Both have: - A Highschool girl that moves to the house of the main lead. - A main lead that is a kitsune (fox spirit) and had a darker personality in the past. - Main lead serves the girl even though she has powers. - Other youkai join them in the house as friends. - Slow Romance and comedy.

The main female character has demon blood running through her reigns. Both Anime deal with being different from normal people and the designs are intricate.

They are very similar -- a story of a demon serving a child from a rich family. Perhaps a bit darker with less humor, but the core is the same.

In his beautiful animation, in his style, both are romantic comedy with dramatic touches, have exciting moments, in his relationship between players or because Takumi and Soushi are very similar, and because the two players have strong character and they are good at everything.

Blend S is like the comedy version of Inu Boku SS. You'll notice that the author was inspired by Cocoa Fujiwara's work. First the "S" in the titles. Then you'll notice lots of similarities, even though the plot is different, the character's design is almost identical. You'll also find some characters with the very same personality: - Maika is a loner like Ririchiyo. She is constantly attacked by a blue eyed blonde character (Dino/Nobara) with a persona that finds the heroine extremely moe and nosebleeds etc. - Kaho (BlendS) is a cute blonde with a tsundere persona, like Watanuki in Inuboku SS. - Akizuki is the "deliquent" type  read more

Ririchiyo and Taiga (the main female characters) are petite tsundere from wealthy families, with deeper reasons to behave the way they do, instead of just your typical tsundere traits for moe purposes. Bonus! Both wear thigh-highs. Miketsukami and Ryuuji are both gentle male characters, with talents at "domestic" chores, and enjoy taking care of the main female characters.

Beyond the superficial silliness lies a dark past. The elements of magic, which are hereditary and involve transformations, play second fiddle to the relationships between the characters. There is romance in the air. All the male characters are bishounen.

Both anime have a male fox spirit who 'protects' a young female. Gugure! Kokkuri-san seems to be a lighthearted feel good comedy anime, whereas Inu x Boku SS while also a comedy takes on more of a romance theme.

The relationship in both shows is pretty similar. Both have an older male protagonist and younger female protagonist. The male protagonists of Inu x Boku and Koikimo spend their time assisting the girl with her problems, protecting her, and doting on her. Meanwhile the female protagonists of Inu x Boku and Koikimo argue with the guy, don't agree with his actions, but ultimately ends up appreciating his company. Inu x Boku has more supernatural elements than Koikimo, but I feel like the type of relationship the characters have is the same.

Inu x Boku ss and Kamisama Hajimemashita are similar because main characters are surrounded of spiritual beauty mystic creatures, correspondent of japanese asian folk. Also that Japanese style characterizes both series, both have the same feeling althoug Kamisama Hajimemashita have more comedy. Also we see a romance between the two main characters very sweet and tender. And the male protagonist also have cute ears. Very recommended.

Inu X Boku and RDG are similar in the fantasy element they both share. Both have a female protagonist with a male love interest also main character. Both shows are visually appealing and involve ancestry.

Both Anime deal with Demons. The main female characters have similar personalities, the story line is told in slice of life and there is a similar feel to the actual story line, not to mention the art style is similar. 
report Recommended by Yemi_Hikari
(Kind of) slice of life, both have eccentric characters, and a funny everyday life, although Acchi Kocchi is more "normal" and InuxBoku takes place in a unusual mansion.  
report Recommended by thrisna
Both shana clone, kuudere/tsundere female characters with male nice guy love interests. An extremely similar dynamic between the two main characters, with a more dominating female. Inu X Bokuu SS is more of an Urban Fantasy in modern day japan, while Gosick is a historical mystery set in Europe. Inu X Bokuu SS has more action and romance and is a bit funnier, with Gosick being more serious.

Similar kind of "master servant" relationship that would develop into something else, both have supernatural and historical elements, and the two girls are alike in their situation and personality.

- similarly enticing /romance/, with two individually /lovable mains/ - same sense of /humour/ that ties in with the relationships, very enjoyable, with a /friend-family/ feel that sucks you in - around the same number of episodes, so /similar format/, but different story - very /unique music/ and themes - /not too serious/ most of the time, but doesn't take away from the plot ~ In comparison, based slightly more on /attitudes to class, funny stereotypes, and romance/, slightly tongue in cheek at times ~ ever-so-slightly more slapstick ~ has one or two /filler episodes/, rather than a /final 'special'/

-both have quiet and awkward female leads. both of which gain friends and become more open as the animes progress. -both of which do not know how to go about their feelings for the male lead. -both have a male lead wanting the female lead's attention. -both have another male character also wanting the female's lead. -inu x boku is a bit more crass, and cutesy. -say i love you is more realistic and serious, with humor spread throughout.

the plot of the animes are completely different from each other but some aspects of both anime are similar. (for example: living in dormitory, rich girls ....) the character design of main anime characters look alike Kanade - Miketsukami Kaho - Ririchiyo however Inu x Boku ss is way more better then Hatsukoi Monster

Both deal with supernatural entities, such a youkai and ayakashi, and feelings of loneliness of the main characters.

Soft and fluffy romance where the couple learns about each other as the story progresses.

Both shows have female characters that are canon lesbians. Those girls share some parts of personality because they both react in the same way when a cute girl appears. Too, they live close to a lot of girls and admire them while they do daily things. Also, both girls are bounded to a guy they don't want to be with.

Similarities - Female Protagonist who thinks a lot about how she treats others, starts with little friends, and is not very social - Male Main Character becomes strongly connected to the girl - Show conveys very deep and serious tone paired with light chibi comedy Differences - Inu x Boku SS has darker artwork, slightly more serious tone, and a supernatural twist - Kimi ni Todoke has more soliloquy, and has a shoujo feel

Both are about a relationship. You have two different people with distinct personalities try to understand each other better but they are both held back at first by each other personalities. Both titles are slow romance as well. Both of these also have minor characters with interesting/good personalities. Both have handsome/attractive male lead. Both are comedy.

- Both Soushi and Luca have the same seiyuu, Nakamura Yuuichi. They also serve a rich girl, who they fall in love with. - Both female characters strive to become independent. Ririchiyo decides to move to Ayakashi Kan, while Felicita decides to participate in the Arcana Duello.

Both Servant x Service and Inu x Boku SS skillfully handle character relationships where you find yourself cheering as the plot progresses because the development is very well executed.

They both have a very similar vibe to them, there are characters that are slightly sadistic and the humor is quite similar. Both MCs slowly open up to each other alot more and are able to be honest with each other The music in both are quite good!  
report Recommended by MagicPotato98
Offers a similar idea presenting the relationship between a master and their servant, except "Inu x Boku SS" focuses more on the romantic premise, whereas "Shadows House" is not romantic in any way and has a sinister ring to it. Thereby If you had watched "Inu x Boku SS" but wished it was darker, then go ahead and watch "Shadows House." If you had watched "Shadows House" but wished it has the romantic premise, then you might want to check "Inu x Boku SS."

Fruits Basket's storyline/lore is far more elaborate and some would say grim, however certain characters in Inu x Boku feel and look eerily similar to FB's cast (this is also due to the use of tropes). Both are entertaining romantic stories with a strong mythical/supernatural element to them. Although Inu x Boku is much campier and feels much more like a satire with abundant fanservice while FB's humour is much more subtle. I absolutely loved both and enjoyed finding some parallels between the two.

Both Anime deal with people that have demon blood in them. There is fighting and romance, not to mention the story lines draw you in.

Though both male leads are very kind to the MC, they are keeping a big secret. Hotaru and Ririchiyo aren’t experienced with love but help the respective male lead with his past. Inu x Boku is a supernatural comedy while A Condition Called Love is a drama.

It's similar because they both have supernatural elements and both include romance, colorful and cute characters, and ok humor.  
report Recommended by Lavander_why
They both have at times boring slice of life aspects, some action, cute girls and a bit of romance. They give off a very similar feeling, they both have main characters that feel lonely and change for better when getting to know their love interest. If you liked the other I don't see why you wouldn't like the other one aswell.

Both are romance anime with age gap between main couple (although in Ojou to Banken kun the difference is bigger) Both are pretty funny and have beautiful art.

- Essentially a girls' show; female target audience - But not overwhelmingly so. - Juvenile supernatural (youkai) elements - Faux-light-hearted-creepy-darkness-looming atmosphere - Multiple pairing casual(?) romance

The "hidden/unknown" romance aspect of both titles is very similar. Characters get to know each other in an unconventional way unbeknownst to them. The sets of main characters from each title have a sad/serious backstory as well.

Both stories are about a lonely outcast who has supernatural abilities (with Watakuki it is seeing spirits). The stories show them meeting others like them and making friends, growing. They are both lighthearted with an element of drama.

Both are about Japanese folklore, essentially, although Inu is much more comedic and romantic; there is one episode in particular (7) which is almost a direct parallel to any Mononoke episode, where the spirits need to be driven away and the animation style changing (reversing) due to that.

Both anime contains.. -- Both somebody knew from the past, but the main character could not recall them int heir memory at all. -- Both main character tries to get rid of them in their lives, but failed. -- Both main character, the person they are trying to get rid of contains magical powers, great looking, and loyal to the main character like a dog. -- Both contains action somewhat + very good + romance + comedy, kinda.

The characters attitude is just the same. Ririchiyo and Nagi is both anti-social and Soushi and Hayate both doing anything for his master. Both anime centralized on comedy while expressing the story.

A lot of resemblance to the art and the characters personalities. Although both animes give totally different vibes than each other, if you enjoy the characters of this show then you probably will enjoy K-Ons characters..

In the mood for a comical romance? With these two anime you'll be sure to get what you're looking for. With enough handsome guys, comedy, a little bit of action and reverse harem elements, I think a lot of girls will want to be the heroines themselves after watching these lovely shoujo anime.

Both shows have the common theme of service in them(Butlers and Body guards).Both are romantic comedies where the Charcthers have a secret they must keep hidden.Both are romantic comedies where the Charcthers have a secret they must keep hidden.Both female masters act kind of the same where they are rude on the outside but secretly a nice person,and both are rich.But in Mayo Chiki the story focuses on someone who finds out the secret and is much more of a comdey while I Inu x Boku the story focuses on they master and we body guard and has more romance.

Both feature similarities between Japanese belief about gods and demons, but mainly demons. As InuxBoku SS includes protecting in a servant/master relationship Yozakura Quartet on the other hand only includes protection of their city. Both have very unique characters that are disguised as human but are in reality another form of demon. I would recommend both animes are good, even though the Yozakura Quartet doesn't make much sense.

Ririchiyo reminds me of Yamada and in episode 4, Maid 2 (in an incredibly weird way since he/she is either a tranny or a crossdresser) reminds me of Satou

Pandora Hearts and Inu x Boku SS have the same type of relationships between Oz and Alice and Ririchiyo and Soushi. As Ririchiyo and Soushi are 'Master and Dog' and Oz and Alice 'Master (Man Servant proclaimed by Alice) and Chain. Both girls kind of don't think they belong either because of family (Ririchiyo) and loosing memories (Alice)

Our main female finds herself in a new environment. She now lives in a huge mansion with eccentric people. Inu x Boku involves servants and ayakashi while Diabolik Lovers has Vampire bishounen. In one series she knows how to take care of herself with little help, speaks her mind, and a tsundere. The other series she seems to defend herself but only time will tell. Both series has unique art style and great voice actors too.

Both series features themes of the maid/butler theme mixed in with comedy, romance, and drama. Although the main protagonists are somewhat different in terms of personalities, the colorful cast presents an entertaining mood that depicts the life of a luxury. Both series also has gags and some fan-service.

Although these are not too similar, The main characters are very much alike, they are little delicate girls. Who have almost everything done for them, and don't have to do much themselves, but that makes troubles for them later on... • Similar Character design
