Papa to Kiss in the Dark

If you liked Papa to Kiss in the Dark you will mostly like Gravitation because both are shounen-ai. Also you will like it because even though both have very different story lines, Gravitation also is sweet and funny (at points). They both lead you along twists and turns, as well.

While Gravitation is less explicit than Papa to Kiss in the Dark, it still has the same seme-uke feel of PPtKD. BOth are great yaoi anime too.

Light hearted shounen-ai that relies heavily on exploring the seme/uke dynamics, plenty of comedy and colourful character designs: such is the recipe for these two series. Gravitation is more glamorous and eventually strikes a serious note amidst the wacky comedy, while Papa is rather explicit - made more so by the incest theme that makes up the plot. Reminiscent characters and an overdose of bishounen further confirm the connection between these titles.

The mood in both Papa to Kiss in the Dark and Gravitation is very similar, whether the mood comes from the funny dialogue or emotional aspects. Gravitation is less serious and focuses on the characters, as the plot is more complex and offers more opportunities for humour.

Papa and Gravitation have the same theme, the same way the characters are built up, and after watching them you get a feeling like something is wrong. Even though Papa only has two episodes, you'll find the same kind of complicated story as Gravitation: there's a little boy, an important person, and a lot of weird things happening.

Papa to Kiss in the Dark and Gravitation both revolve around gay love. Though both are somewhat perverted in their own way (especially papa to kiss) the whole situation and set up is just what makes it so good. If you liked one you will like the other. For people who are very open to almost any kind of animes practically or for people or set on gay-love, romance, etc, then these two animes are the ones for you!

Shounen-ai edging on shota territory: in broad terms Loveless and Papa fit the description. Loveless steers away from the considerably more graphic nature of Papa; the former being much more appealing in terms of plot than the latter's raunchy take on boys' love. Even though the storylines differ extensively - Loveless is very serious and dramatic while Papa's approach is primarily comedic - the overt shounen-ai content establishes a connection between these titles apart from the bright character design.

Papa to Kiss in the Dark and Loveless are very similar in the way that they deal with the uke's doubts and worries about a possible rival. Loveless is much more developed from the story part than the other one, though.

Both animes are shounen-ai and involve a young boy and a older partner. Though Papa to Kiss has a lighter storyline, the drama in both should appeal to the same audience.

If inappropriate sex and stereotypical shounen-ai relationships are your thing, you'd enjoy both Junjou Romantica and Papa to Kiss in the Dark. The characters (one whiny, weak, insecure character and the overbearing other man) are recognizable to a T - you won't find anything groundbreaking here.

Both are also more graphic than the usual shounen-ai anime.

The both series are filled with the worries and insecurity of the uke characters. Whether they are really loved or are just being played with is the main and most important question. The answer is easy to tell and after quite alot of hardships the ending is clear. In both Junjo Romantica and Papa to Kiss in the Dark the characters (no matter what happens) always end up together, so it's the same old happy ending. But I guess it's better off this way!
