They have almost nothing in common at the beginning, where they do have more similarities is from the middle. Saito is just as withdrawn as Makoto, who consequently when a girl tries to seduce him he falls into his arms, without establishing clear limits; being someone else's boyfriend. Himari is the cheerful girl who is a faithful friend of the main girl, who at a certain point pretends to be Saito's girlfriend to eliminate gossip, as a "noble" act to help the duo, hiding her true intentions; to lower the boyfriend to her friend, like Sekai. Akane doesn't even know what she wants, so she accepts Himari's help without questioning her intentions, and gets angry with her when she realizes them, just as Kotonoha was angry with Sekai for the same; they share in common not expressing their feelings properly. So they only look a little alike and that's it.

Yosuga no Sora

- They start quietly, progressively have a dense and tragic atmosphere. - For the same reason, both are characterized by a snowball effect that leads to the consequence of the actions of their characters. - The protagonist is born from the archetype "good guy" to later show that this concept is very idealized. - Both have a harem that, in most cases, manifests itself only in idealization and a crush at first sight. - The other characters are also archetypal and almost all of them are in common in both works. - If we guide ourselves in a transmedia way, then both have incest. However, just as they have similarities they also have differences, many, for the same reason I did not consider them to be very similar either, they are similar only in some elements.

White Album 2

White Album 2 drinks a lot from what School Days is: 1) The same elements. 2) A dichotomous scenario based on the insecurities of its characters. 3) A Snowball effect that triggers the message and intention of both works. Of course, where they differ the most is in their theme, making WA2 can be differentiated enough from School Days not to fall into "plagiarism" or something similar; but it is very difficult not to grasp the idea that could have been inspired by it. Anyway, both School Days and White Album 2 are very good anime and each one represents reality in its own way.
