Office people love to speak about how charming, talented and handsome main lead of both if the show in the beginning of the series. Two characters of main lead in these shows are similar, i can say that. Also, they're both bl series which can show you life struggles and mature love

Struggles, portraying fake image to people and maybe being human pleaure.. serious but not melodramatic subjects.. i definitely recommend both series + flirting are so on point <3

Both are wildly charming food-centered romances focusing on characters learning to find joy, love, and meaning both in their existing relationships and in the world around them.
OFC falls slightly more on the mature side of the spectrum than Aki wa Haru, but both are very wholesome stories over all.

I can't explain that but these two shows have similar vibe even though their plot is totally different, maybe the reason is they are both Japanese bromance/bl series with talented actors, or maybe emotinal parts/helping each other part catched me, i don't know but i highly recommend both series
