A beautiful girl with magical powers accompanies a mysterious bishounen with a mysterious past and a dark agenda on a journey. Compared to the girl in Hatenkou Yuugi, Hakushaku's girl is a little more timid and her powers are more passive than active (she can communicate with fairies, but she can't cast spells--at least, not as of the first episode). Also, whereas in Hatenkou Yuugi, the girl is genuinely a companion for her two bishounen friends, in Hakushaku she is more a servant of the duke, and at his mercy.

Although a totally different age and setting, the blond male protagonist struggles throughout the anime to seduce the reluctant and female protagonist. Both are nicely embroidered with some light romance and comedy

Set in 19th century England, both have bishounen, some supernatural and magic element. Both are comedy with a little bit of action (in Kuroshitsuji there is much more) 
report Recommended by doorotka
Both female protagonists have rare abilities that connect them to fairies and are sought out and taken in by the male protagonist who has slight romantic inclinations towards the female protagonist. Both are centered in England and revolve around British folklore.

Both anime deal with English aristosracy and its morals. Both have blonde bishounen as the main hero involved in some kind of contract with supernatural heroine. By the way Oz and Edgar have also dark though loyal servants. And genres are the same: romance, shoujo, reverse harem. For those who are charmed with English exquisite aristocratic atmosphere, both anime would be the best option.

If you're a fan of stories set in Europe or with a European theme and about nobles, you should check this out. Also, both art are beautifully drawn.

Magical, romance, fantasies with red haired heroines and good looking male leads.  
report Recommended by Fayere
Edgar is just like Tamaki (dazzling, handsome, blonde and self-centered) and Lydia is a little bit like Haruhi (natural and easy-going). Great romance comedies both!

The male lead is blonde with no powers, whilst the female is the one with magic.  
report Recommended by Sapphire86
Both have a very similar vibe, in art style (Victorian & European influence), premise of mystery and adventure. 
report Recommended by Namenames
Both are involved in magic. One involves fairies, the other natural elements. They are also very similar romance wise. 
report Recommended by UnfortunateLefty
The plot isn't very similar but the drawings are very alike and the relationship, when the main characters become closer, reminds of the one which Yuuki and Kaname has. Even though they aren't close from the beginning, when time passes by, the guy protects the girl. 
report Recommended by BlackBell6
Both are about determined females involved with magic and have talking cats for sidekicks. Kiki's delivery service is more light hearted, but both do have humor as well.  
report Recommended by Moon_River
The lovelyness are the same with magical creatures and actions with slice of humor, only that Earl and Fairy has a slice of romance between two characters but who knows what Shining Hearts will have lest's watch ^^ 
report Recommended by kairi07
The artwork and feel of both are very similar, while the stories are different both deal with the supernatural in similar ways. The pacing and character development are also very much alike.

- Both take place in the realm of aristocrats/Victorian vibes - The main protagonist is smart and denies her feelings towards the main man - Handsome and smart male love interest - The plot of the investigation and the secret

Both have a fantasy story including supernatural creatures. The characters live in old cities and the atmosphere is cheerful and warm. Differnce: Hakkenden: Japan, Hakushaku: Great Britain and Scotland. 
report Recommended by Salvina
In both series, there's a similar atmosphere with an English like tone with majestic backgrounds. The main characters are dressed elegantly and have a sense of style. The main male protagonist also seems tough, independent, but also cold to people at various times. Both series has fantasy elements as well as comedy, drama, and sense of innocence at various stances between characters.

Both are reverse harem Both main character cheerful and smart girl Both of the story are somewhat complicated 
report Recommended by Unyan
Well, they both are romancey, (with Earl & Fairy being more of the romance type).. And they both have the phrase Nobliss Oblidge (exept in Earl and Fairy its said like 2 times). They both have the main male become a king of some sort. Also, the people are cute in both ^^;;

Both the animes have action, but not over-the-top. Both animes have love and romance and deal with being confused about their feelings. Both are fantasy too. 
report Recommended by hanyou-chan
Personality wise the main characters have a lot in common. Edgar and Yano are very confident, popular, good looking and untrustworthy. Lydia and Nana-chan both have self-esteem problems, as well as being kind and thoughtful. The overall drama and relationship progression are similar too.

If you like anime with theme of magic and slice of life then you might like these two. For instance, both have: - a lovely redhaired, green-eyed heroine who has the ability to see spirits heavily based on celtic folklore, like fairies. - a familiar pet which can talk and protects the heroine. - the hero aka a mysterious gentleman who is fond of the heroine. Personally I find Mahoutsukai better, because it develops the characters in a more meaningful way, but Hakushaku might be worth to try for those who like a little bit more of romance.  
report Recommended by Orulyon
Both of these series are reverse harem series involving a girl with special powers helping a noble and his retainers. The concept of Noblesse Oblige is central to both series. They also both have a Victorian style setting and a cat mascot. 
report Recommended by Ash-Falls-Town
Other than the fact that 3 of the leads are voiced by the magnificent Mizuki Nana, the stories for both are short and changes in arc occur every few episodes. Both are rather dramatic in nature, with Hakushaku to Yousei being more fantasy type, and Allison and Lillia more adventrue type. 
report Recommended by HalRyder
Both are reverse harems with a very good selection of male characters. They're both fairy tale esque and have just enough romance without being over or underwhelming. Neither have amazing stories, and can never be called masterpieces but they both have a certain charm that will keep you coming back for more. 
report Recommended by Fayere
The overall feel and cuteness level are the same. Likewise being big on the eye candy factor. The female protagonists are alike too. They're both social outcasts due to their appearance. Sawako is believed to have supernatural powers where as Lydia actually does.

*both deal with fairies and the comunication between them and the humans *different genres, but beautiful art *the main heroine in Hakushaku to Yousei resembles the one in Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita

There are a few bishounens, and the artwork is great! The earl looks like half Kei and half Tamaki, so it'll remind you of special A everytime!  
report Recommended by fwd1111
Both shows have a strong female lead who is surrounded by bishies, and both shows have some supernatural element to them. 
report Recommended by Archaeon
Gorgeous Victorian costumes, romance and blond bishonen are in both series.Yousei has supernatural elements where as Emma does not, but both heroines do not immediately give themselves up to the guy and are refreshingly not whiny. 
report Recommended by rockrgirl01
Both are period shoujo animes that deal with royalty, fantasy and romance. I watched The Good Witch because I thought that it was a lot like Hakushaku, but I personally prefer the latter.  
report Recommended by miskat
- both have a rough start between the main characters; - both have a girl with a supernatural ability, which turns out to be pretty useful; - both have a main male lead with a tragic past that made him somehow distance himself from emotions; - the main female characters are alike; so do the male ones; - the romance, as in how it develops gradually, is similar; - .. and so much more. Bottom line.. if you liked one of these two, there's a very high chance you'll enjoy the other one too.
