Mahoutsukai no Yome: Hoshi Matsu Hito

Story and character-wise, they're both very similar in ways and are slice of life genre but with supernatural or magic genre added in, which isn't very common for the SoL genre. While this is a anime recommendation, I am recommending both anime and manga as the Mahoutsukai no Yome anime only focuses on the backstory with 3 OVA. Both have a similar backstory where both the protagonist grew up in a similar way. Troubled and scared as a child because of seeing things normal people can't and because of that, they act differently in a way that scares other people to the point even their own families don't want anything to do with them. How each managed to cope with it is what sets them apart. The main story itself revolves around them as teenagers where they've manage to find a place they can call home and even meet people or creatures along the way who befriend them and they do their best to live their daily lives with those who understand them, while occasionally running into trouble. Mahoutsukai no Yome focuses on magic and fantasy elements while Natsume Yuujinchou focuses on supernatural with yokais and such.

Both are food anime. Yakitate Japan focuses on bread and Shokugeki no Souma focuses in food in general. The great thing about the two are the reactions the ones eating the food get. While Yakitate Japan's are extremely hilarious and comical, Shokugeki's are more ecchi but still amusing at the same time. Both are quite in depth in explaining the process of how the food is prepared and also have cooking type battles.

Believe it or not, Devil Survivor 2 and Digimon Tamers are probably the closest anime in terms of similar themes you'll find. In both of the shows, creatures are appearing out of no where in Japan and causing havoc. In DS2, the ones who take care of these are the summoners, while in DT they are the tamers. In DS2 they use a variation of demons from folklore, stories and the such, while in Digimon Tamer it gets to the point where the enemies are based on folklore and legends as well. In DS2, you can almost consider the demons to be 'digital' as well as how they were effected by a virus in the system where in DT, it also occurs in and digimon is short for digitial monsters. There are plenty more similarities. The main difference between the two is the target audience. DT is aimed towards the younger and children while DS2 is more along the lines of teenagers.

You could say Joshi Kousei is what Seitokai Yakuindomo was before the school became gender co-ed. Both containing plenty of crude and sexual jokes/humor/etc.

The original base goal of the anime are both the same, to reach the top of the tower. However, SAO setting is a fantasy based virtual game, while Druaga is a fantasy setting based on a game. Though it may be spoiler-ish, the second half of SAO and the second season of Druaga are also the same, to find/save someone. There are also minor scenes that may remind you of the other anime like the boss being CG'd or even the tentacle scenes... lol...

Both series are based off of light novels. Though the main similarities is how they were adapted into their anime. Both barely bother to explain to you the minor details and you'll find yourself confused throughout both series unless you have prior knowledge of them from the light novels or any other source, although SAO does explain 'some' of its terminology. But regardless of understanding, both series are still enjoyable even with the lack of understanding. The overall genre of the two are fairly the same as well, as in action, adventure, fantasy, romance.

Itokoi Chidori

Both female mains are somewhat serious but have thier 'cute' moments. Both female mains are required to protect a certain someone, that someone being the person they love. Both manga are fairly short and a quick read. While Itokoi Chidori is more heavy in the sex scenes, Yakuza Girl is more heavy in gore and violence. Both are plenty heavy in ecchi/nudity.
