Uchuu Kyoudai

Both are  ealistic stories about fulfilling your dreams. In both cases there are some "tests" that the main characters have to pass and the hardships that occurs that motivates you to start doing something yourself and not to give up. What is more both mangas present high educational value about the field it concerns (Manga-magazine in case of Bakuman and Space-industry in Uchuu Kyoudai). The only thing is that Uchuu Kyoudai is more powerfull. If you liked Bakuman you will certainly love the other one.

Futatsu no Spica addpermalink

Futatsu no Spica, which opens in 2024, and Uchuu Kyoudai, which opens in 2025, provide two different futures of Japan's space program. One portrays the journey toward space as something that has had setbacks because of tragic events, while the other portrays it as the culmination of continuous advances.

However, both also portray space travel as a dream that can come true in spite of the challenges that the characters face. Both works are also heartwarming in their characterization and in their message: that one can become stronger to overcome the past and move toward the future.

Gin no Saji addpermalink

Uchuu Kyoudai (Space Brothers) and Gin no Saji (Silver Spoon) are excellent examples of a coming age story following characters and their dreams. The main male protagonist from both series discovers their potentials with what they want to be and throughout both series, their stories highlights their journey. Both series have great writing when it comes to character relationships that explores a variety of themes. They also hold a strong deal of realism that can be relatable in many ways for other readers.

Real addpermalink

Real and Uchuu Kyoudai are very similar is the regard that they're both about people trying following their dreams. If you've read either one then you're probably familiar with a feeling of satisfactory motivation you get that often leaves a stupid grin on your face when the characters do something clever or accomplish what they set about to do. Neither are shy about throwing emotional moments at your either and both are just absolutely inspiring and powerful. If you've read and enjoyed Real or Uchuu Kyoudai and have not read the other then I highly recommend you do so. It'll quench that thirst for 'more' the other left you with (only temporarily of course).  read more

Uchuu Kyoudai and Beck are similar in terms of goals and dreams, The other one is someone aiming to be an astronaut ( he gave up on his dream ) and the other one is someone who doesn't know what to do in the future ( confused in who he wanted to become. Both are talented MC's with an aura to strengthen the people behind them.

Manga: Shiori Experience: Jimi na Watashi to Hen na Ojisan

Shiori Experience: Jimi na Watashi to Hen na Ojisan addpermalink

"It's never too late to chase your dreams"
Both of these stories encompass this very theme, despite looking and feeling vastly different from each other. Both are also enjoyable, feel-good seinen mangas with just a teeny-bit of romance sprinkled through out the story. Though Space Brothers is more grounded in reality, while Shiori Experience is more supernatural and wacky in nature;   these two give off the same vibes. 

If you like to read to get inspired, then I highly implore you to read Shiori Experience as well.

Shiori Experience also has Kurt Cobain and Jimi Hendrix in it, so...

Very similar in terms of plot

-having to pass an exam before getting hired

-they got into their dream jobs very late

Has a general theme of "It's never too late" and I can totally see Hirata Hiroaki voicing Kafka

Area no Kishi addpermalink

Despite following very different story premises, Area no Kishi and Uchuu Kyoudai emphasizes on the idea of following a dream. The main protagonist from both series has a brother who is considered is held in high regards for their abilities. They wish to make a name for themselves and catch up to them someday in the hopes for earning other people's praise. Both series also focus a lot on character relationships as the main protagonist finds himself at times struggling with interpersonal conflicts. Known for their lighthearted atmosphere and realism, I recommend both series for anyone interested in a journey of dream pursuing.

RRR addpermalink

The plots are very different (RRR is about boxing), but it has similar themes of starting later in life and persevering despite the difficulties that can cause. Mutta and Rikitarou are also very similar as protagonists.

Piano no Mori addpermalink

Piano no Mori and Uchuu Kyoudai are inspirational stories about a main character who follows a dream and tries to make into a reality. Both series has a lot of characterization and a very focusing writing on their development. There is also a lot of relationship dynamics that can be relatable and realistic. Throughout this experience, we can see how much certain characters change and learn from their mistakes. There is also a great amount of focus on background stories with clever transitions and events that influences characters' goals. In general, recommended for anyone interested in a story of inspiration.

Planetes addpermalink

Despite being fictional works, both share a somewhat more realistic approach to the space genre. In Planetes, the author mixes elements of real life science with elements of science fiction to depict the life of a couple of space debris collectors. Uchuu Kyoudai shares a similar mentality by exaggerating elements of real life science to depict one's journey through an astronaut selection program and another's journey as an astronaut headed for space.

Hunter x Hunter addpermalink

The series both have a beginning arc that is incredibly similar. 
The tests the potential astronauts have to go through are incredibly similar to the tests of potential Hunters have to go through.
