While still a virgin at 30, Adachi Kiyoshi gains a magical power – the ability to read other people's minds by touching them. At first, he’s overwhelmed by his new ability, and it’s not proving to be helpful to him. But that all changes when he accidentally touches Kurosawa Yuichi, whom he learns has romantic feelings for him.
They aren't per-sé alike but what makes me connect these two is how wholesome the couples are.
Life Senjou is about two boys finding love in their young years and continuing to love each other in a society that doesn't accept them. The focus here lies more on the story of their lives and has a realistic approach, whereas 30sai made Dotei is definitely more comedic and light-hearted.
Nevertheless, I truly love both of these and they are my favourite Japanese BL's this year. If you enjoy a sweet romance, these are your home.

This work stars Akafuji Yuichiro, a popular and handsome actor, and Aoyagi Hajime, a former popular child actor who has the ability but is currently unremarkable. The story begins when they are chosen to play the double lead roles in the live-action adaptation of an extremely popular BL manga.
They start living together in order to prepare for the role and get publicity, but Akafuji has a curt attitude toward Aoyagi, and Aoyagi doesn't like Akafuji either.
However, there was a reason for his curt attitude. In reality, Akafuji was deeply in love with Aoyagi.
Akafuji tries his best to hide his feelings, and Aoyagi tries to get along with the other but mistakenly thinks that he hates him. The misunderstanding between the two leads to an unexpected slapstick comedy in this "Cohabitation Romantic Comedy".

These dramas have very different setting (thai university - UWMA; office - ChM) but give off overall similar vibe:
Both are BL dramas with shy main lead and confident/perfect love interest who cares a lot about him.
The romance both dramas portray is very soft and cute.
Both dramas have fantasy element (reincarnation - UWMA; mind reading - ChM) and cute side-couple.

I'm not fully sure why, but I kept getting reminded of cherry magic the whole time I was watching this. I don't know how to describe it but they have very similar vibes.
- two main leads work together
- in an office setting
- a main plot besides plain romance
- acknowledgeable character development

Both of them are Office Cute Romance. Also, the episode's durance is similar and they both got 12 episodes. In Cherry Magic there are two main couples. In both series one of the main characters isn't sure about their sexual orientation and develop feeling through the series. The other main character is in love with the first a long time ago.
