Manga: Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu
A boy discovers that the idol of the school is a secret otaku. He befriends her and helps her become more accepting of her otaku ways. The difference is the male MC in "Tonari" is more of an otaku, while the male in "Nogizaka" (so far) is limited to casual manga reading. Also, the female lead in "Nogizaka" is wealthy (complete with maids), while the female lead in "Tonari" seems to be of average income.

Manga: Senakagurashi
Completely different plots, however both are romance, the artwork is quite alike, and the characters' personalities are developed very similarly.

Manga: Wagatsuma-san wa Ore no Yome
Both male leads are kind of nerdy guys who aren't really accepted by society, while both lead girls are really popular but sort of quiet with hobbies no one else really knows about. Both are pretty much the exact same genres, except Wagatsuma-san can be borderline ecchi at times. Both are really enjoyable school romance mangas.

Manga: Seishun Forget!
They have similar MC, an average guy who desperately chasing his crush, a well-looked girl that's so popular at school and kinda smart (at least smarter than the MC). The difference is maybe how the romance story goes. Tonari no Kashiwagi-san is still ongoing so you may feel the development is slower than Seishun Forget that just 20 chapter long. More or less, yeah, if you like to see how a school idol is being chased by a desperate boy, i recommend these. PS: Tonari no Kashiwagi-san's MC is more desperate and more good-for-nothing

Manga: Watashi ni xx Shinasai!
Both heroine published their artwork online and looking for ideas based on the reality of their experience

Manga: Kenja no Mago
Completely different plots as one is based in a separate world after reincarnation, and the other just in modern day Japan, however, the artwork is very similar. Both female MCs have almost identical personalities, although their interests are different. The male MCs are very similar in how open they are/feel about their identities, yet the MC in Tonari no Kashiwagi-san has much lower self-esteem/confidence in himself, while the MC in Magi's Grandson is a genius with a severe lack of common sense.

Manga: Horimiya
The opening is very much like Horimiya yes, with the perfect girl (Hori/Kashiwagi) and the not-so-popular guy (Miyamura/Yuuto). Tonari no Kashiwagi-san features the 2 officially becoming a couple at a much later time than say Horimiya, but both do involve the 2 growing to become more familiar with one another.

Manga: I''s
Both MC's have one sided love to the main heroine at first. The story was pretty cliche but executed smoothly/well however the story of Tonari no Kashiwagi-san is more light and MOE while I"s have a lot of conflicts going on.

Manga: Hadi Girl
Both female main characters don't fully understand their feelings and can't talk to other people very easily. Both male main characters express that they love the other (at least evident to the reader) early on. Both stories is the motion of the girls realising their feelings and trying to understand them. Would definitely recommend this as this was the manga I read to fill my craving for something similar in story. The main difference is that the majority of Hadi Girl is talk from a girl's perspective instead of a guy's like Tonari no Kashiwagi-san was.

Manga: Kengai Princess
The story of both series has a slow pace but lot of character growth. From the start, there's a growing chemistry between the main protagonists. The female protagonist is shy but also wants to experience new things in life including love. Their acquaintance with the male protagonist brings out a different side of them as well. Both series has lighthearted comedy and there's evident romance that's explored as the story progresses.

Manga: Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata
Both series are known for their otaku gags. While they don't share the exact premises, they do have a foundation on some similar themes. There is also relationship building - some in romantic nature while others are more platonic. Recommended for fans of romantic comedy.

Manga: Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai
Both are about girls trying to hide they are otakus.

Manga: Omae wo Otaku ni Shiteyaru kara, Ore wo Riajuu ni Shitekure!
Both stories feature a main character who is a closet otaku. Said characters actively try to keep this fact about themselves secret, while dealing with the fact that at least two people close to them know, or will discover this closely guarded secret. Both are also school life stories that have romantic subplots.

Manga: Naisho no Mangaka Tonari no Yutori-san
In both of these serialisations, the male protagonist discovers that one of his classmates is an author/artist and becomes more interested in her.

Manga: Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai
These mangas both have a main characters that is in love in the 2D world, but through some sort of complication they begin to interact with 3D women. In the manga World God Only Knows it's because of a demon contract that Keima is forced to make women fall in love with him, but in Tonari no Kashiwagi-san one of the main characters, Yuuto, learns of a secret that Kotone had been keeping to herself, thus beginning the rocky relationship between the two. I highly recommend the World God Only Knows to anyone who's reading Tonari no Kashiwagi-san since they both give off the same feeling and  read more

Manga: Lucky☆Star
Both are easy to read, have "moe" art and an otaku main characters. Tonari no Kashiwagi-san has more drama and plot, but the comedy scenes have a similar feel to Lucky Star.

Manga: Kono Bijutsubu ni wa Mondai ga Aru!
Both series takes place in a school life setting with a lighthearted environment. The main characters are interested in perfecting art and makes various works with their ideas. Both series connects characters through relationships that includes both friendship and innocent romance. Their pacing is considered slow but still charming when it comes to storytelling.

Manga: Bocchi na Bokura no Renai Jijou
I find the art style somewhat similar between these 2 titles. Also the pacing is similar. In these 2 titles you will not see the female protagonist throwing herself at the male protagonist for no god damn reason. Both characters take time to get to know each other, in both titles. Both titles have an essence of realism when it comes to relationships. It's gradual intimacy. Plus, if constant appearances of new love interests gets on your nerves, you won't have to worry about that here. The plot is straight in the sense that the overall main focus is always between the 2 main characters, for both  read more
