Both are short BL dramas with an office setting. The MLs have contrasting personalities.

While still a virgin at 30, Adachi Kiyoshi gains a magical power – the ability to read other people's minds by touching them. At first, he’s overwhelmed by his new ability, and it’s not proving to be helpful to him. But that all changes when he accidentally touches Kurosawa Yuichi, whom he learns has romantic feelings for him.

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.

This work stars Akafuji Yuichiro, a popular and handsome actor, and Aoyagi Hajime, a former popular child actor who has the ability but is currently unremarkable. The story begins when they are chosen to play the double lead roles in the live-action adaptation of an extremely popular BL manga.

They start living together in order to prepare for the role and get publicity, but Akafuji has a curt attitude toward Aoyagi, and Aoyagi doesn't like Akafuji either.

However, there was a reason for his curt attitude. In reality, Akafuji was deeply in love with Aoyagi.

Akafuji tries his best to hide his feelings, and Aoyagi tries to get along with the other but mistakenly thinks that he hates him. The misunderstanding between the two leads to an unexpected slapstick comedy in this "Cohabitation Romantic Comedy".

The dramas have similar humor and a cute couple even though the guys in Boy Next Door are not together.

Both dramas involve inner feelings being made aware for other people. In the case of Satorare everyone can hear one guys thoughts from a close distance and in the case of Cherry Magic! 1 person can hear everyones thoughts by touching them.

These dramas have very different setting (thai university - UWMA; office - ChM) but give off overall similar vibe:

Both are BL dramas with shy main lead and confident/perfect love interest who cares a lot about him.
The romance both dramas portray is very soft and cute.
Both dramas have fantasy element (reincarnation - UWMA; mind reading - ChM) and cute side-couple.

No hobbies, no friends, no lover. There are a lot of things that Kouki doesn’t have. The story begins when Kouki, an apathetic convenience store worker who struggles to find meaning in his daily life, is stabbed by a random thug. In his dying moments, he sees a beautiful angel with pure white wings.

Thinking he was being taken to the afterlife, he is surprised to wake up and find himself fully recovered. When he returns home, he discovers the same angel from before is already there. After learning that the angel has no memories and cannot fly, he takes pity on him and decides to let him stay with him for a while…

Both of them are cute, light-hearted romances with an office setting where one of the main characters is a late bloomer.

While 30sai focuses more on the BL romance in an office setting, Shujin-ko has multiple mains with one storyline being a BL also. I recommend both because they both have a refreshing take on BL that I can't really elaborate well without spoiling haha (especially Shujin-ko)

Okay they left out the actual romance part in Guardian buuuut the love interest in this drama so far reminds me so much of Shen Wei that I need to recommend Guardian

Both stories are cute, light-hearted and heart-warming, include a secret crush and, for the most part, take place in an office where the main characters work together.

I'm not fully sure why, but I kept getting reminded of cherry magic the whole time I was watching this. I don't know how to describe it but they have very similar vibes.
- two main leads work together
- in an office setting
- a main plot besides plain romance
- acknowledgeable character development
- an overall fluffy feeling
- Both couples basically keep their romance a secret from work (at least marriage honey for beginning episodes)
