When looking at the artwork for Kokoro Connect and Hyouka, the artwork looks strikingly similar to each other, despite being animated by differing studios. It is interesting to note that both also have a comedy more centered on romantic interactions (and on some sexual lines) between the characters, although in Bunny-Girl the humor is much more dependent on the protagonist.

Both Bunny-Girl and Kokoro Connect present moments of comedy in conciliation with this more dramatic and serious narrative. These experiences also lead to closer ties between the characters in the cast. In Kokoro Connect, the events are conducted by 'Seed Heart'.

In Bunny-Girl, it is the Adolescent Syndrome. In both works, the dilemmas faced by the characters (and, of course, their resolutions) are strictly associated with supernatural experiences. Bunny-Girl, on the other hand, presents more specific themes and social criticisms, such as deep-rooted bullying, family pressure and comparison between sisters, the compulsive need for inclusion in social groups and networks, the constant dissemination of the body and image without conscience, among other things. Kokoro Connect, for example, addresses personality and identity crises, troubled family relationships, correspondence and past or current relationships. As if this were not enough, these internal problems, in general, represent important parallels with the common problems in adolescence and puberty. Both take place in a school reality in which the characters involved, mostly, present personal dramas that are solved with the progression of the narrative. Since the genres of these works are almost identical, there is little surprise in this recommendation.
