Manga: Shinozaki-san Ki wo Ota Shika ni!
For both series, there is an amusing themes that relates to otaku. It is a main focus as otaku culture is a prime way to express both series' ideas. The main female protagonist from both series also share similar traits including their popularity (formerly for the case of Shinozaki). Both series also has a slice of life-style in ways of their storytelling that cleverly convey humor.

Manga: Yotsuba to!
Slice of life series that adapts comedy with different perspectives. Both manga has a female protagonist who has more of a clever and mischievous personality. The relationships they form with others is refreshing with a sense of fun when it comes to conversations. And despite not portraying a direct story, both series has a good set of themes when presenting their narratives.

Manga: Hatarakanai Futari
Both manga tell stories about the daily life of two siblings, an older brother and a younger sister. In both manga, the older brother is more capable and reliable while the younger sister is immature and cute. Nonetheless, while Hatarakanai has almost no plots at all, in Himouto, there is at least a progression in the plots and character development.

Manga: Genshiken
Heartfelt love letters to the otaku culture depicting the lifestyle of these people obsessed with manga, anime or video games and portraying the insecurities and difficulty they can have integrating into society. Genshiken is very particular in that it depicts an older generation influenced by works from the 80s or 90s while umaru is very representative of the modern zoomer otaku and as a whole more centered around comedy.

Manga: Rin-chan Now
Rin and her manager remind me of Umaru and her brother from Hiamoto Umaru-chan. In some of the stories Rin behaves similiar to Umaru. Allthough Rin isn´t as immature as Umaru is.

Manga: Watari-kun no xx ga Houkai Sunzen
Both mangas have a heavy focus on the relationship between siblings. In both mangas, the MC older brother is hardworking and lives to take care of their spoiled imouto since their parents aren't around. Of course, without him noticing, some other girls fall in love with him as well. In both mangas, both the siblings have a sibling complex toward each other. The main difference between both mangas is that Himouto Umaru chan is more focus on comedy and slice of life but Watari Kun is more slice of life/drama/romance.

Manga: Ayakashi Ko
Similar fluffy, low-stakes slice of life aimed at a seinen audience. The art styles are very, very similar.

Manga: Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai
The main characters of both series (Umaru and Kirino) are perfect in looks, brains, and personality. They are people who everybody admires and idolizes but what other people don't know is that they are both a closet otaku and have been keeping this a secret to everyone. They both have older brothers (Taihei and Kyosuke) who knew their younger sister's secret and protected it from everyone. The difference in the series is the relationship between the siblings. Taihei and Umaru have a close relationship while Kyosuke and Kirino does not.

Manga: Gabriel DropOut
The titular characters are pretty similar. Umaru is a high school student who appears 'perfect' outside, but is a slob at home. Gabriel was a high-achieving angel before she was sent to Earth and got a video game addiction. Both are moe-style comedies that have a school as a major setting. Himouto! Umaru-chan seems more focused on the cuteness factor and relationships between characters, while Gabriel Dropout seems more comedy-oriented.

Manga: Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou
What is the secret fascination of the possibility of a dual life? Personally, I think it's our earnest hope that public overachievers (whether the straight A student at school or the Victoria Secret model) are secretly slobs like the majority of us are, and as such are less than perfect. So it's probably no surprise to see this as a common theme for the protagonist of both Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou (KareKano) and Himouto. By day (and in public) their as alpha as can be, while at night (and at home) they live a life of no standards.

Manga: Barakamon
They may follow different premises but Barakamon and Himouto! Umaru-chan shares a similarity with their comical gimmicks. The main characters are also young with an imaginative mind when it comes to curiosity. Don't expect much of a complex story but instead of a humorous slice of life tale to tell.

Manga: Shinryaku! Ika Musume
In both series, we have a female character with a peculiar personality. They express a variety of personalities each chapter depending on who they interact with others. There is a lot of comedy gimmicks in both series as well that ranges from cultural references, otaku, or life.

Manga: Switch Girl!!
It's funny how some characters can maintain their dual personalities. For both series, there's a main female protagonist that can "switch" on and off as if they become a totally different person. If you enjoy fiction that balances a character at different locations (home/school), then these two manga series are differently for you. Just note that Switch Girl focuses more on drama while Himouto! Umaru-chan adapts more of a slice of life/comedy hybrid.

Manga: Tonari no Seki-kun
While seemingly different on the outside, both Tonari no Seki-Kun and Himouto! Umaru-chan brings slice of life in a more creative form. Both series' main protagonists has an open mind when it comes to creativity. There's an absurd amount of humor in both series that stretches with a wide variety of events for both series. And while they don't follow any storyline or arc, they make it up with the distinctive events of what every day life should be in its most playful form.

Manga: Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui!
Watamote and Himouto are about two bizarre female characters who are has an indoor persona although they try to hide it from others at school. Their indoor-like life when not around school focuses on the otaku culture including anime, manga, and games. Both series adapts slice of life comedy with no linear story but a lot of humor. It's important to note that the female protagonist in Himouto is fairly popular at school while the female protagonist from Watamote is not.

Manga: Horimiya
Horimiya and Himouto! Umaru-chan reveals a lot about our characters when the setting changes. Both series adapts a story with a main character who behaves differently after school/at home. There's a dynamic focus on the relationships between the main girl with their friends and family. Horimiya is more well known for containing romance and realism while Himouto Umaru-chan pokes fun at its premise.

Manga: Waratte! Sotomura-san
Both series follows the life of a young girl who has a sort of reputation at school. Despite this, it's easy to see their real personality and self because they can be easily misunderstood. Both series follows a slice of life style without any complex story arcs. However, the character dialogues have humorous gags with lighthearted comedy.

Manga: Shirogane no Nina
Despite following different premises, both Himouto! Umaru-chan and Shirogane no Nina crafts slice of life with a whole load of charm. Both series' main female protagonist has a curious personality and is often mischievous with their everyday life actions. The interactions they have with other characters brings out both series' comedy at their best. Recommended for fans of slice of life and comedy.
