. Kare Kano's main characters have a strong bind, love each other, however have to overcome obstacles and problems that most of the time are created by themselves. In Bokura Ga Ita, the difficulties that the couple, Yano and Nana, encounter, have to do with Yano's past. Both anime, very touching but also funny at times, show us how much one can and should fight for a relatinship! Both are similar but unique as well, so I'm sure that if you liked one, you will like the other one too!

These two stories are about maintaing a healthy relationship between boy and girl and dealing with difficulties connected with it.

Both series are concentrated on romance taking place in school, and are very subtle in progressing it.

In both cases main male hero is a "perfect person" from the outside, but is a bit more cynical and sometimes even violent as more of his character unfolds.

Again in both cases main female heroine is unsecure about her boyfriends feelings towards her, and about her own place in life.

Both shows have relations and identity as main themes. They are about first loves, identity problems, jealousy and how to deal with these things. They both have a good feeling of realism to them.

With a lot in common, both Bokura and Kare are excellent examples of the romance genre. Sadly, the buildup is what makes these shows enjoyable, as the ending just frustratingly tails away. If you enjoyed watching the adolescent romance of one, you're sure to enjoy the other.

The depth of the characters in both Bokura ga Ita and Nana can really help you to relate to them, and also enjoy their romantic sides.

Beyond having one too many characters named ‘Nana', both NANA and Bokura ga Ita are realistic romance dramas that don't need bizarre premises to create believable relationships. The female leads of both series are sympathetic and very real- they make some poor decisions, but not strained such that it feels like the writers just needed them to be momentarily stupid to progress the plot.

Character designs are some-what alike. Nanami (Bokura ga Ita) reminds me of Hatchi (Nana). Their faces are alike, and both of them are very sweet.

Both stories' main character name is Nana, who has a lot going on her mind at time - difficult relationship for instance. These anime follow young girls' life and more and more hard choices that they have to made while searching for their own happiness.

Tragic confused romance. If you liked that about either Nana or Bokura ga Ita and wanted more, then I suggest you try the next one. Bokura ga Ita takes a far more high-school approach, whereas Nana is more mature and complex, But for good ol' fashioned romantic drama that's packed with anguish and difficult choices, you can't go wrong with either.
