Love So Life has a heroine like Oona Fumi. Both heroine have no parents. They are good at housework. And they have older love interests. 

Two hardworking, cute, klutzy, but slightly-out-of-touch high schoolers become maids for really popular writers. The male leads are beautiful, brooding and resist help, but slowly find themselves relying on the girls more then just with simple household chores. Neither series are groundbreaking given how incredibly similar the plots are, but they give you short bursts of fluffy feelings in different ways. 

Both series are written by the same author, Yamamori Mika. As such, expect similarity with the style of their storytelling and artwork. The main female protagonist of both series has to move into a new environment and adapts with their lifestyle. Throughout the series, they build connections with others and love blooms between certain characters. Recommended for fans interested in lighthearted shoujo. 

Both of these stories focus on romance in a domestic situation. A high-school girl falls in love with the older man whose house she's living in. Both the heroines are lonely, and find love through experiencing a warm home. These stories are both very touching, even though they don't include a lot of drama and gimmicks or action. 

Both manga focus on a girl that has been left in by their father in the care of an older male. Both manga are about an high school girl falling for their temporary guardian. Both have an awesome art, great storyline and greta character development.  

Both manga deal with a younger girl older guy romance story. In Tsubaki they live together, in Kunshu somewhat living there. Tsubaki is deeper and Kunshu a bit lighter and more humorous  

Both manga include a female high school student and a young man living together in the same household due to certain circumstances on the girl's side. In Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet the girl lives with an author who she calls sensei and falls in love with. In contrast to Kiss yori mo Hayaku the girl is very capable when it comes to cooking and hosework. In both manga the sensei becomes her new family. 

Being a teenager and living with your crush while desperately trying to come to terms with your feelings for them is both scary and exciting- and this is the exact situation the protagonists, Fumi and Miko find themselves in. While Fumi moves in to live with Akatsuki as his housekeeper, Miko moves to her uncle's share house to live with five adults whom she's never met before, only to catch herself crushing on one of her housemates, Matsunaga. And so, everything and anything that happens in a person's everyday life gets turned into small, romantic moments, sure to pull you at your heartstrings. 

age gap romance 

These two are of my all time favourite romance manga with no problematic situations or misunderstandings except for some, but I'll let these slide as they are done well.. Both have age gap too..  

-Good romance - minimal drama -Nice art -age gap manga (tsubaki chou gap is 12 years and gomashio is 20+) -both male leads are Dilfs -Satisfying endings dissimilarities: - in tsubaki chou the female lead is still a student while in Gomashio both leads are already working adults - in gomashio they are already in a relationship (of sorts) at Chapter 1 while at tsubaki chou they get together at the middle 

The stories are very, VERY different.. but there are a few similarities. Both heroines have no home left to go back to, they both live with older male guardian-like figures, and they both end up falling for them. Kamisama is much longer and it isn't as simple as Tsubaki-chou, but I really enjoy both of them. To me, they have similar feelings. 

In both mangas a high school student gets related with a reclusive writer who is much older than the girl. Both heroines are smart and mature. And of course, this aged man is the main love interest. 

The heroines are quite similar. Both are rendered homeless due to an unfortunate event and subsequently end up working as a live-in maid at the hero's house. They're independent and strive to not be a burden to others, even if they desperately need help. The heroine feels lonely without a family and the hero recognizes that loneliness and, despite initially being a cold person, yearns to fill her loneliness just as she warms his heart. Both stories are about how the MCs gradually become a family, change each other's lives, and fall in love with each other while living together.  

Similar story settings, highschool girl living with a "sensei".  

Both Houkago x Ponytail & Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet are about high school girls interacting with/having feelings for older, adult authors/mangaka and involve a lot of settings being inside the home of the author. They both also include bits of comedy and have clean shoujo art styles, as well. While Houkago x Ponytail finishes within 1 volume, Tsubaki-chou takes longer to build up its romance due to its length, but perhaps ultimately also has more payoff as a direct result. The majority of Houkago x Ponytail takes place in the author's house, similar to Tsubaki-chou, though Tsubaki-chou has more changes of setting overall, including Fumi's house, school, a bar, et cetera. Tsubaki-chou also has a much larger cast with side characters who have stories of their own. What makes the manga so similar really is how each girl is contracted to help the male lead but then falls in love with him, though in different ways. In Houkago x Ponytail, the girl is meant to be a real-life character model for the mangaka she is working with. She is also a fan of his work prior to accepting the job, unlike in Tsubaki-chou. Houkago x Ponytail's protagonists also meet by chance, whereas in Tsubaki-chou the girl knows she's going to live with someone as a housekeeper, though she doesn't know who. In both manga, however, the girls end up developing feelings for their respective male leads. Overall, because of their similar premises and similar stories (girl falling in love with an older male author/mangaka), they are similar enough to say if you enjoyed one, you'll probably also enjoy the other. read more 

Poor/unlucky high school girls have to move in with grumpy writers. Both are great! 

Both main characters have a strong sense of responsibility, whether it's the cause of her family or friends. But then the male character appeared and made the girl rely on them more, and you know. Romance happens. 

Both girls are caught in a dilemma of misfortune and needs to survive. Was luckily hired by a guy who is in need of a housekeeper. 

Both mangas portray a near-forbidden romance between an old guy and a young girl. But that's not all: both guys happen to be writers, both girls fall in love first and in both case there is an editor quite interested in how this romance could bloom.
