Ao Haru Ride

Strobe Edge addpermalink

Strobe edge and Ao Haru Ride are manga from the similar author, io-sensei. Both story is about the struggles of a teenager falling in love with the popular guy in school. Both mangas have characters with unique and strong personalities which are lovable to love and to hate. The storyline might sounds cliche but io-sensei is really the master in depicting these type of stories. The sweet moments make you happy, the sad moments make you cry. It is really amazing how the characters grows in both manga. Definitely worth reading.

They both share the same author, Sakisaka Io. High school, love triangles, great supporting cast; pretty much the exact same thing but in different flavors. For Strobe Edge, you have a girl who is hopelessly in love with the popular guy. In Ao Haru Ride, you have a girl who's trying to rekindle an old romance. They both have generic storylines but ultimately set themselves apart through top notch artwork and storytelling.

The same author - Sakisaka Io. I think it explains everything. The atmosphere is very similar and some characters have similar personalities. Even main male characters looks  almost identical. Plus both series are interesting school romances with a little good comedy.

Both manga series are first of all, written by the same author, Io Sakisaka. As such, there is the theme of romance present as one of the major drives in both series.

Both series' main female protagonist falls for one of the main male protagonist in the series but the main male protagonist has a hard time dealing with it.

Both series has a lighthearted atmosphere with no ecchi but rather complied with drama, misunderstandings, and love triangles.

Both series also takes place at school setting and deals with complicated relationships.

First and foremost, both are written by the same author, Io Sakisaka. If you have watched Strobe Edge and wanted some more of it, you should definitely give Ao Haru Ride a try.

Both deals with the main female lead finding herself experiencing love at the first time. While both male leads projects a quiet, mysterious and gentle image. Love triangles are also present in both mangas.

Both are high school romances where the main protagonist is stuck in a love triangle between one guy who she loves but can't quite have and another guy who she doesn't notice until he confesses, and both love interests are so damn likable that you can't help but root for both of them.

If you're looking for some lighthearted romance, Hirunaka no Ryuusei and Ao Haru Ride should definitely be a consideration. Both series involves the awkward meeting of the main girl and guy. Their relationship stands out as awkward as neither are similar. But throughout the course of the series, they begin to know and understand each other. While Ao Haru Ride lacks the subtext of teacher/student relationships, there is a character in that series who has a crush on their teacher. Both series also focuses a bit on the circumstances at school whether it'd be thinking about the future, forming relationships, and tackling against difficult obstacles.

"It's almost as if Murao got her own spin off in Hirunaka no Ryuusei." Pretty much this. Suzume's design and personality are very similar to Murao and so is Shishio to Tanaka-sensei. 

Both manga are love triangles set in a high school setting. Both protagonists are beautiful and unique and are very different from the normal shoujo female lead. They learn how to love and grow as characters while making friends and experiencing heartbreak.

Both Ao Haru Ride and Hirunaka no Ryuusei have a very similar plot in which the main character is involved in a love triangle. At first, there is mutual feelings between the main girl and the current main guy she is with, but due to circumstances, the main guy had to leave her which leaves the main girl heartbroken and in confusion. Along the way, she would encounter new relationships whether its friendship, rivalry, or love. After spending time together with the second main guy, he would confess to the main girl leaving her with feelings of uncertainty. Throughout the series, it would leave the readers unable to decide who to root for to be with the main girl due to both of the guys having their own good points. read more

If you are one of those people who love a love-triangle type of romance story, then these two are perfect for you. Both main characters in these manga are stock with two guys (the one guy she truly loves but she can’t be with him and the other guy who is always there for her and patiently waiting that in soon time, will also be loved by her like the first).

Both manga also have the student-teacher relationship though it is not the focus in Ao Haru Ride unlike in Hirunaka no Ryuusei.

But one thing is for sure, both of these are enjoyable to read and you will find yourself wondering as to whom the girl will end up to. (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ read more

If you like high school romance stories then you should try reading this.

It's a story about a country girl who moved to Tokyo and fell in love with her teacher. However, due to some interesting twist of events, she became the love interest of the first friend she ever made in school.

It clearly depicts the idea of true friendship and love as the characters try to evaluate themselves and the situation they're in. And in the process, it also shows how love heals and mends a broken heart, as well as moving on. 

reportRecommended by akirajasmine

As with similar school elements and conventional romance tactics applied in shoujo, Daytime Shooting Star and Aoharaido both give their best in pulling heartstrings with certain chapters. Both manage to make it to a great climax somewhere within the middle, but have ended up falling short, unable to surpass its highest points in the later chapters.

This is more of a warning that when you start reading either of this manga, you will not get as much as a satisfying ending after experiencing the greatest moments in both. If you are willing to read it still, then have at it. It's still worth reading for your time. read more

They're both about a girl (who has her own complexities) trying to get through to a troubled, complex boy who isn't open about how he feels. They also deal with very similar friendship groups in which each cares about the others and does their best to help them through whatever troubles they might encounter. Most importantly though, both are beautifully told stories. That's in terms of artwork as well as general organisation. :)

There's a distinct similarity between the two main female characters from both of these manga that I find easy to notice. In essence, the main girl is trying to get the attention of a boy from their past. And from that past, there were insecurities that she wishes to change and regrets she hopes to change. The storyline of Orange has plot twists and revelations. I also find the artwork to be similar that matches the style of their settings. If you're looking for shoujo manga with complex developments, then give these series a try.

Be it a person who isn't there anymore (Orange), or a person who has changed drastically and only partly isn't there anymore (Ao Haru Ride) - they will definitely stir the emotions of their surroundings.
In these two worlds, romantic feelings are a heavy burden to be borne by the heroines. They will discover that it is difficult to recover physical and emotional damage which has already been dealt, trying to repair it in Orange, or to build something completely new in Ao Haru Ride.

Both are good cliche shoujo romantic drama stories. The simplistic and sincere art and storytelling distinguish them from others in way that the emotions slowly but deeply seeps into the heart.

The story is the same in the sense that both characters are in mutual love, but  circumstances of the guy pull them apart. Specifically, the death of someone that makes the guy 1.) broken - blaming their self, unable to trust and love again 2.) sympathetic of others (girl-potential hindrance) who share the same experience, feeling responsibility, unable to leave them.
And all this while, the girl is left confused and hurting - so another guy comforts her.

Relationships change, break, or are made. And sometimes, people don't accept that. They will run away, actively hide away their feelings, or chase after the past.

Although the plot is quite different as Kinkyori is Teacher-Student relationship while Ao Haru Ride is between classmates/childhood classmate.

They are both strong, funny, dependable and outright straight forward. Uri reminds me of Futuba when they are embarrassed the expression they make are so similar and they shrink bodies and faces at times almost the same. They are both crybabies and with solid friends nearby supporting them. Of course there has to be the rival love from the past of the male lead's ex-girlfriends. Meanwhile, Sensei Haruka in Kinkyori looks like the older version of Kou in Ao Haru when he grows up! The hair style, fringe and body structure and the neck tie. Both lead male characters have some dark family past that's haunting them in their current love. In Sensei Haruka's case it was his father while in Kou's place it was his mother.

Both series' main male protagonist are similar with their cold and sarcastic personality. However, we do get see a bit of of their softer side especially through the relationship they develop with the main female character. Both series focuses on relationship dynamics that includes friendship, romance, and rivalries. There is also similarity between the main female protagonist in both series as they are cheerful and always eager to make new friends. Both series has lighthearted comedy although also contains drama as the story progresses.

Love triangles, Childhood sweethearts, drama and happiness... If that was what you liked about this manga, well that would be what you will find on the other one. Both will tell the story of a girl who once a again will meet with her childhood sweetheart for whom she still has some feelings. Also, if you liked how the main couple overcame their struggles, well, in both mangas the couple had pretty much the same problems and they dealt with them in a similar way.

Sora to Kimi to. addpermalink

A group of friends, school setting, slice of life elements, cute art, romance with some back story which affects the present, love triangle and similar feeling. Refreshing main females and cool type of main males. Though the male in Sora to Kimi to has a simpler and easy to get along with personality, unlike the one in Ao Haru Ride.

Motokare←Retry addpermalink

Both mangas have a similar premise. Two people, who once had feelings for each other in middle school, reunite in high school (AoHaruRide) or university (Motokare) after not seeing each other for years. Where would their reunion and past feelings lead to? Ao Haru Ride has more drama than Motokare. Motokare is mostly a light-hearted manga.
