Both Leads remind me of the LEads in Usotoki Rhetoric.
Although UR is less focused on romance I feel like if you enjoy the dynamic between these two, you`ll enjoy UR as well!

-Similar FL (shy)
-Similar time period

- heartbreaking and epic
- super hot MC
- lots of trials and tribulations
- classic "Did you ever love me" - "No" scene
- again, very heart wrenching, both might take you a while to finish if you're like me

If you like a nice compelling, feel-good detective series, this is for you!
Similarities include:

- "Case of the week"-esque episodes
-really fun to guess along
- cool and non-chalant but quirky ML
Mystery to Iunakare does NOT have any romance so if you look for a detective romance this is not it.

- both have hidden identity
- great main couple
- similar comedy and both great at sentimental moments
- very good looking cast
- best friends that know about their condition

- both dramas have a FL that changes identity/her appearance
- very nice and healthy couple
- mutual support and great chemistry
- best friends that know about their condition

Both dramas have a main couple that deals with time loops. They have to find out how to end it and what is behind the loop. In Todome no Kiss the loop is, like in Reset, made by the Leads dying. Both have lots of suspense and are interesting to watch.

I feel that the chemistry and the characters are quite similar feeling:

-The male lead is a rich arrogant man (in an amusing way)
-The comedy is quite similar
-The female lead is quite optimistic and very capable
-The couple works well together and cherish each other in their own ways

The mother show of this spin-off. The side couple of Cherry Magic explores their story.

Both fantastic and heartfelt BL's. His is about two teenage lovers that broke up in college years and reunite in adulthood with completely different lives.
There is slice of life, there is pain of the past and there are lingering feelings. I feel like both dramas have a more mature side to it but still come across very soft with deeply rooted emotions.

If you're looking for another fluffy (or even fluffier) show, Love Is Sweet is what you want. Both shows have wonderful Main Couples, great Characters and are just wonderful to watch if you feel a little down or just to make you feel good. I love them both but I must admit that Love Is Sweet is more memorable of those two!

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.
