Skip Beat! addpermalink

I would say that both are very interesting and engaging stories about a girl making it in show business. Both are shoujos and have obvious love stories but somehow both really develop solid relationships and ideas that make these two mangas very enjoyable and even a bit intellectual.

Skip Beat is newer and more modern but I like the 90's feel and art of Ashita no Ousama. They both borrow different shoujo stereotypes. Ashita has the innocent girl (not annoying though, just more far-fetched) and Skip Beat has more unrealistic plot developments but none of these get in the way, especially compared with all the other shoujo I read, because the mangakas really know how to put a lot of thought into why/what.

To sum, it is worth trying one if you like the other. These two mangas stand out from a sea of shoujo. read more

Glass no Kamen addpermalink

They both talk about plays and acting. :)  Ashita no Ousama, on the other hand, talks about the script writer and how their script makes it to the screen, so to speak. :)

Both series are about college age women discovering a career that they love and devoting themselves to it, both have romantic subplots that develop slowly in the background and both have very similar artwork. If you liked one, you should definitely try the other.

The One addpermalink

Strong female leads with a dream to succeed in their respective fields (modeling for The One and directing for Ashita no Ousama). The One is slightly more focused on romance and healing, and Ashita no Ousama's romance plays out in the background, but both have characters who develop through reaching their dream and becoming successful.

Both wonderful Josei works with a similar sense of romance. Although both do not focus on love (more on their careers really), they are still hilarious reads and amazingly well-done.

Beck addpermalink

Despite their differences in protagonist age and target audience--Beck is for and about teenage boys, Ashita no Ousama adult women--both manga follow slightly dorky, down-to-earth main characters growing up and learning to follow their talents in creative fields.  Both of the series show realistic ups and downs but maintain a basically optimistic tone, and both also have a nice but mostly background romance subplot.

Fukuyadou Honpo addpermalink

Another high quality josei from the same scanslation group. Both have great storylines and character development. Ashita has prettier art but Fukuya lets you see more of the sisters. Even if the plots aren't the same, I say if you liked one, try the other.

Kodomo no Omocha addpermalink

Kodocha focuses more on romance and comedy, and Ashita no Ousama shows more of the details of the acting world, but both series are about strong female characters pursuing careers in show business.  They're both well-written stories, cute but with enough emotional depth to keep them from being fluff.
