If you liked Ne-to-ge add

...then you might like Sword Art Online add

You're probably wondering, "What the hell is this guy thinking, recommending porn?" Well, if you're not interested in porn in general you can skip over this recommendation. Now that that's taken care of, if you've read SAO and enjoyed the VRMMORPG aspect of it and want some porn along those lines, try Ne.To.Ge. The first 75% of the tank has a continuous narrative. (Yes, that's right, porn with plot!) There's actual character development and romance going on. Hell, the characters also age. It's really quite impressive in its own right. (Keep in mind hentai often favors art over substance.) I'm not selling it short on the art side, by any means. The art is fantastic, too. If you read Ne.To.Ge. and are looking for a bigger story centered around VRMMORPGs, try SAO. It's great. It also has the infamous 18+ chapters (that were published online, not included in the physical novel), so you also get some raunchiness in case you're still up for that.

If you liked Berserk add

...then you might like Devilman add

Well I'll refrain myself from spoiling the two (Spoilers for decades old manga? Surely everyone already knows the spoilers) Miura himself claims he's a big fan of Go Nagai and had influences from his manga. As for the manga: Both have deep roots in mythology and share a great deal of themes. Among them: friendship, corruption, and betrayal. If you only read the first Devilman series you might see the similarities with Berserk and also notice the major turning point of both series are very much alike. The more of Devilman you read the more and more similarities you'll notice. The characters: Akira/Amon and Guts: Both (at some point or another) sacrifice some of their humanity to become stronger. (It's spoilers to say, but the more you read of each the more similarities you'll pick up) Several characters and Caska: If you read Devilman and the backstories you notice Caska is a combination of several traits of the woman present in the Devilman series. Also, the relationship between the main character and the "best friend" can occasionally (and in some cases undeniably) be described as homosexual in nature (one could argue against this but no matter the case the bonds extend far beyond comradery and friendship). There are plenty of actions both "best friends" take out of jealousy over the main character's affections. Read more into both series and you'll find them.

If you liked Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu add

...then you might like Ben-To add

The comedy is fairly similar. The "weak" protagonist (really, it's just that everyone else is too strong) is often subjected to physical punishment. In Baka Test it's getting his butt handed to him in summoning fights and by tsunderes, while in Ben-To he gets his ass kicked plain and simple... over food. (Don't worry though, they both overcome their underdog status in their own way) They also both have a sort-of stalker who's weak to romace cliches. A male in BakaTest, a female in Ben-To. Also, they're also both poor, starving students. The difference is the protagonist of Ben-To isn't "the dumbest idiot around".

If you liked Seitokai no Ichizon add

...then you might like Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai add

The two are very similar in terms of comedy. Parodies galore and plenty of boke-tsukkomi dynamic. The characters roles are swapped, however. Ken actively makes an effort to make the girls part of his harem, even announcing it to them. He puts up with a lot of work so they can have fun, for the sake of cute girls being cute and happy. He acts as the boke to the girls' tsukkomi. Kodaka would rather avoid them as they're always causing him trouble, though he can't help but put up with them. He puts up with their attitudes so they can have fun for the sake of "friendship". He acts as the tsukkomi to the girls' boke.

If you liked Kanojo wa Kannou Shousetsuka add

...then you might like Sore ga Kanojo no Seigi nara add

The protagonist helps a woman with her erotic novels by doing what the novel contains. Romance is involved, though Kanojo wa Kanno Shosetsuka is between author and editor while Sore ga Kanojo no Seigi nara is between the author's daughter and the son of a family friend.

If you liked Samurai Deeper Kyou add

...then you might like Trigun Maximum add

Vash and Kyo are fairly similar individuals. Both have powerful sides, while their outward sides are peaceful (albeit perverted) goofballs. They even preach "LOVE AND PEACE!" Also, both have girls who initially follow them due to the ludicrous bounty on their head, but gradually come to care for them. Keep in mind Trigun is the more peaceful episodic part while Maximum is the "serious business" continuation.

Both of them have dark humor, dealing with death, grotesque abominations and the like. Both of them also have "just desserts" situations, where those who do wrong often get their karmatic retribution.

If you liked NHK ni Youkoso! add

...then you might like Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko add

Now I know what you're thinking. What similarities could a show about cute yet crazy girls and SHAFT antics and a show about distressed individuals and dark comedy possibly have? When you look past the design choices they actually have plenty of similarities. Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko begins with Matoko moving in with his aunt and cousin. Erio is detached from the world, traumatized by some prior experience. He vows to gradually ease Erio back into society. Welcome to the NHK begins with Satou, a depressed hikkikomori, and his pathetic life. Prone to drug abuse (which the anime excludes), he has hallucinations and illusions of grandeur, not unlike Erio's fascination with being an alien. Misaki acts as his guide on his way to reintroduction to society. All of the characters in both series have their own issues which are touched upon. The shows also both include plenty of parody and referential humor. The first season of Denpa (if it ever gets more) only strays into the cutesy side of the story. It has yet to get into the real meat of the novels, while NHK explores it far more.

If you liked Ookami to Koushinryou add

...then you might like Maoyuu Maou Yuusha: 'Kono Ware no Mono to Nare, Yuusha yo' 'Kotowaru!' add

Both series heavily feature economics, and both economies are of similar setting (villages and farms). The dynamic between Hero and Demon Queen is similar to the dynamic between Lawrence and Holo/Horo, though Hero doesn't have a formal education thus must follow along as opposed to offering his own opinion like Lawrence. There is banter in both, and lots of dialogue. When it comes to book knowledge of economics, Demon Queen is ahead (Holo/Horo has a more "street smarts" approach. Lawrence goes by the book). When it comes to interpersonal matters, Holo/Horo has more experience (Demon Queen is very naive when it comes to romantic relationships).

If you liked Ikemasen Ojousama! add

...then you might like Velvet Kiss add

In order to pay off debt, the Main Character must spend time with a woman. Gradually the women fall in love with the Main Character. Velvet Kiss is more serious and a 1on1 relationship. Ikemasen Ojousama! is drama-less happy harem sex.

If you liked Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu add

...then you might like Tonari no Kashiwagi-san add

A boy discovers that the idol of the school is a secret otaku. He befriends her and helps her become more accepting of her otaku ways. The difference is the male MC in "Tonari" is more of an otaku, while the male in "Nogizaka" (so far) is limited to casual manga reading. Also, the female lead in "Nogizaka" is wealthy (complete with maids), while the female lead in "Tonari" seems to be of average income.

If you liked Seitokai no Ichizon add

...then you might like Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai add

The main characters are vastly different (one aims to make a harem out of the girls, the other, to completely avoid them). However, the two manga share much in common. The male lead is surrounded by girls that constantly tease him, and he is left to pick up the slack. The group's antics are gag-filled, with plenty of boke-tsukkomi dynamic. Also, the two feature a lot of parodies.

If you liked Seitokai Yakuindomo add

...then you might like Fujimura-kun Mates add

A lone male Tsukkomi, who once lived a peaceful life, is dragged into a (mostly female) world of boke. Some of the girls have a crush on the lead male, though he is oblivious. Both have sexual jokes, though varying in "maturity level".
