There’s a very specific feel to Life: Senjou no Bokura, and it’s a very neutrally told story - by that I’m referring to a greyer tone. There’s very few shows I’d compare it with; but if you like the feel of Jack O’ Frost, you can find that again in Life: Senjou no Bokura and vice versa.
The plots are totally different and I’d also say don’t be quick to judge either by its synopsis - both are shows I’d dismiss looking at the synopsis but they carry themselves well if you give them a chance.

*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.

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.
