They deal with the theme of the 'monster' and childhood trauma. They are more similar that you may think at first.

When I first saw Tomorrow, it just had this odd sense of similarity to IOKTNBO.
First off, the female leads are headstrong. The supporting cast is just a fantastic group! I love each and everyone one of the character and the stories they had. Both had a theme closely related to suicide, mental health, and healing from these scars.

Here's My Plan has a similar tough and assertive FL . You don't always approve of the FL's actions in either show but you slowly understand why they are the way they are and keep everyone at a distance. Similar dynamics, but Here's My Plan has more slice of life vibes while IOTNBO has more fantasy/melo vibes.

The story begins with Shuji, a high school student in Hokkaido, walking up to an observatory and reminiscing about his girlfriend, Chise. He finds her exchange diaries that she purposefully left behind. The whole story is narrated by him through flashbacks while reading Chise's diary. Chise, a fellow student in his class, declares her love for Shuji at the beginning of the series. However, Chise is very shy and Shuji is insensitive. Neither know how to express their feelings very well, but they do indeed have feelings for each other. One day, while Shuji is shopping in Sapporo, unknown bombers attack the city in broad daylight. He and his friends run for cover, but notice a fast and small flying object shoot down enemy bombers. Separated from his friends, Shuji wanders through the wreckage only to stumble upon Chise. She has metal wings and weapons apparently grafted onto her body. She tells him she has become the ultimate weapon, without her knowledge or consent.

The leads have intense chemistry
Emotional rollercoaster
complicated relationship between the leads
Dark vibes
Sad and traumatic backstory for the leads
Crime element
instead of the FL chasing after the guy, the ML goes after the FL, similar in that its kind of obsessive

It both hero and heroine meet first at their childhood where the heroine is left with the impression that she saves the hero's life (justifieble or not). Later on in current times they meet again.. and fall in love, but the hero is reluctant to date the heroine due to the traumatic experiences in his past witch left him with the impression that he can't be loved. At later stage of the drama the newly-started couple has to deal with the possibility that the female parent of one of them was killed by a family member of the other one.

Both are considered healing dramas as the main character struggles to get over their past and regrets through their blooming love for each other and matured.

Similar in these aspects:

- Both have that otherworldly feel to it
