> both romance/shoujo mangas with a lot of good humor in the storyline > both have similar feling > both of the female leads are intresting, tough and deny that they are in love > both of the male leads are handsome, flirty, arrogant boys, but at the same time they can be cute and loving.  

They give the same kind of feeling. Not so feminine female main character, that falls in love or something with a super handsome guy... I like them both. So, if you're a fan of the gender (shoujo manga) then you'll probably like them too. ^_^ 

both have the male lead who pursues their love for the tough, independent, tsundere lead female ;) 

The female main characters have very similar personalities/qualities: Hard working, looked up to, independent, and very much in denial of love feelings towards male main character (tsundere). The humor is great in both mangas and the setting for both is high school. However, Namaikizakari is more sport orientated. 

Both of these are romance mangas. The female leads are quite similar to each other. They deny that they are in love and will have an cold heart expression on the face all the time. And the male leads are also similar, they confess their love to them and being super straight forward. And even if they get shoot down they won't stop. They always have this "cool" face on. So if you liked one of these your guaranteed to like the other one. 

Well, we have the same kind of character both in Kaichou wa Maid-Sama! and Namaikizakari. Both Usui Takumi ( Kaichou wa Maid-Sama! ) and Shou Naruse ( Namaikizakari ) is trying so hard to make Misaki Ayuzawa ( Kaichou wa Maid-Sama! ) and Yuki Machida ( Namaikizakari ) saying that they ( Misaki Ayuzawa and Yuki Machida ) are faliing in love with them ( Usui Takumi and Shou Naruse ). Both 2 protagonists also have the same characteristic. Kaichou wa Maid-Sama! and Namaikizakari also give you some romance story in a school life. With the difference background, these manga gives us 2 female protagonist who superior in what they do. Misaki Ayuzawa is a school president council and Yuki Manchida is a baskeball club manager. And they have 2 male protagonist who aren't interested at what others do at first, but then become so much helping. If you like Kaichou wa Maid-Sama!, I'm sure you will like Namaikizakari, and vice versa. Hope you enjoy it. read more 

Both have a strong-willed female lead. Both of the male leads are always teasing the female lead and in the end, the female lead falls in love with him.  

Both have similar male lead who gives the feeling that cold but cute sense. Both teasing the female lead that both female lead don't know if their love is true or a joke. They are similar in many ways so if you enjoy when reading either one you will enjoy the other while reading. 

Namaikizakari and Maid-sama! are very different setting wise. Namaikizakari is about a high school Basketball Club whereas Maid-sama is about the student council president and the schools resident hot boy. Where these manga are similar are the characters and their interactions. The ML in both manga are the schools hot guy, that all the girls wanna get close to but he only wants to be around and tease the FL. The FL's are similar as well both put up this perfect persona, while they actually struggle sometimes. This is when the ML's will stop their teasing and actually help their girl :) The interactions and characters are very similar in the two manga and if you liked one you'll probably enjoy the other. read more 

Both manga feature a somewhat unlikely romance between hard-working teen girls and hot idol guys who love teasing them. Both girls want to keep the inevitable romances a secret and struggle to deal with how this will affect their social position (as in, getting hated for dating a guy "above" them, etc.). Both are also very funny and have lots of heartwarming moments and cute romance. 

The ML are pretty similar in how they are both badass but do not entertain any girls other the FL. Similar FL who straight up ignores MC's advances and is pretty strong willed. Similar comedy, similar vibes 

The tsundere feeling is similar. 

Both series revolve around a tough female lead and her troubles with a popular, affectionate boy who seems to like her more than she'd prefer. Both love interests are cool and sly, but in Namaikizakari there's a lot more, well, third base. Without being rushed, of course. Both stories have a more natural feel than most shoujos, and the female lead isn't a total ditz, but rather someone you can root for and actually relate to. 

> both are lovable shoujo manga with intresting and playful characters. > both mangas have a lot of good humor in it (trust me you're gonna laugh) > both have a good art 

Namaikizakari and Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun are similar in the dynamics between the ML and FL. In both shoujos the FL is the hardworking, perfect yet expressionless girl. Where as the ML is the popular, tall, and smart guy. The shoujos end up giving a similar vibe even though their stories differ quite a bit. Namaikizakari is about the school's Basketball Club and their struggles and Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun is set in more of your typical highschool shoujo. 

Shizuku and Yuki are both expressionless, hardworking girls who fall for tall, attractive, inexplicably smart, "wild child" guys. After owning up to these feelings, they also struggle to balance their work with their romance, which is new territory. I prefer Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun to all other shoujo, but I will admit that Namaikizakari distinguishes itself from the genre with the basketball element. Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun spends more time developing the lead characters' relationships with others, and it has a stronger supporting cast. I forgot Yuki even had friends! Furthermore, I think the timeline of Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun is established better. 

Both of them are the addictive type of manga and the characters are somehow similar in their crazy ways. Drama and tears are just in moderate amount and the story is nothing special, but somehow, you cannot stop reading. Give it a try and you will see, if you liked one, you will definately like the other! 

it's just similar ok? 

The heroines of both mangas are strong yet completely bewildered by love and dating. Rather than being the Basketball Team's manager Aiko is a player on the girl's team, teased by Leo, the male baskeball player. Both have male leads who are fawned over by other girls, yet fall for the unexpected girl. However, Himistu no Ai-chan brings in the maid cafe element whereas, Namikizakari focuses solely more around the Basketball club. Think of this Himistu no Ai-chan as Namaikizakari meets Kaichou wa Maid-sama. Both are great reads! 

Hello! After I've finished reading Namaikizakari. It reminds me of the Shoujo manga title Himitsu no Ai-chan in some ways. Both FL (Female lead) is affiliated with a basketball club/team. I found their vibes and personality similar; even the MLs (male lead) are both on the basketball team, they're good players and popular among girls and such. Love triangles are relevant in this story too with annoying 'they-so-called-antagonist'.  

Both are about slowly developing love stories with basketball :) The artwork is different, but really nice.  

At their core Harumatsu Bokura and Namaikizakari have the same premise. The Basketball club manager and one of the star basketball players. They are also both love triangle stories. While the differ in the main characters personalities. In Harumatsu Bokura the ML is the silent, stoic pretty boy and the FL is your typically has no friends cute shoujo protagonist. In Namaikizakari the ML is the hot guy everyone loves, but he loves to tease the FL. The FL is the emotionless hardworking type. While the characters are very different, the settings of the two manga are very similar. 

it just give simillar feels 

At their core Tsubasa to Hotaru and Namaikizakari have the same premise. The Basketball club manager and one of the star basketball players. They are also both love triangle stories. While the differ in the main characters personalities. In Tsubasa to Hotaru the ML is the silent, stoic pretty boy and the FL is your typically has no friends cute shoujo protagonist. In Namaikizakari the ML is the hot guy everyone loves, but he loves to tease the FL. The FL is the emotionless hardworking type. While the characters are very different, the settings of the two manga are very similar. 

Both are romance mangas involving sports. The FLs are the managers for each respective club and have a crush on one of the club member. However, the MCs (who are the bad boy popular type character troupe) have an interest in the FL and develop a crush on her.  

Both manga are about sports Both male leads are possessive and fell in love with the female mc. Both are kouhai-senpai relationship. When you read this manga it felt like you were also reading Namaikizakari. The difference is that Ichirei Shite, Kiss is an archery while Namaikizakari is basketball.
