A similar story of a traditional sports club struggling to get new members to join the team. In Asahinagu the female lead joins the club hoping to be as strong as the senior club member that she admires. While Shiko Funjatta is about Sumo dominated by males, Asahinagu is about Naginata dominated by females.

A similar tale of a male lead who is lost in life until he met a driven female lead at the most unpopular sports club at the brink of closure, where he encounters various individuals with their own baggage of life trying to find a place they can call home. While Shiko Funjatta is about Sumo, Mirai e no 10 Count is about boxing.

Both are crime dramas with a male lead detective who is rich and have expensive taste for food. Even their personalities and mannerism are similar in some aspect, that I got reminded of Gifted while I was watching Bishoku Tantei.

Similar tale of an Otaku female lead who finds other like minded individuals and forming her own group to do fun activities together. While Tokusatsu is about Otakus who are into Tokusatsu and Idols, Yuru Camp is about Otakus who are into food and camping. Similar vibes and humour.

Both features a slice of life drama about a female lead who is an office worker with a hobby that shapes them into who they are as a working adult. Gagaga is about an Otaku who loves Super Sentai while Ryosangata is about an Otaku who loves model kits!

If you love Tokusatsu Gagaga, you're going to love Jossy. Gagaga is about a female working adult who is secretly an Otaku that is obsessed with Super Sentai. Jossy is about a group of female working adults who are chosen to be Super Sentai themselves! Both have mix of comedy and realism, like a slice of life look into what it's like be a superhero while juggling your work!

A similar tale of how one individual change a household of otakus for the better, albeit with strong resistance to change in the beginning. While Kuragehime is about a man who gets involved with a group of female otakus, Himitsu is about a woman who gets involved with a group of male otakus.

Similar tale of an Otaku who struggles in life and love, having low self-esteem due to their geeky appearance, social anxiety and awkwardness in having normal conversations.

While Kuragehime is about female Otaku who falls for a guy that is out of her league, Densha Otoko is about male Otaku who falls for a girl that is out of his league.

A similar historical drama set during the same period. While Taira no Kiyomori is told from the perspective of the Taira, Yoshitsune is told from the perspective of the Minamoto.

Both are military themed dramas which are rare for jdramas, and they both feature training and combat scenes. While Library Wars the male lead is a ruthless instructor and the female is a inexperienced recruit, Teppachi the male lead is the recruit and the female lead is the instructor.

A similar drama about a naive and idiotic legal assistant male lead with his experienced and ruthless female lead that often clash over their different styles of handling cases. Similar humor and vibes, while Tokujo is about solicitors, Binta is about lawyers.

Similar premise of a police officer with a strong sense of justice that caused the irritation of other departments and upper management, as they battle corruption and injustice.
