I think the main difference of this compared to say bokuben (airing next season) is hanayome is mainly a character driven story.

In other like bokuben or nisekoi you have after the introduction mostly a string of short stories, often 1-2 manga chapters long, in which nothing major changes. Big story arcs with changes in character are rare, most development is about the mystery in the background, which moves the story forward.

In hanayome you mostly have longer story arcs (around 7-10 manga chapters reach), where you see characters interact, grow, change and with it the story flows more naturally. While there is a mystery, it is more linked to the character themselves. Resolving the mystery means that we learn more about the characters.

Also the main mystery is not "will he get one or not" but "who is he going to marry", which changes the context of the story a bit.

You could say that there it's a clear difference of the cast between chapter 1 and the current manga chapters, which is not evident say in nisekoi.

Nah, the difference is that Gotoubun is focused on romance while bokuben is focused on the comedy even if both are romcom. And to be fair, the characters of bokuben do change over the beginning of the manga and where they are right now be it with Fumino or Rizu. And also they have arcs, even if not that recurrent in comparison.

I'd say 5Toubun was more focused on drama than romance in the first half, culminating in the big climax that is the arc name, although it has been becoming more and more focused on the romance ever since big event.
