Last Game addpermalink

If you like Koi Dano Ai Dano, try Last Game or vice versa.    The handsome main leads in these shoujos have to deal with intelligent yet clueless girls.   The guys fall for them, yet they see him as their best friend and ignore all clues about romance - also the guys are not very good at straightforwardly telling the girl, but go about their approach in a round about way that leads nowhere, yet in a very humorous way.    Koi Dano is very humorous yet also very well written and witty, while Last Game is not as intricately woven, it's also very good.   read more

Skip Beat! addpermalink

Both romantic comedies with heavy emphasis on the comedy, featuring strong, female leads who are trying hard to reinvent themselves, though are quick to revert back to old habits and eccentricities (in Kyokos case, her grudges and love of fairy tales, for Naedoko, behavioral observation and skillful manipulation). Both are furthermore entirely oblivious to the romantic advances of the male lead, getting far more exited at the prospect of going windowshopping or eating ice cream with their first ever (female) friend. I think if you like one, you're bound to like the other.

Ouran Koukou Host Club addpermalink

They both have strong female leads and they both center around a school club, in Ouran High School Host Club they are of course in the host club while in  in Koi Dano ai Dano they are in the newspaper club.   Both have the prince type main guy who is likeable and a cold logical smart megane girl who is indifferent to or clueless of his affection.   Actually the female lead of Koi Dano is a bit like a female version of  Kyoya ( the megane character from Ouran ) in that she is smart, logical and a behind the scenes strategist who runs things around her and is concerned with making money.   read more

Both manga feature independent female protagonists who impress the people around them while also simultaneously attracting the attention of several popular and attractive guys, though both ultimately have one who stands above the rest. 

While this is just a simple similarity in premises, the two manga go deeper than that, each having deeper messages that are conveyed through their protagonists' thoughts, words, and actions. Ouran features a lot of character building and character development through its protagonist interacting with the various host club members as well as customers, among others. On the other hand, Koi dano Ai dano's character building focuses more on people from all around the school, from the student council to the broadcasting club, et cetera. Ouran also includes a lot more comedy than Koi dano Ai dano, though Koi dano Ai dano also has its moments.

The overall male leads in both manga are fairly easy to pick out, especially in Koi dano Ai dano's case. However, the two leads are rather different in personality, which leads to each manga having its own unique feeling when it comes to its romance aspects. This is especially true when you look at the overall progression of each relationship, as it seems at one point the two manga almost flip when it comes to who has to reassure who about the relationship. The reasoning behind the reassurances also differ between the two manga, however, making a set of parallels between the relationships of the protagonists in each rather difficult to find aside from the female leads both being similarly headstrong and that the romance takes somewhat of a back seat for portions of their respective manga.

Ultimately, while both Ouran and Koi dano Ai dano have protagonists who have similar personality traits and an overall similar approach to character building and development, the various differences between them make for each read to feel similar enough to be familiar yet different enough to feel fresh at the same time. read more

Has a similar feeling mc who is kind of awkward but because of their uniqueness attracts the attractive guy.
Both have a similar feel and are lighthearted for the most part.
The heroines are full of heart, spunk, and ambition.
They have a sweet honesty to them underneath it all that others who become close to them can see.
Well-written and not so full of cliches

Mishounen Produce addpermalink

Both female leads are very clever, "plain" looking girls who place a high value on friendship.  Both have a super-popular and sexy male childhood friend who is madly in love with them.  And both of them are way too dense and self-effacing to see that love for what it is.

Onanie Master Kurosawa addpermalink

Both manga's protagonists act as somewhat outsiders, who reluctantly involve themselves with their classes. They also deduce factors, influences and relationships within the class.
Each main character is analytical and acts somewhat superior to the rest of the class. However koi dano ai dano is shoujo and is a much more lighter and more comedic read than Onanie Master Kurosawa. If looking for similar main characters try this one on.

Manga: Hibiki: Shousetsuka ni Naru Houhou

Hibiki: Shousetsuka ni Naru Houhou addpermalink

Main Female Leads are quite similar in their personalities, however MFL in Koi Dano Ai Dano has a much better sense of humor, whereas MFL in Hibiki is much more serious and weird in different sense. Although there are romance tags for both series and the MMLs are similar as well, it doesn't seem like romance is the main focus of either series.

Cheese in the Trap Season 1 addpermalink

Cheese in the Trap and Koi Dano Ai Dano have intelligent and observant heroines.    These manga both have cold and caluculating characters who seem observe others, and while they are not mean their personalities are not typical ones, both series have both comedy and drama.    They differ in that Cheese is josei while Koi Dano is shoujo and that Cheese has a more complex plot and a mystery.

Kaichou wa Maid-sama! addpermalink

Strong female leads who are smart, they both have a cold sort of megane outlook on things which is a lot of fun as you see them analyze situations.    They both have prince like guys who like them but they are indifferent or clueless about it.   They both involve school clubs, in Koi Dano ai Dano they are in the newspaper club, while in Kaichou wa Maid-Sama they are in student council.
