Skip Beat!

Both series have a tense relationships between sexes. In Skip Beat! it's Tsuruga Ren and Mogami Kyoko and in Kaichou wa Maid-sama! it's Usui Takumi and Ayuzawa Misaki. Girls in both series are trying to reach their goal no matter what, have a strong attitude and dedicated to their job. Although girls look very similarly and guys are always silently support those girls they love. 

Strong female character in a leading-role (xD) Things are inverted though: Ayusawa, the strong and cold female president of the student council, succumbs to Takumi's "pheromones" in Kaichou wa Maid-sama, However, in Skip Beat!, your demanding and perfectionist biseinen actor Tsuruga is who ends up being attracted by Mogami's personality Both are enjoyable comedy shows 

Both series are very amusing and funny. They both deal with the life of a female protagonist. The main characters Misaki and Mogami are both willful and determined girls who can take care of themselves. 

Both main female characters have a strong personality and chibi forms are similar. 

Both have a fiery, hardworking female protagonist who are trying to accomplish a goal, while combating the day-to-day challenges that pop up. Both have their bishounen characters there to tease the girl and create a love interest while the heroine holds little or nothing for love, or even betrayals of some kind by the opposite sex. And both are Romantic Comedies with a wide variety of characters & events, and two heroines that arent afraid to get their hands dirty and kick some ass. It's just that one takes place in school mainly, and the other in lots of places. 

They main characters have both strong will and are great in many things. It's humorous and they fascinate you every time 

when watching kaichou wa maid-sama it somehow reminded me of skip beat 

Both the main girls in these two series are tomboyish with similar personality along with a hardworking attitude. Both series has tons of humor and drama. Both anime(s) features romance themes. Both series has popular main male characters. Both have "chibi" scenes :P Both series features the main girl working for a goal. Both series have high energy. Both series have similar animation style Yup, you get the idea. 

funny,romance, cute but mysterious male lead 

Both romance, interesting and energetic. Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama is about the main guy finding out the main girl's secret. Both animes are comedy. I love them both C: 

Kaichou wa Maid-sama and Skip Beat are very similar anime. There similar genre are comedy, romance, and shoujo. In these two series, there is a love triangle between two guys and one girl. Unlike Kaichou wa Maid-sama, Skip Beat doesn't take place in a school. Instead it setting revolves around acting in movies, television shows, and commercials. Although the settings are different, the protagonist are similar. The female protagonist for each one of these series are both aggressive characters who are very dense when romantic moments occur. The male protagonist are both adored by other women, and very confident, a little cocky, and somewhat over protective. Personally, I liked Kaichou wa Maid-sama, but I loved Skip Beat! I believe you would too.  read more 

What are they about? Take a strong-willed main female character testing the line between love and hate as she struggles to fight for what she believes in and wrap that with comedy and colorful animation (better in skip beat than maid-sama... Those backgrounds god) Kaichou wa Maid-sama happens in a school-life type of scenario and Skip Beat in the Entertainment industry.  

I can't say that this is exactly the same as skip beat!, It does resemble the same lesson learned, which is learning to love, when you lost trust in someone or even yourself, It's not as romantic (sorry to the people who are looking for romantic series similar to Kaichou wa maid sama.) but you will soon begin to fall in love with the characters just like in Kaichou wa maid sama. 

They are both refreshing shows with strong, captivating heroines. Skip Beat has an imminent amount of comedy, which makes you grin from ear to ear. The characters will enthrall you and the series will make you laugh and...laugh! It has a little romance too, so you will have the best of both words. This anime is truly a COMEDY-ROMANCE (This is on purpose). So give it a chance and watch this series, you won't regret it! 

Both have a strong female protagonist and a similar sense of humor throughout the series. Even though Kaichou wa Maid-sama! is more focused on romance you get the same warm feeling when watching both. You just love them. 

Both series have some really badass female mcs who can get pretty vulnerable at certain moments as well as a focus on romance too. 

Despite their premise being very different, there is an inexplicable similarity of the two. The animation feels the same and main characters strong personalities are similar. They are both hilarious and have strong themes of romance between characters. Give them both a go if you haven't already.  

the protagonist trying to make it as an actress + the development of the relationship with an older guy, big name of the industry 

Both anime's are about the acting industry with a powerful elusive male helping to push them to their dream. Skip Beat has more comedy while Glass Mask is more dramatic, but the story line of them trying to reach for the top and their natural talent is very similiar. If you love one, you'll probably love the other.  

They both are focused around becoming famous actresses- and for the most part have similar motives for wanting to act. 1) they want to prove someone wrong and 2) because they find a passion for it. The actresses also have a 'relationship' for an older man, which in both cases the male character has conflicting emotions about how he should go about their 'relationship'. Although Glass mask is more on the dramatic theatrics where as Skip Beat! is more of a comical anime, if you like one of them, you are sure to like the other. :) 

Both are about two great actors and later falls in love with one of their mentors. Maya in glass mask is a genius at acting while Kyoko from skip beat has some hidden/unknown ability to act. Ren from Skip beat and Masumi from glass mask resembles each other too xD. Glask mask is more dramatic while skip beat has more comedy. 

Both female protagonists, Kyoko from Skip Beat and Maya from Glass Mask are both very similar, since they both have an extraordinary talent in acting. The male characters within the animes, Ren from Skip Beat and Masumi from Glass Mask are also similar, since they have a great influence on the female protagonists. However, I think that Glass Mask has more drama in it, whereas Skip Beat has more comedy and both do have elements of romance in them. If i were to choose which one was the best... Skip Beat is the winner all the way ^^ 

Both are about act. 

Glass Mask is about a young 13-year-old girl, Maya Kitajima, who has no specific talent for anything--except acting. Once she is discovered by an old, famous actress, she is taken under her wing and trained into an amazingly talented, award-winning actress, all the while striving to beat out her rival, acting prodigy Ayumi Himekawa, for the role that made her mentor famous: the Scarlet Angel in "The Scarlet Angel". While Glass Mask is more stage acting oriented, there are certain times where they go into acting for TV shows and movies like Kyoko does in Skip Beat. Glass Mask has a lot more drama than Skip Beat and isn't as funny, but it has about the same amount of romance, if not more, than Skip Beat does. Glass Mask is my favorite anime of all time, to be honest, and is much, much better than Skip Beat. So, if you loved Skip Beat, I STRONGLY suggest you watch the anime that is based off of a manga that was the #1 bestselling shoujo manga in Japan for 30 years (it's #2 now, but yeah--and yes, it's an old series, but it still isn't complete yet!). Trust me, you will not regret it. :) read more 

both girls strive to learn and survive in the world of acting. both showing amazing amounts of talents, and along the way, find love....(in the manga that is...) 

Both about acting, both about Girls whose dream is to be the greatest but it doesn't mean they're too similar! They're indeed different and alike at the same time anyways, if you enjoyed one - you're definitely going to enjoy the other! 

In both series, there is a girl who is pursuing for a career in the entertainment industry (although for different reasons). Along the way, they encounter struggles but pushes themselves to overcome any challenges they face. Additionally, they are determined to try out new ideas for their careers. There is passion in both series with a sense of drama. Skip Beat! contains more comedy though while Glass no Kamen/Glass Mask contains more drama. The main male protagonists also plays their roles that influences the girl's decisions and career at several occasions. Additionally, there is added element of romance present that develops on and off. 

The main girl tries to become an actress, and everybody is surprised at her level of skill for such a low level of experience. Ren and Hayami are similar characters, being the older guy who likes to tease the main girl, but is actually in love with her. However, they restrain themselves because of the age difference and also partly because of their position. The main girl starts off hating them, but as she gets to know them better she respects them and looks to them as a mentor. 

Both of these titles are about acting and both are in the shoujo and romance genres. The main characters are somewhat alike with their serious and surprising ways of acting. Glass mask tends to be more serious, though. 

Both the animes have main leads trying to make it big in acting. Both have Daddy Long Legs kind of love interest. Though Skip Beat is more comic, Glass no Kamen keeps itself mostly serious. 

The story follows a young girl who wants to make it in show business, and she finds herself in love along the way. 

Both series revolve around a girl entering the world of show business and acting, detailing both the struggles and rewards they experience on their journeys. Romance plays its part in both, but it is perfectly balanced with the other components of the show, so it's never overpowering nor neglected. Both main characters are strong, determined and likeable females with a lot of spirit and ambition and their journeys of the ups and downs of working and sacrificing for your dreams are extremely relatable and inspiring. If you liked one, I would be very surprised if you didn't enjoy the other. 

Both anime are shoujo anime about girls struggling throughout their careers in the movie/play industry (ig that what it called). Glass no Kamen is more serious than Skip Beat and does not have the weird-ish sense of humor, but in my opinion it is one of the best shoujo anime I have watched. Both of the mangas are still unfinished, but both are still worth reading. 

Both are shoujo comedy shows that have romance elements. They have a strong female lead and are in the TOP 100 on MAL. A big amount of really great comedy is present in both of them. Skip Beat! can shine with lots of chibifications, hilarious moments, a great way of using different animation styles, a good story and interesting characters. Ouran Host Club on the other side is a reverse harem at its best and also has lots of these hilarious moments. Both are shows you shouldn't miss, if you like comedies. 

The stories are different, but the main characters are similar - smart, quick, determined, tomboyish "commoners" (though Haruhi is much more mature than Kyoko). The humor is similar too. I think if you like one, you'll appreciate the other one. They are light and funny and great 

Ouran and Skip Beat! are both about exceptionally strong women in unlikely circumstances. Both series have striking art and a cast of strapping young bishes to oogle.  

Well, the feel that is. Not with the story or anything. Both the leads are such enjoyable characters, Haruhi and Kyoko. I like girls who know how to fight and not the damsel in distress type. These animes well represented the Shoujo Genre. Girl Power! 

Simply: both are love-comedies with a lot of bishies. Main female characters are not very much alike, but they both only have one parent, are commoners, stubborn, nice and brave. Imo, OHSHC is still better. 

They both display strong woman that don't give up. The two female characters are usually one's to give advise and make others happier. Both have comedy, but Ouran High Schoo Host Clubl is definitely funnier than Skip Beat. :] When it comes to Romance, in Ouran the main characters fail to notice their feelings for eachother through out... just about the entire anime, but they do have moments of romance which make it cute :P In Skip Beat, the romance is more on the sadder side, but it more about understanding the concept of being in love. Then again both guy and girl fail to notice their feelings for one another until later on in the anime. read more 

Funny characters, with beautiful bishounen males. If you liked the humor, funny acting and animation exaggerations from Skipbeat, you`ll enjoy ouran aswell. (:  

They are both hilariouse *sp?* anime and the main character in skip beat have the same personality as tomeki in OHHC with a mad way .Also they are not long and you will enjoy every single moment of them . 

Both are hilarious, romantic, with strong female leads. They have similar romantic backgrounds, with both the female leads disliking the male main characters in the beginning, but falling in love in the end. I highly recommend Skip Beat if you liked OHHC!  

Both anime is solely based around one protagonist (girl) and the things that happen which changes the way she is. Ouran and Skip Beat! are equally funny and enjoyable. The main character's inner thoughts are one of the best parts in the show. 

If you love comedy with a hint of romance, this is the anime for you. After being treated like a carpet by her famous 'friend' Kyoko decides that taking away the spotlight will be the best form of revenge. Follow her journey as an aspiring actress as she tries desperately to exceed in the industry and find herself along the way. 

Both have working female leads who have single parents, a lot of cute art and character designs and lots of wholesomeness as well too. 

Both are really good, Skip Beat is really funny about a girl just tryna make it in a crazy world (allthough in Skip Beat the girl is also crazy) 

Both have strong and independent female leads, that despite the difficulties they experienced are able to live their lifes how they want to 

both anime has ultra cool and intelligent heroine, and both of them contains less romance than the other shoujo anime.(don't missunderstand me, it's still a shoujo anime which is good =) 

Both series have got a LOOOOT of bishie, girl with an "original dark side" and to me, when Yahiro is thinking about Kyoku and Ren, he's somewhat like Yuki, Ranmaru and Takenaga when they talking about Sunako and Kyohei. These anime are a veeeeery crazy comedy. 

the same expressions drawing - in romantic-comedy way =) 

Both female leads have devilish fantasies from time to time 

Both tell a story about a a cinderella-type, cooking and cleaning loving girl with an evil aura, in a land of bishounens. Both are really good romance-comedies, though SB! is more of a romance and YNSH more of a comedy. 

the style is similiar, both very funny and with a girl who can be really evil :D 

In a way, these two animes are quite alike, but in another way they are different. If you like the humour, mood, and reverse harem in either of the animes, the other one is absolutely a must watch! 

Both of them are very entertaining en heartwarming!! Kyoko en Sunako are both a somewhat scary but are both lovable as you get to know them better!!Both deserve to be watched en both are certainly a must see!enjoy:) 

it's both about a girl. that is thinking that she is not pretty enough. the girl in Skip Beat want revenge because her first love say that she is nothing, so she want to win him , but in Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge is the girl uncertain about her appearance en want to be pretty. 

The main characters remind me of each other. Also, they both can't stand a certain guy. I laughed hard at each anime, but both have their occasional touching moments. 

-Both have comedic chibi-like expressions -Both are reverse harems with hot guys (Although, The Wallflower has a bigger harem) -Both female MCs were dumped by the guy they like Both are great animes to watch if you're a rom-com fan. 

Both have some pretty spicy female leads in alot of crazy antics and and alot of wacky dacky types of comedy in it as well too. 

Another Shoujo anime in a similar style, only this one deals more with music and the relationship between two girls and their struggles with love and life, one a band member and the other an ordinary girl. 

Similar art and style shoujos about female lead characters struggling to make it in the entertainment industry, learning about love and themselves along the way. Skip Beat might be consdidered a little less dramatic and more light hearted, but if you love one then you will assurdedly enjoy the other. 

Skip Beat! and Nana have the same storyline and have the same kinda genre (romance and drama). They both have a main female characters who were left behind by their boyfriends, and want to get revenge by becoming famous. Both are struggling to achieve their goals. Nana is more about music, while Skip Beat is more about acting. I'd prefer Nana though, but Skip Beat is also okay. 

Both Nana's (NANA) and Kyoko (Skip Beat!) are trying to move up in the world with their careers, as well as finding love along the way. 

Both series contain a female protagonist who is strong minded and trying to make their dream into a reality. Both series has tons of comedy, drama, and romance. While Nana is more of the mature side, Skip Beat also has its serious moments in the stage of showbiz. Ultimately, it deals with characters growing up and learning how to get through life. These two series are quite enjoyable for those into the more dramatic side of anime as they shows that explicitly every episode through its execution.  

Both are entertainment related stories with romance in it,strong punkish female leads and also lots of great art and character designs and great music as well too. 

I think Skip beat is an underrated shoujo anime, if you like shoujo and you love Nana i highly recommend you to watch Skip beat and also read the manga, both of them are romance, slice of life but Skip beat is more funny and has more comedy.S Its about a girl who wants to become an actress to take revenge on her ex boyfriend who is an Idol.  

Lovely Complex and Skip Beat! are similar in the sense that they aren't cliche shoujo titles. The main female lead in Lovely Complex has a funny personality and the one in Skip Beat also has an entertaining personality that anyone can enjoy watching. The plots are different. Lovely Complex is more focused on romance than Skip Beat, but both are worth watching just because they are not cliche, and both female leads has a rocking personality, even though both of them have different types of rocking personalities =). 

Both stories feature a totally hilarious, but completely insane leading girl and have the same type of humour. Also, they both have that kinda fuzzy romantic cuteness...  

Both series are hilarious. Each one is about a relation between two persons. These people are so far but so close together that you discover how pleased this relationship will evolve, and in many cases we will laugh at the situation. 2 great animes. 

If you like the humor in Lovely Complex then you might just as well like the Humor in skip beat ^^! They are both very funny! Both Lovely complex and Skip beat are rated as : Comedy, Shoujo and romance (on Animeseason.com they also rate both anime's as being slapstick) Some people might think the artstyle in Skip Beat might not be pretty (To be honest I think so too). but the story is fantastic, the characters are very original/ they have very well made personalities and the humor is awsome ^^! I really recommend it ! The first episode might seem very girly and not very original but have patience! the first episode is more or less the trigger to everything that will happen afterwards and in the end of the first episode somthing happens that will change the story and the main character ! so dont judge the anime by the first episode! (I recommand to watch AT LEAST 2 episodes) Hope anyone out there will give Skip Beat a chance ^w^! read more 

these are both HILARIOUS. they both have an outgoing main character and the artist isnt afraid of making the main character make faces. and theyre both really good 

- Both Lovely Complex and Skip Beat! have a great sense of humor. - They have extremely likable, easily pissed off MC's. - Watching just kind of makes you happy. - They're FUN without being stupid. Most of the time. - The romance in them feels honest, like it would have happened even without you watching, if that makes any sense.  

both female leads have a strong personality, are likeable & quite humorous. their interactions with their respective male counterparts are also similar- often viewed as comic relief to the people around them (basically gag) yet they have an interesting and layered dynamic to them (there's more than what meets the eye). lastly, the overall ambience is fun, lighthearted, and easy to enjoy! if you like one of them, i guarantee that high chances are you'll probably like the other 

Both anime's portray a deep sense of passion and desire for following through with your dreams. In both the main girls must overcome obstacle after obstacle pushing themselves forward, befriending and competing with there rivals, and inevitably, making it to the top. They are both fun and very uplifting and make a great watch for any fan of one of the series. 

both people are new in their area of show biz. Although for different reasons they're really passionate about their performances. They have the same character progression and meeting talented people along the way. if you like one you'll like the other. 

Both are shoujo series that follow a plucky, spirited young girl through her career in show business. Through hard work and her never-give-up attitude, she perseveres to become a star in her industry and forms many complicated relationships along the way. Skip Beat has a developing romantic relationship, while Kaleido Star focuses more on friendship and rivalries between the performers both on and off the stage. 

Different styles but the protagonists hold the same strength and will within them. They do not writhe in the face of difficulty, and even have the time to cheer up for those around them. Comedy is far more highlighted in Skip Beat! but through different abilities both stories work within the entertainment world and the hardships to reach the top between other competitors.  

Kaleidor Star is similar with Skip Beat in main characters. Girls, who have a big dream that smoothly switches into a big aim, realize it step by step. They're growing professionally during the plot despite some failures. They have difficulties on their paths and sometimes feel down but they don't give up and diligently go ahead. 

both stories are focused around entertainment and also an mc going through alot and still is determined to go through the challenges no matter what. 

Skip Beat and Special A are extremely similar. Both of the girls have a goal to either become better than/ get respect from the one male character which happens to be perfect. They're VERY competitive and never back down. When is comes to romance, they fail to notice that they're in love. When it comes to comedy, I'd say that Special A is more on the funnier side, as to where Skip Beat has more serious/sad moments to it~ 

They are somehow similar because the main girls don't know what means love, they have a rival, the boys were the girls' childhood friends and both the stories have comedy.  

Both heroines are strong and independent characters. If you liked how funny skip beat was you'll definitely enjoy special a. Also, much of the audience for special a was more satisfied with its ending than that of skip beat's ending. Its a good combination of comedy and romance! :] 

They both have a strong female leader that doesn't give up and always is fighting to obtain what she wants. The comedy is also similar and the same for the male lead that have arrogance and incredible talents making him a rival or role model. 

Another romance series with a motivated female protagonist who is being pursued by the boy. Also a cozy anime. 

The lead female role is also as powerful as skip beat and of course, there are funny moments that are memorable. 

-Both of the female protagonists used to weak, but developed into confident and strong characters. -They were betrayed by their loved one, and sought revenge. -While Akatsuki no Yona is more of an adventure anime, Skip Beat is about the acting and the entertainment industry. -They throw in a bit of romance here and there (but not all the time) Both are great animes to watch if you're a rom-com fan. 

Love, betrayal, and revenge. These feelings become the driving force behind Yona and Kyoko's development. By being betrayed by those they cared most, Yona and Kyoko embark on a journey to essentially plot their revenge. Initially seen as weak, delusional, and sheltered, both female protagonist strive to make changes in their life. Through the course of their journey, trustworthy friendships are formed, including new love interests (which Yona and Kyoko are oblivious to). Courage and strength are slowly gained by the female protagonists, but during moments of doubt and weakness, they are support immensely by the male leads. Both series does a great job to straying from typical shoujo tropes, while addressing them in a comedic fashion. In today's swarm of anime, it is quite rare to find shoujo anime that stray from the "harem-esque" vibe, making these two series extremely refreshing and different to watch. read more 

I swear to god, this anime is the SAME SHIT as Skip Beat. Both of the main characters (Yona and Kyoko) start off as pussies who are weak as shit, and essentially dedicate their lives to a guy that they've fallen for (Su-won and Sho). PLOT TWIST, both of these guys are certified cunts and only want to use the main character for their own benefit. MC realises she's an independent woman™ and is now dedicating her life to revenge. But, we never find out if they end up achieving their goal because they both have B U L L S H I T 'go read the manga' endings. ffs  read more 

Ok now bare with me on this one: Similarities: +both are Reverse Harems (although skip beat typically isn't seen as a reverse harem so this is more my opinion on this one) +both have someone betray/ use them and swear to get over it by becoming stronger. +this is a small thing, but they both have a sort of smart side character that sort of shakes their head when one of the main love interest's feelings are not conveyed. This guy is the smart planning type of person. I won't say who these characters are, but maybe after watching the two series, you'll also come to the same conclusion +the main love interest can not convey his emotions to the girl, Differences +Akatsuki no Yona's setting is set in the past +Yona is treated like royalty all her life while Kyoko was of low-class status +in Akatsuki no Yona the boys around treat her lovingly and look out for her. While in Skip beat one of the primary love interests practically hates her for a long time. +in skip beat when Kyoko plans to get stronger after being betrayed, her means of doing so is through acting. while Yona seeks more physical and mental strength, as well as the power to help her people and gathering the "dragons" to do all this. +Kyoko isn't as mellow per say as Yona is? She gets really angry sometimes while Yona would probably get depressed. That's not saying that Yona is not a strong character, it is just that she gets stronger over time. While Kyoko is immediately strong due to hatred towards the one that has betrayed her, Yona is strong when she cares for someone else or knows she has to something for the benefit of the whole. +driving force behind the plot Yona of Akatsuki no Yona: to protect herself Kyoko of Skip Beat: for revenge Hopefully, this was helpful. read more 

Both anime share an engaging, on-the-edge-of-your-seat storyline. Both are also very enjoyable. Both are also comedies. Both shows are well paced, knowing when to be dramatic, romantic, or funny, and making it seem natural when they do.  

Skip Beat and Full Moon wo Sagashite both are about the idol world, romance, comedy, and are both a shoujo anime. Skip Beat is not as lengthy and doesn't have fillers like Full Moon wo Sagashite, which is a plus. Full Moon wo Sagashite is directed toward children, but Skip Beat is more for the young adult. Another similarity is that the main characters both have love issues. 

I loved both animes very much, and they have some similar themes. Both girls want to become famous so that they can reach out to someone they love/loved. In Skip Beat, Kyoko (the main female character) wants to get famous so that she can get revenge on the guy she formally loved. Still, both Full Moon wo Sagishite and Skip Beat have very interesting, different storylines from the typical shoujo. Even the characters are very unique and spunky. 

Both of these animes have to do with a girl trying to reach their goals in show biz. They both made me laugh and kept me in tune with the characters very well. I love the fact that they were driven by their emotions and kept competing when things might have seem down. Full Moon has a very innocent and sweet approach, while Skip Beat has a more funny and eccentric way to look at it. If magic-girl animes aren't your cup of tea, Skip beat will definitely please you with a more realistic trip. (Oh, and don't forget both had awesome songs) 

both stories are focused around the entertainment industry and has a female mc going through no matter what the cost they go through as well as also a focus on romance in it as well too. 

Admirable female protagonists that strive to become stars in the showbiz industry despite how cruel and unfair life has treated them. 

They're both about a girl who wants something to do with music.The difference is that in skip Beat Kyoko did it for revenge and in Uta no Prince-Sama Haruka wants to write a song for a idol who indirectly helped Her out. The both have a guy named Ren and Shou though i don't think The ones in Uta no Prince-Sama are rivals. Their Both really good. 

Skip Beat and Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ Maji Love 1000% are very similar in that they share the same type of alluring call to those who are trying to make it big. Although I'd say that the artwork in Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ Maji Love 1000% is much better than Skip Beat, I enjoyed Skip Beat's plot much more (Although be warned that it doesn't really have much of an ending) 

The main character tries to get to show business. 

Similarities 1 Both are about singing music and Film industry 2 Hard ships faced by MC to achieve their dreams 3 Slice of life, lighthearted, and a slow paced anime 4 Romance and love 5 Both animes features the life of Celebrities (Uta no prince is much much beater then skip beat....skip beat was kinda lame but uta no prince is a good anime )  

Both are in the show business and find "love' in the show biz. Both female leads bring out the best in one another.  

they are both about the entertainment world.. kirarin revolution is about a girl who fall in love at 1st sight making her aim to be an idol to become close to the guy she loves.. skip beat is about a girl who devotes all her life for her childhood love that eventually making use at her that makes her so angry she aim to join the entertainment world to make revenge.. both.. as the story goes on they become happy being an idol and they both make there best for their fans.. 

Both plots are very similar. Both main characters want to be popstars because of a guy popstar and actually are great at being a popstar. They love the popstar who they joined fame for, but ending falling for the other male popstar they meet. Skip beat is like the grown up version of Kirarin Revolution. 

both the main females have the same attitude, all in the series are very similar.  

Kirarin is younger, but the show business theme is still similar. I did like Skip Beat better. 

Anime where the MC is a nobody at first, but then decides to turn into an actor to pave their way through the entertainment industry as a way to seek revenge. Both MCs are outstanding in their acting as well, surprising others.  

In terms of rivalry between potential actresses, dark secrets of showbiz, deep seated desires for seeking revenge and love triangles, both anime are considerably similar. Skip Beat has a wider universe regarding the plays created in each arc, while Oshi no Ko is stronger in terms of character designs and animations with today's technology. However both of them focus on the challenges faced by the main leads and their breathtaking performances. 

Both are about entering, learning, and taking over the entertainment industry. Both stories also start with revenge, while Skip beat is more light hearted, Oshi no ko is more dark and has strings to a murder mastery. Both animes have themes of self discovery as well.  

Both shows focus on entertainement industry, especially Skip Beat leans more on the acting side. Bith protagonist seek revenge though in different ways but u can say very similar ways. Both have kind of romance hints.  

The general feeling is quite similar, although the animation is very different. Both star female main character who have a troubling past, but are still able to cover up their lies to focus on their tasks. As the series progress, you really get to know how these characters think and feel. Also, both series are very similar in the way they suddenly change from outrageously funny to deadly serious. Handkerchiefs recommended. 

the both are about secret loves and a good storyline. 

- Both main characters are female, extremely hard working, and oblivious to the love of others. - Both main characters have in some way lost their family at a young age - Both main characters are good at cooking Dissimilarities: - Fruits Basket lies in the fantasy genre as well as real life whereas Skip Beat! is pure reality - Fruits Basket is with normal people (as far as status goes - not counting the supernatural, obviously) - Skip Beat! deals with celebrities - the entertainment business (movies not THAT you dirty people!) 

Both animes have storys about the growth of strong and dynamic characters that work through lifes struggles together. Skip Beat is more realistic but equally as deep and thought provoking. 

Another strong female lead who is just trying to follow her dreams and fulfill her goals.  

Kyouko and Chihaya are similar; both have a love triangle; both pursue their dreams. 

Making a dream into a reality is no easy task and in both of these series, the heroine tries to achieve that dream. There's plenty of comedy and drama in both of these anime(s) but yet, there are also emotional plots thrown in as well. The heroine are also similar in personality and is involved in a love triangle.  

In an fashion almost reminiscent of shounen, both utilize sports-like pursuits as vehicles of individual character growth, while handling those individuals' consequent relationships with each other with a level of sensitivity that frequently comes with shoujo. Both took me for rides I was very willing to be taken on. 

They both have female leads. The animation is similar. The comedy is similar as when the characters change into different "modes".  

The story is very different, but the premise and ideas around both these stories are very similar. If you're looking for a decently strong female character in a story and a bit of romance, then these are for you. 

The female protagonists are very similar and actually have the same seiyou. They both face many challenges to be the best in their profession but they never give up and work hard to achieve their goals. They are strong, funny and yet vulnerable all at the same time. The relationships they enter into with the male characters are also great because they develop more naturally over time. They are not sappy or fake but there is a lovely tenderness and protectiveness towards one another that was great and heartfelt. So overall witty and lovable characters, great storises, nice artwork..  

It is similar in the relation that the protagonists possess, with exepcion of that these it tells the history of this one it develops mas rapidly. 

They're both about romance and slice of life. You will like both of these Anime as much as you will like one of them. 

Skip beat and Itazura na kiss are both Romantic comedies that will leave you wanting for more. Heartthrobbing and sweet moments are definitely to wiggle and giggle for. Both guys in the series are really in demand and wanted bishounens by their all-out female admirers. 

both main femaile charachters are strong willed, interesting, funny and amazing. Boh main male characters are handsome but cold guys, untill their codness goes away, thanks to our heroines. Both are incredible, both girls have one-sided love at the beginning. U won't regret watching it! 

Good comedy and romance. protagonisata two very hardworking and determined. a little awkward but persistent! 

Both are romance shoujo series in which main characters aspire to become famous and succeed in show business. They are full of character development, and challenges heroines go trough tend to overshadow romantic aspects of series, significantly more in Skip Beat.  

Both love stories. Its been a while since I watched Paradise Kiss so I cant remember that well, but I do remember that its great. and I liked the feeling. I had same emotions watching Skip Beat! and Paradise Kiss. Skip Beat! makes you laugh and wonder why the characters are so stupid, but in a funny way.The anime has been done in a great way. (You have probably watched Skip Beat! if you have watched Paradise Kiss... but still) Skip Beat! makes you fall in love with the characters and you cant help, but to continue watching. I have watched Skip Beat! several times and its not even my favorite anime. Skip Beat! has only 1 S and 25ep. And the series doesen't come to a satisfying closure, but gladly we have the manga that keeps on continuing still. (Skip Beat! is enjoyable and great even if you dont read the manga.)  read more 

Both are very similar, though Paradise Kiss is a lot better in my opinion. Both have to do with a tryhard girl who wants to make it in the fashion/entertainment business...and are jaded by the people around them. 

The main character has other dreams besides acting. He/she does not think about pursuing the entertainment industry until he/she is influenced by someone. In Love Stage!!, it's Izumi's parents. In Skip Beat!, it's Kyoko's ex-boyfriend. Both characters experience drawbacks and gradually get better as an actor. They have a popular actor as a love interest, who also plays a part in their past somehow. Love Stage! reveals the romantic history in full, while Skip Beat! doesn't elaborate and leaves a cliffhanger. 

Well, in Skip Beat! and Love Stage!!, both of the main characters are involved with show biz somehow. At the beginning both of the main characters (Ren and Kyoko, then it's Izumi and Ryouma) don't really like each other but the relationship grows. One of the main differences is that 1. this is Yaoi 2. Izumi doesn't want to be in show biz but ends up in it, while Kyoko wanted to go in (although it was just to get revenge). If you enjoyed Skip Beat and you don't mind Yaoi, then you should definitely watch Love Stage!! 

The story of both series center around female leads with strong character and unwavering determination to accomplish their goals. Most of the people in the show including their potential love interests, who continuously help them out reach their goals, are drawn to their character and charisma. The character design of Skip Beat might put you off but please consider it. Both are among the good shoujos out there.  

Both have some very strong and very detirmenined to meet their goals no matter what is thrown at their way lead female mcs and both have quite a bit of romance elements in the story as well too. 

A socially challenged girl becomes much more social after gaining a little motivation and some help from an overly popular guy. The reactions to gaining friends is similar, "oh so this is what having a friend is like". They first only strive tobe accepted by the guy and eventually gain more romantic feelings for him. They also both have overly optimistic opinions of people at first. 

Kimi Ni Todoke and Skip Beat are both a slice of life. They both have have some hilarious moments. But have some deep moments aswell.^^ and the Main character in the animes is troubled with something and is brighting up her future. They both are under quite the same surcomstance. You will enjoy both of them! 

Both MC's change their lives and appearance after being rejected by their crush and start on a path to get their revenge 

Story line is most similar. MC in skip beat tries to get revenge on her ex. MC in Masamune revenge tries to get revenge on a girl who rejected him. Both are pretty funny 

Two male celebrities are mean to the female lead 

With two male characters in the idol industry and a female lead from the country trying to survive in the big city. There are quite a few parallels that can be drawn between these two shows. However how the female leads get to this point and what drives them are different and the drive behind Hiyori’s character and Kyoko’s character are what will shape the plot and character interactions and is where you will see differences between the shows. 

Both are romcoms with female characters which display alternate versions of themselves... *hard to describe 

the main heroines both have twisted personalities that make them seem crazy but they still care deeply for other people. Comical 

Nodame Cantabile and Skip Beat! are very similar in a lot of different aspects. they both have a main character who is an awkward wall flower. they both strive to become a professional actor or musician and their passion in their work breaks through as inspirational! they both have a love interest- although Skip Beat!'s interest is not as obvious as Nodame Cantabile,and is also less shown. but it is stated that its there. either one are both something to look into. :D 

I've always found these two parallel in their ways of showing deep psychological aspects of various professions: one is about musicians, the other is about acting technique. 

While Skip Beat and Kamisama Hajimemashita may not have a lot in common at first glance, they do have many similarities. Both shows are romantic, comedies that focus on a female lead that works for a goal, despite the fact that many of the people around her try to discourage her for her lack of experience. Both series have drama and romance, and take time to build it.  

Both are 'romance' comedies with strong determined female leads that have eccentric personalities. Both characters have an inner dramatic/comedic battle with their emotions. In Skip Beat, Kyoko's desire for revenge conflicts with her love of acting. In Romantic Killer, Anzu resists Riri's romantic schemes due to her desire to get her cat, games and chocolates back. Both Kyoko and Anzu have over-the-top personalities and hilarious inner dialogues. I didn't think I could find another character that makes me laugh like Kyoko, but I find Anzu just as relatable.  

Both Stories about underdog models fighting for success 

Both are about people trying to make it in show biz.  

I'm shocked how these two are not recommended more...Princess Jellyfish is better in my opinion but both are really similar about a femcell otaku girls who are tryna make it in the world. Except Skip Beat is about Show biz and Kuragehime is about fashion. 

Both focus on a ya cast including a female mc and have a entertainment industry theme and dream achievement dream as well too. Also quite a bit of romance in it as well too. 

La Corda Doro is more reverse harem than Skip Beat!, but if you like skip beat you should give it chance. 

The relations between girls and boys from the animes are a bit similar, as well as their way of behaving. 

Both focus on a young mc hellbent on revenge as well as lots of nice art and stylish character designs too.
