An ordinary senior high school girl named Mika meets Hiro, a showy boy with dyed hair and pierced ears. It is a “pure love” story of the two going through many unimaginably sad incidents while nurturing their love single-mindedly. It not only depicts the first love of the senior high school couple but also weaves “a story of Mika and Hiro” through episodes probably familiar to anybody, such as warmth and affection of their family members supporting the two, the importance of living, interactions with friends, and so on.

watching no call no life reminded me so much of koizora, not strictly plot wise but more broadly in terms of feels.. which seemed really similar

Both are touching but beautiful love stories and both makes you cry a river over them. Both are school romance, but as you can see in Koizora they are not the fun kind of romance, they include "heavy romance". Kou Kou Kyoushi was even heavier. In my opinion, Kou Kou Kyoushi was unforgettable and better than Koizora. So you should see it before you die.

A summer hit in HK, this romantic fantasy from Jingle Ma is shamelessly manipulative, incredibly cheesy, and totally sappy. It goes to extreme lengths to yank your chains and push your buttons...and it works. Amazingly, this manufactured piece of sap is also an entertaining, compelling movie. An HK version of Ghost and Always, Fly Me to Polaris stars Richie Ren as Onion, a blind-mute who’s in love with his nurse Autumn (Cecilia Cheung). Before any feelings can be exchanged, he dies in a Meet Joe Black kinda way and proceeds to win a celestial contest. This flimsy plot device states he can have one wish - which he uses to live again. They deny him that, but give him the opportunity to return for one week.

Both are touching but beautiful love stories and both makes you cry a river over them. Both are school romance, but as you can see in Koizora they are not the fun kind of romance, they include "heavy romance". Majo no Jouken was even heavier. In my opinion, Majo no Jouken was unforgettable and better than Koizora. So you should see it before you die.

Both are Mangas made into movie turned into drama,
The only thing that changes is that in this one the girl is the one with the illness...

Both the movie Yuuki and Koizora involved the main character fighting a disease and changing their outlook on life. Although Koizora focused a little more on romance than Yuuki both still contain the same theme.

Younger man student & older woman teacher love story. A lot of intrigue & heavy road for both of them to be together. If you like teacher student drama/movie relationship this is a must watch.
