I Cannot Reach You

I Cannot Reach You

The differences between Yamato and Kakeru couldn't be more obvious. Yamato gets good grades, while Kakeru's are less than average. And while Yamato is very attractive, Kakeru's looks are perfectly average. Not a problem—unless you're in love with your childhood best friend…How in the world can Kakeru make Yamato look at him when Yamato is completely out of his league?!

Both are school romances. It's pure shounen ai and they have good chemistry. One of them feels romantic feelings for the other. The other sees him as just a friend. They gradually start to figure out if they have the same attraction for each other. 

Shuuto Shuuto says...

the romance between the two main characters is well developped and not rushed like we can see in bottom tier BL

feathertail38 feathertail38 says...

both are soft and cute romance stories about a crush growing close and eventually confessing

Both of these manga contain nothing explicit so far, and their similar in how their side characters get development as well, in Yamete kudasai, Mabushi desu the side characters even get their own manga story. Only main difference is that the main pairing isn’t canon yet in Sasaki to Miyano, while in Yamete kudasai, Mabushi desu and it’s sequel, the pairings are confirmed.

Well, they’re both BL and are about school life, and I really liked them. If you’re not a Fujoshi, you might not like it all that much, but please feel free to give it a try. Really funny, and all the characters are so loveable!!!!!!!! ;) Absolutely recommend both mangas. 

P. S. Oh and I also like how they’re both, you know, “pure”, as in, no sexuality or anything cos I love those kinda mangas

Both have pretty similar school concept. All the characters are really good and the bond bw the main couple is quite wholesome and not too dramatic or anything.

Life goes on as normal with growing relationships, affection, and regular every day life comedy. 

I would recommend both series to each other if you enjoy the comedic tone of either one. A major difference would be the life setting of the two series. Both protagonist couples are in sempai-kouhai type relationships (one higher than the other). One series is set in adult co-worker life. The other is in high school life.

Lastly, Sasaki and Miyano has a more invested romance that goes farther than Online Game Nakama...does. Online Game Nakama...could have a nice sequel series :)

I kind of think that "Sasaki to Miyano" is in a league of its own but there are a lot of similarities between the two such as:

  • "pure BL" (actual romance/falling in love; no explicit content)
  • school life (crossdressing for a school festival)
  • senpai tries to get into the same hobby as the boy he likes
  • great friends/side characters
  • cute

Both stories have an mc with a manga hobby.  Ore no Aoharu wa Watsanai focuses on trying to live out a perfect shojo romance and sharing interests with friends. Sasaki to Miyano is definitely slower burn and a little bit sweeter. Both are funny and poke fun at otaku culture.

Glassblower45 Glassblower45 says...

Both Sasaki and Miyano and Shota Oni are titles whose characters have a close relationship (or incrementally close relationship) that is a friendship with desires to be more than friends. One friend in the relationship likes the other romantically. The other sees the other as just a friend--or in the case of Shota Oni, a cute kid neighbor. However, this other friend does reach changing points where they start to sort out their own feelings, to know if they do have or can grow romantic attraction to the other. 

Neither series crosses the lines of sexual relations, especially for the age gap in Shota Oni. Both are fun to read series for their shorter story comedic format with inclusions of more serious moments not written to be comedic moments. 

If you enjoy a slice-of-life-like comedy "boys life" comic of either title, then I would recommend checking the other out.

• The concept is very similar. Both ichinose and miyano likes mangas, they get confessed by another guy, the guy waits for their answer and they start dating.

• Overall, both mangas are very cute and wholesome. And all the characters are really nice.
