Angel Sanctuary is action packed with a hint of romance, but if you like the story line with angels and would like to see more romance rather than more action, you will like Ayashi no Ceres. In Ayashi no Ceres they aren't technically angels, but they are considered angels. The story isn't as deep as Angel Sanctuary so it makes for a much lighter read if that's what would suit you best.  

Ayashi no Ceres and Yurara are somewhat similiar manga. In Ceres, a teenage girl, Aya, can transform into her legendary ancestor, Ceres. In Yurara, high school student Yurara, can call on her guardian spirit for protection. What Yurara does that, her body transforms to look like her guardian spirit. Her guardian spirit's personality also affects her and influences her choices. Ayashi no Ceres is decidedly darker than Yurara, which tends to be more light hearted. Both Ceres and Yurara also feature love triangles between the main female character and the two male protagonists. 

The main characters in both manga are really similar to each other personality wise. The story and plot are completely different however, but both are fantasy supernatural romances with a lot of emphasis on the relationship development between the main characters. 

Both have strong elements of sci-fi, drama, and romance. Also, they have that unexplainable pull that keeps you reading. There's also love triangles, hidden powers and some social commentary in both. 

The feeling I got by reading it, was very similar to the one I got when I red Ayashi. Besides this, the character design of some of the characters [especially Mikage – XD even the name makes me think of it] also resembles a little to those from Ayashi. If you were bewitched by the supernatural elements, the powerful Gods and you wanted to see the misunderstandings that lead the following generations on a road of tragedy getting cleared you should give this title a try. 

It has a couple of similar themes, if few. One idea is the creation of a superior race. Ayashi no Ceres and Death Note are very excellent series, and I highly reccomend them to anyone and everyone looking for a good story. 

Another great story from the same author, although FY's story is founded more on a fantasy basis. FY has less horror, more humour and a lighter tone generally, but the love plots in Watase's works are similar enough. I preferred FY by far, but both mangas are worth a read. 

In Genei Musou Tamaki Otoya is the last of his line of summoners who defend humanity where in Ayashi no Ceres Aya Mikage is the one to carry the tennyo (Celestial maiden) blood of Ceres. The power of a human heart is tested with the cruelty of humanity. Is the power of love enough?  

Both are slightly darker shoujo (Ceres is of course MUCH darker) dealing with some amount of historical Chinese elements, reincarnation, lots of drama and complex love triangles. Incandescent Moon also feels a little bit inspired by Yu Watase's works. 

Both are really untraditional shoujo's that have to do with past lives and making up for their mistakes, both are really really good and female centric 

Both of these series are adult-like romances with some horror and fantasy thrown in. 

Both by the same author/artist, Yuu watase. Has a cute romance that didn't start out really well at first, but it was nice seeing how it developed! Alice 19th is a kind of dark and has a bit of drama, just like ayashi no ceres, only shorter, and less bloodier. There are also family issues in this one! 

It also has to do with Japanese legends and some similar horror themes 

Both have characters who suddenly discover they have angel DNA, and a fight then ensues between them and the organisaton behind it all. 

Both stories involve a girl one day turning into some kind of monster and being hunted down for it. 

Both series is from my favorite mangaka. I highly Recommend you Fushigi Yugi Genbu Kaiden if you enjoyed reading Ceres. Athough they don't share anything plot-wise. Both contains wonderful story. Ceres is more on supernatural, psychological, dark series, while Fushigi Yugi Genbu Kaiden is adventure, fantasy and tragic tale. If you are an avid Watase follower you shouldn't missed both of these. Plus FYGK's heroine is not your typical whiny girl. She's responsible, independent and brave. Highly Recommended both this series, handsdown. Epic stuff. Nuff said go find scans or get the manga itself.  

Both are smutty manga with plenty of drama which involve love between twins, even though Imouto has actual incest, while Ceres doesn't. Also, Aya and Iku are very similar: both are blonde, dumb and quite annoying schoolgirls. 

Adventurous shoujo with supernatural elements revolving around a tennyo legend. 

Ayashi No Ceres and Her Majesty's Dog have the same 'feel' to their story. Their main charaters and both born into a supernatual high ranking position, of which they can't escape, and they have cute boy henchmen. There is also lots of mystery and supernatural occurrences in Ayashi no Ceres, which make them very similar and unique in many ways.
