Yukari is a typical high school student on the fast track to attending a university, but her boring life leaves much to be desired; that is, until a motley crew of fashion design students ask her to model their new clothing line: Paradise Kiss! Now, Yukari must choose if she will reject the life her mother has laid out for her, and start making choices on her own for the first time. While taking her first steps into adulthood, Yukari also begins to realize that with freedom comes responsibility; a life in the fashion industry isn't an easy one, especially for someone unsure of her own intentions…

add recBoth series are products of Ai Yazawa. There are same characters e.g. Mikako Kouda, Tsutomu Yamaguchi, young Miwako, Arashi and Hiroyuki. Both are about fashion and Yagazaku school. Paradise Kiss and Gokinjo Monogatari are romance and comedy. Both anime are about love and friendship.
If you liked Gokinjo Monogatari YOU ARE GONNA LOVE PARADISE KISS! I strongly recomend to watch first of all Gokinjo Monogatari to get excited everytime that your characters from this story appear on Paradise Kiss. First of all, the plot of love and fashion are side by side as in Gokinjo, the second reason is the characters, you love more the characters after you watch their beginnings in Gokinjo!

add recThough both are tales by Ai Yazawa, Neighborhood Story and Tenshi Nanka ja Nai sync up far more than her other works. Unlike one of her more serious stories, these two have a lighthearted, mildly-comedic feel that helps to break up some of the angst and tension. If one of these was to your liking with unrequited and innocent love, try out the other.
