User Recommendations for His and Her Circumstances

Similar premise, setting and characters. Karekano focuses much more on the main couple, while Horimiya tries to flash out the supporting cast.

Kare Kano and Hiromiya are the only School romances That bother to flesh out the characters and having an actual romance, and not just fooling around for more than 20 episodes. Although still idealized, far more meaningful than any other of her type that I know.

the MCs have a personality that is different from what they show in school the influence of "his and her circumstances" on horimiya is quite obvious both have a really good romance

The initial plot is almost the same: both protagonists find the secret side of each other and start a lovely relationship. The humor and the supporting characters are also similar, so it's a great idea to watch both of them. Although, keep in mind KareKano gets more introspective and darker
