*SPOILERS*
Both follow the leads from high school to adulthood. They struggle with issues in their relationship, seperate, and then come back together. I will say, that if you watch 1 in 10,000, you should watch all three acts. The first and second act aren't very good, but I cried by the third act. Both are also queer shows, though 1 in 10,000 is intentionaly a romance that happens to be gay (between two women), and not a gay romance.

This is a short TV series, about two young boys falling in love in their teens and then breaks up when one of the boy start to feel the pressure of society and his parents who urge him to get married and have been. They breakup and the other boy get married.
Same like More then Words, boys breakup when one is worried about having normal life and family. So both series share same storyline but different outcome, however the essence of story is to accept the truth about you, accept your true self in order for to be truly happy.

Narasaki always wished he had a quiet space to study in, so it should be a blessing in disguise that he gets to help at the library reception desk. However, he was suddenly selected to supervise Terashima, a student with bad behavior who is famous on campus. At first, the two did not talk, but in the library, where only the sound of turning pages resonates, Narasaki gradually begins to take an interest in Terashima, who has a mysterious personality.
They aren't per-sé alike but what makes me connect these two is how wholesome the couples are.
Life Senjou is about two boys finding love in their young years and continuing to love each other in a society that doesn't accept them. The focus here lies more on the story of their lives and has a realistic approach, whereas 30sai made Dotei is definitely more comedic and light-hearted.
Nevertheless, I truly love both of these and they are my favourite Japanese BL's this year. If you enjoy a sweet romance, these are your home.

Pretty similar in the way both depict an established gay relationship which was born during the innocent high-school years, creating a strong bond between the male leaders. However, when they turn young adults and face new life phases, fears and insecurities come up.

I find both have a similar kind of ending and the same message of personal growth and its relation with relationships.
