Ouran Koukou Host Club

Hanazakari no Kimitachi e addpermalink

Both have incredible comical aspects to the stories as well as a slight incorporation of drama. Additionally, they're both based during the main actresses' high school days. And, well, the main protagonists cross-dress, and are admired by main male students. Really, both stories have similar plots except Hana-Kimi is driven with one major goal while Ouran continues many episodes of stories that seem to not lead to a major plot ending as of yet, at least. Both are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for the comedy and just overall amazingness of each story.

Both are gender-blender manga, involving the heroine masquerading as a boy and living amongst beautiful bishounen. The only difference is that in Ouran, the host club know that she is a girl (but the customers don't ^_^) and in Hana-Kimi, only a couple people know. However, both are extremely well-written and a great read!

Both Hana-Kimi and Ouran have reverse harem romance setup and quite funny. I would say ~75% of Hana-Kimi is humor. There is more romance in Hana-Kimi than in Ouran, but the main plot lines follow a female pretending to be male and several key characters knowing her true identity. The main heroine in Hana-Kimi is a strong independent young women who are also very kind and great friends to the other main characters. Both tales are heart warming and revolve around school life. Hana-Kimi is highly recommended if you enjoyed Ouran!

In both series, the main feamale character cross dress as a boy and go about without anyone knowing. In Ouran, she didn't intend to look like a boy until she is forced to, due to a debt she owes. In Hana-Kimi, she purposely cross dresses to enter an all boys school, just to see her idol and pursuade him to re-start his dream. They are both HILARIOUS and has romance. I remember laughing all the time in those series. Both my favorites. When you finish reading them, you will feel such loss, but glad that the series is filled with funny, romantic, and fun parts. I REALLY enjoyed reading them. HIGHLY recommend them.  read more

Both mangas centre around a cross-dressing female protagonist, who find themselves surrounded by males. The cross-dressing becomes the central plotline to both mangas issuing their own problems. A slight difference, however, is the level of romance: Hana-Kimi focuses more on the romantic feelings of Mizuki, whereas Ouran weighs towards Haruhi's friendships and development into romance. Each manga left me laughing for the absurd yet relatable situations the characters find themselves in. Both mangas have their own distinctive set of characters which makes it hard not to fall in love with. Though they both give the comedic punch, they each are able to tackle with the more serious problems that arise. Lovers of shoujo manga will no doubt fall for one if they have read the other.  read more

Both stories are of a 'reverse harem' nature.  But while Ouran has a 'Host Club' about making girls happy by ways of acting romantical, in Beauty Pop they have a 'Scissors Project' club to make girls happy by giving them a new outward appearance; haircut, manicure and makeup styles.  
Both stories are captivating and intriguing, making you interested in what adventures will take place for these popular clubs.  Both of the female leads are intelligent and somewhat blunt, but romance comes along for both of them along the way. It happens lot faster in Ouran than in Beauty Pop, but it is very enjoyable either way. read more

Very similar type of main girl and also similar type of guys. The situation's the same too. It's a reverse harem with one girl being the centre of the boys.  

reportRecommended by tikuku

While reading both mangas some points can be distinctly pointed out for example,
-Similar characterization, both the protagonists have a coherent and ‘I don’t give a damn’ attitude and rest of the characters are also very similar be it humorous, hyper or just plain evil.
-Both the male protagonists are rich and start their own wacky yet popular club. They also ‘rise above’ their own superiors like parents or grandparents.
 -The comical fathers with their never-ending teasing.
-Both female Protagonists are brave yet they are scared of trivial things like the 'thunder' or ‘cockroaches’.
-They both have Clubs that makes an impact on majority of the female population of the school
Overall, it seems that both of the manga have an almost similar plot line (albeit the fact that “Beauty Pop” concentrates on hairstyling more) however, both manga have their own unique way of showing the sentiments. This lighthearted romantic comedy in many ways resembles “Ouran High School Host Club" with times that make you want to laugh real hard, times that put you in the edge, times that makes you all teary and not to mention the overwhelming feeling of love and friendship that comes around in the later chapters.

Ouran Koukou Host Club and Beauty Pop are most similar in their lovable group of eccentric boys and their reserved FL. Both of the FL's are forced/join (I guess the Beauty FL wasn't forced, but it took a lot of convincing) into a club with the schools resident handsome and rich boys. The major differences lie in the main activity of both manga. Ouran Koukou Host Club is about, as the name suggests a host club. Whereas Beauty Pop is about hair dressing and makeovers. Both stories give quite similar vibes when reading while maintaining originality. For example, Ouran Koukou Host Club focuses more on the romance and slice of life aspects, where Beauty Pop has a large focus on competiton. Both having large comedy aspects.  read more

Well, I haven't thoroughly tested this out, but somewhere in Volume 8 or Gokuraku Seishun Hockey Club I thought, I wonder if this is an intentional parody of Ouran High School Host Club?  At least some of the time, anyway. Ouran is certainly famous enough to be parodied. There's a girl forced into a boy's club, which is totally unlike the Ouran Host Club, but the male members are rich, there is a set of twins, there's the glasses-wearing intellectual type, and there's a pretty boy (OK, he's not as short as Hunny).  The heroine is somewhat odd and somewhat detached, too. The purpose of the club seems to be somewhat ill-defined in both cases. At one point the leader of the club announces a plan for the club to take on the noble cause of getting a prince to stop hating Japan, very much like Tamaki takes on noble causes. In any case, it's not a close parody.  I mean, Ouran is itself a parody of other things.  But it's fun to think about.  You can look for your own similarities and differences.  read more

These two series have a remarkably similar setup.  You have the girl character who isn't especially girly, but somehow ends up attracting the attention of a super-rich guy who then decides the girl should join his all-boy club.  In Ouran, it's the Host Club, in Gokuraku it's the Hockey Club.  Both clubs have similar characters, the twins, and the evil guy in the glasses.  And both are something of a reverse harem even though the female characters aren't especially interested in getting with any of the boys.

This manga is almost exactly like OHSHC, except its more cracked out (and a bit more humorous in my opinion.)  It takes all the flaws that Ouran has/had and fixes them up into a very lovely manga all its own.

It centres around a girl who gets roped into playing for a Ground Hockey team because they don't have enough members.  She does it as sort of a favor for being hit by the idiotic male protagonists limo driver.

The fact that the hockey club rarely plays hockey and is usually just their private entertainment club is funny too.  The characters are really similar too, their is the prince type leader, a megane character, twins and a pretty guy, so the set up is quite similar, almost like a parody of it. read more

They both have strong female leads who are indifferent to the boy's affection and they both involve school clubs.   Both female characters also have a secret / split life which the guy uses in a sort of nice form of ammunition.   Both have animes adaptions as well which are really good.  Usui is the "prince" type character from a family which controls him and the fact that he is very talented also makes him similar to Takumi.

Once you read both series it becomes very clear that the author of Kaichou was VERY heavily inspired by Ouran Host Club. In addition to both having strong female leads, both have very similar plot twists. Both use the idea of a host club dynamic- In Kaichou, it's a Maid Cafe, but both groups enjoy having special cosplay events. 

The art and humor in both is similar, although in my opinion Ouran is a far more polished and refined manga than Kaichou.  

reportRecommended by Amberleh

What happens when you put a strong-willed girl with a bunch of guys? If you're curious, then Kaichou wa Maid-sama and Ouran should spark interest when it comes to relationship tropes. Both series adapts a school life setting where the main female character develops various relationships with others. In particular, the main male protagonist is known for their popularity but has a rocky start with the girl. Romance is inevitable as development is focused on their relationship overtime. Both series are also known for its other sub-plots that connects its various characters. Also, expect a decent amount of comedy and gags.

Both of them same the almost similar kind of story. If Kaichou wa Maid-Sama! tells us about maids, Ouran Koukou Host Club tells us about the host.

The female protagonist also shares the same characteristic. Both tells us Mizaki ( Kaichou wa Maid-Sama! ) and Haruhi ( Ouran Koukou Host Club ) work so hard not to depend on someone else. Even they can be so cold to another. 

The male protagonist have the same characteristic too. Both of these mangas describe a perfect prince to our Usui ( Kaichou wa Maid-Sama! ) and Tamaki ( Ouran Koukou Host Club ). But, Ouran Koukou Host Club has slower relationship story between our two protagnist than Kaichou wa Maid-Sama!

They also have the same characteristic of arts.

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

Otomen addpermalink

I can certainly see similarities between both of these, so I reckon it would be likely for fans of one to like the other. Here's why ~

Both Ouran and Otomen spend a lot of time poking fun at common shoujo clichés and tropes whilst also utilising them to their potential bests, making for a funny, fluffy and usually light-hearted read. 

They also both like to place a lot of focus on questioning and parodying gender stereotypes. Haruhi is a girl who doesn't very much care about anyone's gender - not even her own - and whilst Asuka certainly cares about being as masculine as possible, he often fails and finds himself caving into his 'girlier' desires. 

Whilst they're both very different characters in their own ways, they both have issues with the way gender is perceived and the stereotypes associated with it, and a lot of the supporting cast share these views at points, whether to a greater or lesser degree.

It's also notable that they're both primarily comedies, and whilst both do have their darker moments, neither ever quite seems to lose its lighthearted touch (up to where I've read, anyway).

Kanojo ga Cafe ni Kayou Wake addpermalink

What drew my attention to Kanojo ga Cafe ni Kayou Wake at first was how similar the situation was to Ouran High School Host Club, in which I've already started reading awhile ago. Both feature the main female protagonist being mistaken as boy who gets roped in to serving people after an unfortunate accident. Although, both manga plays on the ironic situation the main character is in, Great Waiters is more mellow than Host Club which seems mostly comedic. 

Haruhi (Host Club) is forced to work as an host club member after braking a vase worth 8 million yen. Eisei (Great Waiters) is employed at a cafe as a waiter after falling in love with another waiter that she knocked into spilling drinks. The main characters personalities are slightly different as that Haruhi acts like a boy but looks more feminine and kinda dense about love. However, Eisei strongly resembles a guy though she hardly acts like one most of the time. 

Soon both girls are found out, but they still play the roles of a male throughout the series. In both manga the female character falls in love with the main male character who likes them regardless of how they look like on the outside. Unlike Host Club, that is a couple volumes longer, Great Waiters is short and sweet but will probably leave you wishing it was longer.

A main difference between Host Club and Great Waiters is the main focus of the Great Waiters would change each chapter but the main characters will still be around. It's another reason I like Great Waiters more than Host Club since it's like a new story each chapter to take in. read more

(except from the 'oni' thing) As the series goes on you'll also notice a very, very similar point in their personalities! No spoilers here but if you liked one, you'll definetely like the other for the TAMAKI-NESS/SOUJI-NESS!

Eden no Trill addpermalink

If you liked Ouran High School Host Club then try Eden no Trill,  its a shoujo mangaby the mangaka of Platinium Garden,  that is newer in translation but there are a lot of similarities.   The male characters really remind me of the other series ( at least in looks ) and the fact that they are rich and in a special domitory with upscale features.   Both male leads play the piano and are gifted and talented but also do whatever they want.     The girl is pressured into a bargain at the school.    The female characters are pretty different and have different circumstances but I think that it will be enjoyable for fans of the other series,  I however don't see it being as comical or hillarious as Ouran, its more dramatic.  read more

I don't know why no one else recommends this because Shiawase Kissa Sanchoume and Ouran High School Host Club are so similar! 
- First off, both are reverse harem with tons of handsome guys :) 
- The protagonists, Haruhi and Uru both have this bright and optimistic aura that seems to draw out smiles and happiness in other characters (and myself). 
- Both protagonists are also very dense/oblivious when it comes to love and such so it's really adorable to see the relationships between them and other characters. 
- Both mangas are HILARIOUS! I'm not kidding you D:

Both series are about low ranking girls in rich kid schools who are pursuing/being pursued by a princely character.

Both series also have reverse harem elements.

However, The Gentlemen's Alliance Cross has more drama and romance than comedy, while Ouran starts off as an episodic comedy before going into the romance and family drama in the second half of the series.

Junai Host Club addpermalink

Junai Host Club is perfect if you want a shorter, but more mature version of Junai Host Club. As the titles suggest, both series are set predominantly in a host club and both have quite attractive-looking characters in them, but Junai is much more mature in themes than Ouran. 

Junai also has additional non-related one shot stories too, but these are just as nicely written as the story of Junai Host Club itself.

First of all, I definitely suggest you watch the Ouran anime, but read the Horimiya manga for the best experience 
Two lovebirds meet in a strange way. Behind closed doors, they become like entirely different images of themselves. But in public, they put on a social front. Is this considered a bad thing in Ouran Koukou Host Club, or Horimiya? No, the titles both center on embracing two sides of oneself when growing up.
- They both take place in late years of high school, with a bright future ahead for the main characters. 
- The main character in each title is a strong, masculine woman
- Tidbits of helping family are included
- The writing style in both titles is very romantic and beautiful while being funny at times read more

As an Ouran fan, I started reading Kekkon Shiyou yo because the male leads looked like Kyoya and Tamaki from Ouran. They also have similar personalities, which make both mangas quite enjoyable for the fans of the other. :) I for one enjoyed seeing my fave Kyoya in a romance of his own!

Sonna Me de Mitekure addpermalink

OK so this is going to seem like an extremely weird recommendation, but it's really true. Main difference I should say to start off is that Sonna Me de Mitekure is a BL, but I really don't think that should deter anyone from reading it. There's no gay sex or anything, and it is comedy GOLD.

Plot-wise, Ouran and Sonna Me de Mitekure have absolutely nothing in common. What makes these stories similar so that I would recommend them to readers of either manga is the character relationships. Particularly the relationships between Tamaki and Haruhi and Yamato and Haru. Tamaki is basically a blonde Yamato.

Both Tamaki and Yamato are extremely fond of their respective Harus, who are both fairly shy scholarship students. The other main aspect of their relationships is this: all of them are idiots when it comes to relationships. The Harus have no idea of their love interest's attraction towards them, and even Yamato and Tamaki don't realize that their feelings of love towards their kouhais is not that of family or friendship, but of a lover.

These two manga have very different plots, and Ouran is a lot longer, but if you like the relationship between the Harus and their love interest, then I highly recommend you check out whichever manga you haven't read. read more

Usotsuki Lily addpermalink

Both manga are beautifully drawn and light-hearted (and sometimes extremely silly). In Ouran only the main character (Haruhi) cross-dresses, but in Usotsuki Lily, nearly every character cross-dresses at least once (for various reasons). Both break the fourth wall constantly, and both implement the trope of not promoting the main characters in grades. While Ouran centres around the Host Club, Usotsuki Lily focuses more on the characters and their struggles and triumphs in their relationships with one another. Very delightful reads.

Both shows involve characters that need to hide there gender for the sake of their work. Very few people know that they are hiding their true gender and they have to prevent the secret from coming out.

Urakata!! addpermalink

Being by the same mangaka, they have a similar art style and humor. The main character in both series suddenly finds themselves being pulled into a club full of eccentric people, and have to adjust to their new surroundings. 

They mostly are humor, with gradual romance. Moments can turn from heartwarming to silly in only a few panels, and then back again. Neither is just about the main couple(s), focus is put on each important character and their stories as well. 

I fully enjoy reading both of these, with their funny moments, hints at romance, and a unique art style I've come to love.

Lovely★Complex addpermalink

At first glance, though both mangas are shoujos, they seem quite different. Indeed, their stories ARE quite different, but the feelings they evoke in their readers are just the same. Never have any mangas made me laugh like Ouran and Lovely Complex. Never have any mangas made me smile like Ouran and Lovely Complex. Never have two mangas made me tear like Ouran and Lovely Complex... theyre two fanatastic series witht the same kind of wacky humour, the same kind of sugary sweet romance, and the same kind of heroine.

Actually, this is the redeeming factor for both mangas. While Ouran's Haruhi has more of a wtf-i-dont-care attitude, Risa has more of a wtf-is-wrong-with-you-you-have-problems attitude. But they BOTH have a sense of rationality, and can make incredibly funny comments from anything (especially haruhi... she's so down to earth, I love her :D).

Honey and Clover is a Josei/Romance/Comedy/Drama story about College Life. While H&C's story is essentially different than Ouran's (and much more realistic) the general feel of H&C is very similar to Ouran.

Unlike many shoujos, the main plot of H&C is developed on the friendships (as well as romance) and relationships of all the characters as a group. You will have a feeling of 'I really want these characters never to separate and be friends forever'. And like Ouran, the characters are unique and you will never forget them.

Like Ouran, there may be love triangles floating around (like Tamaki/Haruhi/Hikaru) but in the end, you all know the characters still appreciate and love each-other. Just like H&C. read more
