Both of these manga are about a character with knowledge of the future attempting to prevent another person from dying.

They both hold a strong message of being thoughtful of those around you since you never know who will be gone in the future. Both plots also involve changing the past to make the future different.

Goro, a gynecologist and a massive B-Komachi stan, finds his life turned upside down when his newest patient turns out to be B-Komachi member Ai-chan herself!

So under the cover of secrecy, Goro helps the young idol with her prenatal care... only to be attacked and killed the night she's due to give birth. Reincarnated as one of her newborn twins, Goro (now Aquamarine Hoshino) gets to spend 24 hours a day in the arms of his favourite idol!

While these manga aren't exactly identical, they contain many similar elements and give off the same vibe while reading. While in Erased the MC goes back to the past and in Oshi no Ko the MC reincarnates, both manga contain a return to being a child happening after a murder has taken place. Beyond this, a vital element to both series is the investigation of both MC's mother's murders. Most of all, both series seamlessly blend slice of life and Mystery/Tragedy elements in a way that keeps you on the edge of your seat while still being able to make you laugh and put a smile on your face.

While at first glance these don't seem the same at all, they have very similar vibes, paticullarly the vibes Iget from the MC.

Dealing with time travel and going back in time to prevent a certain death.

Boku dake ga Inai Machi is more serious & takes itself deep with philosophy meanwhile Ore ga Doutei o Sutetara Shinu Ken ni Tsuite has comedy elements in it and romance as well.

Time-travel, going back in time to change the future.

Again!! is more comedical and contains slight romance, whereas Boku dake ga Inai Machi takes itself more seriously and has thrilling atmosphere.

The premises of Erased and Tokyo Revengers are very similar. A man goes back in time to try and save a girl he knows from dying. The vibes and some of the characters are similar, but Erased is not about gangs. Also, Tokyo Revengers is much longer and (currently) ongoing, while Erased is shorter and is complete. Regardless, fans of one should check out the other.
