Ok so hear me out! How can a drama about a brown bear be similar to this rom-com? If you like to take a break and watch something that feels like drinking hot chocolate and forgetting about your own worries — both dramas are wonderful for this purpose. But the major reason I would recommend watching Higuma is if you really enjoyed the fluffy, puppy scenes with Jun! You will get even more with Higuma. Each episode is only 5 minutes long but believe me when I say that it feels like I'm watching a 90min long film. It's packed full of heartwarming, dramatic, happy and sad moments. You get basically everything with Higuma!
This drama is just so lovely and will brighten your day, every time you watch it. And both dramas have an idol actor. Shigeoka Daiki has such an expressive face and a lovely smile!

Both characters have no experience in love and are really complex. If you want highly relatable characters. Watch both of them. Oh, and they both love to give people around them nicknames lol

Both are coming-of-age stories and deal with first love and the journey of discovering yourself and your own desires. If you like shows which focus on friendship, this might be a good one. In Araburu Kisetsu no Otomedomo yo the characters are of course younger but I think it actually touches some really interesting topics in an unexpected way.
