They are both amazing, yet in a way tragic, movies. Both of them deal with supernatural creatures (vampires and werewolves) but they both do so in a way where the supernatural part does not take away from the actual storyline whatsoever. Both of them talk about the sadness associated with being inhuman, and friendship/love that transcends generations (both of them have seemingly immortal characters). Lastly, both the endings leave you with a hole in your heart. That scary emptiness. You know what I mean. There are a lot more similarities, but I won't delve too far into detail. If you're curious, go see for yourself ^^
"A Werewolf Boy" was my first tearjerker. Both movies have gone into my collection of movies that make you cry. They are both beautiful, everything the guy did he did for the girl, and it makes you long for men like that to have in life although Koizora was based off the writers real experience. I would definitely suggest making a "Movies that make Me cry" collection with these 2 as the first to.
the story is almost similar. it just has a difference. A WereWolf Boy tells of KIM SUNYI, an old woman who lives in the United States who returned to Korea and met her grandchildren, they returned home in the countryside where KIM SUNYI recalls remembering the time she was seventeen years old. in the countryside he found a wild boy about nineteen years old in the vicinity of their house, his blood type could not be identified and he could not read or speak. even though he behaved like a wild animal, the kind-hearted KIM SUNYI's mother adopted him and named him CHULSOO. KIM SUNYI And His Mother Assume CHULSOO is one of more than 60,000 orphans in the Korean War.
This is for the people that like to cry to movies
Summoned by an unexpected phone call, an elderly woman visits a cottage she used to live in as a child. She begins to recall her memories of a boy she knew 60 years ago.
The young Suni and her family move to a small rural village in Korea. There, they encounter a strange ‘wolf boy’ hiding under a bush and take him in out of pity. Bothered by his wild eyes and feral behavior, Suni teaches the boy to wait patiently before a meal, put on clothes, and read and write the alphabet so that he can one day live like other human beings. Slowly, the boy begins to develop feelings for Suni, the first person to ever show him affection. Then one day an unexpected threat exposes the boy’s deadly bestial instincts, and in an instant, he becomes the subject of the villagers’ fears. Desperate to save the life of the boy who risked his own to be by her side, Suni leaves him with a promise: ‘Wait for me. I’ll come back for you.’

'Dog' turned human romance story. Chul Soo (Song Joong Ki)'s character is like a wolf that suddenly gained a human body [yes he is a werewolf but this is how his character acts] where Shiro (Toyokawa Etsushi) is shown to be a guide dog given a human body to find the girl that raised him as a puppy. If you liked one you'll probably like the other.
Both movies have innocent 'supernatural' guys, where the girl is the one who teaches/taught them love in a very simple, a bit slow, but in cute way. The boy is fully captured by this girl and remains loyal to them in an innocent way for what seems forever. The endings are both tear jerkers and leaves you reflecting on it afterward. It's really a bit difficult to explain, but if you liked the way the boy and the girl loved each other in "A Werewolf Boy", it is literally the same feeling throughout "Boy from Wonderland".
The only main difference is that "A Boy From Wonderland" has a bit of an eerie feeling mixing in with the beauty of it. However, it's all explained in the end. Please sit through this film, it's the only one I can compare to "A Werewolf Boy".
