Both are Japanese productions. I find if you like the Japanese style found in Cherry Magic you’ll also enjoy other Japanese stories. The characters in both end up working together and fall because of their interactions working together. Both are overall fluffy, while you get some (spoilers!) actual good kisses at the end of Restart After Come Back Home.

Both take place in the Japanese countryside, so very beautiful scenery and shots. They're very calming shows that unpack a lock of individual development. They also both deal with family themes.

Though they depict very different relationships (Restart being a slow, new romance and His being a complicated, "finding each other again" romance), the feeling of a heartwarming, beautiful love is strong in both.

If you enjoy the character dynamic and how they balance each other, would I call Restart After Come Back Home the feel-good older sibling of Eternal Yesterday.

Although the premise is different, both are extremely heartwarming and depict a healthy, non-toxic relationship between a cold, aloof male and a more outgoing, eccentric male.

Recommended by Grand Inquisitor
Both are similar in that one of the male leads leaves his office job due to workplace-abuse and learns to enjoy life a little more with the help of the free-spirited male lead.

To Each His Own focusses more on workplace abuse and handles serious topics such as suicide while Restart is light-hearted in comparison and focusses on the relationship between the male leads.

Both are exceptional and if you like one, you're likely to enjoy the other.

Although the setting, circumstances and the age of the characters are very different, I still found them similar because both have a really calm and peaceful vibe, and both are BLs as well. Both the drama and the movie are really beautiful and I would recommend both of them to any JBL fans.
