Shows that feel likegiven (2019)
If you loved given, the closest series we have are This Is Us (2016), Another (2012) and Extraordinary Attorney Woo (2022). All three share given's contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Carrie (2026).
If given hit the spot, these will too

The same preoccupation in both: romance

Two things both keep coming back to: suicide and tragedy
The difference: Trades the romance of given for an angle of its own

Both are built on the same subject: slice of life
The difference: Easier on the melancholy than given

Contemplative where it counts, romantic underneath
The difference: Sits closer to sci-fi & fantasy than given does

Both are working the same pair: high school, school
The difference: Leans harder into comedy than given does

One thread runs through both: based on manga

Both keep coming back to the same thing: romance

Common ground: high school

Melancholy drama in both cases

From the 2020s, and it lands the same way

Common ground: tragedy

Both lean on stillness more than on animation
