Yamabuki High School attracts many art students due to its special art classes. Among the school's new pupils is Yuno, who dreams of becoming a famous artist. She lives in the nearby apartment complex Hidamari-so, along with the hyperactive classmate Miyako, the weight-obsessed Hiro and the tomboyish Sae. Together, the students live their day to day lives, including investigating the school's bizarre myths and deal with their cosplaying teacher. But whether they are in school, at the apartment or out shopping, working or playing, the four friends always manage to have fun in the process!
Hidamari Sketch is cut from the same cloth as K-On!. These two manga share the same tone, approach to their ostensible subject material (Hidamari is as much about art as K-On! is about music), and an occasional character (just like Sawa-chan-sensei, Hidamari's featured homeroom teacher, Yoshinoya has a penchant for cosplay and is a total flake). While the girls at Yamabuki are slightly more functional than the Sakura High Light Music club, they are just as silly. If you giggled through K-On!, Hidamari Sketch will surely get some laughs out of you.

Join these four girls as they muse and meander their way through everyday events such as eating chocolate cones, doing homework, gaming, and trips to the beach galore.
Lucky Star is one of the animes where real life situations can be funny. Join the wacky adventures of these high-school girls! You'll be nodding your head saying "Ah~ I've been through this"

Ayumi, Kei, Koyoi, Rika and Nao are five middle school friends whose hot topic of conversation is, as always, love. Ayumi dreams of having a boy confess to her and can't understand the idea that receiving unwanted confessions can be troublesome. She even believes that she will happily accept any guy who approaches her - that is, until she receives a love letter from Misao, a large, delinquent high school boy whose very presence makes small children cry! Not wanting to date him but too scared to reject him, Ayumi has no idea what to do, especially when Misao, now nicknamed Beast-kun by the girls, begins following her to and from school. To make matters worse, Ayumi then falls for Mamoru, a boy in her class who is Beast-kun's brother! With plenty of experiences in life and love left ahead, will the girls retain their naive beliefs, or is it time to shake off that brother complex and realize that appearances aren't everything?
Both of these manga focus on young school girls and their day to day lives. While K-ON! focuses o the light music club and Hatsukoi focuses on the girl's love lives both share a similar comedy style that is generally more gentle than wacky.
